John Bartley, noted criminal Investigator, recently returned from Secret Service work during the war, is asked by the governor of New York to investigate a mysterious attempted robbery of the Robert Slyke home at Circle Lake, near Saratoga, and to establish the guilt or innocence of two men In the penitentiary for the crime. A miscarriage of justice is suspected. Bartley finds in it the restaging of an old case, is interested and agrees to solve the mystery. With his friend. Pelt, a newspaper man, Bartley goes to Circle Lake, the pair becoming the guests of Bob Currie, an old friend. The three visit the Slyke home. Slyke resents Bartley's coming, saying he is satisfied the two men in prison are guilty. Bartley is not. Next morning Slyke is found dead in bed. apparently having shot himself. Miss Potter, the dead mans sister-in-iathe village police chief, Roche, and the family physician, Doctor King, all agree Slyke killed himself but Bartley insists he was murdered. Investigating, Bartley finds evidence that Slyke, after a card party he had given, was shot on the tower of the house, undressed, and placed in bed. During his absence from the room someone removes the revolver from Slykes hand. A boy working in the gaiage asserts be heard a shot during the night, apparently "in the air, of course really on the tower. CHAPTER IV Continued. I scanned the two cards he gave me and then those on the table. The pack was an ordinary one, such as Is sold for a dollar. Not only the designs on the backs were the same, but the texture of the cardboards as well. Do you realize wliat that shows? asked Hartley. That the cards we found in the tow er are from the pack on this table. Yes! They may have been dropped up there by the murderer, or they may have been placed there to make us believe that someone in the poker party bad committed tlie crime. Why couldnt It have been done, I suggested, by someone In the party?" lie was thoughtful for a second or two, then slowly shook his head. "Of course, It might have been, but I think that the odds are against It. This is no ordinary crime, though some one 'wanted us to think It was a commonThe criminal was place suicide. afraid, however, that we might discover ft to be murder and prepared for that emergency. IIow do you make that out?" I asked, astonished. An ordinary criminal" Bartley spoke so softly that Miss Potter could not hear would never have taken all the trouble Involved in undressing Slyke and placing 'him In bed. That was intended to give the idea of suicide; but, as tlie murdcrcf knew there was a chance of some one suspecting that it was murder, he took the cards from the table and placed them where we could find them. He knew that tlie finding of cards in the tower would throw suspicion upon everyone present at tlie game. It Is to me only nil additional link in evidence that proves It was not suicide." Roche returned, bringing with him the butler, three women and a boy. None of them could ghe us any information of value. Bartley soon dismissed them. After they had gone, Bartley turned to the boy who, from the excited way lie was wriggling, evidently wanted to say something. It came out with on eagerness that was almost laughable. "I heard a gun last night, he cried. You did? asked Bartley, startled for a second. The boy nodded eagerly. "Yes, sir. Last night, sir." Eartley placed, his hand on the Where w ei'if you boy's shoulder. when you heard the shot? Wliat time was it? Well, sir, the boy began, you see, f work out in tlie garage, wash the ears and such tilings. I sleep over it and eat in the kitchen. Last night, you know, we had the big car out to take some of the gentlemen borne that were at the card party. When the chauffeur got back I washed the car. The chauffeur? We stared inquiringly at eacli other, and Bartley said sharply to Roche, Where is he? Roche looked confused and shamefaced, then hurried from tlie room, and Bartley resumed his examination of the boy. You said you were washing the car. What then? Yes, sir. I was washing the car. It was after twelve oclock and is took some time. Then I smoked cigar a man had given me and went to bed. Just after I crawled in, about half-paone, I guess, I beard a shot. Not very loud, but It was a shot, all right. Where did it seem to come from? Eartley asked. The bov scratched his head for a moment and looked a bit foolish as be replied. Tfs funny, but It seemed to be up in the air near the house. Hartley threw me a quick glance. This fitted Li with his theory that Slyke had been killed on the balcony of the tower. If that theory was right nd the shot that the bov had heard wo the one that had billed Slyke, be would naturally think that the sound came from the air. I wondered if the boy could tell ns anything else of va'ue. Did you Let out of bed to see If you could discover where the shot came from? ' No, sir, I did not; but, 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 that their employer had been murdered. At least, this boy did not know, He had told us ail he knew about the crime, and was soon sent from the room. Only Miss Potter and the butler now remained to be examined. Roche returned, looking more shamefaced than ever. Im sorry, Mr. Bartley, but I cant find him. No one has seen the chauffeur, and he doesnt seem to be anywhere about the place. Bartley accepted his statement with a shrug of disappointment, and turned liis 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 Bartleys eyes, he did not seem to be in the least nervous. What had taken place that night he evidently accepted as 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 them. Bartley took down in a little red notebook the names of such men ns he could remember. Then he asked And what was the name suddenly, of tlie 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. lie went with him up to Mr. Slykes 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 whit long; not more than ten minutes or sov Did Bartley glanced at the stairs. 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, tlie one the boy heard? No, sir, I did not. I felt that he was carefully choosing his words and was not giving any mere information than he had to. I e, 1 Frl, With She Was a Kandsome Beautiful Red Hair and the Creamy White Skin That Goes With It. wondered what It was that he was holding back. Bartleys next question and the answer that It brought proved that I was right. Did you see or hear anything last night out of the way? The butler was so long in answering that the question had to be asked a second time. We were getting impatient before he said, I, heard nothing suspicious, Miss Potter gasped and asked the butler in great astonishment, But, Robert, how can you say that! You know Miss Ruth was not at home last evening. She spent the night at Saratoga. She has not returned yet. For a second no one spoke. Bartleys eyes went from the butler to the woman and back again. We all wondered what his next question would be, but we never found out. Suddenly, from above ns, a girlish voice called, Who is talking about me? we all turned and Astonished, looked in the direction from which the voice had come. 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 about her and started down the stairs. It was plain that she had 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 white skin that goes with It. When she reached her aunts side, Miss Potter was still too astonished to speak and the girl gave She was Roche an appealing look. beginning to realize that something was wrong. Have the burglars been here again? she asked. Not trusting herself to speak, Miss Potter shook her head. The girl knew nothing of tlie 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 vrtiat 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 The Practical Mans Car, The quick success of the Chevrolet Utility Coup6 has proved how accurately its designers gauged the trana- pertation requirements of the average busy man, This fully equipped, modern car combines reliability, remarkably low operating costs and the lowest price asked for a Fisher Body automobile.
