THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

QfeRED HOUSE M YS T E RYjgßMr 4

The prospective visit of a no-er-do-well brother, who had been absent for fifteen year, In Australia, was a far from pleasing prospect to MARK ABLETT. bachelor proprietor of The Red House. Mark and his constant companion, MATT CAYLEY, remained in The Red House waiting the arrival of the brother, ROBERT, while the house-party guests were away playing golf. When Robert appeared, the parlor-mald startled by his rough appearance, ushered him Into Mark's office and went to inform her master. Mark was not in the garden and when the maid returned to the house she heard the report of a revolver aid then the sound of Cayley pounding on the locked office door and demanding admittance. This was the state of affairs when ANTONY GILLINGHAM, a youthful gentleman adventurer, arrived. CHAPTER 111. Cayley looked around suddenly at the voice. “Can I help?" said Antony politely. “Something’s happened,” said Cayley. He was breathing quickly. “I heard a shot. I was in the libraryA loud bang. And the door's locked." shook it. "Open the door!” he cried. “I say, Mark, what is it? Open the door!" Cayley turned to the door again. “We must break it in,” he said, putting his shoulder to it. “Isn’t there a window?”

“Window? Window?” “So much) easier to break in a window,” said Antony with a smile. He looked very cool and collected, as he stood just inside the hall, leaning on his stick. “Window—of counsel What an Idiot I am.” He pushed past Antony and began running out into the drive. Antony followed him. They ran along the front of the house, down a path to the left and then to the left again over the grass. Cayley in front, the other close behind him. Suddenly Cayley looked over his shoulder and pulled up short. “Here,” he said. They had come to the windows of the locked room, French windows which opened on to the lawns at the back of the house. But now they were closed. Antony couldn’t help feeling a thrill of excitement as he followed Cayley's example and put his face close up to the glass. But if there had been one shot, why should there not be two more?—at the careless foo's who were pressing their noses against the panes, and asking for it. “My God. can you see it?” said Cayley in a shaking voice.

The next moment Antony saw It. A man was lying on the floor at the far end of the room, his back toward them. "Thank God!” he murmured, and let the body go again. "Who is it?*’ said Antony. “Robert Ablett.” “Oh!” said Antony. “I thought his name was Mark." “Was Mark in the room too?” “Yes,” said Cayley absently. Antony had gone to the locked door, and was turning the handle. “I suppose he put the key In his pocket,” he said, as he came back to the body again. “Who?" Antony shrugged hi* shoulders. “Whoever did this,” he said, pointing to the man on the floor. “Is he dead?” “Help me,” said Cayley simply. They turned the body on to its back, nerving themselves to look at it. Robert Ablett had been shot between the eyes. “Did you know him well?” said Antony quietly. “Hardly at all. Mark is the brother t know best. There was another door opposite to the locked one, which led, as Antony was to discover for himself directly, into a passage from which opened two more rooms. Cayley stepped into the passage and opened the door on the right. The door from the office, through which he had gone, remained open. The door at the end of the short passage was shut. Antony. kneeling by the body, followed Cayley with his eyes, and, after he had disappeared, kept his eyes on the blank wall of the passage, but he was not conscious of that at which he was

looking, for his mind was with the other man, sympathizing with him. Cayley came into the room again, murmured something, and knelt down to bathe the dead man’s face. “If I can be of any help to you,” said Antony, “please let me.” “That’s very kind of you. There will bo things to do. But you mustn’t let me trespass on your kindness.” “I came to see Beverley. He Is an old friend of mine.” “He's out playing golf. He will be back directly.” “I will stay if I can be of any help.” “Please <to. You see, there are women.” He hesitated, and gave Antony a timid little smile, pathetic in so big and self-reliant, pathetic in so big and self-reliant a man, “Just your moral support, you know.” “Os course.” Antony smiled back at him, and said cheerfully, “Well, then, I’ll begin by suggesting that you should ring up the police.” “The police? Y—yes.” He looked doubtfully at the other. “I suppose—” Antony spoke frankly. “Now, look here, Mr—er—” "Cayley. I’m Mark Ablett's cousin. I live with him.” “My name’s Gillingham. I’m sorry. I ought to have told you before. Well now, Mr. Cayley, we shan’t do any good by pretending. Here’s a man been shot —well, somebody shot him.” Cayley shrugged his shoulders and went to the telephone. “May I —ef—look round a bit?” Antony nodded toward the open door. “Oh, do. Yes.” He sat down and drew the telephone toward him. “You must make allowances for me, Mr. Gillingham. Os course, you’re quite

right, and I’m merely being stupid.” He took off the receiver. Antony wandered into the bedroom. The window was open, and he looked out at the peaceful stretch of park. “Cayley thinks he did it,” said An tony to himself. "That’s obvious. It explains why he wasted so much time banging on the door. Why should he try to break a lock when it’s so much easier to break a window? Os course, he might just have lost his head; on the other hand, he might have wanted to give his cousin a chance of getting away. Why did we run all the way round the house in order to get to the windows?” There was a’step in the passage outside, and he turned round, to see Cay ley in the doorway. He remained looking at him for a moment, asking himself a question. It was rather a curious question. He was asking himself why the door was open. Well, not exactly why the door was open; that could be explained easily enough. But why had he expected the door to be shut. He did not re member shutting it, but somehow he was surprised to see it open now, to see Cayley through the doorway, just, coming into the room. Something working sub-consciously in his brain had told him that it was surprising. Why? Cayley Joined him at the window. ”I’ve telephoned,” he said. “They’re sending an inspector or someone from Middleston, and the local police and doctor from Stanton.” Cayley looked at him thoughtfully. .“It seems to me, Mr. G,ll:ngham. that you know the house pretty well, considering that this is the first time you’ve been to it.” (To be Continued.)
