V Murder could liotliiii

Robin's mind was in a turmoil. lie could hardly bring himself to be- lieve all she had told him—a.nd 1'9? there was something beyond her beauty about Laurette Dexter; some dauntless. fine-steel quality of character which impressed him be- yond logic.

"Yes; you can count me in with you." he said.

For the first time in their con- versation that morning she smiled.

“I might have known I could-- I think I did know." she answered. impulsively extending her hand. As he clasped it, she added: “will. see him—hear his story from him- self? I must go to him. The pot»: man must be hungry~—l slept so late I wasn't able to take him up breakfast as I intended."

Robin nodded agreement. They leit the room together. and alter a preliminary survey made their -way quietly upstairs. None of the ser- units was in evidence. on the top landing they moved along the uncarpeted floor or the passage. Laurette, with a bunch of keys in her hand. advanced to a door; knocked wamingiy; selected and inserted a key in the lock. and as quietly as p055lble: turned it. The key turned over without any feel or resistance. A look or astonish- ment crossed her face as she rea- lised that the door had already been unlocked. she looked ht Rob- in in alarm. then entered. and Rob- in, following her, heard her utter a gasp. He went in beside her to dis- cover the cause.

The room, which was lit only by one small window place right in the center of the slanting ceiling. was unoccupied. The one chair the room contained was overturned. one oi.’ its legs having been broken off, and on the dusty, uncovered wood- en tloor were traces of slithering feet.

"Oh. Robin. what can have hap- ened? Laurette stammered blank-

ly.

"God knows," Robin answered soberly, as he saw some small dark stains beside the plain couch set against the wall. some rugs and pillows on it were tossed untidily over it and the floor. He stooped down and touched one of the stains with a finger. “l3lood." he said quietly, looking up at her. no straightened himself and faced hcr. "There seems to have been a pretty fierce scrap. There's been more than one visitor here."

“But what can it mean? I—I-—" She halted. her eyes wide open in suspicious dread.

"That's what we have got to find out," he replied grimly. "Steady now‘. We may get some sort of clue."

He looked up at the window. drew a finger along the lower part of the woowork; then shook his head.

"Nothing came in or went out there. that's certain. some marks would have shown. see--that dust hasn't been distributed at all... Well. it can‘t have been the police who collared him—that's clear. so we eliminate that. You'd have heard all about it if that had been the case. 80 it it's kidnapping it‘s been done from inside the house. There's either a traitor in your

camp or an entry has been forced or made somehow. You say you had the only key of this room?"

'‘So far as I know."

'‘That‘s true. The lock hasn't been forced or anything?" Robin con- tinued, stepping across to examine it. “No; the door has been opened in the ordinary way—t.he bolt has been turned back without any dam- age being done. A key or an expert lock picker. It must have been opened by someone with another key or a lever. It's an ordinary simple look. What servants are there in the house?"

"A cook-housekeeper—sn elderly person. Mrs. Deeming—and two servant girls. Mary and Elsie. and my own maid. Beaten. There’: also Ethridge. the valet-chauffeur. lie was taken on with the cer—it's only hliéeri by the month--but he lives ou ."

Robin pondered for a moment.

"I‘m afraid this is where our troubles begin," he said. “It must have been one of your own house- hold who opened this door or let. the people in -who did. You heard no sound of a struggle?"

"No I remember nothing after I got into bed, until I was wakened with difficulty this morning by Mary to Weak on the telepho ."

"What's underneath here?" Rob- in asked, stamping on the floor.

“A bedr noccupied."

"You're not what you'd can 5 heavy sleeper. are you?"

"Far from it. As a matter of fact. for the past week I have been

sleeping very badly. .1 can under- 2'

stand how I hear nothing. for my bc<‘iroom's also on the floor below, although at the front."

“Had you anything to drink 1,.-,. rm you went up to bed? You know. 1 lm Mginning to suspect you may have been drugged. It ‘ gm. testlc. but—weil. if there has been someone helping from imide—"

"I didn't -want to say it, but 1 was beginning to have the same suspic- ion myself." Laurette returned. "This headache. the fact that I slept so soundly and so late-.,g all seems so queer."

"Y°|- Watt‘! the word. Did you have anything to ai-inn"

"Yes: that's the moat curious part or it. I took only a clan or not rnlllr. I generally have that as a nlghtcap."

ded. “there was a great lot or traffic." In the rocking chair, we sewed substantial patches on ihe heels of Jamie's worn socks, and made ship-shape the knees of the younger lad's overalls. “Faith and it's of iron they should be making the knees of young ones‘ trousers —and seats!" we remembered then with a smile the words of a wo- man or the long ago. obliged to sew many a stitch for her mas- culine brood, as we set the new pieces in place. Grists were is-ken to the mill; logs too for the Spring sawing. One man turned back the years by hauling sand to eiifect a work of repair to his farmer‘: boiler, in order to place cooked potatoes on'his hogs’ bills-of-fare. And at a piggery here a young sow. about to go out to make her own way and reputation in the world of por- cines was ear-marked in a cere- mony that was interesting. if a bit fearful to the three-year-old bystander. "Put a good wish on her!" we laughed to Rob. as her new owner drove out along the lane "your father always sends the like with such sales!" It was on Rob's behalf and in a belated work that our farmers collected loads of lire-wood this atternoon- irees that had been cut by the roadside in a project of Winter clearing. the teams drawing them to a heap close to the scene of the cutting. in a field "out home."

And by day-showers. And now. no star. no moon. A night dark and damp. and veiled by fog.
