PACE SEVEN e Ik Mazaroff Mystery 1 n By J. S. IXETCIIER Illuairationai by Irwin Myers (, by Alfred ' CHAPTER A- - X 14 Continued The grocer took us through hli shop Into his buckyard. It was a dismal place, all the more dismal because that wus an unusually tine spring evening. It seemed to be a sort of dumping ground fur boxes, barrels, chests, old tins, crates, all the refuse of a chandlery shop; and It was of some extent, running from the back of the premises to a high wall In which there wus a crazy door. "Here's where 1 found him I" whispered Kiltliwalte In a whisper: "I wunted some planking out of this pile of old wood: 1 pulled some aside, nnd there was a tnun's arm I And then well, then I found the rest. I saw signs of a struggle. Hut." he added, "some of your people that have been here ulreudy, Mr. Corkerdale; they say that there are clear Indications that he'd been dragged In here, across the yard, from the door there." "What's outside that door and the wall?" nuked Corkerdiile. We all went to look. There was a narrow, stone-pave- d lane there, running from a side street between the bucks of the Harrow road houses and those of some street or terrace set further hack. It was fenced In by high walls for all Its length: there were only two feeble gas lamps to light It; it was dark, silent. "One of your men says there are bloodstains on the stones just there!" whispered the grocer. "Of course, you know, I never heard anything and I've not heard either, of anybody who did so far." We went hack to the shop and stood discussing the matter and Its probabilities for some little time. Then the grocer's telephone bell rang. He went to answer It, and looked round at us. "If one of you gentlemen's Mr. Maythorne," he said. "He's wanted." Maythorne crossed over and took up the receiver. A moment later, be, too, turned on us. "From the under hull porter 1" he exclaimed. "Mrs. Elphlnstone and Miss Merchlson are back!" ; - CHAPTER XI Accused 1 T HAD been pretty much of a pas- slve spectator and observer up to that point, but as soon as Maythorne made bis startling announcement 1 leaped Into action. I was half way to the shop door before his last word had left his Hps; he himself was scarcely less rapid of movement and his hand was on my arm as I crossed the threshold. "Where are you going?" be exclaimed. "Where? Short's, of course!" I answered. "Aren't you?" "To be sure!" he said. "But a moment. These other two bad better come, as well. And a word With this grocer chap." I waited Impatiently outside the shop nntll the three men Joined me. We had some little difficulty In finding a taxlcub; they were not plentiful In that dreary quarter; when at last we had packed ourselves Into one I chafed all the time its driver was running down to a more palatable neighborhood. My three companions had relapsed Into silence: each seemed to be following some train of thought of his own. Nobody spoke. Indeed, until we were close to Short's hotel : then Manners suddenly gave voice to what he evidently was thinking. "That poor fellow Bownas must have come np to London by the same train that the F.lphlnstones came In 1" hesald.

"EviI since he presented himself dently at their hotel very soon after they got there." "What I meant," said Manners, "was this-H- f he did, as he must have done, he was tracking them or some one of them." "That, too, seems evident," rejoined Maythorne. "I should say he was! Especially as he followed the three women when they went out !" "Why?" asked Manners. "Why? That's what licks me !" There 'was a brief silence on that. Then Corkerdale spoke. "Newspaper man, you say he was," he . remarked. "Reporter. Those chaps have a trick of poking their noses Into places and things where they've no right to be. Poachers, as It were.

"I shouldn't wonder If you're right, Corkerdale. But what a pity we didn't get on his line, tool For, If he was murdered to silence him, you may bet your life he was on the right line! lint here we are." The upper hall porter hurried down the steps at Short's and opened the door of our cab, glancing knowingly at Maythorne. "Come In Just as I got back, sir," he announced In an undertone. "Both of 'em I In a taxi. So I telephoned up there to you, at once." "Good !" answered Maythorne. "But only Mrs. Elphlnstone and . An-perl- W N. U Knopf, Inc.) Miss Merchlson? "No, sir. Only daughter. 111, 1 8rvic Not the maid?" the lady and her think sir. glance and went on. "So, eventually. I said to Miss that I was going to Short's, to have It out with my mother, If I could. I came here I saw my mother In that bedroom." "Alone?" asked Maythorne. "Alone! We had a sort of row at first she was naturally furious with me; first, for taking the will out of her possession ; second, for running away to London with It and giving It to Mr. Holt. But In the end she calmed down, and eventually, when we had restored amicable relations between ourselves, she told me that I need not have been so hasty, for It was her full Intention to send the wilt, either to Mr. I'ostlethwalte, who had prepared It, or to Mr. Crole, the very next day, with an account of how It bud come into her possession." "How had the will come Into Mrs. Elphlnstone's possession?" asked Maythorne. "In this way." replied Sheila. "I told you and Mr. Holt that my mother was out late In the evening for two evenings In succession, and thut on the second evening I Mrs. Klphtu-stoue'- a There's doctor gone op." Maythorne turned to the two policemen. But before, he could say woinun In the uniform anything, of a professional nurse came hurrying round the corner and sped up the steps Into the hotel. "The doctor's evidently telephoned for a nurse," observed Maythorne. "Urn!-- we can't very well breuk In on Illness." But Corkerdale shook his bead and his face grew Inflexible. "Illness or no illness, Mr. Maythorne," he said. "I'm going up I Things are a bit too thick, too serious. And there's the young lady. She'll know where her mother's been and where they've coiuh from. And where's that other woman, the maid? We'll go up, Manners." Maythorne and I followed them. We went up to the floor on which the Elphlnstones' suit of rooms was situated. At the door Corkerdale paused and turned to me. "Mr. Holt knows the family," he said In a suggestive whisper. "Go In.

He was speaking as I entered, and with a mere glance at me be went 'ii3f irgi semi-perplex- on : " after a good night's rest, quite all right, I think. But I will again, Mr. Elphlnstone, In a couple of hours, and perhaps give a Mrs. sleeping Elphlnstone draught. Keep the nurse all night she'll save you a lot of trouble. I think that's all at present." He turned and made for the door, and as I was still close by It, I opened It for him, let him out, and shut It on htm, at the same time slipping the latch those three outside were not coming in nntll I was sure of someI turned: Sheila was althing. ready advancing towards me. "You're nil right?" I asked eagercall ly. "Safe?" "Safe yes!" she answered. "All right, too. But everything else Is all wrong! Maythorne? where Is be?" "Outside," I said. "The police, too!

Tou'll hear everything that I say to them," she added, turning to Mr. Elpnlnstone. "There mustn't be any delay, either ! Open .the door!" I thrust back the latch and threw the door open the three men outside came in, wonderingly. The two policemen, thus admitted, appeared to lose their tongues, but Maythorne, after a first keen glance at Sheila, smiled. "I think you're none the worse for- your adventures. Miss Merchlson," he said. "I hope Mrs. Elphlnstone is not seriously the worse, either?" "My mother's had a sort of collapse after she came in," replied Sheila. "The doctor says she will be all right after a night's rest. Sit down, all of you. If you please I want to talk to you," She continued, "You've all been wonabruptly. dering where my mother, and Alison Murdoch, and myself went, and where we've been since, haven't you?" "A good deal of search has been made for you, miss," observed Cor"Gokerdale, finding his tongue, ing on now, It Is, too! What happened, if I may ask?". Sheila looked at Maythorne and from him to me. "Happened?" she answered. "My mother and 1 were kidnaped !" Mr. groaned but Elphlnstone there was a note of triumph In bis voice. "By whom were you kidnaped Miss Merchlson?" asked Maythorne quietly. Sheila 'nconseolusly lowered her voice as she bent forward to answer. "Alison Murdoch !" she replied. Mur"And where Is Alison doch?" continued Maythorne. "But I suppose you don't know !" "No!" answered Sheila. "I don't know !" Corkerdale cleared his throat the sound suggested that he thought it was high time be came in. "What Td wish, Mr. Maythorne," he said "that is.

Seems to me we want a consecutive narrative as It were. Then" "I'm going to tell you," Interrupted Sheila. "But I shall have to begin before that.

Her explanation is that on coming in that night she found one of the french windows In the library open, and on the carpet. Just within, an envelope containing the will! She had just picked this up and was examining It when I saw ber." "To be sure to be sure!" muttered Mr. Elphinstone, "Perfectly clear ! perfectly I" "Proceed, If you please," said Maythorne, quietly. "Well," continued Sheila, "I then began to talk to my mother about various possibilities as to how the will had come there. I pointed out that the possession of It, and her refusal to account for It and to reply to questions (all of which is due to her natural pride and obstinacy and dislike of being coerced by anyone) would make people r like you, for Instance suspicious She cared very little about her. about It, but we began to discuss the question of the identity of the murderer. For It seemed to me that whoever had stolen the will had previously murdered Its maker ! And eventually, and I think, accidentally, I told her about that cairngorm brooch which you showed me the other night." "Ah!" exclaimed Maythorne, with a sudden betrayal of his keen Interest. "You did? Good good I And" "She Immediately became excited. She Jumped to the conclusion that you had picked It up at the scene of the murder " "I did!" remarked Maythorne. "So she suspected and said tjiat that of course was why you were taking care of It. Then she told me that from my description the brooch was one of two which Mr. Elphinstone had bought, years ago, in Scotland, and given to ber. She had never worn either, as they were cumbrous and heavy: she still had one, but she had given the other away, some time before." "Aye, and to whom?" asked Maythorne, eagerly. "To Alison Murdoch !" replied Sheila, giving us all a swift, enveloping glance. "And of course, as soon as I heard that, I saw through the whole sordid business. Alison Murdoch was the guilty per- -' son! She had murdered and robbed Mazaroff; she had dropped that brooch at Reiver's den : she had thrown the will Into the library at the tower the one fataj mistake she made for her own chances I told my mother my and And then I fetched conclusions.

"You plumped her with It, miss? straight out!" he exclaimed. "Yes yes?" "Straight out! there and then," assented Sheila. "But let me tell you why In addition to what I've already told. During the last few minutes of my talk with my mother I'd been thinking harder and quicker than I'd ever thought In my life. Now. I remembered something about Alison Murdoch and ... my father, Andrew Merchlson, was well known In those purts before his marriage, and that his people had been folk of some consequence I knew, too, that Alison there. Murdoch's family hid been there a long time, too, and that between It and my fat Iter's people there was a deudly enmity, arising out of " "Laud I" Interrupted Mr. "Land!

"There are men and women there In Murrus-dul- e who remember It " "Well." continued Sheila, "It struck me that Alison Murdoch, who Is a silent, trim, reserved, determined woman, probably not only remembered It, but wus the very sort of person, who, If she got the chance' of revenge, would tnke It without hesitation. I figured it all Alison Murdoch, out this way. when Mazaroff, who, of course, was really Andrew Merchlson, came to the Woodcock, wus helping there: helping with the cooking and so on.

"Corkerdiile and Manners will understand the meaning of a question I want to put to "It's this you," he continued. does this woman, Alison Murdoch, at all resemble your mother, Mrs. Elphinatone?" "Very closely I" answered Sheila. "They're of the same height and build, anyway very similar In figure and not at all unlike in general appearance." "One could easily be mistaken for the other In tbe dark, eh?" asked Maythorne. "I should say, very easily," as"In fact, I have so serted Sheila. mistaken them myself."

"Well 1 was going to say that that seemed to me a good ground for suspecting her, taking other things into consideration," continued Sheila. "But I had another ground. It was well known It had already got talked about. He was about careless displaying his wealth. I myself heard, as people do hear things In villages, that he left large sums of money and even diamonds lying about on hia dining table. Now, 1 knew that Alison Murdoch is a covetous, avaricious, grasping woman ; miserly to the last degree. If she murdered Andrew Merchlson out of revenge, she was Just the sort of woman to rob his dead body of everything on It out of sheer greed She Is, I say that sort "A hoarder I" muttered Mr. Elphlnstone. "A saver of farthings I I think you're quite right. Sheila. But murder? dear me I" "Well, that's the conclusion 1 came to," said Sheila, "and these were my reasons. In the few minutes In which I thought all this out, I came to the absolute definite conclusion that Alison Murdoch had shot Andrew Merchison, had robbed him of his money, valuables, and papers, and that it was she who had thrown his will Into the open window of Mr. Elphlnstone's library, where my mother had picked it up. And, as I sulci at the beginning, as soon as I'd arrived at that conclusion, I called her Into my mother's room that room ! and accused her of the murder!" Mr. Elphinstone treated us to one of his groans. But Corkerdale, unconsciously edged his chair nearer to Sheila. "Now, this is where the really Interesting part conies in, miss !" he said.
