Later Ernest and Dr. Long see a prowling;creature in the hall of Southley Downs. This rightens the elder Hayward, who al- so sees it. Ernest begins to feel that Ahinad Das is perpetrating some de- viltry. }le examined the cuffs of the silk- en shirt that'Hayward wore. "it's his cuff, too," he said shortly.

"It's a queer case," he told tt5 then. "I don't know of any like it. As; you say, he must have used somnething as heavy as a sledge-heanther, and yet not hard like,a sledge -hammier.

One of the oldest prisons in Eng- land. is to be found at Wheatley, near amid Oxford. It is shaped like. a pyramid, with a, stone floor, has no windows or other means of ventilation than cracks in the stones, and the door is a network of bolts. and padlocks. It was built originally to prevent sympathizers with highwaymen from rescuing them after they had been caught holding up eoacbes, and since then has several times saved otileers of the law from a mauling at the hands of an angry mob. "We do not use It for criminals to- day," said the local policeman. "Not that it is not strong enough, but there might be complaints if we did. You see, the village •uses it as a tool- shedi Hampering Hawkers. l-lta.wkers and canvassers in Eta. land 'seem destined to have a lean. time, A Dutchwoman has invented a means of making these and other on» welcome visitors either pay for the disturbance they cause or leave the house well alone.

"You went over Soon after this the body was tarried down to the boat.... . n Mr. Southley's duck canoe." The explanation drew a long and detailed explanation. The motor craft r seemed,- had been procured by the coroner, and was to be used to con- vey the body. The duck canoe was r'ot large enough to bring any sup- plies, so Air. Southley had ordered Sam to procure a 1afge, well -made row -boat to go back and forth in. At first' he had despaired of finding any, until the old man who had steered, on the way back to the house encoun- tered hiireend offered his own boat and services for hire. He was a quaint old character that lived by the river at the edge of the city, and he had, heard of Sam's inquiries. But he in- sisted that he be carried along to ban- lle his own boat. The reason was ra- ther obvious. The oid man was evi- dently in need of the few extra dol - lags that his own Cervices %vaalid bring. "And what's the old fellow e rename?"

Besides, there was no further reason for Inc to stay. Al- exander Pierce had failed to come. I had just been a guest, a spectator, front the first, and Josephine had seen, to it that I had been no more. The renouncement in ,the den the evening before had' told that all too plainly. I couldn't deny to myself how much I would have liked to stay to see the affair to its end, perhaps to behold the curse lifted from the old manors' hoose, and to watch the shadows de- part from those sad eyes. Never be- fore had the thought of being of ser- vice been so dear to me. But the stand the girl had taken. in the den was, impossible to disregard. "I don't see why you can't . go, Long, if you want," the inspector said. "Yost were just a guest here— I)tatthough I will say you came at a: pro- pitious both of the i �i time—and besides,o lS l Southleys vouch for you.

"Unkind because 1. wish you happi- atess? eAt least I can do that -with propriety.: There has been enough between us that 1 ,can do that.,The walks' we httd—they will be very beau tiful to think' about.

When I looked at them they had moved to opposite sides of the group. His lean face was thoughtful. I gave '-sly bag to the engro, and ,started to step on the boat.

"My father . took the most deter- mined stand against him, insisting .on. an apology or else a departure froiii the house." f "And what right did he have to insist that any:of 'Elayward's' guests be told to go? What was his expla- aation. for this breach of hospitality? I'he doctor was Southley's guest, not your father's, Why did your father feel he had a right to insist, in the terms he did, that Southley expel the doctor from his house?" "I --don't believe I know." "Think a minute." Vilas' face darkened ever so slight - "I don't believe I care to have you. question the manners of my dead fa- ther." "It is a fair question." In 'spite of the. difference in their ages, Southley and my father were old friends. They were very free with each other in all things." "And; did your father say anything_ of an insulting naturae that the doc- tor might want to avenge?" "Tie called him a `pup,' I think,' as well as other things." "You say you went to bed at mid- night. When did you learn,of your father's murder?" "After the levet broke—when the others came back to the house and told me." "Tim'e sound of the breaking levee wakened you?" "Yes." Freeman called on me next. I told ny story, as far as it concerned the finding of the body. I corroborated atost of Vitas' testimony. "How much time were you alone after the scene' in the den and the ime of - the murder?" he'asked. "A few minutes after a midnight .valk with Ernest—between` a few ninutes before one o'clock and im- nediatcly after." ' "How did •yo&tt spend your time?"' "I was undressing for bed." "And then what did you do?" I told him of our stalk through he halls. He seemed particularly in- erested, but also somewhat scornful. "It. isn't the purpose of the State go. to chase down ghosts," he said. "I think the less thought and said about that matter the better. You all were th all down from: niy room I met Josephine in the hall. She started back at the 'sight of me. 1 couldn't read the -look that' leaped to her face, except thitt it was a hurt look, almost a look of pleading. It was a surprise' to me. Evidently she felt that she would miss whatever sup- port I had been in these last nights of trial. "You're. going, after alt," slid said. She didn't put it as a question.

It usually isn't worth the paper it's written on. I want to know if you had any time to yourself between the scene, in the deli and the murder." Of Course his reason for wanting to know was perfectly obvious. He wanted to see whether I could have. possibly had time to hire once of the n.egroes to ' murder the elder Hay- ward. He knew that I had not done the deed with any own hands, from the :fact that I had alrea .a i i dy est bits) c<t an alibi.
