CHAPTER XIX The sheriff almost snatched the ph.-Uograph from Mark’s hands. As he bent his head over it, there was (i queer conflict of emotions apparent in his face. His first reaction was one of triumph. As he looked more closely, his mouth drooped and he frowned with disappointment. Thon he nodded to himself and looked more cheerful. “Who took it?” he asked. “I did.” Loren said. “I did it with , my little camera.” . “And you saw this gardener and didn’t tell anybody about it?” : "I didn’t know the gardener was : in the picture until Mark pointed it Mt to me a minute ago.” “I don’t see how you overlooked him. He’s right there in front of your eyes.” “The camera finder is about half an inch by three-quarters.” Loren pointed out. “It’s no wonder I didn't sec him when I looked in it” "Didn’t you look at the cottage after you took the picture?" “No. I snapped the picture and then turned around and walked into the woods by the lake.” “What were you doing there?” Finn asked. “He was waiting there for me,” Sue said. Finn grinned at her. "I admire his taste,” he said. He looked at the photograph again. “If we get this enlarged, we might have something,” he said. “Where’s the film?” Mark handed it to him. “I’d like to keep these, if you don’t mind, Mr. Ruxton.” the sheriff said. “You’re welcome to them.” Loren replied. “I hope they help you. but I don’t think an enlargement will.” Finn grinned as he put them in his pocket. “I don’t know,” he said. “They may help a lot.” He left, and presently James Ruxton and his nephew went too. I was about to follow when Dr. Calvert arrived. He nod-led curtly to all of us and his eyes brightened as he looked at Sue. She smiled at him and for a moment a faint reflection of that smile lit his severe face. “What do you think of the boy detective now?” Mark crowed. ’Why, I'm practically Finn’s rightaand man.” “You’re clever, Mark,” the doctor replied, “but you don't need me to tell you.” “Have you heard about the photograph Loren took, doctor?” Sue asked eagerly. i At the mention of Loren’s name i the doctor’s jaw tightened. “Yes.” he said. “I’ve just been I conferring with the sheriff.” “You have?” Mark said. “Then i maybe you can tell me why he’s looking so pleased with himself. I -oppose he’s found a gardener who , hasn't an alibi, hasn’t he?” The doctor looked startled. "How did you know that. Mark?” he asked. “Oh. Bob always brings me all ; the gossip.” Mark said. “There’s I a rumor to that effect going around, . and it was quite easy to see that the sheriff thinks everything’s going nicely.” “Well, that’s it,” Calvert answered. "He’s got one of the gardeners, a poor devil named Joe Barker, who can't prove where he was during rest period, and he’s trying to force a confession from him.” "Is that the one who had the quarrel with Vail?” I asked. Dr. Calvert nodded. "Yes. and he took Felipa to the movies once. That seemed to be proof enough for Finn.” He began to pace the floor, his fists in his coat pockets. “If Joe was working out there.” Mark said, waving his hand toward the door that opened on the porch. “I can give him an alibi.” “He wasn't It was two other gardeners.” “Well, at least I could clear them. I was awake all during rest period, and thev were both working outside on the lawn there the whole time.”

|cial lu the Philippine islands. SOCIETY PROGRAM PRESENTED AT MISSIONARY MEETING The Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the Monroe Methodiat church met Wednesday afternoon at the home ot Mrs. Allvert Duel. Twenty one members ami one visitor were present. The meeting was opened with gong, and Mrs. John Floyd read a portion of the Scriptures. Sentence ■ prayers were offered. Mra. Otto I i Longenlferger gave a stewardship | | talk. Following the business session a program wag presented. The reading, “God's Pay” was given by Mrs. ' John Crist, and the story, ’’Reas-

“The sheriff will be glad to hear that,” Calvert said gloomily. "Where was Barker?” I asked. “He says he was at Walnut Cottage, the second one from Lakeside. No one saw him. of course. How could anyone be expected to see him during rest period, when everybody’s in bed?” “Is Barker under arrest?” Mark asked quietly. “No, said the doctor. He looked at us belligerently. “He won’t be either, if I can help it, until Finn get* more proof than he has now.” “If Finn could get him in town and sweat him, he might get a confession,” Mark said. “Yes,” Calvert answered angrily, “that’s just what he’s counting on! I

“He's got one of the gardeners, a poor devil named Joe Barker, who can’t prove where he was during rest period.”

Well, there’s not going to be any third-degree as long as I have any authority here!” “I see," Mark said, as though to himself. “Finn wants a conviction. The business office warts the case cleared up and hushed up. Barker would do very nicely for everyone.” The doctor’s shoulders straightened. “There are some of us who are interested in convicting the right man,” he said quietly. He looked almost handsome as he said that, standing defiantly with his head thrown back and his muscles flexed as though he were bracing himself for an attack. I looked at Sue. There was admiration in her eyes as she watched him. She asked, “But if it wasn’t a gardener, who was it?” “1 don’t know,” Dr. Calvert said. “I'm not sure it wasn't one of the gardeners, and as two are accounted for, that leaves only Joe. But I’m not going to see him beaten into confessing.” “The sheriff isn’t even considering the possibility that the murderer might have disguised himself as a gardener, I suppose,” Mark said. The doctor turned sharply and looked at him. “No. he isn’t. I hadn’t even considered it myself.” "I'm afraid the sheriff will be very hard to convince on that point." Mark said “Do you seriously think that’s possible. Mr. Hfllyer?” Sue asked. Mark drew a design on his sheet with ilis finger. "It seems »o me " he said, “that

Porter, Mrs. O*'*r LanCienau ami Mrs. Herman E.hinger attended the invitational golf tourney held at the Orchard Ridge Country Club in Fort Wayne, Wednesday. Approximately one hundred woI men competed in the tourney. A : luncheon was served at the dub house at noon. Arrangements were made for the invitational golf tourney to be held al the Elk's Country Club in Fort Wayne next Tuesday.

anything’s possuue in this cas*. Anything." He turned to Calvert. "Where are the overalls now?” "They’re being examined tn ths laboratory.” "Could you get a look at them?" "I think so.” “Employees' clothes are washed at the sanatorium laundry, aren't they?” Mark asked. “Yes, I think so.” “Why don’t you check up on the laundry mark and find out if the overalls belong to Barker? And tell the sheriff, whea you have an opportunity, that I can vouch for the innocence of the other two gardener*. I’d like to see bim again." “I certainly shall,” the doctor answered. “I’d better go back now

and see that they don’t take Joe away when I’m not watching.” I left Mark’s room that afternoon more mystified than I had been after talking to him in the morning. He had made me suspect both John Calvert and Loren Ruxton, yet both had now given what seemed to me good proof of their innocence. Suspicion is such a hardy emotion that my doubts of the two men remained, yet it was impossible to reconcile those doubts with what I had just seen. The case against John Calvert seemed to me decidedly the weaker of thp two. Willis Clendening had seen, or imagined that he had seen, some sort of paper or note on the table in Felipa’s room. It had disappeared, and if such a paper had existed, no one had a better opportunity to take it than Dr. Calvert himself. It seemed to me impossible, however, that the physician would have taken it unless it implicated him. Yet now he was fighting to save a man whom he believed to be innocent. I had felt a warm admiration for him when he told us about his refusal to turn the gardener over to the sheriff, and it was difficult for me to believe that a man guilty of murder would not have welcomed a false accusation against another. It occurred to me that the note might have incriminated some one whom he wished to protect, but not at the cost of an innocent man’s life. I decided to speak to Mark about that next morning.
