she haa umo ever since 1 entered her room. My own story wa* even briefer. I had visited in the big living room with Misa Gregg until K—the hour when she left to see her brother. Then I had croascd to my bungalow, read for an hour or so, heard the sound of backfire and s motor running, the wind and rain—that was all. “Could you sis the hour of any of these sounds?" the sheriff asked me and I took down his question and my own an»wer. "No. 1 did not look at my watch." Is»u, a lighter brown than before from fright, and the cook and housemaid (who were man and wife) next. They had even less to contribute. After their work was over they had gone to their quar-

ters —they had rooms above the garagte—had heard Misa Gregg’s car drive out and, about 9, had heard it drive in again. All agreed no dogs had barked. They had not h< ird the sound of the backfire n>r had any other noises aroused them in the night. Kobe's examination yielded more of value. The neat little chap "as shaking still from his dreadful discovery of the early morning and Allen handled him cor. :• r.»ti‘ . 1 thought.

All is quiet—so Igo to bed” Noises of motora speeding up the hill road, •creeching of brakes i pulled to a sudden stop on the gravel slope before the garage, and sound of rapid feet running across the patio broke in on Kobe's words. 1 My eyes were fixed on my nobtawk I •nd so I did not see who it was that * grossed the eourt—but almost immediately afterward there was • quick knock on the sitting room door. Dr. Henry opened it and I.ance Gregg strode into the room. He nodded to the sheriff and the doctor and in three long steps was •cross the room with his »rm» around Martha. Neither spoke. She bent her head against his breast and he patted her shoulder

In wordless consolation. So they stood for a minute or two and the room was again so silent that the i ticking of the clock on the mantle | became a loud noise, and the distant I beating of the surf came like muted i drums through the open windows. Lan << broke the silence first. "I , am very sorry I interrupted you . gentlemen. Ph ase go ahead with what you were saying when I broke I in on you." But before Allen eould frame ’he next question for the still frightcried Kobe, another knock, this time soft and measured, sounded st th‘ door and again the doctor opened it. This time it was Harry Craver. Craven was completely sclf-pos--1 se«ed. a little too ■elf 1 r< member thinking at the time, for ' leari the v.olent death of his - employer.
