From the land side the sheer -.hundred foot drop of Hawkill cliffs -shuts it off. There Is no settlement . near the cove. The somber repute •'suggested by its name has served to tkeep cottagers from building on the ',Wildly beautiful uplands that over - 'brood the beach. The straggling path- -pays along the edge afford the only eSuggestion of human traffic within Ain't a mile of the spot. A. sharp cut 'ravine leads down to the sea by a r l'tatber treacherous descent. , • Near the mouth of this opening a -"Considerable gathering of folk speck - •td the usually deserted beach at . oon of July 6. They centered on a Jklark object a few yards within the 1 ood tide Wait. Some scouted about, eering at the sand. Others pointed . rst to the sea, then to the cliffs. From some distance away a lone an of a markedly different type from e others observed them with an ex- ession of displeasure. One of the roup presently detached himself and bled over to the newcomer. "Swanny," he ejaculated, "if it ain't erfessor gent! Didn't know you at rat under them whiskers. You W- ernher me, don't you? I used to Ivo you around when you was here fore." "I've just come out of the woods, l.arv1s. And as you have Some very t teresting sea currents just here, I 'thought I'd have a look at them.

Professor Kent's eyebrows went Up as he glanced toward the indicated spot; then gathered in a frown. "Not wished up there, surely?" he "Some time early this morning." "Pshawl" said the other, turning to look at the curving bulwark of rocks over which the soft blow swell was barely breaking. "If it were the other end of the cove, now, I could under- stand it." "Yes," agreed Jarvis, "they mostly come in at the other end on this tide." "Mostly? Always." The professor's tone was positive. "Unless my charts are wrong. But this -well, it spoils at least one phase of my theory." "Theeryl" exclaimed the liveryman, his pale eyes alight "You got a theery? But I thought you didn't know anything about the body till I told you just now." "Oh. my ruined theory has reference to the currents," sighed the other. "It has -nothing to do vvith dead men as such." "This is a dead woman. Come and see for yourse1f.4 Still frowning, Professor Kent suf. fered himself to be led to the spot. Two or three of the group, as it part- ed before him, greeted him, He found himself looking down on a corpse clad in a dark silk dress and stretched on a wooden grating, to which it was lashed with a small rope. Everything about the body indicated wealth. The dress was expensively made. The shoes were of the best type, and the stockings were silk. The head was marred by a ftightful bruise which had crushed in the right side and ex- tended around behind the ear. Blood had clotted thickly in the short close curled hair. The left side was un- marked. The eyes were closed and the mouth was slightly open, showing a glint of gold amid very white and regular teeth. An expression of dead- ly terror distorted the face. Professor Kent bent closely over it. "That's .strange -very strange," he murmured. "It should be peaceful." "But look at the handl" cried Jar- vis. Here, indeed, was the astounding feature of the tragedy, the aspect that brought Kent to his knees, the more closely to observe:- The body lay twisted slightly to the right, with the left arm extended. The left wrist was enclosed in a light rusted handcuff to which a chain was fastened. At the end of the chain was the companion cuff, shattered, evidently by •a power- ful blow, and half buried in the sand. As Kent leaned over the corpse a fat, powerful, grizzled man With a metal badge on his shirt front pushed for- ward. "Them's cast Iron cuffs," he an- nounced. "That kind ain't been used these forty years." "What kind of a ship 'ud be carry - in' 'em nowadays?" asked some one in the crowd. "An' what kind of a seaman'd be putting of 'em on a lady's wrist?" growled a formidable 'Mee'which Kent, looking up, perceived to have come from amid a growth of heavy white whiskers, sprouting from a weather furrowed face. "Seafaring man, aren't you?" In- quired Kent. "No more. Fifty year of it, man an' boy, has put me in harbor." "That's Sailor Smith," explained Jar- vis. "Mr. Smith, will you take a look at those lashings and tell me whether .in your opinion they are the work of a sailor?" asked Kent. The old hands fumbled expertly. The old face puckered. Judgment came forth presently. "The knots is well enough. The lashin's a passable job. What gits the is the rope." "Well, what's wrong with the roper "Nothin' in pertic'ler. Only I don't know what just that style of rope would be doin' onshipboard unless It was to hang the old man's wash "Suppose we lift this grating," Kent suggested, "to see whether a ship's name is stamped somewhere on It" He heaved the woodwork up on edge and held it so, while eager eyes scan- ned the under part. Murmurs of dis- appOintment followed. In these Kent did not join. He had ineerted a finger in a crevice of the splintered wood and had eXtradted some small objet whkh he held in the palm of his hand, ex- aminieg it thoughtfully. - "Wot ye got there?" demanded the eherift Professor Kent stretched out his band, disclosing a small grayish Ob..

Presently be was scanning the tangled debris that the highest tide of the year teul heaped up Almost against the cliff's foot. When he rejoined the crowd it had suffered the loss of one of its component parts, the sheriff. Conjec- ture was buzzing from mouth to mouth as to the offieiat's suddeo defection. "Whatever it was he got from the Rocket," Kent heard one of the men say, "It started him quick." "Looked to me like an envelope," hazarded some one. "No," contradicted Sailor Smith; "paper would bare been all pulped up by the water." "Marked handkerchief, maybe," sug- gested anothek. "Like as not," said Jarvis. "You bet ,that Len Sehlager figured it out there Was 'somethin' in It for him anyways. I could see the money gleam in Ws eye." "That's right too." confirmed the old gallon "He looked just like that when ko brought in that half wit peddler, thinkin' he was the thousan' dollar re ward thief last year." Professor Kent advabced and beat over the manacled corpse. "Have to ask you to stand back, per. fessor," said Jarvis. "Len's appointed me special dep'ty till he comes back." "Wonder if Len knowed the corpse?'' suggested somebody in the crowd. "Tell you who did if he didn't," saia another man. ° "Who, then?" "Elder Iry Dennett Didn't none of you hear about his meetin' up with s strange woman yestiddy evenin'?" "Shucks! This couldn't be that wet - man," said Jarvis. "How'd she come to be washed ashore from a wreck be. tween last night and this morning?' "Elow'd she come to be washed ashore from a wreck anyway?" coun• tered Sailor Smith. "The' ain't been no storm for a week, an' this body ain't been dead twenty-four bours." "It plumb beats me," admitted Jan vis. "Who is this Dennett?" asked Pro fessor Kent. "Iry? He's the town gab of Martin- dale Center. Does a little piumbin' an tinkerin' on the side. Just now he's up to Cadystown. Took the 10 o'clock train last night." "Then it was early when be met this woman?" "Little after sundown.

He quizzed her. Trust the elder for that. But he didn't get much out of her until he mentioned the Nook. Then she allowed she guessed she'd go there. An' he watched her go." "You say a man named Sedgwick lives at the Nook. Is that Francis Sedgwick the artist?" asked Kent. "Tilers him," said Sailor Smith. "Paints right purty pictures. Lives there all alone with a Chinese cook." "Well, the lady went down the hill," continued Jarvis, "just as Sedgwick come out to smoke a pipe 011 till8 stone wall.

The sheriff's lienvy figure appeared on the brow of the cliff, moving to- ward the village. "Who is it with him?" inquired Kent. "Gansett Jim." answered Jarvis. "Au Indian?" "Gosh! You got good eyes!" said levels. "He's more Indian than any- thing else. Comes from down Ama- gansett svay and gets his name from it." "14.m! When did he arrive?" "While you was trapesin' around up yonder." "Did he see the body?" "Yep. just .after the sheriff got whatever it was from the pocket Gan - sett Jim hove in sight.

"He's a sort of a harmless ecientffic crank," explained Jarvis; "comes from Washington; something to do with the government work." "Kinder loony, I think," conjectured a little, thin, piping man. "Musses and moves around like it" "Is that so" said Sailor Smith, who still had his eyes fixed on the scarined neck.; "Well, I ain't any too dum sure thet he's' as big a fool as some folks I know thet thinks likelier of their - selves.

It was the fuzzy cocoon of a small and quite uninmortaut ipsect. The Washingtou scientiet seated on a bowlder opened up the cocoon with att. sorbed interest, pricked it until the impotent inmate wriggled In protest, and then cast it aside to perish. Between the roadway and the broad front lawn of the Nook a four foot rough stone wall interposes. Looking up from his painting, Francis Sedg- wick beheld in the glare of the after. noon sun a spare figure rise alertly upon the wall, descend to the road and rise again. He stepped to the open window and watched a curious prog- ress, A scrubby bearded man clad in serviceable khaki was performing a stunt, with the wall as a basis. He was walking from east to west quite fast and every third pace Stepping upon the wail; Stepping, Sedgwick duly noted, not jumping, the change of level being made without visible ef- fort. Leaning out of the window he called:, "Hello, there!" . "Good afternoon," said the stranger, in a quiet, cultivated voice. • "Would you mind telling me what you are doing on my, wall?" . "Not in the least," replied the beard- ed man, rising buoyantly into full view and subsiding again with the rhythna of a wave. "Well, what are you doing?" "Taking a little exercise." By this time, having reached the end of the wall, he turned and came back, making the step with his right leg in- stead of his left. Sedgwick hurried downstairs and out into the roadway. The stranger continued his perform- ance silently. "Do you do that often?" he asked presently. The gymnast paused, poised like a Mercury on the high coping. "Yes," said he, "otherwise'l shouldn't be able to do it at all. It is in pursuance of a theory of self defense', "Wbat in the world has wall hopping to do with self defense?" "I shall expound," said the stranger In professional tones, taking a seat by. the unusual method of letting himself down on one leg while holding the other at right angles to his body. "Do you know anything of jujutsu?" "Very little." "In common with most Americans. • For that reason alone the Japanese system is highly effective here, not so effective in Japan. You perceive there, the basis of my theory." , "No; I don't perceive it at all." . "A system of defense is effective in proportion to its unfamiliarity. That is all." "Then ye -Ur system .consists in step- ping up on a wall and diving into obscrnity on the farther side perhaps," suggested Sedgwick ironically. "Defense, I said, not escape. Es- cape is perhaps preferable to defense, but not always so practicable. No; the wall merely served as a temporary gymnasium while I was waiting for you.,, "You have distinctly the advantage of me," said Sedgwick, with a frown, for he was in no mood to welcome strange visitors. "To return to my theory of self de- fense," said the other imperturbably. "My wall exercise serves to keep limber and active certain muscles that in the average man are halt atro- phied." He rose on one foot with an ease that made the artist stare, descended, selected from the roadway a stone of ordinary cobble size and handed it to Sedgwick. "Let that lie on the palm of your hand," said he, "and hold it out, waist high." • As he spoke he was standing two feet from the other to his right. Sedg- wick did as he was requested. As his hand took position there was a twist of the bearded man's lithe body, a sharp click, and the stone, flying in a rising curve, swished through the leaf- age of a lilac fifty feet away. "How do you do that?" cried the artist. The other showed a slight indenta- tion on the inside of his right boot heel and then swung his right foot slowly and steadily up behind his left knee and let it lapse into position again. "At shoulder height," be ex- plained. "I could have done the same, but it would have broken your hand." "I see," said the other, adding with listaste, "but to kick an opponent!

Presently Fran- cis Sedgwick was telling hie friend the Story of his feverish and thwarted ten years in the world. Within a year of his graduation his on.ly surviving relative had died, willing to him a considerable fortune, the income ot which be used in furtherance of a hitherto suppressed ambition to study art. Paris, his Mecca, was first a taskmistress, then a temptress, finally a vampire. Before succumbing he had gone far in a few years toward tbe development of a curious technique of his own. Followed then two years of dissipation, a year of travel to recu- perate and the return to Paris, which was to be once more the taskmistress. But, to his terror and self loatbing, be found the power of application gone. The muscles of his mind .had become flabby. "All by virtue of a woman's laugh; the laugh oE a woman without virtue," he told Kent.
