CHAPTER VII through them and tell the cause of our trouble. "Shakespeare was right when he said, We are such stuff as dreams are made of, Bartley added In a quizzical tone as he paused to relight his Miss Potter dreamed more cigar. than once that Slyke had been killed. We are told a dream is a suppressed wish, and that in our dreams our wishes are' often hidden by symbols. This woman probably did not wish She had no Slyke actually dead. quarrel with him as far as I know. What she did wish was entirely different. She wished that he might be away80 that he would be out of some trouble, and her suppressed wish caused her to dream that he was dead. Thats the reason why I believe that she knows more than she Continued. 12 "It looks," I commented, "as If whoever committed the crime did not pass through the living room. Bartley gave me a disgusted look. "Or else, Pelt, the dog knew him. The .imly way to reach the room where Slyke slept was up those stairs, and to reach the stairs he had to pass through the living room. Remember this, too, Lawrence said that Slyke not going to bed. but expected , was another visitor. The butler says the dog was in the room with him when he let Lawrence out Suppose the other visitor came. If Slyke himself admitted him, the dog would have 4robably barked at least once that is, unless he knew him." Then It might have "been someone will tell. In the house, I suggested.' What can It be?" I asked. Bartley assented, and we discussed I dont know, but It Is something the various persons In the household. First, we both agreed that the shot that .was causing a great deal of trouble to Slyke, perhaps to all of them. It might even be something that will bring dishonor. Anyway, It was so serious that, sleeping or waking, It was on her mind. I wish she would talk; we need all the light we can get But that does not actually prove that she knows anything about his death, I suggested. Bartley turned quickly and glanced at me to see If I were serious. Seeing that I was, he explained: I dont say that it does. The oulja board performances and the dreams were before his death, not after It Of course, the fact that the dog did not bark throws suspicion on everyone that was In the house at 'the time. He was silent for a whlleC glancing thoughtfully out of the window, and then resumed his story. After I left him, he had locked himself to the tower for over an hour and gone over the two rooms and the balcony almost Inch by Inch. The only first thing that had escaped us search, he said, was a small stopper, the end covered with red wax. He was not sure whether the finding of the stopper meant anything or not.

The room had been too dark for her to see very clearly. Nor was that all that she had told him which had disagreed with the accounts of the burglary that Rogers had given us. He had said that she had aroused Slyke and told him that burglars were downstairs; while in her story to Bartley she stated that,after she heard the noise in the. living room, she went to the door of Slykes room to call him. but found It empty. When she saw him he was standing on the lower step of the stairs leading to the living room. There had evidently been a struggle, and a gun went off just 'before she reached him. It was she who had called the police, and Slyke had opposed her doing so as nothing had . been taken. You see how it looks, Pelt," he said with a grin. Slyke did not want the police In at all. He did not wish any action taken, either then or later. He was nearer the, men than anyone else, yet he swore he could not Identify them. That makes me believe that he knew who they were and did not want the matter looked step-daught- er Into. Did the girl tell you who found that piece of newspaper T I asked. She said It was the chauffeur who had called their attention to It. The police do not seem to have made any search that night, or In fact until noon the next day. Then, with the help of the chauffeur and the butler, they searched ' the' living room, and the chauffeur directed their attention to a piece of paper lying on the floor, half under a rug. Of course, you see what that leads to. For hours that room had been unguarded, and any one who wished could have gone to there. Even the piece of cloth was not found for several days, strangely enough; nor did the police find the footprints under the window until three days later, although they claimed they had searched the spot before. I broke In with, That looks. In other words, as If "As If some one wished to send those men to jail, he fyilshed for me.
