Turning his back on me, he open-s ed the lefthand top drawer of the | desk and began to systematically | |examine its contents. | If my role was to be that of Wat- | son I was determined that it should | be an active one. And so I began | a close inspection of the library. I| proceeded to the little railed bal-| cony outside. something that moved me deeply. It was a dusting of gray white powder in size and form vaguely suggestive of the sole of a man’s shoe. I knew the powder might have been deposited the night be- fore. Dipping the tip of my finger into the powder, I put it to my tongue. “Cement,” I muttered. “Mac- Nair!” I called. When I pointed to the powder, he dropped onto his knees and tasted it. “Cement,” he mused. “Hmn! Looks as if some one who had stepped in cement had stood here.” Puzzled and thoughtful, up and watched him brush the powder into an envelope. He went carefully over the rest of the bal- cony scrutinized the iron grille, and peered down into the adjacent shrubbery. “Nothing else here,” he muttered. I did not feel equal to facing Lucy in my present state of mind, so I lunched with MacNair in town. We were sipping our coffee when my companion said abrupt- ly: “You cannot definitely recall any single detail of the person of that man you fought with this morn- ing?” I shook my head. “So far as we know,” MacNair who knew you had that pistol. How old is he?” “About eighty.” b “Hmn! He wouldn't be likely to fight like a wild cat.” X “No. Although he is a man of unusual vitality.” ° “Indeed. Well, let's see what he's got to say for himself.” We found Hyde in his office at the rear of his gloomy shop. He shook hands with me and as I in- troduced him to MacNair T reflect- ed on the strength of his grip. “Dreadful affair up your way last night,” he condoled. “Too bad,” he lgrieve«:l, shaking his gaunt old head. Here I came upon I got; went on, “Hyde was the only one; the tail of his coat. For a moment he fumbled there. His hand came away empty and I guessed he had been after his Louis snuff-box. “You were going to say, Mr. Mac- Nair?” he inquired. “That the name of the man you bought the pistol from is Furie!” MacNair rapped out. Hyde chuckled. “Perhaps it was, A queer chap, Furie.” “Did he tell you where he found the revolver?” “No, he didn't.” “Have you any idea where the |revolver came from?” “Not the slightest.” I think he realized that we didn't believe him for he leaned forward Jwilh a confiding air. ; “Here's a tip that’ll stir you up, ‘gentlemen: I could have sold that |pistol again after Peebles bought |16.” | “To whom?” | “To Andrew Ogden,” said Nathan |Hyde. “He telephoned me about it \at six o'clock last night.” | “What did Ogden say?” MacNair |inquired. The dealer chuckled slyly. “He asked me what I'd done with the Alex Peterson revolver Furie had lsold me. I said it had gone and I though he'd jump out of the |telephone at me. ‘Who's got it?" {he barked. I told him and he cooled jdown.” MaceNair looked at me. “That was i'why Ogden telephoned you.” | I nodded unhappily, overwhelmed lby a sense of failure. If I had !gone to Andrew at once he probably would have been alive now. | (Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co.) Why did Andrew Ogden want the Peterson revolver? Is it con- nected with Ogden’s death?

Miss Margaret Abrahamson goes to Olympia, Wash., where she will teach in the intermediate grades. Miss Hazel Olson is to be married in Tacoma, Wash.

All of the new teachers will come from large schools and are highly recom- mended. Earl Cathcart, who will succeed K. W. Chapman as superintendent, holds an M. A. degree from the University of Missouri, and is at present superintendent of schools at Magdalena, New Mexico. William L.
