Tlier wer no tree dew enough to the houa that anyone could awing to an upatalra window from one ot them. Tber wer ao flora growing on tb bouae. Without about a twenty fool ladder, which w didnt hate on the place, and which would n hard to go conveying about, to aay nothing of of It afterward, there wna not any poaatbte way for anyone to get to tb aecond floor of our Douse, ei cept by mean of tb back or tb front atalrway. 8lnce Gaby bad been killed on tl-attic atalrway, and alnc all who knew about that aort of thing agreed that ah had been dead at least two hours when wa found her, ah must bnve returned to th bouae sometime between four and live o'clock, and have stolen upstairs wltb none of os seeing her. Since she could do that, there waa no reason to enppoae that someone else could not have done the same thing; either coming In with her at the time, or coming before or after ahe did. I had to conclude that an other peraon certainly had done Just that; had entered the house and had gone upstairs during that hour. Who? The person whom ahe had been fearing? Not one of us. that seemed a certainty. And yet. Miss MacDonald had said, "nonsense. I remembered, again, her strange, mad actions Immediately after she had received the code letter. I remembered bow ahe had looked In the hall that day. when I had told John that I thought I had seen the ghost of Sin. In Gabya "ote to Danny she had written that she had purposely kept her fears and her danger a secret from Danny. Undoubtedly, the secret was written In the code letter. Had she told Dnnny partly the trntb about the contents of that letter, or had she told her falsehoods from beginning to end? Or bad Danny told us only a part of the truth? Why did we all keep forgetting how Danny had tried to call Gaby back, when Gaby bad started on that fatal walk? I have said before, and I say again. 1 knew that Danielle Canneziano had not murdered her sister. But I knew, too, that 11 she had some reason, aome better reason thaD 1 eould conceive, for keeping quiet, for not tell lng everything she knew, Danny was capable of ao doing. I remembered our talk In her room on the morning of the fifth of July. I rememered bow she had acted when her engagement ring bad slipped from her fin ger and I tried to turn my thoughts Into different channels. There was Chad's suicide and bis confession. It could be possible that he had killed blmselt because be bad loved Gaby. Bnt that would not account for bla confession to the crime. It could mean but one thing a desire to shield some ' one. Would be have cared about shielding some unknown scoundrel who had crept Into the house and killed the girl whom Chad loved? Had Chad. then, mistakenly suspected Martha, or Sam. or John, and killed himself and left the Dote to aid one of them? Not likely. Men do not kill themselves, leaving a written confession to a crime of which they are innocent, because of aome mere susnldon. i lemembered my conversation wltb Hubert Hand la the ball that morn- 1 g e Gaby; cou.J hat tu probably rvwily grit a, lingerie, etc, ImtUutlng wealth and good taat who hat my July 8 Shadowed twin ttct, refxoi nothing Ah attended verging on auaplriivt K video w of t crematory aervlte hotel to IMurmul geoelne grief. ranch telegram twit lo lleertred Do rwmpany Mailed no letNd no shopping ter received telegram from Ihwert U ramh engaging tn- - wo raao Kl train prb plletl direcihm roneetwlng of meo.tog inrooveo'rfMto du ably train In rural community, and not devlr to Dare me on the due to llowrtec earn train with Mlva Sole Telephoned to coroner and under me laker, requesting them to gt mofetemw lo Trtko Ala, had coroner eertfy dvt ot name, a published altnt IN wri a tl Mr it 1 lllrhe HUM Kindly.
