HI explanation seemed reasonable enough, yet somewhat mystliiying. Why had th murderer taken all thla trouble to undress Slyke, and why had he done It la some other room? -The next tuestion was Just as pussling. It glrk had not been killed in this room. where had th crime taken placer As if be had read my thoughts, Roche suggested that as there wu another room in the tower, we might see what could be found there. The butler, who entered at this mo ment, did his best not to glance at the bed. H was holding with great -difficulty a half-crown Airedale that growled fiercely when he saw as. TM butler motioned to the doctor te come to him. As he reached bis aid, Doc tor King placed his hand upon the dog's bead and tt ceased te show tta teeth and licked his finger. For aer- sral moments a and th butler held a tow conversation., then King turned te us to say that he had just been called to the hospital for aa operation Wd.would hire to leave, at one- .. - Bartley jKrlbbled omrtluiig..oa a piece of paper, and heading it to the doctor said, 1 think there ought to be a picture taken of the body so it can b used st tb Inquest" The doctor agreed and want out accompanied ac-companied by th butler. As tb door closed behind them Bartley .went te lock " It bur the key was mlssinc. After a moment's hesitation be decided de-cided It would do ne harm te leave It unlocked while we were gone, and we an started for th door shore. -Th room we entered was of the same else as th en la which we had found Slyke. Here,' toe, there was little furniture three chairs grouped around a Htoo table la the center of the room, a lounge In one corner, a small desk m , another. . It was th table that attracted Bartley' attention.: atten-tion.: On it stood a half-emptied bottle of Scotch whisky, and beside th bottle three glasses, one t them holding about a spoonful of liquor. .Kesx.one of the glasses was a hat smoked dgarett and a soagaatai and on the opposite aide ef the table the stub of a cigar. Bartley looked at both ef them with keen Interest and finally pieced hem in en envelope. The cigarette must hat been a tary hlsh-Driced one. for the end waa or the finest BWw.",Tbppeaimnee 'of the table suggested that three men bad . been present and : that tw et them had been smoking. A confer, ence, perhaps, at which a bottle of whisky had assisted. Aside from the table, there seemed te be nothing of interest in th room. .. While Bartley waa still glancing at the table. I walked ever te the large window and drew aside the heavy curtain cur-tain that reached to th floor. At my feet waa a playing cad that bad been concealed ' by Its fold. Glancing around te see If there were any others and finding none, I brought the card t Bartley.'-,"? ? !r- 7 ! A I stepped to his aide. I saw that be was examining th magailna. Like many magaslnea, the back carried fc gaudy hdverUsement that' covered the eatire page. ,ThI on had an unusual amount of unused white space Bartley Bart-ley pointed silently to where someone bad idly amused himself by drawing on it with a pencil, a habit many people have. The design was simple, only a mass of scrolls, with little figure her and there, and lines run-anug run-anug through them. , ; Whatever tt meant te Bsrtley, the mass of seros held ao , significance to me. He did not enlighten me, but placed the magasine . in: his pocket Then I showed him the playing card and told him where I found It - Hs asked. "Are there no morer I waa answering, "No, when Roche Interrupted, Inter-rupted, "Yea, there la one." . He pointed to the stairway that led It will psy yo well te real th adi CKcirho JDtxtton te the top ef the tower. There, lying under the bottom step, waa second playing card with th same design en the back as the one I had toufiU What war 'they doing la that room I Bartley smiled te himself aa h examined ex-amined th second card, Boche asked, TWbat do they meanr With a gesture that, might have meant anything, tt waa ee expressive, Bartley replied, They had a card party downstairs last night" v : Bochs wss excited In a moment TH tell you what tt means. Someone Some-one at that party killed Slyke, followed fol-lowed him up here and killed him. It wu not a half-bad . theory, and even Bartley did not protest much aa I had thought he would. Instead be said. There Is something in what you say, Roche. W must look first for the person who had th chance to kill him. . Ton assume that after th party tb person who dropped these cards did what any absent-minded person might do. That Is, he placed the cards of bis last hand in bis pocket He may hav followed Slyke up here, hidden behind the curtain, and as he killed him dropped aom of his cards on the floor." - , He paused, half frowned, aa If the theory did not quite appeal to him, and added slowly, -Stilt Roche, there are other things to be considered. Thee two cards are ia different parts of the room; not together aa we might have expected , If they Jiad been dropped by accident. It looks to m as If they might hav been placed where w found them by design. As If someone wished us to think Just what yon thought w Then there i la that bottle of whisky and the three glasses. All three glaeee have been drunk from. The glasses show that they were all need at about the same time.'

We followed more elowly. j- '' W found ourselves on a balcony aom four feet wide that ran around the tower. About eight or ten feet below lu brwue-tlpped top, an Iron railing protected the edge of the balcony bal-cony and wss covered with Ivy, were slso . the sides of the tower ttselt Bartley psused for moment standing with his band otf the rail, bis face serious, hi eyes thoughtful. But tt waa for a moment only; th next be was out of sight around the tower. Almost Instantly we beard htm call ua, and when we reached his side be waa on his knees examining the floor end the lower part of the wait Looking where be pointed, I aaw at his feet a dark splotch on th floor of th balcony, and a little higher up everal similar spots on the wall of the tower. 1 realised that, at last a had found whet be had been looking for. Ther wss no doubt that the splotches we saw were blood, ami tuul U.had been shed within a few hours. : Svf Bad he expected to find them Just wher be did? I wondered. Aa if answering my thoughts, be said, "Yea, Slyke waa murdered her. Though 1 had been sure be would say that It did not seem reasonable that any person should select th balcony bal-cony of .tower fifty or more feet la th air, aa a plac in which to commit a murder, It becam still more puuilng whea I remembered that Slyke bad been carried, down two night ef stairs, , undressed, placed la bed and a revolver clasped la ala hand. Roche, his fat face pus-sled, pus-sled, gave me a bewildered glance. I could sympathise with hi ajstoalsh-meot ajstoalsh-meot aa I felt much th same way myself. . 'V:-.; ;'':';'; :, : '. . I expressed my surprise te Bartley and he responded, "I knew.

He paused -for-a-momeat aa-lf thinking, then continued, "Slyk gar a party last evening. Th crime must hav been committed after the party brok up. That wu probably t between be-tween .one and two o'clock In 'the morning. On man,- perhaps two, stayed behind to talk with Slyke. " We cant aay positively that they did. but they may have.'' Roche thinks that this man, or men, committed the murder. mur-der. One man may have stayed and then gone away before the murder, or someone, lse. may have come later. They may bare come up her te tee the view, and on of them shot hint After the crime th body, at any rate. wag taken downstairs again and hn-f dressed, the nlgbtohlrt placed on It, .asd, It laid in bed. - As he wanted It p anpar like suicide, the murderer puvvilhe. la Jb dei3 msn's in fers, but he either did not remember, or perhapi did not .know, how th eyes should look after a luddea death. Th vary things don to make us think It wu suicide prove that it could not have possibfr been one." V i ,t v5 As Bartley was now ready te ge downstairs again, we all returned to the room below.

The door to the stairway wu closed Just ns we bad left It; Bartley opened It to find a young man with a big cam-are cam-are under bis arm on the landing.
