After a short consideration, I
■;. •■lilnl in go at once to Mihh
■. inliiuT and ask her for the
.ruth. It was nearly dinner time,
-o I waited until after tke meal
wan over, when I a.ikea Aer to
confer with Tom Whltin? and
m> aelf. She agreed willingly
enough and we went to the music
room.
"I'm going to tell you frankly
why we asked for this conference
Wtu you, Miss Gardiner," I be-
BM, "i bave learned that you
lave just sent a letter to Mr.
John Jiiduon."
"Have I not a right to send let
tors to whom I choose?"
"You certainly have. But when
.;iih a letter proves that you
know the address of the man we
ire looking for, I have a right to
.isk you what you know of him.
and why you conceal from us the
iiict that you do know him. To
begin with," I continued, "I'm
positive that John Jiulson it the
nun who shot Philip and Mil
dred."
"And I am equally positive ho
liil not!" declared Irene, her eyes
Ma/iiiK: "and I can prove It!"
"You can!" exclaimed Tom
Whiting. "You know this. Juq
■M, then, Miss Gardiner?"
"Yes, I know him very well."
"Then you know he was an en
emy of Philip?"
"Not exactly an enemy, though
1 know they never liked each otT.
<t. But since Mr. Judson is safe
ly away, 1 will tall you the whole
story. He linn been a friend of
mine for some years, and though
he has asked me several times to
marry him, I have always refusPil
him. Last week he went to see
me at my home in New York, and
lhoy told him I was down here.
He was making a motor trip with
Mr. Mordaunt, and on their way
to Atlantic C.ity, they Htopped
here at Mr. Judson's request. He
wrote me that he wanted to see
me. once more before he went
West, but he did not care to
meet Philip. So I wrote him that
I would he on the upper veranda
Monday night at 10 o'clock, and
that he might come up by the lit
tle outside staircase, and thus he
need not see Philip at all. He
drd this, and it was Mr. Mor
il:iiinl s car that the earl saw that
night." ',
"Then Judson did come up oa
the veranda. Monday night at 10
o'clock," said Tom Whiting; "and
vet you say he had nothing to do
with the shooting!"
"Absolutely nothing," said
Irene. "We were on tho other
side of tlie house from the lilSrary
and he remained with IBS not
more than two minutes."
"Why such a short stay-?" ask
ed Tom.
"Because—because I was cry
ing when he came, and I didn't
want to see him anyway, and I
liogged him to go away at ontt."
"What were you crying about?"
asked Whiting gently.
"I was upset and nervous, and
1 couldn't control myself."
"You have heard from Mr. Jud-
Kon since?"
"Yes —and of course he has
heard of the murder, but lie has
no idea he was suspected of It. I
wanted him to get away, for to
detain him and make Inquiries,
would only mean trouble for an
innocent man. So I wrote him
and warned him to start West at
once."
"It is a strange story, Miss
(lardlner," said Tom, "but of
course I do not doubt your word."
"You need not," said Irene,
haughtily. "I have told only the
exact truth. If I have concealed
this episode, it is only because I
didn't wish Mr. Judson's name
brought into question at nil."
We talked for some time after
this, and we agreed that as Jun
son was now out of It, we must
look in some other direction.
But I determined to do a little
more investigating by myself. I
went up to the library, hoping
that from the scene of the crime
I could get some hint of which
direction to turn.
As I sat there, something
brought back to my mind the
black spangles. The maid who
had found the earl's seal must
have overlooked the tiny spangles
as I found them later. But she
might have found others of the
same sort when she had dusted
the room, and I determined to ask
her.
I went in search of her and put
the question. At first she could
not remember, and then she rec
ollected having picked up two or
three near the window.
"Have you any idea," I said,
"where they could have come
from?"
"Oh, I know where they have
come from," she said quickly;
"they are from the fan of Miss
Gardiner."
"How do you know?"
"Because Miss Gardiner carried
the black fan that evening. Site
left it on a seat on the veranda,
and I found it and put It again In
her room."
Here war something definite.
Kor I remembered distinctly thtt
Miss Gardiner went to her mom
to get that fan just before she
and I walked together on the up
per veranda. \ Then I left her, aitd
she remained up there, and .lud
son found her there, cry Inf.
Meantime, some spangles frop
that fan had been dropped fey the
library window!
1 did not like to face her with
these facts and ask an explana
tion. But it seemed to me thsj
I must do this, before going any
further.
So I went on my distasteful er
rand, and found Miss Oardlner in
the music room with MIM Max-1
"You ynow," I said, speaking
to the girl, "it Is our duty to in
vestigate every possible clue." j
"Of course," said Irene, ball
she trembled nervously.
"Then I will show you tJ^BP
spangles." I said, takla«_ t^H
from my pocketboofc and mplaTH
Ing where I had found them.
"And you think that turns m^B
ptaton toward me?" Irene rfi^H
and stood with Manning V^H

They may have been dropped In
the library; but I was In and out
of that room during the early
evening, long before the time of
the tragedy."
"But you didn't have the fan
with you, then," I pretested; "be
cause I remember you went to
your room tor it, when you and I
were together after our dance."
Miss Gardiner awayed as if
about faint. Miss Maxwell sprang
to her aid, and led her from the
room.
"I can't have this poor girl tor
tured, Peter," said the gentle old
ludy, and they went away, leaving
me to face a new suspicion that
was as unwelcome as it was unex
pected.
CHAPTER X.
Ked Ink Spot*.
1 resolved to say nothing more
about the fun or the spangles to
any member of the household, but
to lay the case before Hunt, when
lie came over to the house the
next morning;.
To my surprise, he did not seem
at all impressed with the Idea of
Miss Gardiner beini; Implicated.
"You let your Idea of clues r.un
away with you, Mr. King," na
said. "NOW, it seems to me if
we're going to look for our man
through any clues, we'd better
consider that red ink. When Miss
Leslie threw that inkstand, and so
much ink was spilled on the rug,
it Is extremely probable that some
also spattered on the coat of the
assailant."
"Well, It seems to me," I said,
"that that's about the most elu
sive clue you could think of."
"Perhaps you're right," agreed
Hunt, "hut all the same I shall
try to find that coat."
Then Tom Whiting and his wife
appeared at the library door.
"We want you to go Vith us for
a motor ride, Mr. King," said
Edith Whiting to me. "Tom in
sists on my going', and we are tak
ing Irene with us."
It seemed pathetic to ride away
in Philip's big automobile, but as
Tom Whiting had said, the ladles
really needed some fresh air, and
he thought the trip would do us
all good.
Mr. and Mrs. Whiting sat in
front, for Tom was quite as good
a chauffeur an Philip hud been;
and Miss Gardiner and 1 sat be
hind.
An there was ample room for
another, Irene proposed that we
stop for Gilbert Crane. This we
did, and he seemed glad to accept
the invitation.
On our return, Mrs. Whiting
asked Mr. Crane to come in to
luncheon with us, and he accepted.
He alighted before I did, and as
he stood waiting to help Miss Gar
diner out, the midday sunlight
shone full upon him.
I looked at him curiously,
thinking what a large, fine-lqok
ing fellow he was, and how be
coming his fashionable automo
bile coat was to him. Its color
was a light brownish gray, and as
my eye rested idly upon it, I sud
denly noticed something that
made my heart stand still.
On the front of this same coat,
on the lower edge, were several
small spots, visible only In the
brightest sunlight, which, what
ever they might be, had every ap
pearance of being red ink.
I went into the house with the
rest, and, finding that Mr. Hunt
had gone, I sent a note to him,
asking him to return.
He came just as we finished
luncheon, and, bidding him go
into the library, I picked up Gil
!>ert Crane's coat from the hat
stand where he had flung it, and
hastened to the library.
I found Hunt there, and after
closing the door I held the front
of the coat toward the window to
catch the bright sunlight, and
drew Hunt's attention to the al
most invisible spots on it.
He looked at licm in silence a
moment, and then said, abruptly:
"(let some more blotters."
We dampened the blotters and
applied them. The results showed
strong evidence tlr&t the stains
were similar to those on the car
pet.
"Whose coat Is It?" said Hunt,
though I think he knew.
"Gilbert Crane's," I answered,
looking straight at the detective.
"Shall I call Crane up here and
ask him If ho can explain these
spots on his coat? Somehow, I
can't help thinking that he could
do so."
"Not yet," said Mr. Hunt. "I
think it wiser to straighten out a
few points before we speak to Mr.
Crane on the subject. Please bring
Miss Gardiner here."
I followed Mr. Hunt's sugges
tions to the letter, but 1 was dis
turbed at bis request for Irene.
Finding Mrs. Whiting In the
hall, I asked her so say to Miss
Gardiner that Mr. Hunt desired
to see her in the library. I re
turned to the library myself.
I found Hunt making a tabulat
ed statement of certain facts.
"You see, Mr. King," he said,
with a very grave face, "while
these things are not positively in
criminating, they nre serious ques
tioriH which need clearing up.
"Granting that the bronze horse
was thrown at the intruder and
replaced on the desk before you
entered the room that night, we
must allow that it was picked up
ami replaced by somebody. Miss
Leslie was incapable of this.
"Gilbert Crane was the first to
find out that 1 the tragedy had oc
curred. There is no witness to
say what he might or might not
have done In this room. It is
possible, therefore, that he re
stored the horse to it* place."
"And the Inkstand?"
I "You remember that Gilbert
Crane insisted on spending the
night in this bouse. Is It not,
therefore, conceivable that he
ahouldlytf waited until every one
|el|^|^^Tone home, or retired to
■B^rooms, and that he should
mien have com* to the library,
'found the empty stand, refilled It,
kod replaced ttT"
[ "BuVLsaid I, in wtter amaze
[men i. "if he*4M not commit the
Ipiime, why shoirtd he bo jk> care
[tnl about these dehrile?" ;
■U am not sure," said Mr. Hunt
role*, "that he did not
fey** «rUM." i
CHAPTER XI.
Irene Telia the Trutlt.
t was still bewildered at the
possibilities suggested, when a tap
wm heard at the library door. Mr.
Hunt admitted Miss Gardiner.
"Hit down, Miss Gardiner," s«id
Hunt, kindly. "1 wish to ask you
a few questions."
"In your testimony. Miss Gar
diner," began Mr. Hunt, "you de
claied that you did not leave the
spot where you were sitting, on
the east end of the balcony, the
night of the murder, until you
came Into the house, at about half
past 10. Are you still prepared to
swear to this statement?"
"Why should I not be, Mr.
Hunt?" said Irene, but her voice
trembled.
Mr. Hunt continued:
"Were you near the library win
dow at any time during the even
ing—earlier, perhaps, than the
time you spent sitting alone on
the east side?"
"No," said Irene. "I was not
there at all!"
"Then," said Mr. Hunt, sudden
ly producing the black spangles—
"then may I ask. Miss Gardiner,
how these chanced to be found in
the library, and on the library
window-shutter?"
Irene (iardiner gave a low" cry,
and, hiding her face in her hands,
seemed in immediate danger of
collapsing.
"Miss Gardiner," I said, "let mo
advise you, as a friend, to tell your
story frankly and truthfully. I
am sure it will be better for all
concerned."
Raising her head, Irene Gardi
ner flashed a look at me full of
faith nnd gratitude.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, "I would
be so glad to tell the truth! I
swore to a falsehood from a sense
of duty to another."
"It Is always a mistaken sense
of duty that leads to false swear
ing." said Mr. Hunt.
"I believe that is so," said Irene
earnestly, "but I had no one to ad
vise me and I thought I was doing
right. Tlie truth Is, then, that 1
did go around to the west end of
the balcony, and that I did look in
at the library window."
"What did you see in the li
brary?" asked Mr. Hunt.
"I saw Philip lying on the floor,
and Mildred fallen to the floor
alßo. But she was partly hidden
by the. desk."
"Is that all you saw?" asked
Mi-. Hunt, looking at her latently.
"Was there no one else in the
room?"
"Yes," said Irene, I saw Mr.
Crane placing a pistol in Mildred's
hand."
"Wait," said I, "was this occur
ring just as you arrived at the
window?"
"Yes."
"Then," I went on, "you cannot
swear that he was placing the
pistol in her hand. He might have
been attempting to take it awar
from her."
"I never thought of that," said
Irene, an expression of relief
lighting up her face.
"Even so," said Mr. Hunt, "he
should have told of the incident in
his own testimony. What did you
do next, Miss Gardiner?"
"I went to the east side of the
veranda. I was so horrified by
what I ltad seen that I flung my
self into a chair and cried. I was
still crying when, soon after, Mr.
Judson came. And I was still crv
lng when Mr. King came later to
tell me what had happened."
"She was," I said, "and crying
so violently that I was alarmed."
Although Irene's evidence had
placed Gilbert in a doubtful posi
tion, I was for going straight to
him, and asking him for the ex
planation which I felt sure he
could give.
But Mr. Hunt did not agree
with me.
"No," he said, "don't let us go
ahead too rapidly. Let us formu
late a definite proposition, and
then see If we are warranted In
assuming it to be a true one. In
the first place, whoever killed
Philip Maxwell must have had a
strong personal motive fop the
deed.
"The only man we know of who
might have had an ill-feeling to
ward Philip Maxwell is Gilbert
Crane. Wo know that an antag
onism existed between the two
men on account of Mlse Leslie.
"You saw Gilbert Crane in the
billiard room at 10 o'clock. Now
according to Crane's own state
ment he looked into Mr. Max
well's study some 20 minutes
later.
"With the exception of Mlsb
Gardiner on the balcony, the
guests were all in the music room
making a great deal of noise.
"Miss Maxwell was in her own
bedroom, and the servant* were
busy in the kitchens, of which the
door were closed. As nearly as
I can find put, Gilbert Crane came
running down stairs for Dr. ffliel
don a few moments before 10:30
