"Oh, all right.,Well, I'll see you to- morrow." The medical man nodded and re- treated, closed the door softly behind him and walked swiftly and quietly to the head of the stairs. "The old devil!" he was thinking, "'Something behind all this, and he wants to keep it dark." At the end of ten minutes the police followed a flustered maid up to the door, knocked, and were bidden enter by a voice which sounded re- assuringly strong. . They entered gingerly. "W'ell," said the man in bed. "I know what you want, but don't keep me talking too long.,. .. Yes', it hap- pened just outside y gate, in the darkness of the lane. There's a lamp not more than fifty yards away, but the lane bends just there and you get all the shadow. "He was a man of medium height dressed' in dark clothes.

That's all I can tell you." So the police eventually departed, taking their private suspicions along with them. Mrs. Franklin entered the room, moaning sympathetically.

"Got your revolver with you? "Good! One little weight off my mind. What have you done with your gun?" "Threw it in the canal," "Foolish of you.

Cobham jerked up his head and looked straight. "Miss Kennard," he said. "Yes? The Miss Monnard at the office'? Well?" "I want to marry her," "Yes. That's reasonable enough. A. very pleasant and nice -looking girl. But didn't it occur to you that you couldn't marry her after you'd been hanged for murdering me? And why should my decease be necessary to your domestic happiness?" "You know -very "But my dear young fool, I don't." "Trying to get her—to come here —at night—and your wife away—" The gran in the bed began to laugh softly. "Oh, Lord! I beg your pardon. Now let us try to regard this matter quietly, and without the merriment which perhaps it deserves. There is a lot of extra work to be done. Sup- pose I had wanted to keep her late at the office, as I have done before, we should have been alone altogether. Here there are three female ser- vants. My cook—you have seen her, I think-'is,a devout and very proper woman and a stickler for propriety. However hard a case I may be, I can assure you that I am not so tough that I could make love with that woman`s ear on the other side of the keyhole, "No, it occurred to mo that things would be more comfortable—and to some extent more proper -- if Miss Monnard came here for a couple of hours after dinner. What do you think yourself?" - "She likes you. She owned to me she did." "My lad, you flatter me. Observe• the swelling on my head. And yet 7 can sympathize with you where thousands wouldn't. Tell me now, did you in your pursuit of culture strike the tag, 'Et ego in Arcadia viii'?" "No, I learned a bit of French. No Latin," "Well, it means roughly, "I' also have been a young idiot." It also Means, 'I, too, have been in love.' These are free trans'la,tions and they amount .to very much the same thing. The best thing you can do is to mar- ry hee at once.

Three minutes later she was calling to him from half -way up the stairs. He answered, put one arm into a dress- ing-govdn, and made his way ginger- ly down into the hall, "Hullo, Prancing! That you?
