Why should the man shoot a policeman? Why was that man masquerading as Dufresne, the owner of the house? Look here.” Harper lifted the man's left hand. The first and second fingers had been seared by the burned out ciga rette. “This fellow recently wore a ring—very recently. There's the mark around his third tinger. If you | will look closely at the knuckle joint you will see where it was forced off. But where s the ring? “There was no watch. no wallet, no papers, no cards nothing that you would expect to find in a man's pockets, except a handkerchief and | some loose change. When he broke into this house he completely dis carded his identity, & “Look at these. There are no oc- cupational calluses or stains. These are not hands used to manual labor, nor are they quite the hands of a gentleman of leisure.” He turnc¢ them over. “Look at the fingernails. Cut blunt. Clean, but not cared for | otherwise.” Harper snapped wide the nose- glasses and let them drop on their cord. “These glasses are not his, either. Look at the red marks in dented on the sid2s of his nosc, made by the pincers. He certainly was not accustomed to them, “Formal clothes, but his shoes, while of good quality. have been r- soled. We haven't even found his| hat and coat. Oh, there are a lot of | questions here that need answer ing.” Dr. Miller shook his head. “I've told you all 1 can and J doubt that the autopsy will add much to that knowledge. The front door opened and there was an influx of the belated party from the Austerlitz. Harper dropped the telephone and went forward to greet them. Evidently Markison had put into practice Harper's orders to upg herofe methads’ to get ‘Dufresne back on his feet. He was bundled to the ears against the cold and storm. and, still a little unsteady on his feet leaned on a supporting arm held odf by the lean and glum-looking An drews. Markison and the second dtfa tective were just behind them and a moment later an alert, handsome young fellow in a chauffeur’s unt form entered briskly. This was seph Donaghy, Mr. Dufresne’s chn% feur. i T THE same moment Dr. Ulrich appeared on the stairs, rolling down his shirt sleeves and fastening the cuff links as he descended. “Hel lo, Pierre,” he exclaimed cordially:f advancing to shake hands. “Why, Doctor, what on earth are you doing here?” Dufresne asked, extremely puzzled. i Dr. Ulrich shot a questioning glance at the detective, but before he could answer Harper cut “There has been a very regrettable accident, Mr. Dufresne. When we first discovered the bodies, one of the reporters assumed from the dis guise the man was wearing that it was you and told Mrs. Pufresne. Of course she came over immediately. She fainted, and in falling struck her face against the edge of the table.,” “My wife—here?” Dufresne posi tively stuttered. He looked around at the circle of faces as if be could not digest tha meaning of the words Harper haj just uttered. His eyes fastened on Dr. Ulrich's. “Sylvia— scarred—for life—" he mumbled. Dr. Ulrich took him by the arm. MOCKING HOUSE BY WALTER C. BROWN In a few minutes Pierre Dufresne stood up, with.a great change in his bearing. His face had become hard and expressionless his carriage more erect, his step firmer. “1 want some hot coffee. Tell Mrs. Whit- more.” *Mrs. Whitmore?” Harper repeat- ed blankly. The name was strange to him | "Haven't you seen Mrs. Whit- more? She hasn’t appéared, with all this commotion in here?” Seelng Harper's. blauk lovk, he ‘went on to explain. “Mrs. Whitmore 18 my housekeeper. She and her husband have been living in the apartment ovdr the garage while the decora- tors were working ip the house. An- drdws, get her on the house 'phone and tell her to come over. “Yes, and call up Aline and Rich- ard. Mr. and Mrs. Croyden,” he ex- plained to the detective. “Mrs. Croy- den is my wife's sister. Their house is on the next street. You can see a corner of it from our back win- dows."” Andrews went to rouse the sleep- ing Whitmores. There was a special telephone connection between the rear of the house and the rooms over the garage. “Is it necessary to have all these men running through the house?” Dufresne questioned testily. “The | place seems to be swarming with police. Who are all these men and what the devil are they doing here?” “There are cortain regulations and formalities to be complied with in a | case of this sort,” Harper explained. “These men are doing routine work. As soon as it is completed, they'll clear out.” ’]‘HHY went into the breakfast- room and Harper closed the door. Although Harper was watch- ing closely, he coud detect no spark of emotion on Dufresne’s face as he stood inside the door and surveyed the murder scene. With the two faces there before him, Harper saw that thexe was indeed a startling re- semblance, more than enough to confuse the casual eye. “That's the way we found them. The electric lights were not on. Now, Mr. Dufresne, does that sug- gest anything to you?” Dufresne shook his head. “I am completely mystified, Harper. I can- not tell you why any man should try to murder me nor why he should disguise himself in that fashion, break in here, and then shoot a po- liceman. I can’t even understand why the policeman entered the house, 1 assume that this is the man who has been threatening me.” “It seems likely. While we have not yet established any definite con- | | | | nfilinn. the circumstances of the St $\dnts trom this afterngon om can hardly be laid to absolute coinci- dence.” Harper removed the false mous- tache, the goatee, the eye-glasses. At once the resemblance to Du- frgsne was dissipated. This man was atMeast ten years younger. The lines of his face exhibited strength, per- sistence, and Jetermination. Dog- gedness was in the line of his jaw. “\. at all the lineaments of an im- ‘Déeile, nor those of a homicidal maniac. “l never saw this man before in my life,” Dufresne declared, em- phatically. ~ “Are you gquite sure of that, Mr. Dufresne?

I believe that would be the best procedure.” Sergeant Harper called in Dr. M1l- ler and the two ambulance men. “We'll be all through in a few min- ufes,” he said. “Then you can strip this body and take it away. In the meantime, you may remove HamilL" There was now more confusion than ever. Mr. and Mrs. Whitmore bad arrived and were listening, wide-eyed and almost incredulous, to the low-voiced explanations of Andrews. The man had come up from Head- quarters with the missing gray and white dusting powders for the in- “Pull yourself together, Pierre,” he commanded. “There's at least an even chance that it will beal without a scar.” “C'est la main @du Seigneur!” Du- fresne stumbled forward and sank down on the lounge. “What did you asked. Dufresne looked up. “Pardon me. 1 am upset. Where is she now? 1 must see, at once!” “Certainly, certainly, Pierre,” Dr. Ulrich said soothingly, “but a little later, if you please. You will only be,in the way if you go now.” say?” Harper sufflator, and Harper set the finger print man to work on the decanters, and glass and the two guns. The trained purse Dr. Ulrich bad summoned arrived in a taxicab and was whisked upstairs by the doctor before the datective had a chance to see her face. ‘But for all the activity, the house remained what it had seemed when Harper first arrived—a house filled with the grisly feel of death.
