There they could only wait, while the embers of the Hurder house still smoked and steamed. Inspector Heale went presently to sleep, here beside Tope in the car. A gray and miserable dawn came at last, through the drenched and sodden trees to reveal the desolation here. Where the Hurder house had stood was a black pit now, with embers and timbers scattered all around. Firemen were busy; and steam still rose from the embers. Dawn became day, and Inspector Heale woke, and took Tope away to breakfast and brought him back again. They could only wait; and it was near noon when they got back to Kenesaw HilL The Chief at last came swiftly toward them, with something in his hand. He extended it triumphantly. There, look at that! he cried. Tope saw what it was: a large fuse of the sort used in electric circuits designed to carry a considerable current.

Inspector Tope felt a quick premonition of success. It was such accidents as this which had betrayed murderers before, and would Heale again. He looked at Inspector had other the whether wondering the same thought, but Heale s eyes were fixed on someone a little distance off, and when Tope swung that way, he saw the man whom June had called Uncle Jim approaching them at swift long short-circuite- d h XII June looked back over her shoulder and said gratefully: "You were sweet to me. But I did want Clint June woke to strange surroundings; to a room she had never seen before, a bed she did not know. She woke, and lay wnth wide eyes, remembering; and for a while she was content to stay abed, putting her thoughts in order, assorting all her horrified impressions of the At last she heard night before someone stop outside her door and stand still there as though listening; for a moment she shuddered with vague terrors, then decided this must be a friendly step, and called: too. So June was able to forget for a while those horrors of last night: she and Clint and Miss Moss laughed together over the breakfast-table- , and while they washed dishes afterward. But early in the afternoon Inspector Tope came home. The old man was tired and worn and haggard, and his clothes were sodden. Miss Moss seized on him and hustled him. protesting, away to change; she would have put him to bed, but the Inspector balked. June asked Clint desperately: What is it, dear? What has happened? Why is he that way? And suddenly: Why do you call him 'Inspector'? Is he a policeman? He used to be, Clint told her. For years. He thought uncertainly to distract her attention; and he said almost eagerly: He can tell you the greatest stories, about the cases he had, the things he did. I ... Come in. Moss opened the door; and June saw kindness in her, and strength and affection. The older woman came gently to her bedside; she said quietly: Good morning. Miss Leaford. Did you sleep well? I must have, I think, June confessed. What time is it? Past eleven, Miss Moss told her gently. Stay in bed. I'll bring you some coffee. But June sat up quickly. Oh, no. So late! And she asked: Wheres Clint? Sound acleep. Is he all right? Yes; yes, my dear. Perfectly. Just a few burns and blisters. He was so brave, June whispered proudly; and Miss Moss said So Miss smilingly: Hes sleeping like a child. He took Inspector Tope out there last night, after you went to bed; but he came back soon himself, and I took care of him. June nodded. Youve always taken care of him, havent you? Since his mother died, yes. Of him and of Clara. The girl insisted on arising; and she and Miss Moss had a long hour together before Clint woke at all, moving quietly, speaking in halfwhispers so that he might not be disturbed. Once the telephone rang, and Miss Moss answered it. June heard her speak in a steady negation to some insistent one, and guessed the truth before Miss Moss confessed to her. That was your cousin, the oldMr. Taine er woman explained. wanting you to come home. He said he would come fetch you. Rab or Asa? June asked, al most fearfully.

This was Aunt Evie, insisting in her even, pitiless tones that June come home. But Miss Moss yielded not an inch; and June, when she heard who it was, cried: Mothers I can't, Miss Moss.

"You think someone killed my mother? she said swiftly. Clint protested something, and Inspector Tope stood uncertain; but June turned to Miss Moss. Tell me, she insisted. "Is it true?" Miss Moss answered her. Yes, June, she said. I think it is true. Her voice was infinitely kind. Junes eyes closed; she seemed to grow tall, she stood so straight and still. She looked at them all again, and said slowly: "You must tell me. Oh, tell me what to do.

But Miss Leaford, I want to ask you about last night about everything that happened before you left the house to meet Clint: who you saw, what you did, what other people did. So June, picking her words with care, arranging her memories in order, began to tell him; and while she talked, he made an occasional note, on a pad of paper, till she concluded at last: And then Clint brought me away, brought me in here. Inspector Tope nodded with a deep approval. "That's fine, he said; and he explained: Tve been trying to figure out the times when some of these things happened. Ive made a schedule.
