We do' It without thinking, because It is a subconscious act; and, as a rule, we draw the same set of figures each time Some one, having nothing to do, idly s on this knife scratched handle, hardly conscious of what he as doing. I believe the same person made the figures on the magazine and on the knife. . Why do you think that?" I asked. It had been scientifically proved that when a person plays with a pencil and idly draws figures, he always ('raws the same ones; and that they are symbols of something deep In his subconscious mind. These circles ate o much alike that I think they were drawn by the same person. I had a dim Idea I had heard something similar to what he was saying In college, but just what It was I could not remember. As I started to band him the knife, It slipped through my fingers and fell to the floor and stood quivering, Its point Imbedded In the wood. With a sudden exclamation, Bartley picked it up and, to my astonishment, let It fall again and cg.iin. Each time the point stuck In the floor. Then he balanced it on his hand, smiling to himself. As he replaced It In his bag, he said, I am glad you dropped that knife, Pelt It seemed to me such an inane thing We to say that I made no comment nre going over to Slykes again, he cmtinued, to see Miss Potter.

Its a puppy, and active, and does not like ui:y - i.mgers. The person that killed Syce, as far as we know, had to ceme down those long stairs and pass through the living room where the dog was. If it was some one from outside, that dog should have barked. But as far as we can find out, he nc.er made a sound. It looks to me, I suggested, as If the murder were committed by some one in the house. Bartley did not answer until he had opened the door Into the hall, then lie puused to say, "There seems to be no motive for any of the family to have hilled Slyke. The little difficulty belt. ecn Miss Potter and Slyke does not eem important enough to consider. Hie will has been found and all the property Is accounted for. His lawyer, you remember, discovered a large sum of money in the safe when It was Then he proceeded downopened. stairs. It was only a short drive In Bartleys fast car to the. Slyke house. He ottered no explanation of our call, and I bid my curiosity as well as I could. As soon as the butler had gone, Bartley came at once to the object of his visit. Misjs Potter," he said, the butler testified this afternoon that he overheard words between Mr. Slyke and yourself. Would you mind telling me wl.at they were? Her face flushed, but she kept her eyes on Bartley as she Replied coldly: The butler was mistaken. Mr. Slyke and myself never quarreled. Oh, I dont mean, that you actually quarreled, but , that you had some ' words. Her eyes dropped under his searching gaze, and It was not until he had repented his question 8 second time that she answered rather reluctantly: There was no no trouble. What the ' butler spoke of had nothing to do with Mr. Slykea death. Bartley noticed her hesitation, and naked suddenly, Was It over his selling whisky?" ' She started and her face paled, then flushed. In a low voice she demanded, How did you know? That Is not of much importance, Is it? I am right; that was what the ords were about, wasnt it? She gave him an appealing look, then glanced back at the floor. At lust she regained her composure, and, Yes. raising her eyes, answered, ti nt was what the butler heard us trl.ing about It was not a quarrel. I told him he would get Into trouble over the whisky, and he told me It tvaa none of my business. When did he start to sell it?" I am She thought for a moment in t sure. You see, I know very little about It. But before the prohibition law enme Into effect he bought a groat quantity of whisky. He told me that a man who had whisky could make a lot of money. He got several truck loads, but where he kept It I v dont know." "And after prohibition, did he buy any more? Bartley asked. I think so. I think it came from Canada. He told me once or twice that he was making a great deal of money out of It. And you quarreled over his selling it? Bather warmly she answered, We never quarreled. It was not my affair. I felt bad, of course, that he should do a thing like that. I warned him that he would get Into trouble, mi he told me It was none of my business if he did. That must have 1 ten what the butler heard. Bartley glanced sharply at her. Have you any idea who helped him In Xo that is I neves knew. I did itr think that maybe" Oowrisht MS hr Dodd, Mead HARMONIES Cs. laa. She stopped and Bartley suggested, You thought It was the chauffeur? Yes, I did. I know that Mr. Slyke bought a truck, and that the chauffeur would have long talks with him In his room, and then take the truck and be away for several days. In the last year or so he became overbearing, and I wondered why Mr. Slyke kept him unless there was something between them. I was not surprised. Everything had seemed to lead np to this revelation. What I could not understand was why a man In Mr. Slykes' position should be engaged in the illegal selling of whisky, and take this chauffeur Into his confidence. Whisky bought In any quantity, since prohibition, had to come from Canada, and passed through the hands of a number of men. Was his engaging In selling whisky a problem In Itself, or ' had It some bearing on bis death?" Miss Potter had little more to tell ns, and we rose to take our leave. As Bartley took his hat, he asked her If she had been using the oulja board. She was at once excited, her eyes gleamed, and her voice rose as she responded : Yes, I received a message from Mr. Slyke. I know It was from him. He has written twice, You will hear from me and I know I will. I am going to get a good medium to come and see what he wants to communicate to me. To my surprise Bartley listened gravely, almost reverently. When she had finished, he said he knew of a very good medium and would try to arrange for him to come to the house for a seance If she desired. This proposal pleased Miss Potter very much, and she 'accepted at once. She told us that many people In Saratoga be lieved In spiritualism, Including Doc tor King. For a while they discussed various manifestations ; and I listened to Bartley In astonishment, as he told of receiving messages from the dead, for I knew he did not believe in them. We were Interrupted by a knock, and the butler entered with a telegram for Bartley. It had been sent The Boy I Wished to See Sleuehed Out From a Back Room. first to Curries, and he had directed the boy to follow ns to Slykes. Bartley tore open the envelope and ran his eyes over the paper. I saw him start, then without a word he handed it to me, and I read: Arrested in New York one oclock this mornlnc Jacob Asher with truck load of whisky. Claims he paid Slyks 123,000 for It afternoon before his death. Saw him about dive o'clock. Did not know Slyke was dead till he read papers. Story seems ' ROGERS. to be true. No wonder Hartley had started. Here at last might be a motive for the murder. Perhaps the man In New York could tell us what had happened that night. With grave face Bartley took the telegram from my hand, and reread It; then he asked Miss Potter if Slyke had had a visitor the afternoon before his death. She said she did not know whether he had or not, as she had been After away most of the afternoon. a few more questions, we bade her good-nigIn the doorway Bartley paused to say something to her, In so low a tone that I could not catch his words; but I did hear her eager answering Yes. As we climbed Into the car and started down the road, I said that J did not suppose she knew anything about the $23,000 whisky deal. His answer was as quick as a flash: I never thought she did. The strange thing Is that In the safe, after his death, his lawyer should find $10,000, and that he should have made a deposit of $13,000 that same afternoon. We rode In silence for a while. Then he startled me by saying that he was not going back to Curries, but to New York to Interview the man arrested with the whisky, and that he would not be back until the next afternoon. It was not until we were at the station, waiting for his train, that-Interrupted his preoccupation to ask If he thought It would ever who had killed Brlffeur.
