- ' —y“DEAD—WHY—HOW?” John Bartley, noted criminal Investigator. recently returned from Secret Service work during the war. Is asked by the governor of New York to Investigate a mysterious attempted robbery of the - Robert Slyke home at Circle Lake, near Saratoga, and to establish the guilt or Innocence of two men in the penitentiary for the crime. A miscarriage of justice is suspected. Bartley find,s It* it the restaging of an old case, is interested and agrees to solve the mystery. With his friend. Felt, a newspaper man. Bartley goes to Circle Lake, the pair becoming the guests of Bob Currie, an old friend. The three visit the Slyke home. Slyke rei sents Bartley's com.ng. saying he Is satisfied the two men in prison •< are guilty. Be-tley is not. Next morning Slyke is found dead in bed. apparently having shot h;m- --; self. Miss rotter, the dead man a sister-in-law, the village police chief, Roche, and the family physician, Doctor King, all agree Slyke I killed himself but Bartley insists he was murdered, investigating. Bartley finds evidence that Slyke. after a card party he had given, !' was shot on the tower ot the house. undressed, and placed In bed. Dur-, I Ing hts absence from the room someone removes the revolver from Slyke's hand. A boy working in the garage asserts heard a shot during the night, apparently "in the air.” of course really on the tower. ■ ■ -J CHAPTER IV—Continued. 1 scanned the two cards he gave do and then those on the table. The jack was an ordinary one. such as is iold for a dollar. Not only the <’.etigM on the backs were the same, but ! tie texture of the cardboard* ns well. ”l'o you realize what that shows?” ’ Asked Bartley. "That the cards we found In the tower are from the pack on this table." i '"“Yes’ They may have been dropped up there by the murderer, or they may have been placed there to make os believe that someone In the poker party had committed the crime." “Why couldn’t It have been done.”; I suggested, “by someone in the j party?" He was thoughtful for a second or two, then slowly «b.o’>>k his head. “Os course. It might have been, but I think that the odds are against It. This is no ordinary crime, though some one wanted ns to think it was « commonplace suicide. The criminal was i afraid, however, that we might discover It to be nrnnlor and prepared for that emergency." i “How do you make'that out?" 1 asked. astonished. “An ordinary Criminal" — Bartley spoke so softly that Miss Potter could not hear—“would never have taken | all the trouble Involved in undressing Slyke and placing him in bed. That was intended to give the idea of suicide; but. as the murderer knew there was a chance of soh.h one suspecting that it was murder, he took the cards from the table and placed them where we could lino thei”. He knew that the finding of cards tn the tower would throw suspicion upon everyone present at the game. It Is to me only an additional link in evidence that proves It was not suicide.” Hoche returned, bringing with him the butler, three nomen and a b >y. None of them could give us any in formation of value. Bartley soon dismissed them. j After they had gone. Bartley turned to the boy who, from the excited way be was wrlggHng. evidently wanted to say something. It entne out with I un eagenie.-s that was almost laughable. “I heard a gun last night,” he cried. “You did?" asked Bartley, ‘startled for a second. j The boy no<lded eagerly. “Yea, slr. Last night, sir." Bartley placed his hand on tha Loys sLoulder. “Where were you I when yoa heard the shot? What time was It?" “Well, air,” the boy began, “you see, I work out In the garage, wash the I cars and such things. I sleep’ over It and eat In the kitchen. Last night, you know, we had the big car out to I take, some of the gentlemen home that; were at the card party. When the chauffeur got back 1 washed the car.” The chauffeur? We stared inquiringly ut each other, and Bartley said sharply to Roche, “Where is he?” Roche looked confused and shamefkced. then harried from the room, and Bartley resumed bls examination of the boy. “You said yon were washing the car. What then*” “Ye*, sir. I was washing the ear. It was after twelve o’clock and It took some thne. Then I smoked a s cigar a man bad given me and went to bed. Just after I crawled in. about i half-pas? euc, 1 guess, I heard a shot. ' Not very Hud. but It was a shot, all j right.” I "Where did It seem to come from?” Bartley asked. The boy scratched his head for a moment and looked a bit foolish as I be replied, “It's funny, but It seemed ' to be up In the air near the house.” Bartley throw me a qulek glance. This fitted in with his theory that Slyk« had been killed on the baletmy of the tower. Iz* that theory was right ud ibe shot that the boy had heard was the one that had killed Slyke, he would naturally think that the sound eame from the air. I wondered If the boy cod’d tell us anything else •f value. “Did you get out of bed to see if you could discover where the shot came fromF -No, sir, I did not; but. If I bad known that Mr. Slyke had killed hlmarlf, you bet your life I would.” From his answer I lodged that the •errant* did not yet know that their employer hed been murdered. At leaet, this boy did not know. He had told <u all be knew about the ertinCuud

was soon sent from the room. Only Miss Potter and the butler now remained to be examined. Roche returned. looking more shamefaced than ever. “I’m sorry, Mr. Bartley, but I .can’t find him. No one has seen the chauffeur, and he doesn't seem to be anywhere about the place.” Bnrtley accepted hi* statement with a shrug of disappointment, and turned his attention to the butler. He was a man of about fifty-five, tall, with a rather thin face of the unemotional kind commoh to butlera. Though he .efused to meet Bartley’s eyes, he did not seem to be in the least nervous. WhaF had taken place thM night he evidently accepted as something he could not help and need not worry over. Bartley asked him first shout the men that were at the card party. To my surprise the butler said he was unable to give the najnes of all the i men. though he knew most of them. Bartley took down in a little red ! notebook the names of such men as Ihe could remember. Then he asked | suddenly, “And what was the name jof the man that stayed after the j others left?” The question seemed to surprise the j butler, but he answered, “Mr. Law- : pence, sir. the lawyer from Saratoga, j Mr. Slyke asked him himself to remain after the others had gone. He went with him up to Mr. Slyke's room and stayed there a few moments. I myself waited here in a chair to let him out and lock up. 1 did not have to wait long; not more than ten minutes or so.” Bartley glanced at the stairs. “Did. Mr. S U;<' come dwn with Mr. Lav.fence?” he asked. “No. sir. I never saw Mr. Slyke again.” He paused, then added slowly, “That is. alive.” "And you did not hear the revolver shot, the one the boy heard?" “No. sir, I did not." I felt that he was carefully choosing 1:1s words and was not giving any more Information than'he had to. I w She Was a Handsome Girl, With Beautiful Red Hair and the Creamy White Skin That Goes With It. wondered what it was that he was holding back. Bartley’s next question and the answer that it brought proved that I was right. “Did you kee or hear anything last ulgiit <at <>f 'lie way?” • « The butki was so hng in answering that the question had to be asked a second time. We were getting Impatient before he said, “I heard nothing s ispleh.us. but I saw —" 1 He paused, and Bartley urged. “You saw what?” The butler glanced irom Bartley to the woman In the chair. Miss Potter ' was looking at him with a curious ex- ; pression on her face, one not of fear but of wonder, as if she were curious to know whut his statement meant. After glancing at her, he turned to Bartley and said apologetically, “Why. sir. I don’t know If what 1 saw was anything out of the way. I would not have thought of it again if Mr. Slyke had not been found dead. When I got to bed, I began to wonder If I had locked the windows. We were rather fussy ulhmH them since the robbery. The more I thought of II the less sure I was; so I got up and was starting to go down into the living room when I saw Miss Ruth, dressed in a long coat, going into her room." Miss Porter gasped and asked the butler In great astonishment. “Bat. Robert, how can you say that I You know Miss Ruth was not at home last

evening. She spent the night at Saratoga. She ha* not returned yet” For a second no one spoke. Bartley’* eyes went from the butler to the woman and back again. We all wondered what his next question would be, but we never found out. Suddenly, from above us, a girlish voice called, “Who is talking about me?" Astonished, we all turned and looked in the direction from whim th,? voice had come. On the top c.F the stairway a young girl of nineteen years stood looking down at us. For several seconds Miss Potter seemed unable to believe her eyes, then she half gasped, “Why, Ruth —i” The girl, surprised at the effect her simple question had made, clutched her blue silk dressing gown closer about her and started down the stair*. It was plain that she had just gotten out of bed and had not yet had time to dress. Her eyes went from one person to another questioningly. Who were we, and what were we doing here? As she came slowly down the steps we watched her In silence. She was a handsome girl with beautiful red hair and the creamy white skin that goes with it. When she reached her aunt's side. Miss Potter was still too astonished to speak and the girl gave Roche an appealing look. She was beginning to realize that something was wrong. “Have the burglars been her* again?" she asked. Not trusting herself to speak. Mis* Potter shook her head. The girl knew nothing of the tragedy that had taken place, evidently, or she would not have been so carefree. She waited, and as her aunt did not seem able to tell her what had happened she turned again to Roche. After swallowing hard for a moment or two the chief stammered out. "Why, Miss Ruth, you see. we —that is—well, Mr. Slyke has been killed." The laughing look in her eyes faded and one of surprise, blended with horror, took its place. For a second. that to me seemed an hour, she waited, steadying herself by her hand on the table. Then she asked slowly, almost spelling out each word, “De-ad —de:', d —why—how ?” Again a silence. No one wanted to tell her what had taken place. Her i eyes sought each one of us in turn ' and then rested on Bartley, as if sr.e recognized that lie was in charge. A glance passed between the two, then he told her what we had found. Though the girl\had been startled, I noticed that she was not overwhelmed with grief. Neither had the older woman been. In fact we had yet to hear any word of regret that Slyke was dead. That the girl's astonishment at Bartley's story had been genuine there was no doubt; still the butler’s assertion that he had seen her go into her room when she was supposed to have been away from the house had to he explained. Her unexpected presence here this morning j . seemed to add color to his statement. ; A glance at her dressing gown with ; her nightdress peeping heneatn it showed that she had just come from ■ her bed. Yet her aunt’s surprise at , her appearance had also seemed genu- ; ine. “Your aunt told us.” Bartlev said j to her. “that you were away, spending . tlie night with a friend: but tye butler says he saw you early this morning going into your own room " The girl flushed, as if she realized the gravity of her position, e.nd sank into a chair before she answered, “1 did Intend to spend the night with » friend in Saratoga. *>n our way home from a dunce at the lake one machine lost a tire and it took so long to replace it that, as we were near the house I_jiecided to come Lome. Not wishing to go through the woods alone *ut that hour, 1 got Uncle Richard to come with me." Seeing that we were puzxled by the mention of her unde, she explained that he was really a cousin of her stepfather whom she called uncle. He was a retired clergyman whej, during the summer, lived on the estate in little cottage facing the main road near the entrance to the driveway ta the house. When asked If her uncle had come in(o the house with her she replied that he had not; that he had only , waited long enough for her to unlock the front door. She herself bad gone directly to her own room, passing the door of her stepfather’s room, which had been closed. She bad seen not one and heard nothing. She had slept until our voices had awakened i her. “He asked me if I wanted to buy some Scotch whisky." (TO BE CONTINUED.)

What is more, and what makes a better excuse yet for my ignorance and lack of intelligence is the fact that 1 am about in the summer time when no one is in scMool and when no one talks so very much about what is correct and what is not correct. “At least they don’t talk that way before me. I hear speeches such as these: •“Um-um, this soda is good.’ “ ‘My, but I was thirsty.' “ ‘Yes, this will cool me off. I wa» so hot.’ “ ‘Oh, this is good. This touches the right spot.’ “That last speech I hear very, very often. Everyone seems to have a right spot to be touched. "Then I hear them say, ‘Oh, let me treat this time. You treated last time.’ ' “‘Let it be a Dutch treat.’ “ ‘All right. Let’s not argue. I’m too warm. I can only think of the soda I I’m going to have.’ “So they talk.
