Even as he spoke the chauffeur opened his eyes, eyes that still retained their look of horror and dazed surprise. Weakly his glance traveled over the faces bending over him; he tried to raise one hand, but the effort Shown was too much for him and his eyes closed again.

None of us seemed fully aftle to grasp that a man had been murdered almost before our eyes. Doctor King had been working over Mias Potter, and she now opened her eyes and glanced around wildly. She saw the body at her feet, and with a little cry asked, Whate happened? No one answered for a moment; and then Bartley replied simply, Someone has murdered the chauffeur. At the word murder she gasped and covered her eyes with her hand. After a moment she removed It, and stamwho? mered, No one attempted to answer. The truth was that no one could. ,AU we knew was that he had been killed by the knife that was now In Bartleys hand. But how, why, and by whom It was done, none of us knew. It seemed Incredible that anyone could have crept up to the murdered man in the dark without being heard by those seated on either side of him. His cry had lasted bnt the barest fraction of a second ; It seemed scarcely time enough between the moment when the lights went out and the time when the cry came for anyone to have come np to him, murdered him, and gotten away again. The murder must have been committed by someone near him. On one side of him had been Miss Potter; and, on the other, Roche. Roche was above suspicion; a police chief does not kill his prisoner unless he attempts to escape. Then I remembered the strange look that had passed between Miss Potter and the chauffeur when the latter had entered the room. Though there had evidently been between the-tw- o, it seemed absurd to suppose that she had killed him. To have done it, she would have had to have known that he would be seated beside her.

Yet the blow had been struck by some one near' her, and , very near to him. At this moment Roche hurried Into the room, his fat red face flushed to an even redder hue, his eyes wide and curious. What shall I do with those people outside? he asked the district attorI got them ont of the house, ney. but the reporters are howling their heads off. They want to know what has happened. The attorney gave Bartley an api , pealing look. If I were you, Bartley told him, 1 would call the Inquest 'off for today at least. You have heard all the Important evidence. What Briffeur might have said we shall never know. Our duty now Is to try and discover what happened to the poor chap. He turned to Doctor King. If I were yon, Doctor, I would take the name of every one that was In the room this afternoon. Yon might tell the reporters, Roche, that we will talk to them later. As both King and the district attorney nodded, Roche hurried from the room, but returned a moment later. Again we stood hesitating, no one seeming to know just what to do next, waiting for Bartley to take the lead. Seeing that we were depending on him, he walked to the desk where King had sat, and called us around him. Silently he turned the knife over and over in his hand, then gave it to At , iia each of ns in turn to examine. It was a curious kind of a knife, looking as if It had had hard usage. The handle was of wood, rather heavy, and the blade, some four inches long, came to a fine, sharp point.
