Is asked toy 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. of Bartley finds In It the an old case. Is interestedrestaging 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 Bartleys coming, saying hs Is satisfied the two men in are guilty. Bartley Is not. prison Next morning Slyke Is found dead In bed, apparently having shot himself. Miss Potter, the dead mans sister-in-lathe 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 after a card party he had Slyke, 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 garage asserts he heard a shot during the night, apparently In the air, of course really on the tower. Ruth, Slykes stepdaughter, still further complicates the case. CHAPTER IV Continued. Her story, of course, would have to be checked up, but her actions were frank and her manner seemed truthful. She could evidently throw no She waited light on our problem. quietly for Bartleys next question, which, when It came, was a surprise even to me. Did you see the dog when you air of a man whose thoughts were far away. When he paused, he did not reply at once. Roche, he said at length, I am sure It was murder, not suicide. Its one of the most mysterious crimes T have ever heard of. We are up in the air. We know of no reason either for Slykes having been murdered or for his having killed himself. There Is a great deal yet to do. You had better get a couple of your men up here as quickly as possible and search the house. Roche went out to telephone for his men and Bartley walked over to the window. I followed him and we stood looking out at the view. He placed his hand on my shoulder. Pelt, you have a good deal of work to do today. I want you to find out all you can about the men who were at the poker game. Then you must see that man "Lawrence and get his story. Find out why he stayed behind the others. If you have any time left, you had better look up In the files of the local newspapers the burglary of last year. You dont think that had anything to do with the murder, do you? I asked in wonder. He gave me one of those smiles of his that tell nothing, and drawled out, I am not saying, but you know we came up here on a burglary case, not a murder mystery. He did not give me time to wonder what his reply meant, but continued, Better go to Curries and get the car. Here are the names of the men you are to see. As I was leaving the room he waved his hand and called after me with a smile, Good luck! See you tonight. CHAPTER V Hear More About the Bur-glary. ! Currie was sitting on the piazza He came to the door and walked to the foot of the stairs with when I reached the house. He got up hurriedly and advanced to me. me. Where in the devil Is John? he Bartley turned to the butler and asked, Was the dog in this room asked. He apparently knew that we had when you came down this morning? Yes, sir. He always sleeps here." called over to Slykes, but he did not There was a long silence after this, broken at last by the girl asking if she might return to her room. Bartley smiled and assented. I could see that he was not satisfied at the way things, had gone. His lips were shut tight and his eyes wandered restlessHe glanced ly around the room. moodily down at the woman In the chair, who had recovered her composure to some extent, and was now watching with keen eyes everything In Which I came in? Oh, yes that was going on. a while, Bartley turned to the Did you see anyone near the Mr. Slykes room while we After butler. door of were in there? I dont know, sir. I did see the chauffeur coming down the stairs. But I dont know if he had been up to the room. If you can find him, send him to me at once. Bartley commanded. The butler took this order as a dismissal and left tne room. Bartley turned to Miss Potter and asked her if she had returned to Slykes room after she left us there. She shook her head. There was' again a long silence. At length Bartley broke it by telling her that she need not remain any longer. She rose to her feet and started toward the stairway. Half way across the floor she paused, and said in a voice that hesitated more than onee, You asked me, Mr. Bartley, if, when I found Mr. Slyke was dead, I touched the bedclothes. Bartley turned quickly. The tone of his voice as he answered her question showed that he knew something Important was coming. Yes, I did. With her hands playing nervously with a fold of her dress and her eyes on the floor, she continued slowly, I did not touch the bedclothes, but I I You Yes," encouraged Eartley. did what? She seemed to find it difficult to answer. When I went in that room and found him dead her voice was very low he looked I mean, his eyes so frightened me that I she paused again I closed them. For a while we looked at her, too surprised to speak. Bartleys brows knit and a curious look came into Lis face. All at once l realized the full meaning of her words. If she had closed Slyke's eyes, then it would be hard for Bartley to prove that he had been murdered. He had claimed that, if Slyke had committed suicide, his eyes would have been open, lie had gone even further and said it was the murderer who had closed his eyes, .Linking that was the way they should look in death. But now Miss Potter had told us that it wms she who had closed them. Slyke might, after all, have killed himself I Would Bartley still be able to prove that he had been murdered? Once more Miss Potter lapsed into herold sullen meod and refused to add anything further. Bartley plied her with questions, but in the end she had added nothing to her first statement that Slykes staring eyes had frightened her and she had closed them. She insisted, however, that she had not touched the bedclothes, that they had been close around his neck and up over his chin when she found Why, him. When we were alone, Roche turned to Bartley and said, There goes your theory of murder. You cant prove now that he did not kill himself. he Bartley listened to Roche ous himself that he would never have dared to fire a gun. Its toe bad he stayed behind last night" As I wanted to interview Lawrence next the editor accompanied me in his car to point out the building where L Lawrence had his office.- - Here he left me, saying that If I would call at hla office in about an hour, he would have the bach files of the newspaper I wanted ready for me. Lawrences office was on the second floor of a brick building, and his door bore the sign Law Office. At a desk, reading a newspaper, was a man of about forty-fivwith a very thin, nervous face. He threw down the paper and eyed me questioningly. When I told him that Slyke was dead and that I had come to learn about his Interview with him, he moved uneasily in his chair; but when I added that we believed that Slyke had been murdered, and that as far as we knew he was the last person to see him I alive, he was absolutely unnerved. could see that, until I mentioned the word murder, he had thought that Slyke had committed suicide. For a second I wondered if, after all, he had not had something to do with the Eoery Heal Top off each meal of with Ina bitform sweet the WRIGLEYS. Of It satisfies the sweet tooth and e, aids digestion. and Pleasure benefit combined. crime. Taking a chair by his side, I said, You were the last person, so far as we can discover, to see Mr. Slyke alive. We know that you stayed for a few moments only, and that he himself asked that you remain. As you were the last one to see him alive, we are much interested in what you can tell us of how he acted. Did he seem nervous or upset? My question did not make the man by my side any easier. He answered voice that quickly, in a broke several times, I did stay; but the other men will tell you that I was going home with them until Slyke asked me to wait a moment. I had no idea beforehand what he wanted. I wish to God I had gone with the rest. Some d d fool will say I killed him. It was just what some people would say, when it became public that the butler had not heard Slykes voice high-pitche- d again after Lawrences departure. But for myself, I could not connect guilt with the thin, nervous figure beside Grippe me. What did he want to see you about? I asked. Lawrence flushed, then half grinned, as he answered, He asked me if I wanted to buy some Scotch whisky." I repeated in Buy some whisky? astonishment. Yes, it seems foolish, doesnt it? But thats what he wanted to see me about. He said he had lots more than he needed, .and that he could let me Physicians advise keeping the bowels open as a safeguard against Grippe Of Influenza.

I had been wondering what it was that Slyke wanted to see Lawrence about, and had even made several guesses; but never in my wildest imaginatiou had I supposed that it was about whisky. I could understand why Lawrence should want to buy it, for good whisky is hard to get ; but why Slyke, presumed to Je a rich man, should want to sell five cases was beyond my comprehension. I Did Not Touch the Bedclothes, but know the reason. I answered, He Is over at Slykes; Slyke was murdered last night . His large red face grew purple. Murdered? he gasped. My G , who did It? I told him all I knew. He listened with intense interest ana growing horror. When I ended by saying that Bartley would be back to dinner, he shrugged his shoulders. There goes my visit with John. I have been after him for a long time to come up here; and when he does, he finds a murder right on my doorHe paused, then added, step. I wonder who killed Slyke. I never liked him very much, but I know of no reason for his being murdered. I went to the garage and backed out his little runabout, and started for town. In front of the post office I stopped the car and got out. I knew that if the postmaster would give me the addresses of the men v ho had been at the card party, it would sae me a lot of time. Upon explaining my errand, he gave me thp desired inforOne of the first names on mation. the list was that of the editor of the local newspaper, and it suggested an idea to me. Arriving at the newspaper office, I found the man I sought just going out to luncheon. When he learned that I had come to ask him some questions about Slyke, he invited me to lunch with him. We went to his club, and In the small dining room found a table to When I mentioned the list ourselves. of names, he told me all that he knew. A few men, mostly old friends, met every week or so to play poker. They went to Slykes usually because, as he put it, Slyke had more booze than The games were the rest of us. friendly affairs and the stakes low. When I asked him if Mr. Lawrence stayed after the others had gone home, he replied tjiat he had and that he thought Slyke himself had asked him to remain, though he did not know for what reason. Suddenly it occurred to him that what he had said might place Iawrence in an awkward position. Jim Lawrence, he said, could have hfid nothing to do with Slykes death. Lawrence is so darned nerv He saw my surprise and said, It. does seem strange. I was surprised myself. I had heard that he had a lot of booze; but we were not the closest of friends, and nowadays a man lets his liquor go only to his pals. The man who will let you have five cases of whisky is a pretty good friend." I smiled at his answer. He was right. People with imported liquor were not giving it away. And what was more, few men of Slykes position were selling their private stock. He told me, Lawrence continued, that he had a great deal more than he could use, and that he would sell me some for one hundred dollars a case. Thats pretty cheap for Imported stuff. And then you left him? I asked. Yes. He told me he was not go, ing to bed yet. Said someone was one. coming in about half-paHere was a new piece of evidence. Slyke, then, had not gone to bed after Lawrence left, bnt had waited np for some other visitor. It was curious, to say the least. One oclock in the morning is not a usual hour for receiving callers. Have you any Idea who it was? No, he said, shaking his head, I havent the least idea. As I was starting to go he said, Stay awhile. I am expecting a man about two, and have to wait up for him. . Thats all I know about it. It was not much of a clue, still it was better than nothing. It did establish the fact that there had been someone else with Slyke that night. That is, if he were telling the truth. The burning question in my mind was, who was that second person? Was he the one who had killed Slyke? The odds seemed to favor it. Lawrence had little further information to give me. He said that Slyke had not been especially nervous, nor had he acted like a man afraid of anything. I rose to go, but paused at a new There are scores of reasons why Petroleum Jelly should be household mainstay. A few of them are burns, sores, Misters, cuts.
