Whether it was a half -memory of it

to make herself comfortable in our
presence, I did not know.

His next question seemed to nut: c..
be getting semew tat nearer the point
although it was the very one that
made: Ashton drop back in his chair
with that gesture of ;impatience.
"Are your parents living, Jane.”
"No sir, Neither of them."
"Have you lived in this country
long?"
"Five or six years, sir,"
"You're from New Zealand, or Aus
trdl1a, aren't
you?
T
aUr

lish?" -
F g

That question made Ashton sit up
at any rate, that anal, the girl's' answer
to it.
"Wellington, New Zealand,' sir. But
how did you know?"
The answer had come instantly, but
the nekt moment, with eyes perplexed
and with a vague gesture of her hands
across them, she said:
"It's queer. It semis as if I had
dneanned of talking to you about that"
"You knew, didn't you, Jane, that
this Morgan who was murdered was a
New Zealander? Oh, New Zealand has
produced some great men. You're
young, and I suppose you don't re-
member, perhaps leave never heard of
Bully Franklin and Josiah Haines.
Old Morgan knew about them, though
I'll wager." He stood for a minute
in silence, like one who tastes, in
reminiscence, the flavor of an old
story.
Then he pulled himself together and
began asking the girl a series of rapid
and, to me, rather meaningless ques-
tions. They were chiefly about Will
Harvey, her acquaintance with hinx,
how long ago it had begun, and, in a
general way, to what length of in-
timacy it had gone The girl answer-
ed all these questions freely enough
and with no appearance of hesitation.
"You knew he lived at Oak Ridge,
didn't you," the doctor asked finally.
"only two or three: blocks from the
house where Morgan was murdered?"
"You don't think. he had anythin'
to do with the murder, do you?" she
asked. And then she laughed a little.
"He wouldn't do nothin' of that kind,
sir. He's just a silly."
"I'm inclined to think Perkins," the
doctor commented, "that that's a good
diagnosis. I don't believe Will Har-
