If I had known that Mr. Slyke had killed himself, you bet your life I would." From his answer I Judged that the servants did not yet know thnt their employer had been murdered. At least, this boy did not know. He had told us all he knew about the crime, and was soon sent from the room. Only Miss Potter and the butler now remained to be examined. more Roche looking returned, shamefaced than ever. "I'm sorry, Mr. Bartley, but I can't find hlra. No one has seen the chauffeur, and he doesn't seem to be anywhere about the place." Bartley accepted his statement with and a shrug of disappointment, turned his attention to the butler. He was a man of about fifty-fivtall, with a rather thin face of the unemotional kind common to butlers. Though he refused to meet Hartley's eyes, he did not seem to be In the least nervous. What had taken place that night he evidently accepted ns something he could not help and need not worry over. Bartley asked him first about the men that were at the card party. To my surprise the butler said he was unable to give the names of all the men. though he knew most of thein. Bartley took down In a little red notebook the names of such men as he could remember. Then he asked suddenly, "And what was the name of the man that stayed after the others left?" The question seemed to surprise the butler, but he answered, "Mr. Lawrence, sir, the lawyer from Saratoga. Mr. Slyke asked him himself to remain after the others had gone. He went with him up to Mr. Slyke's room and stayed there a few moments. I myself waited here in u chair to let him out and lock up. I did not have to wait long; not more than ten minutes or so." Bartley glanced at the stairs. "Did Mr. Slyke come down with Mr. Lawrence?" he asked. "No, sir. I never saw Mr. Slyke again." He paused, then added slowly, "That Is, alive." "And you did not hear the revolver shot, the one the boy heard?" "No, sir. I did not." I felt that he was carefully choosing his words and wns not giving anymore information than he had to.

On the top of the stairway a young girl of nineteen years stood looking down at us. For several seconds Miss Potter seemed unable to believe her eyes, then she half gasped, "Why. Ruth" The girl, surprised at the effect her simple question had made, clutched her blue silk dressing gown closer shout her and started down the stairs. It wns plain that she bad Just gotten out of bed and had not yet had time to dress. Her eyes went from one person to another questloningly. Who were we, and what were we doing here? As she came slowly down the steps we watched her In silence. She was a handsome girl with beautiful red hair and the creamy wlilte skin that goes with it. When she reached her aunt's side. Miss potter was still too astonished to speak and the girl gave Roche nn appealing look. She wns beginning to realize that something was wrong. "Have the burglars been here again?" she asked. Not trusting herself to speak, Misa Potter shook her bead. The girl knew nothing cf the tragedy that had taken place, evidently, or she would not have been so carefree. She waited, and as her aunt did not seem able to tell her what had happened she turned After swallowing again to Roche. hard for a moment or two the chief stammered out. "Why, Miss Ruth, you see, we that Is well, Mr. Slyke has been killed." The laughing look In her eyes faded nnd one of surprise, blended with horror, took its place. For a second, that to me seemed an hour, she waited, steadying herself by her hand on the table. Then she asked slowly, almost spelling out each word, "De-ad dead why how T' Again a silence.

A glance passed between the two, then he told her what we had found. Though the girl had been startled, I noticed that she was not overwhelmed with grief. Neither bad the older woman been. In fact we had yet to hear any word of regret that Slyke was dead. That the girl's astonishment at Bartley's story hud been genuine there was no doubt ; still the butler's assertion that he had seen her go Into her room when she was supposed to have been nwny from the house had to be explained.

"You saw what?" The butler glanced from Bartley to the woman In the chair. Miss I'ottei was looking at him with a curious ex presslon on her face, one not of fear but of wonder, as If she were curious to know what his statement meant. After glancing at her, he turned to Bartley and said apologetically, "Why. sir, I don't know if what I saw was anything out of the way.

On our way home from a dance ut the lake our machine lost a tire and It took so long to replace It that, as we were near the bouse I decided to come home. Not wishing to go through the woods alone at that hour. I got Uncle Richard to come with me." Seeing that we were puzzled by the mention of her uncle, she explained that he was really a cousin of her stepfather whom she called uncle. lie was a retired clergyman who. during the summer, lived on the estate In a little cottage facing the main road near the entrance to the driveway to the house. When asked If her uncle hud come Into the house with her sbb replied that be had not; that be hud only waited long eootgh for her to unlock the front door. She herself had gone directly to her own room, passing the door of her stepfather's room, which hud been closed. She had seen no one and heard nothing.
