STEVENSON Author of "The Utglladay Case" Copyr iht. 1904. by li my Iloft and Company . "I don't doubt it," said Drysdale, with a puzzling listlessness, "It's very good of you both to take all this trou- ble," i 1 The jailer opened the door, and we passed out. "Do you kuow when the inquest will be?" Godfrey asked as we stepped through together into the outer room. "Yes, sir; t'morrer morniu'. They'd `have had it today, but Coroner Ileftel- bower hopes t' Auil th' necklace by •t'morrer." "Oh, so they haven't found it, then?' "No, sir; they Searched Drysdale's room, but it wasn't there. Now they're tryin' t' Agger out where he hid it" ' "Well," observed Godfrey, "they'll .have to figure a long time, because he didn't hide it anywhere." "Alebbe not,' sir," retorted the jailer, ',with a skeptical smile. "But appear- ances are dead agiu hila. Why, even his girl thinks he diel it" "How do you know that?" demanded ;Godfrey quickly. "W1'heu Ilefie'bower was bringin' him out o' th' house, they met her in til' hall an' she asked Drysdale what he wanted tt' do it fer, why he couldn't 'a' waited awhile. That's purty good evidence, I think." Godfrey had listened with a face hard as steel. He turned away without an- swering, and as we went down the street together I saw that this+new de- velopment puzzled and worried him sorely. That \iiss Croydou should think Drysdale guilty, even for an instant, was inconceivablei We made our way to the nearest he - tel and engaged at trap and while it was gettiug ready ordered a light . lunch. Godfrey ate in thoughtful si- lence; as for me, 'I confess that I. saw little ground for that conviction he had expressed so confidently, that we could prove our client's innocence, I was forced to admit that to look at Drys • dale no one ivould believe him capable of such a crime. But, then, for that :matter, to lookitt'Tremaine, who would .believe him capable of it? Put the two' .men before a jury and Trematne would come off victor every time. It becomes, instinctive hi time for a lawyer to try, to look at his cases with an average jury's eyes—he must see them as those :twelve men. In the box will see them— :and. applying that method now it was' ,very evident to me that the chance of A clearing our client was very slim `deed. The trap came around to the door, and to a moment we were off along the 'sandy road. At last we swung down before the door at E(lgemere. A man 'ran out to hold our horse. We asked ifor Mr. Delroy, and a servant who had • Breen stationed in the vestibule took hi 'bur cards. He returned immediately 'and conducted us to the library. Del- roy came forward to meet us, our cards in his hands, a curious look of doubt and.perplexlty upon his countenance. "My dear Godfrey," he began, "I ,didn't like to refuse to see you, and yet I've declined to talk to reporters"— "You're not talking to one now, Mr. .Delroy," broke in my companion. "I've ik ;.come down purely In Drysdale's be- ,ha1f. Of course I'jl write up the story iif' I succeed in getting him off, but I'll +Apt use anything I learn here in that „way." 7 "Oh, that's all right then," and Del - troy breathed a sigh of relief. "Glad to see you. And you, too, Air. Lester." • "Mr. Lester is Drysdale's counsel," 'explained my combonien. "Between us we're going to see that he's cleared of this ridiculous charge." "Yes, I hope you will. Sit down, won't you? Ridiculous, that's the word fol it, and yet," he added, passing his hand before his eye, In dancd way. "there are so many paints of evidence which seem unexplainable that I've grown gtdcly thinking about them. It's ,such a terrible thing my wife is quite ale delirious at Iprostrai..d, even a little Hines; her sister is almost ill; we've al: .been terribly upset" "No doubt," nodded Godfrey, his face curiously intent.

"Of course I to do Is to give us an account of all didn't expect to fid anything here; our that happened that evening. I hope • friend is much too clever to be caught you will do that" "Yes, I'll be glad to do that," And he proceeded to tell in. detail the story the reader already knows. "There's oue thing," said Godfrey when it was ended. "Is it true that Miss Croydon seemed to believe Drys- dale guilty?" "Yes," answered Delroy, "for an in- stant she did, but she explained to me afterward that she thought it was Tre- maine who had been killed." Godfrey's eyes blazed with sudden interest. "Tremaine! Theu there's been 'HI feeling between them?" "Yes, at least on Drysdale's part: He'd conceived some absurd suspicion of Trematne, told me I'd done wrong - in Inviting him here, acted rather naso tily about it, in fact." "Thank you," said Godfrey quietly, though his eyes were still shining. "Now I should like your.permissiou to look over the grounds and to examine the rooms which Drysdale and Tre- inalne occupied." "Certainly." And Delroy touched the bell. "Thomas," he said to the servant who entered, "you will take these gen- tlemen wherever they wish to go and answer any questions they may ask you." We went first to the boathouse and pier and looked over the scene of the tragedy. I was struck at once by the change in Godfrey's demeanor. Ile no longer seemed either perplexed or wor- ried. His face was shining with tri- umph. Evidently he had discovered a way out of the labyrinth. To the"boathouse he gave a particu- larly careful scrutiny, searching in ev- ery corner, 'apparently for some mi- nute object which he failed to find. Out on the pier again he stood, looking up and down with thoughtful face. "Pshawt" he said suddeniy. "I might have known I was just wasting my time in there. Come this way, Les- ter." • He hurried. back through the boat- house and down to the bench, Along the edge of It he walked, scrutinizing every inch of the sand, Suddenly he stooped, with a little cry of triumph, and caught up a small bottle. It was quite empty. He removed the cork,, sniffed it and replaced it quickly. "Do you mean to say, Godfrey," I de- manded In astonishment, "that you have been looking fqr that bottle?" "It's precisely what I've been look- ing for," he returned exultantly. "And I've learned one thing—never to rats - trust a logical deduction. Now let's go back to the house. And, Thomas," he added to 'our guide, "take us back by the way that will bring us opposite the room occupied by Mr. Tremaine." "All right, sir," said Thomas. "His room was right next to Mr. Drysdale's in ti' east wing—there it is now, sir— th' third and fourth windows from tit' end." "And the fifth and sixth windows be- long to Mr. Drysdale's room?" "Yes, sir." A sort of balcony ran along the en- tire wing just beneath the windows, half covered with creeping vines, which in summer no doubt completely draped it. Godfrey examined it with shining eyes. Then he walked- straight . tin the end of the building, • • "Now, Lester," lie said, "I'm going to make a prediction. I predict that we'll find the wall at the corner fresh- ly scratched in more than one place. Ah, now, see therel" The marks were plain enough, and the cluster of heavy vines which ran up here against the house also showed signs of abrasion. "What would you say those marks meant, Lester?" Godfrey asked. "1 should say," answered, readily l l y enough, "that some one had recently climbed up to the balcony or down from it." • "Both ways, Lester; both up and down. Oh, this.,is much simpler than I'd expected! Now take us up to the rooms, Thomas." But in the vestibule he paused. "Is that the rack where the coats hang, Thomas?" he asked. "Yes, sir" "And where Air. Drysdale hung his coat that night?" "Yes, sir." "Did you happen to notice, Thomas, when he carne in whether or not the top button of his raincoat was miss- ing?" "Yes, sit," answercl Thomas slowly. "I thought about it afterward, and it's mighty funny, sir, but 'I'd swear he had his coat buttoned up tight around his throat. Bove could he 'a' done that if th' top button wasn't there?" "how indeed?" nntsed Godfrey, gaz- ing at the rack with eyes intent. 'thea they softened, brightened; hie flue broke Into a smile. "Of euurse," he said, half to himself. "Itow dense of me not to have thought Of It! Now, Thomas, we'll go -upstairs." capping that way. Thomas, I suppose this table is just where it was when Mr, Tremalue bad the room?" "Ye,e, sir." Godfrey sat clown at it, measuring the distance from it to the window. "Lester," he said, "I wish you'd go out and come up the walk and see if you can see me sitting here." I ran down stairs and did as he Cew the Si directed, but could catch not a glimpse of him. "Well?" he culled down, coming to the open window. "I can't see you at all," I mid. "I thought so. Come up again." He was sitting again at the table when I opened the door. "Now, take a look at it, • Lester," he said. "You'll see that the table is so far away from the window that it's CHAPTER X VI. 11011A$ led the way through the hall and up the etalr.

She was standing by a window, Iook- iag out across the waters of the bay, and she did not turu for an instant— not, ludeed, until Godfrey had closed the r eor carefully behind him.

"Yes, Miss Croydon," replied God- frey, mote gently perhaps than he had iuteluier to speak. "This is Mr. Les- ter," he added, '"who bas been engaged to defend Mr. Drysdale." She acknowledged the introduction with the faintest of bows. "I hope Mr. Lester will be success- ful," she said, in the coldest of tones. One would have thought her a mere chance acquaintance of my client. I saw Godfrey looking at her with searching eyes, and his face hardened. "We mean to be successful," he said curtly. "You may as well ask us to sit down, Miss Croydon, because our busi- ness here will take some time, and I tun sure it will tiro you to stand." "Really," she began; 'then her eyes met hie, burning with meaning. "Oh, very hell," she said faintly and Sank into the chair nearest her. "Now, Miss Croydon," Godfrey con- tinued in the same coldly imperative tone, "I intend to speak to you bluntly and directly. We. have beaten about the bush too bug already. I see that you are not inclined to deal frankly with us. You have not been frank with us front the first. You have sought to blind us, to throw us off the track.
