It was quite true that se far as was known he had never been engag- ed to investigate a lease which he had failed to solve and that the side which secured hiseervices in a trial had invariably received a favorable verdict. • "I believe doctor, that you have been popularly referred to as `The Man Who Makes No Mistakes'?" "Oh, nay dear Mr. Graham!" Dr. Cavanaugh protested amiably. "We must concede a good deal to popular exaggeration. Perhaps"—he took the jnty into.•his confidence with a deprecating smile—"It is only that my mistakes have never found me out!" Graham, beaming like an Manes - eerie whose star performer is cap- turing the audience, waved the poink aside. it as an opportunity full of interest. "You are acquainted with the de- fendant, David Orme?" (To bo continued.) CHAPTER :liLIV—'(Cont'd.) "Oh, yes, wandering around. And your wanderings, I take it, were con- ducted by automobile?" questioned the district attorney. "I have never had a car," replied Orme. "Yet you made the public automo- bile camp your headquarters. Can you explain that discrepancy?" "Some one must have given xne a lift on the highway ds far as the auto camp, Then, when I was there, I stayed. I had no money, you see." "Quite so, no money. And having thus belatedly discovered your wife's marriage to a rich ntan, you doubt- less saw an oportunity to recoup your finances by threatening to make the illegality of her marriage known."

After the emotional stress of the morning session, the 'quiet urbanity Of Dr. Cavanaugh, as he settled hint - self comfortably in the witness chair restored an atmosphere of normality to the tense courtroom. Dr. Cavanaugh was very much at ease and completely at home, and he showed it. He distinctly conveyed the impression that murder trials were no treat to him. He took the oath with the careless nonchalance of a caller nreeenting himself to a familiar hostess, and awaited devel- opments with a manner that subtly combined a willingness to be helpful with a patient acceptance of incon- venience to himself -in thus being in- terrupted. Graham had regained something of his former optimism. "Will you tell the jury, ;Meter, something of your professional car- eer?" "I was graduated front the Har- vard medical school, and after my in- terneshin was for several years on the staff of .Graham hospital for nor - mous and mental diseases. I then spent four years in study abroad. 3 was a aneniber of the Viennese Psy- ehoanalytie Society which met with Dr. Sigmund Freud 'of Vienna in the first study of psycliolonalysis. I also spent a year with Dr. Jurgg in Zur- ich." "Of course not! Anci yet your earn- ings as a sandpaper artist could scarcely have supported your menage during the period of your married life." Graham hall rise to object thought better of it, and rotapted into his treat. "I did not think of money then one 'way or another. I -did not dream that she thought of it either. I loved het." "So you have told us. And yet you made no effort to keep its touch with her affairs --affairs which were rath- er widely pnbli hed•—until three days before her death?" "I have told you that I slid not kurw of her marriage to 'Ellsworth" "And having had your little chat with the lady you left her on a street cornet•.—having made n:t attempt t't follow up the steps conveyed in your letter to her—and fled back to the ante camp, where you concealed your- self under the assumed name of MA - IO Osgood?"
