"Well, there's your case, Dundee," Dr. Jennings concluded cheerfully. TAnd all 1 have to do is to prove I it," Dundee retorted. "Thanks to ( certain interference, that will be an almost Impossible task." I He lost no time, however, in aet- ting to work. , .-. I' ' "Wickett, I'm going to bother you again," he said to the butler whom he found at work In his pantry. i "You'd JiKe some dinner, a. ex- ipect, sir," the butler suggested. "Not now. Later, if ypu'U be so kind, I'd like you to bring a plate V nt eanHurlrha nnrf n lare-ff thermOS : bottle of strong black coffee to me in the tower room. r. I'm going to 'be working there several hours. It I is the only place I know of where jjl can be sure of absolute privacy ; . . . By the way, there's a key to i'the door at the bottom of the stairs, ijisn't there?" .,' i "Yes, sir," Wicket assured him, 'removing the key from a large ring. 'The key to the room itself is in ,1the door." . : . : "Thanks, Wickett. Maybe two locked doors will keep Gigi out. ;'. j Now, Wicket, I've been ' told that jit is your job to fill the lighter j; fountains and; that ommrciai ('wood alcohol is used." , "Yes, sir," Wickettagreed, with 'faint surprise but- apparently ho jlfear. - r "Where" do you keep your supply 'of wood-alcohoir Has anyone ac-' ac-' cess' to It except yourself?" 1 "Nd oilis' but myself, sir," Wickett answerrdiprpmptly. "I keep Itlock- ed away la My' pantry here and the 'kys are never put of my possession, posses-sion, sif I;tu-Y -. ' . '" ", ' "Good; ;Mr., Berkeley told you to use wood, alcohol ' instead of ,ben-, ,ben-, zlne, I suppose?" . 1 r "Yes," sir. , Either fluid works in the lighters, but, Mr. Berkeley asked I me to use' wood alcohol, because of ji the black sooty smoke and the odor ( of benzine." , ! "Right, Wickett! When did you Uast fill up the fountains?" I "Friday morning, .sir. ' None o them was completely empty, but II ,7 filled every fountain io the house, ,1 sir. There are six, all told: one in I the drawing room, one in the li-I li-I brary, one in Mrs. Berkeley's sitting i room, one in the guest, room whJch 1 Mr. Croby has now, one in Mr. I Berkeley's room and one in Mr. it Dick's." ,. , Dundee considered for a moment, I then hiade j af ;udden ; decisioft. !t '.'Wickett, .woulcl vit be possible for t you to collect" 'all these fountains C without being observed?" t "The family Is in the drawing-(s drawing-(s room now, sir," Wickett demurred. I "That fountain is not important. But please get all the others, bring i them here and measure the amount j of wood alcohol remaining in every one of them. As soon as you have finished, report the results to me j in the tower room." : "Very well, sir." "Just a minute, Wickett," Dundee detained him. "Please send Peggy Harper and Delia Blinn to me here. You need , not come In with them, however." " ' When the two maids, looking very ; tired and frightened,, entered the. butler's pantry, the ; detective has- tened to reassure them. "I'll keep you only a minute, girls, j and I'm not going; to accuse either of you of murdering Doris Matthews. Mat-thews.

Dundee persisted. per-sisted. . ,"'Tm sure I would sir, since there's been so much talk about perfume, on account of poor Doris being hit over -the head with a bottle of it," Delia answered. "But I didn't smell any perfume at all, yesterday or today. That is, in the bathrooms. All of the clothes closets smell of perfume because Miss Gigl sprinkled it on everybody before Doris was hit with the bottle. ! But I haven't smelled any at all anywhere any-where else. Mrs. Berkeley ". uses violet bath salts, but she hasn't even used any of them since Doris was killed." , ; ,.;r- " "I don't clean upstairs just this floor, but I didn't smell any per-') fume in the lavatory down here," Peggy assured him. "Then will you take particular notice no-tice tomorrow ; morning both of you and report to me if there Is such an odor-from a drain pipe?" Dundee asked, with his- friendliest smile; reinforced by a " five-dollar bill for each of the girls. "And don't mention to anyone not even District Dis-trict Attorney Sherwood or Captain Stfgwn that we've had, this little talk."---- :v V . "A slim chance, but one that ' I couldn't afford to overlook," he said to himself as he left the butler's pantry and turned toward the drawing draw-ing room. ' '-.:.V- . Five minutes, later he accompanied accompan-ied George Berkeley to the library and closed the door! ."Please forgive me, Mr. Berkeley, -fpr, calling you c. way from your bridge game," he began, "buz there is a" question I must ask you." "I. thought the district attorney had taken over the . case," George Berkeley retorted stiffly. , , "It Is Mr. Sherwood's , privilege to investigate any case for his own office, but he cannot. ask the police to abandon their own lines of . in-, quiry,", Dundee explained ; courte- ously. He. paused, groping for words with which to fra-ne a question, so that it would indicate the possession posses-sion of knowledge which he did. not poBsisiat all. "Mr, Berkeley, when you -went ; upstairs ..about half-past K10 Friday night, to say good-night to Glgi and possibly console her. did you see or encounter anyone at all on the second floor?"' ; . 1 .

" V'" V ' "That. was when Wickett took the perfume flask to Mrs.' Berkeley's room " he said casually. , "I believe so," Mr. ; Berkeley answered an-swered coldly..

"When .you .went on into your wife's rooms yourself, did you noticethev perfume flask?" . ! j'T, went "no further than the jit-ting jit-ting room," Berkeley ; answered. Again the trap had sprung. "I was there only five or six minutes, poa 'sibly less time." "What was your, errand to your wife'a sitting-room, Mr. Berkeley?" Dundee asked quietly. : His host's stern, handsome face flushed darkly; but he" answered: "I was using my .wife's telephone. I wanted to make a call and her telephone was the nearest. I tried-to tried-to reach my lawyer, but theVe was no answer." For the third time, but . very com. f ldently now, Bonnie Dundee pretended pre-tended knowledge he did" not possess. pos-sess. .. "That call ' to , your lawyer was a direct, result of your few minutes' talk with Gigi, was it not, Mr.: Berkeley?" : . p v V The millionaire shrugged and the flush on his face deepened. "I am not surprised that Gigi has tattled. She has a very loose tongue. "But I can assure -you that I was not following her hysterical suggestion I was not about to consult my lawyer law-yer In his professional . capacity, but as a friend. He has a daughter daugh-ter of Gigi's age, whom Jie has enrolled en-rolled . in a junior college in . the east. After my talk with Gigi, I suddenly made up-mjr mind to send her to this college, instead of permitting per-mitting her to remain at home this winter as her mother had planned. Mrs. Berkeley's Idea was that Gigl should be groomed for society by Mrs. Lambert. I wished to ask my lawj'er's opinion of the college, for a girl of Gigi's temperament." "I see," Dundee nodded. "Thank you very much. Mr. Berkeley . . . You saw one When you left Mrs. Berkeley'ssitting room." ' " "No one at all. "it is likely that Doris went to Mrs. Berkeley's room soon after ' I left, to lay out my wife's things for the night, but. I did not . see her in. the hall as I was returning to the drawingroom." "One thing more Mr. Berkeley, I understand that you had agreed to finance a beauty parlor venture for Doris.".- .

If you'll pardon me, I'll get back to my bridge game," Berkeley answered stiff ly, Half an hour later Wickett was admitted to the tower room. .He came bearing a tray of sandwiches and coffee, as well as information which " seemed " to puzzle him exr ceedlngrly. . ; "I have checked the contents of the" fountains, sir," he! said, depositing deposit-ing his tray as far from the parrot's par-rot's cage as the length of Ihe table allowed.
