‘By-the-by. Mr. Rignal,’ I said. taking tip my hat to leave. ‘ it is reported that you had a violent quarrel with the deceased the evening before the murder—is it true ?' .

‘ It was not it violent quarrel; it is true we had some words. The fact is. Mable-realm was a very exacting man. He came into my store and com- plained about the hydrant in the yard being out of repair. and contended tliat as I occupied the ground floor. it was my duty to repair it. the expense ought to be shared between us. especially as he used the hydrant more than I did. One thing led on to another. and some sharp—but not violat— words passed between us.’

‘The difliculty has been a good deal magnified. Did any one hear this quarrel ?‘

‘ There were two or three people in the store.‘

‘ I‘hat's rather unfortunate ; but I must leave you now. for I have a good‘dsnl to do. Good-by. You shall hear of me in a day.‘

a short flight of steps led out to the roof.

I contended thafli‘rom the steps. owing to a piece of wood having been

broken away. I immediately recognised this piece of stuff to ho a portion of a glove. It was evident that some one while descending the ladder had caught his glove in the nail, and on withdrawing his hand. a piece of the glove had remained behind. The circumstance: convinced me that the place had been recently visited.

I also discovered another important fact—the opening made by the removal of the trap—door. gave a person a perfect commend over the bed, and nothing was more easy than to shoot aperson rc- elining there from that situation. I had no doubt in my mind but it was from this spot that the murder had been committed.

I had now decided two facts—the weapon and the place—another followed from thiswwlioever had committed the deed. must have known the premises thoroughly. But there was still another important point to be settled. How did the murderer reach the trap-door? It was evident it could not have been through the dcceaacd's chamber.
