Heath hesitated.
"Well, I guess not. You been work-
ing all day—and I didn’t tell you to
keep awake. But a guy’s been stabbed
right down the hall from you, and he
called for help—and now you know
nothin’ about It.” The sergeant shook
his head with disgust. "Well, go on
back and see If you can keep awake
for a while."
Burke went out
“My fault," the sergeant explained.
“After all, you can’t blame him, Mr.
Vance."
“Burke wouldn’t have been able to
help us anyway, I’m afraid,” Vance
consoled him. . . , "Suppogp we com-
mune with Gamble.”
The butler was brought In. IJa was
a pitiful figure as he stood before us
In questioning fear.
“How do you account for ihe fqct,"
Vance asked him, "that you could hear

Gamble swnllowed twice and braced
himself against the door.
“That is quite simple, sir," he said.
"Miss Lake’s boudoir Is at the roar
of the house and there’s a large parlor
between her boudoir and the door lead-
ing Into the hall. I, sir, leave my door
open on the fourth floor. In case the
front door bell should ring or I should
be called."
When Gamble had been sent hack to
the upper hall, Vance sighed and
crushed out his cigarette.
—fYVcll, that explains that. .. . Really,
y’ kno\y(< Markham, we don’t seem to
be moving with what might be called
precipitate rapidity."
lie lit $ fresh cigarette and stood up.
“I thlnji I’ll take a look at the rear
of the heuse. Would you care to stag-
ger along?’’
The'sergeant nodded sagely.
“Ypu think the guy that stabbed the
Italian got In the back way, do you,
Mr. Vance?"
“I have come to the conclusion. Ser-
geant,” Vance returned sadly, as he
went toward the door leading Into the
dining room, "that thinking at this
hour of the morning it a frightful
waste of effort." '
We followed him toward the kitchen.
As he opened the door leading Into
the butler’s pantry. I was surprised to
see ■ rectangular line .of light around
the kitchen door.
Vance halted momentarily.
”1 wonder . . .” he murmured, as
If to himself. And then: “No, no; Gam-
ble wouldn't have dared come near the
rear of the house—he’s In a blue
funk.”
lie proceeded across the pantry and
pushed open the swinging door Into
the kitchen.
Under the central light, seated at a
large table of white pine, was Liang,
fully dressed, and with a green eye-
shade pulled down to the bridge of
his nose. Before him on the table
were a pH* of books and many sheets
of scattered paper. Aa we entered he
rose and faced us, removing hla ey*•
shade, smiled pleasantly and made a
■tiff bow.
"Good evening, Mr. Liang,” Vance
greeted him amiably. "You’re working
rather late."
"I had many things to do tonight—
my work had accumulated. My month-

"You have been working all night
here in the kitchen?” Vance asked, go-
ing to the porch door and trjlng It.
(It was locked.)
"Since eight o’clock," the Chinaman
returned. “May I be of any service to

and perched himself on a high stool.

"Quite the contrary. It " *

There waa no change of expression
on the Chinaman’s face aa he an-
swered: “That Is mo*t unfortunate."
"Ye*. ye*, quite," Vance's tone waa
■lightly Irritable. “But did you, by any
chance, hear anyone or see anyone en-
ter the rear door this evening?"
Liang shook hla head slightly in a
■Jow and Indifferent negative.
“No," he said. “No one, to my
knowledge, entered by the rear door.
. . . Perhaps the front door—’*
“Many thanka for the suggestion.”
Vance Interrupted with a shrug; “but
therd’a been some one guarding It.”
“Ah I” The Chinaman moved hla
eyes a little until they rested on a
point somewhere above Vance’a head.
“That la Indeed Interesting. . . . Per-
haps the den window—”
“An excellent suggestion t Our grat-
itude, and all that, Mr. Liang,” Vance
murmured. “I’ll have a look at the
window. . . . Pray continue with your
work." And he, led the way back
through the dining rqom Into the li-
brary.
"Well, what about It?" grumbled
Heath. “A swell lot you learned from
that Chink."
“Still, Sergeant," Vance returned, “It
wns kind of Mr. Liang to suggest the
den window. Why not take a peep at
It?"
Heath hesitated, squinted, and then
went swiftly across the hall Into the
drawing room. We could hear him
open the den door and walk heavily
across the small room. A few momenta
later he returned to the library,
“There’s something d—n queer about
this," he announced. "Maybe the Chink
was right, after all. The den window
was open—and the sofa that waa in
front of it was pulled out at a cock-
eyed angle." He glanced at Markham
helplessly. “Maybe somebody did get
In and out of that window, Chief. . . .
Anyhow, where do w* go from here?"
“Home and to bed, my dear Pepys,"
■aid Vance. “This Is no hour for re-
spectable people to be up. There's
nothing more to be done here.”
CHAPTER IX
The Six Judges.
Vance rose early that morning. I
myself wa* around at nine o'clock and
was surprised to And him In street
clothes and on the point of leaving the
house.
“I’ll be back in half an hour, Van,”
he said, as he went out, but gave no
further explanation.
Fifteen minutes later Markham ar-
rived, and he had waited but ten min-
utes when Vance came In. He was
carrying the Scotch terrier bitch In
his arms. There was a dressing on her
head held In place by adhesive tape,
but otherwise she seemed alert and
well.
"Morning, Markham," Vance greeted
the district attorney. "Really, y’ know,
I didn’t expect you ao early. I’ve Just
toddled over t6 Doctor Blarney’s- to
see bow the little Scotch lassie was
getting along—and here she la."
Markham looked at him skeptically.
“You still think you can trace the
person we want through that dog?”
"It’a our only hope.” Vance told him
seriously. “The case la far too com-
plicated aa It stands—there are to?
many contradictions. I am sure that
you, as a prosecuting attorney, could
pin the various crimes on any one of
three or four people. Bat until I have
traced the ownership and peregrlna-
tions of this Scnttle. I shan't be satla-
fled.”
Markham frowned. "Just how do
you intend to go about It?”
"As I told you, Markham, this little
bitch Is In perfect show condition.
She’s been trimmed and conditioned
by an expert, and It seems pretty cer-
tain that she’s been entered In some
show recently. My guess Is, from her
condition, that she’s been shown within
the last month. And It’a simple enough
to And what shows have been held
within' a reasonable radius of New
York during that period."
ne went Into the library and re-
turned with his file of Popular Doga.
Sitting down in his easy chair he
began running his finger down the cal-
endar of official dog shows.
"Now. let’s see," he murmured. “Dur-
ing the paat month there has been
held around New York the show at
Syracuse—make a note of tbese, will
you, Van? Then came the Cornwall
show; and after that. Tuxedo, And a
week later waa the Camden show,
which was followed by VVestbury, and
alto the Englewood show. . . . That
brings us pretty well up to date, and
they are all possibilities. This dog Is
too young to have won any Important
Mu# ribbons, and therefore my guess
would ba that her entries would hav#
been In the puppy and novice classes.
It’a not an Important matter, al-
though It limits and facilitates my In-
vestigation somewhat"
"It sounds like shooting Into the
dark." Mdrkham was far - from con-
vinced.
“You’re right, to a certain extent,"
Vance agreed. “But there’s a simpler
way of determining the dog’s owner-
*hlp—and I shall try that first"
Vance stood looking down at the
bandaged Scottle. „
“The more 1 see of her, MUrkhaov
the more I’m convinced that there are
only about five men In this part of
the country who could have done eucb
a perfect Job of trimming. William
Prentice could have dene it; and
George Wimberly, and Jluimy McNab,
and Ellery Burke, and Steve Parton.”
Vance walked round the dog several
times, studying bar. \
“Wimberly la In Boston, ao ire may
eliminate him on the "'grounds of dis-
tance. McNab la wdrklng In a private
capacity for a kennel on Long lafepd,

Both Burke and Parton are fairly dis-
tant from New York, although they
are certainly possibilities,"
He knelt down and ran hla hand
over the contour of the dog'a neck
and lifted the hair along the aplne.
Then he stood up.
"William Prentice I That’s the chap.
That outline of the neck and the hack
hns been achieved by a master hand,
and there's no greater master at that
In this country than Prentice. Fur-
thermore, he's only a short distance
from New York. ... I think I’ll try
him first.' If he did trim this dog he
muy be able to give us some Informs-
lion as to her ownership."
As soon as Markham had left ua
that morning, we drove te Mr. Pren-
tice’s famous Marine kennels at Ha-
worth, N. J. Mr. Prentice took one
look at the dog In Vance’s arms.
"How d’ ye do, Mr. Vance,” was hi*
greeting. (Vance had known him for
years.) “A good one, yon bitch."
“You know her, theu?" asked Vance
eagerly.
"Ay."
“And you trimmed her?"
“Ay."
“And about how long ago might that
be?"
“I couldns say exactly, but It was
after the first of September.”
"Whose bitch I* It?"
“That I couldna say. A lady and a
gentleman drove up one afternoon and
asked me If I could trim the dog at
once. I said ‘ay,’ and I trimmed It"
Vance seemed disappointed.
"What sort of man brought the dog
to you? Could you describe him?"
“Ay. He waa • large man, around
fifty, and he had little enough to aay.”
"And the woman?"
"She was young and not difficult to
look at"
“A blonde?"
“Ay."
“Ills daughter, perhaps?"
A shiewd twinkle came Into the
Scotsman1* eyes.
“I hae me (foots,” was all he vouch-
safed.
Vance seemed In better spirits.
“In any event. Van.” he said, “we
can now go ahead with a certain as-
surance of success. If only Prentice
had taken the owner’s name and ad-
dress, bow simple everything would
have been."
Returning tb his apartment, hA,tele-
phoned to the American Kennel club
and obtained the namea of the Scot-
tish terrier Judges In the six shows he
had selected aa the moat likely onea
where tbe bitch might hare been ex-
hibited.
The atx Judges turned out to be Mar-
guerite KIrmse, Karl B. Smith, Edwin
Megargee, William MacBaln, Morgan
Stinemetz, and Robert D. Hartshorne.
Vance glanced down the list of
names he had made.
“Now, let us see what we can find
out.” _
lie turned to the telephone and kept
It busy for the best part of half an
hour. Then he ros* and took the dog
in hla arms. /
“Come, Van, our Itlner’ry begins."
Mr. Hartshorne, Vance’s first selec-
tion, showed a keen Interest In the
dog and went over her carefully. But
he could not remember having Judged
her In the show at which he had offi-
ciated. He aald he would have been
sure to have remembered her because
of her outstanding qualities; but he
waa unable to give ua any help.
Mr. MacBaln was not Th hla office
that day and Mr. Karl Smith waa
unable to help ua. He was quite sure
that the dog had Dot been shown under
him; ao we went to call on Mr. Meg-
argee.
But here again we met with disap-
pointment, for he waa not able to
Identify the dog as having been en-
tered In the show at which he Judged.
Things began to appear discourag-
ing, and Vance was not tn the best
humor as we drove to the eaatalde
winter studio of Mrs. Marguerite
KIrmse Cole. But to no avail. Mrs.
Cole waa positive the dog had not been
an entry under her Judgeship.
It was past four In the afternoon
when we arrived at Mr. William Mac-
Rains Diehard kennel* tn Closter,
N. J. Mr. MacBaln showed an Intense
Interest In the dog that Vance had
brought to him. but wa* unable to
Identify her. Vance had drawn another
blank tn hi* Investigation of v the
wounded dog’s ownership.
* He had succeeded In locating the
New Yorl( office of Mr. Stinemetz, but,
on phoning, learned that he wa* not
in the city that day but could un-
doubtedly be foudd at bis country
home.
“This Is slmost our last chance,”
Vane* observed dejectedly, “—unless
the dog has he)n shows In New Eng-
land or the Strath. But If thst were
the case, whyjk she here In New York
now?"
He was downcast; I realised for the
first time how much he had counted on
this stray Scottish terrier to help hla
In fhe solution of the crime which was
perplexing him. But It was Just at

jed her. Ur. Stlnemets looked at
closely for a moment, took her In
his arms and stood her on the show
table In hla main kennel.
"Ye*," he Bald slowly, after a min-
ute’s inspection; “I not only Judged
heri but I put ber up, three weeks
ago at Englewood. She won tbs pup-
py bitch class, and I would have given
ber a first Instead of a second tn th*
Dovltto class. If she had shown prop-
erty. But, ns I rtmember, some young
woman with little or no experience
brought her Into the ring. Naturally,
she could get no response from tbe
dog. I tried to help her out, but It
was hopeless; and I had to give the
blue to a bitch that had the style and
the ring manners, but who wasn’t
quite this one’s equal In anatomy. . . .
There was one slight fault 4n tbs
mouth, however."
Mr. Stinemetz held back the dog’s
lips, exposing her teeth.
“You see this upper Incisor: it’s out
of place. But It’s not a serious fault
There’s many a champion with a much
worse mouth."
Vance thanked him for his help and
sdded: “Do you happen to know what
bitch this is, or who own* her?”
Mr. Stinemetz shook hi* head.
“No, I never saw her before—sh*
must be a newcomer. I didn’t see a
catalogue of the show and there were
no postmortems at the Judge’s table
after the ahow.”
Vance left Mr. 8tlnemetz’a kennels
In a much happier.frame of mind.
“Tomorrow,” he said, aa we drove
home through the gathering dusk, “we
will know the owner's name."
l minwl i :i t»• i y 111 ■.»11 I'ur arrival In
New York, Vance telephoned to Mark-
ham at bis home, and learned tbat
there had been no developments In th*
esse during the day. Grassl had re-
turned to the Coe house at eleven
o'clock that morning, evidently very
little tbe worse for his experience of
the previous night. He had wished to
go to a hotel, but Markham had pre-
vailed upon him to remain at the Coo
residence until iome light had filtered
Into the case, and Grassl bed reluc-
tantly agreed to do ao.
