Miss Bussell had retired carly, and had not known that any- thing out of the usual was happening until Mre. Van Berg ran into her room between one and two in the morning and said something dread- ful had happened. She then woke the other servants, and when she got downstairs, Mrs. Van Berg had tele- phoned to the doctor gnd was rine- ing up the police. E turned to the next day’s issue: WILL MR.

He had enly to shut his eyes to see these things, and the hand and the scar, and tha emerald chain dangling from it under the light. All of a sudden his temples were wet. It was true! He had sat and talked to a man as a h‘lend;nd shot him down! It --as a le. He wiped his forehead. It it was a lie, why could he see that hand with the scar, .and.the emeralds hanging trom it?
