The inspector was the next to take action. He had already circulated a vecognizable description of Conning- ton, but Lord Oban, Retty, the hutler, | “I'T WOULD BE FOLLY [T0 AT NOW W."

The doctor. after more detailed ex amination by davlight. was led 1o accept the hoat hook theo of that deadly wound. So. after all. Mr. Dingwall did not feel that his day was wasted. He fixed the inquest for 10 o'clock the next morning, and P. C. Campbell set about the necessary | preliminaries. | The day wore. yet there came no news from the hills.

By midday the newspapers through- out the kingdom were publishing the rst_vagie and carefully worded ac. counts of the affair. At first there was a complete avoidance of that ugly word murder.

The mere presence of the Scotland Yard men | in that remote place was highly sig- | nificant. a strange story, in which a fugitive | criminal, pursied by an excepticaally intelligent was being sought for among the nilis. There was no rival sation in the field.

He elected in favor of the latter course. He knew well that no efforts by the authorities could stop all tongues from wagging. It was better that some of the truth should he allowed to appear rather n the wild rumors which were al- v current throughout the coun- So Campbell and the inspec- . when he came back, were primed h the accepted version. It sifficed, a little while. Next day’s inquest of course, would widen the field. It was simply hopeless to think of muz zling the press when a news item of such dramatic scope was available for public consumption.
