Furneaux broke ins “How did she take your news? emarkably well, considering.” onsidering what?” . he fact that her affianced husband was dead, of course. “Did she say that, in so many words?” “No, not_exactly.” “What_did she say?” Now, Stuart had an alert brain, as the occupants of many a German “pillbox” in the Argonne could testify if they were alive, and he was dealing with a _man, not a distraught woman. He divined instantly what had been in Furneaux’s mind in dispatching him on an extraordi- nary errand. Had a policeman, or any official, gone to break the news to Mary Dixon she would probably have kept a closer guard on her tongue than in the presence of a personal friend of van Cortland’s. The soldier respected the law, and knew that he, like all other good izens, ought to help its representatives, but, to use his own phrase, “he’d be handged before he gave away a lady.” So he temporized. . “She was certainly very much upset,” he said, “but she really seemed ;’nost concerned about her brother. Indeed, she asked me to bring him ome.” “Took van Cortland’s death for granted, in fact?” snapped Furneaux. “I hope I have not conveyed that absurd impression,” countered Stuart, keenly sensitive of the gimlet-like action of the detective’s beady eyes, which seemed to pierce into his very soul. “She must have said something bearing on the crime,” went on Fur- neaux. “How long were you with her?” . “Very few minutes. I was kept waiting till she was called from her room. I'm afraid I bungled the affair rather badly—blurted it out, you know. At first she thought I was talking about her brother. We were at cross purposes for quite a time. Then she wept, and—and I ¢ame away. “Hum!” muttered Furneaux, as much as to say he didn’t believe a syllable of the story. In very truth ne was greatly annoyed that a trust- worthy agent should have failed him. . Stuart was in no doubt as to the detective’s meaning, and the doctor did not help matters by gazing darkly at him. “I thought at the time you were making a grave mistake in sending me to interview Miss Dixon.” he began stiffly, but Furneaux merely snap- ped his fingers in an irritated way. “Don’t see why you should kick at being introduced to a charmin young lady, especially at 8 o’clock in the morning” he cried. * you are ready to constitute yourself her faithful knight-errant at first sight, before she could so much as use a stick of lip-salve or a powder puff, what the devil will happen when you meet her in all the glory of the ay sun or the midnight arc lamp?” Stuart, disturbed already by the detective’s eccentricity no less than his uncanny gift of guessini correctly at things he could not pos- sibly know, was convinced now that the man was half crazy. “We seem to be wandering away from Miss Dixon’s request as to her brother,” he said. \ “Anyhow, you won't wander away with him to Park avenue,” came the sardonic retort. “These boys are going to the police station as quickly as Dr. Bright can bring ’em around and they can be bundled into a patrol wagon. Please get busy, ‘doc.’” g “Do you mean to say you will arrest them?” demanded the astounded tuart. “Sure I will—every mother’s son of 'em. One, if not more, of these twelve goung sinners killed van Cortland. How, I don’t know, yet. They'll have to tell me. And it would be better for all concerned if you were a trifle more communicative, captain.” “But don’t you realize that I was in this house only a few minutes before you—that you came here literally at my request?” “Pretty smart, for the army,” snapped Furneaux. “I'm not charging yoy with committing a crime.

AR T ¥ - Willie Dixon, now that returning animation lit up his features, bore a family resemblance to his sister. He rose unsteadily, and Furneaux 10os- ened his grip. Not yet were those addled wits completely restored. He gazed around at his prostrate comr des and for a second a sheepish grin indicated a growing conviction that he and his friends had certainly made 3 night of it. Then he seémed to remember the detective’s strange words, and gazed at the'place 8t the head of the table where he evi- dently. remembered-last seeing van Cortland.
