Wellg lay on the couch,
;The house wajs absolutely still. j
When I glanced at Sperry he was
staring at the ceiling, and I follower;
his eyes, but there was no mark on
it. Sperry made a little gesture.
"The detective and I put him there.
He was here." He showed a place On
the floOr midway of the room.

the house, and the situation between
them, isn't it barely possible that she
anticipated this thing?"
"We knew them," he said gruffly,
"whatever we anticipated, it wasn't
this."
Sperry had a pocket flash, and
when we found the door locked we
proceeded with our search for the
key.
"Here's the key," Sperry said, and
held it out. The flash wavered in his
hand, and his voice was strained.
We admitted ourselves.

PREPARE
For the Rainy Day
.. iM j: -v''v
That's an old proverb worth considering. Lit-
tle productive labor'can be accomplished dur-
ing rainy days—and they come to all at some
time in life.
If you had started saving years ago for these
inevitable "rainy days/' just think of the tidy
sum you would have now!
It's not too late—there are lots of days and
"years left. Profit by all the time you have-

here."
That struck him, too. We had both
been so obsessed with the sccne at
Mrs. Dane's that we had not thought
of anything else.
"Suppose you sit down in the
library," he said. "The chances ar-
ftfyainst her coining down, and ■ 'the
servants don't matter.*'
As a matter of fact, we learned
except the nursery governess. There
Inter that all the servants werff out
were two small children. There was
a-servants' ball somewhere, and, with
the exception of the butler, it .was
after two before they commenced to
straggle in. Except for two plain-
clothes men from the central office,
a physician who was With ElinOr in
her room^ and the governess, there
was no one else in the house but the
children, asleep in the nursery.
As I sat alone in the librbary, the
house was perfectly silent. But; in
some strange fashion It had appar^.
ently taken on the attributes of the*
deed that had preceded the silence. It
was sinister, mysterious, dark.
"Overwrought as I Was, I was forc-
ed to bring my common sense to bear
on the situation. Here Was a tragedy
a real and terrible one. Suppose we
had in some * queer fashion, touched
its outer edges that night ? Then
how was it that there had como, mix-
ed up with so much that might be
pertinent", $u§h exfete^ours and gro-
tesque things as a hurt knee, and
throing watches 4h£ pens about. '
I remember movihg impatiently,
and trying to argue myself into my
ordinary logical state of mind,/
know now that even then iVas
find the business will justify, they
will permanently locate here and
continue to' operate the Theater.
