Out of the Darkness

CHAPTER Vll—Continued. "You say," I Suggested, “that Slyke was killed about two o’clock in the morning. The girl might have come to the house and killed him; then gone back to her uncle's, and told the story about being afraid to go through • the woods alone. She said -It was three o'clock when he came with her to the house. That's a good alibi, of course; but suppose she had been to the house once before. The dog didn’t bark, because he knew her. She was also In the house when the revolver disappeared. If you claim the . taking of the gun was foolish, why can It not be said to be the kind of an Illogical thing a woman would do? ■ The average man would know it was ino use to remove the gun. You r '' member how startled the aunt was when she saw the girl." Hartley had listened with an amused , smile that grew broader as I talked. Though I had not been serious when 1 begun, the more I thought of the Idea the more plausible my suggestion ; sounded. Bartley himself had said that in the case we must build up a theory first, and then see if the facts would tit It. . When I had etfdwl. he said that he h!::i<elf had. at first, considered the j l>o- Pillty Os the girl s having done it. but had decided against it. He , reminded me that Slyke had been j killed on the balcony, and carried ; down two Hights of stairs, and that j Slyko weighed one hundred and fifty j pounds, the girl not a hundred. Ke- j HMSabertng that and the tusk It was I to carrv sii' ti a heavy weight dowp so many stairs, did 1 still think the girl could have done it? ’ My face turned red with chagrin, and. seeing that I was hurt, he smiled at me kindly and apologized. "I didn't Intend to hurt your feelings, Pelt. You are like ail newspaper men, you enjoy building up a story out of nothing, in this affair, we mustn’t let ourselves get sidetracked. We shall need all the clear thinking we can do.”Anxious to redeem myself, I said, •’John, we have been going on the theory that some one from outside came Into the house and killed Slyke, a mysterious visitor who arrived after) Lawrence had left. Perhaps the murderer was hiding in the house all the time.” He gave me an interested look and an approving nod. "Suppose,” I went on, "that the murderer was on the balcony. It was a good place to hide. It was so dark up there that he could not have been seen from the ground. Then let us assume that Slyke heard a sound above him, when he was In the room below the balcony, and went up to see what It was. The person may have made the sound on purpose to attract h!s attention. At any rate, when he does come out on the balcony, he is killed.“ ” Bartley did not speak for a while, turning my suggestion over in mind. Then he answered, "You may be right. It is possible that some one was waiting for him to come upstairs. Rut do not forget that, if that is so, the person would have* had to wait there for a long time; for he could not tell when Slyke would come Into the room belo* the balcony. still, your suggestion Is well worth keeping in mind." Although he spoke so favorably of j my Idea, I could see that he did not really agree with me. I yawned and Bartle; glanced at his watch. It was after three, nnd we should have been in bed several hours ago. He rose, and taking two objects from his pocket placed them on the desk. 1 leaned over to see what they were. Lying black and sinister on the dark mahogany surface were the revolver that had been taken from Slyke’s hand nnd hidden in the vault, and a little cork stopper. Its end covered with red wax that showed where a knife had been used on it. “Look,” Bartley said, pointing nt them with a laugh. “The sole result of a day’s work. The only clues we hare nre before us. tine Is a revolver that did not have a finger print on it; the other a little stopper that might have come from anywhere. From these we have to discover the murderer.” Again he laughed. I stood looking at the two objects, thinking how in significant they were and wishing they could speak and tell their story. Catching my mood, his face grew grave. He stood looking at them for * moment, then with a sudden gesture swept them Into a small box saying. 1 "We ought to have been in bed hours Mto." I had reached my room and was pulling down the bed covers when he called to me. I returned to his room > and found him sitting on the edge of his bed taking off his shoes. “I forgot to tell you, Pelt, that when we reach the solution of this murder, somehow or other whisky will be mixed up with It. When you told me that Slyke had been selling whisky to | his friends, I knew that something was wrong. The finding of the liquor tn his own vault makes me more* cer- « tain. He must have known that that t whisky was there. Why. under heaven. B man that had the money Slyke was presumed to have had, should secrete whisky on his grounds Is more than I know." "But,” I reminded him, "you say he did not have as much money as people thought he had.” “Yes. that Is true. The lawyer confirmed what I had heard about his losses. Whisky and Slyke h.l a good leal In common, you will find.” He yawned, and I started again for ,uy room. As I reached the door he added, "Black thinks the chauffeur tilled Slykfc Maybe he did. Still"— nd he lawghed "I never saw a man .tth a square head that knew very uch. And that detective certainly «« a square head." And with that ahonrd remark la toy nd. I went to bad

It was only natural, after the lateness of the hour at which I went to bed. that I should oversleep the next j morning. It was well after nine be- ! fore I entered the breakfast room; I | I found no one there but a servant who | told me that the others had eaten i some time before. When I had tin- , Ished my breakfast I went in search ; of Bartley, and found him In the sun parlor surrounded by a mass of newspapers He waved to me and went on reading. The inquest was not to be held until one o'clock; and I wondered what ■ Bartley wanted me to do with my morning. As if in answer to my thought, he looked up and s>;id he j was going into Saratoga on some er- j rands, and suggested that 1 go with him and interview the girl friend with whom Kuth had intended to spend the night. The first place we stopped on our arrival In town was at a large drug store, where Bartley asked to see ! the proprietor. When he appeared. Bartley phu-e-l a small object on the ! COWUer before him. “Can you give me any Idea,” he ! tisked, “what sort of a bottle that i cork came from?" The object was the little stopper with the red wax which he had showed me the night before. Picking fFk AH' ! --- lirjlFn He Suggested That, If It Were Murder, Someone From Saratoga Might Have Committed the Crime. it up. the druggist looked at it very carefully. He turned It over in his hand, scratched the wax with a knife, and took so long in replying that I thought he never would speak. t "I think I can," he said at last. “The little cork not only had its top covered with re<l wax, but the wax ran down the sides of the bottle. In order to get it open, it was necessary to cut the wax away. It looks to me ns if it came from a Park Graham bottle." "You mean the drug firm?” Bartley asked. “Yes. I will show you.” He went behind the screen and returned in a second with a little bottle in Ids hand. It was but u few Inches long, and the cork stopper was covered in the same manner with red wax. and part of It had run down the sides of the bottle. It was the mate to the stopper that Bartley had found. Bartley examined the bottle carefully. "noted the label, and returned It to the druggist. When v-e were again in the automobile. Bartley said, "I wish I were us sure what that stopper was doing In that room as the druggist is of the kind of a bottle It esme out of.” Bartley's real object In coming to town was, however, to visit the Jail and find out front Roche whether the chauffeur had told what he knew or not. I left him at the jail do«»r. promising to return within an hour, and went in search of the young , woman with whom Siyke's step-<laughter had expected to sj»end the night. When 1 found her. Miss Morton bore out al! that Kuth had said about the way she had happened to go home the night of the murder. They had been to a dance together, and on the way track the ear had broken down near the entrance to the Slyke estate, i’ Ruth said, as she was so near, she might as well go home. One of the young men had gope with her to the ’ little cottage where her uncle lived. He had waited until the old man had come downstairs, and had then rejoined his party. Roth’s story hnd been true, and I saw how very foolish , my suggestion to Bartley had been * that she might have committed the , murder. A-

II —— When I returned to the Jail, about an hour later, I found that Bartley had gone to Doctor King's office, and I followed him there at once. It was the usual physician’s office, with cases of instruments along the walls and a flat-top desk in the center of the room. Bartley and the doctor were bending over a small pad when I entered, and Bartley told me that the doctor had been drawing for him ■ a little map of the roads around the ) Slyke estate. The doctor looked older ! than when I had seen h’.m first, far ! more tired and nervous. It took sevj eral years to get over shell shock, ; from which he suffered, he told us, and he hnd been very foolish to start to practice again so soon after .is return from the front. He recounted a few of his war experiences, and they were enough to have broken any man. He said that, as soon as ids duties In regard to the Slyke case were over, he was going to take a rest. All the ■ time he talked to us he phryeil with a pencil or tapped the desk in front of him. We spoke of the inquest, and he I told us that he did not need to call a coroner's Jury unless he wished. The facts were so complex or so simple—it was hard to say which —that a jury would be confused by them. He admitted that there was no doubt that Slyke had been murdered, but doubted if any jury would bring in a verdict of murder on such slight evidence as we had. He suggested that, if it were murder, some one from Saratoga might have committed the crime. It was not a bad suggestion, and to my surprise Bartley seemed to regard it favorably. The doctor mentioned the chauffeur's arrest, and said that he had only known the man by sight. We talked for an hour or more, then returned home. Bartley was in his room changing his suit for luncheon, when a telephone call came for him. When he returned he told me that the call had ) been from Mr. Siyke’s lawyer. He had 'phoned him. Bartley said, that among the papers in rhe safe was an envelope with ten thousand dollars in bills in it, and that the bank had informed him that, on the day of our arrival Slyke had deposited thirteen thousand dollars with them. While this was interesting news. I could not see that It was of any importance to us, and said as much to Bartley. He half smiled as he re minded me that ten thousand dollars was a lot of monej - to keep in the house, and added that it was strange that Slyke should deposit thirteen and retain another ten in his hodse. He •wondered if his keeping the nioney had any relation to the visitor that he was expecting. At any rate, the man had not gotten the money, if that bad been what he was after. Luncheon over. Currie. Bartley and I started for the inquest. The newspapers had evidently received a tip that there was more in Siyke's death ihan had appeared, for when we arrived we were forced to run a gauntlet of reporters, who recognized Bartley at once and crowded around him. They realized that, if he were interested in the case, it was of more Importance than they has suspected, and wanted to know if he did not have some information to give them. With a laugh at their Insistence, he replied that he did not; but, when he had. he would see that they were the ones to get IL There were a number of cars In front of the house and a small crowd at men standing about in twos and threes. Just as we turned to mount the steps. Lawrence drove up and greeted us with a rather forced smile. The inquest was to be held In the large living room in which the burglars had been found. Though it was not a public hearing open to every one, there were a goodly number of people present. Doctor King and the other officials had not yet arrived; and Black, who was talking to a group of men, left them and came to greet us. He told us that the chauffeur. Briffeur, was to be brought from the Jail by Roche, and that he thought his testimony would make a sensation. Bartley seemed to understand what he meant, though I did not. The chauffeur hnd refused to talk and had answered all questions by saying that he would tell j what he knew at the irquest. All at- | tempts to find out what that might be I had failed. Bartley asked Black If he still , thought that the chauffeur was guilty i )of the murder. Black countered by ■ stating that he did n»t believe that anyone else knew as much about the affair as he did. It was his opinion that, if the chauffeur had not killed him, he nt least knew something about the crime. One thing the man had admitted when z questioned. and that was that, when he testified, hr would ruin several eputations. Bartley was much interested!, and told Black that he wished he would ask Roche not to bring Briffeur into the courtroom until It wm time for him to give his testimony. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

asked the other Brownies. “Let us go for a hay ride,” said Bennie. “Oh, that would be such fun," the otli « s said. “When will we go?" "We|l ” said Benrie. "I see that the farmer Is planning to bring the hay from yonder field to tlie loft in the bartf beyond. “Perhaps If we

hurry we can have a ride now. It is some little distance but we can get there if we hurry.” So the Brownies all hurried along and Just before they reached the hay wagon Bennie Brownie emptied a great enormous suitcase which he had and handed every little Brownie a hay coat. Now the hay coats were just the color of the hay and the Brownies put them on and pulled the hoods, which were attached to the coats, over their heads. ~ In this way they could not be seen. If any one came near them they put their arms up over their faces and their arms were covered, of course, by the special suits. Well they did have such a jolly ride and when it was all over Bennie Brownie said: "Let’s have a hay party tonight in the loft.” And the other Brownies thought It would be a splendid idea. For they had enjoyed their ride so much that they did want to Jump up and down in the hay and play in it and throw it at each other and have some wonderful games. "Let's invite the others to come,” said Bennie Brownie. "Oh yes,” the other Brownies shouted. So Bennie Brownie and the other Brownies went around and asked the Fairy Queen and Princess Fairy Joy and Princess Fairy Twilight-Bell and Fairy Ybab and all of the other Fairies to come to the hay party. Every one of the Fairies accepted. Then the Brownies asked Peter Gnome and all of the other Gnomes and every Gnome accepted. Next the Brownies invited the members of the Oaf family and they all accepted. > They invited the members of the Bogey family and they all came, too, for they were such jolly little creatures and not at all the horrible creatures which some gossips had made them out to be. They wouldn't frighten children for anything. There wasn't a single naughty Bogey. And yet they had heard people say that the Bogey man would catch a bad child. They thought it was very mean to say such things about their family, and the Breeze Brothers had taken around many messages, whispering to people and asking them not to say such unkind things of a nice, jolly family. Then the Brownies invited Effie Elf and all the other Elves to come to the hay party and all of the Elves accepted. They invited Old Mr. Giant to come and Old Mr. Giant said he would have to sit down most of the time* for he tvas sure if he stood up he'd hit his heed against a beam but that he would be delighted to come and that he would be careful. They invited Witty Witch and she accepted with delight. So they had their party and-such a jolly party as it was! They played hide-and-go-seek In the old barn and they made piles of hay

into which they jumped. They covered themselves up with hay for the Joy of throwing it off again. And Mr. Moon shone through a little old window which gave them all the light they had.
