Dr. Cavanaugh, criminal psycholo-, gist, identifies tr charred body former in the tale marsh as that of Sheila:} Barbara, his daugbtog, faints w'h she nears hint tell this to ''eterPip a Herald' reporter. " A Threatening note signed;"`David; Orme"" is ;found in the nnucdered:wo-. man's _ safe. Peter trails Orme and! arrests him. Peter sees Barbara destroy a jewelled conab . of .Sheila's' and when she refuses to talk lie real -1 nes she is protecting sorecm.e, At Orme's trial it is revealed that Orate; is Sheila's real huelhand: Dr. Oay-: anaugh, testifies that Ornre 'has been the vi lint of amnesia.

Peter ignored posse, waiting at the curb, and swung' down the street with long, uneven strides. He felt an imperative need of physical ac- tion to bring some sort of coherence to ;he wild idea which had flashed vercas his mind in Professor Gam. Woe's library. His pace lagged, at tithes stopping aitoyet:?et'. It was ineredible-in- c'edible even to himself! Then he pushed on rapidly, as if the whole amazing scheme would escape unless he could pursue end overtake it. Barbara was protecting someone- semeone whose claim upon her was. strong enough to bring that thin whiteness to iter cheeks, that desper- ate purpose to iter' eyes; a claim that not even murder could break, icer silence was not self-protection; he was sure of that; .Barbara had told him. that she had not killed Sheila O'Shay-and Barbara, could not lie. And it was not Ellsworth. She did not leve Ellsworth. Her sentiment for Ellsworth had never been love - not leve as Peter knew it, not the live tbat was a steady flame in Barbara's eyes when be had heist her in his arms in the little roots with the firelight, nor -when she sat beside her in the court room. Besides Ells- worth was not a cep.), calculating murderer. "Annelle all the things we don't knew about Sheila O'Shav's murder- er. we know that he -s art an orciin- at'y criminal," Cavanaugh had said that, "How ea'y it ie to feel mere, nermnl people." He had said that toe, Peter went back, step by step, ov- er the scenes in the court room. Cav- anaugh bad acquitiecl Orme-there was no doubt of it. nut why had he given Ile hint to Graham, nor to Peter himself, that he had known Orme prier to the murder? Peter, vrhn was acute enough, bad not the slightest suspicion of those curlier meetings. Perham Crrvan- a•tgh nod the right to withheld the i nrwleclge from Peter, nut Graham was Orme's lawyer. Graham. should have been told. Ansi. even' though he bad merely allowed Peter to deceive h!m elf, it was nevertheless a delib- erate deception -a deception with a motive. bl'ntives! `"Phe sh'ongest motive is likely to seem feeble to the other fellow." Yes, Cavanaugh 'had said thae. Ann yet -if he were' ovrom'gt He must be wrong --it was too bizarre. It wan beyond. :belief, almost beyond imagination. If he were wrong, he would show himself the world's most otter fall. If be were wrong, due. stood to lose Barbara --•site would never forgive hits.' And yet, deep dawn below She seething chaos in Peter's mind, that flash of light burned on. Reason, commonsense, credibility were all against it. Hut it burned on. And there was only' one way to find out. THE McKILLOP MUTUAL Fire Insurance Company, Head Office, Seaforth, Ont. President, J. Bennewies, Brodhag. err, vice-president, James Connelly, Goderich.

Who was 'he to pit his witsa p against the subtle, calculatin r mind that had g. ,framed' this murder'? It was Dav31 against. Goliath. Ile 'had only his lit - ('le stone' of troth to throw -if it was -the truth!

Davit} ;against lG�olia;th-bust -David, with his little stone of truth; had won. Dr. Cavanaugh opened thed'oor to Peter's aging, 'his hie fraise silhouett- ed against the'light. For the first time, Peter noted . that the square shoulders had. acquired" -a slight stoop. The flesh " hung upon his cheeks" in folds, deepening t'h�e lines of his face as if they had been mark- ed with a heavy pei,cil. It was not surprising that he should feel the effects of fatigue and overwork in a difficult and exacting case; Ant Peter's association with hiss had been so close that he 'had hitherto failed to observe the ,change. Ho felt now' that every sense, was eharrened, that his nerves reached c•nt like an atennae, responding to almost imperceptible stimuli. He was like a :atop feeling his way through the jungle, listening for the danrres' that larked in the rubbing of blades of .+grass, . watching fpr• the shifting of a shadow. Dr. Cavanaugh leaned forward to recognize 'the young man standing hatless in the gloom. Peter saw his fingers tighten cn the door keret. But his voice n'as genial. IIe greeted Peter as an unaccountable but airways welcome friend. "The ubiquitous Peter! I thought your labors were over by thin time. Butt come in!" The sincere heartiness of his tone rocked Peter back to sanity. But with that new alertness which nothing escaped, he saw that the ciocbor's eves were hard and impenetrable, like agates. "I've come to mull over the after- math of our curiett rnvsterl." To his surprise Peter heard his oevn voice speaking in easy and natural tones. He knew that his hands wet'e steady that his face betrayed. noth- ing of the tumult in his mind. He lighted a. cigarette. testing himself by holding the match until it almost burned his fingers. The they flame did act so touch ars quiver. "Is there an aftermath?" Dr. Cavanaugh settled hintself in the ebair behind the deck, waving Peter to an arm chair drawn close beside the student lamp. He glanced rielipuely at Peter es rhe selected a cigar from the box beside him. De- liberately he struck a match and held it, watching the point of flame creep closer until it almost burned his fingers. The flame did not waver, "You .saved Orate -single-handed. The papers are full of it. Yours the hears and the pewor and the glory. .In theatrical parlance, you ran away with the show, and landed another triumph for the man wlo makes no mistakes. Graham was simply no- where. And yet, I wonder -isn't it barely possible that that star per - romance was itself n mistake?" "Your aer'.ount really flatters tun unduly," The fleeter lifted a depre- cating heath - "Nit at all. •I've noticed your im- eeceable modesty, doctor, Yen never boast -you drove no meed to. it is an. admirable aetituile. But I'm still Ieit wondering." "Surely you don't think Orme was guilty?" "No." Peter said meditatively, "I don't think Orme wan guilty." "And you are hind enough to say that it was I who got 'him off?" "Yes', you got him off. And yet'lt roust be rather hard on you to realize that, far the first time, you have met your neaten. You set out to solve this ease' --and you have net solved it. Yon have Made your first fail- ure. The public has not caught the angle' of it yet -hut it will.
