But there's no direct clue.” “Is there anything indirect?” asked Johnson. “There are two matters which strike me as being of the highest impor- tance,” sald Engleden. “The first is referred to in the paper you're holding. ‘There's not & doubt that Archer saw Whree men night before last, about 11 o'clock, at a spot close to the Brown Pool—a stretch of the river in which the body was found. Personally haven't any doubt that Col. Engleden was one of the three. Who were the two others?” “Not necessarily his murderers!” re- plied Johnson. “That's to be ascertained. But, if he was one of the three, and the two others were not his murderers, why don’t they come forward?” “That’s & question easily put, and not easily answered! They may have very excellent. reasons for not coming for- ward!” “Their not doing so would imply cul- pability, in my opinion.” “Not in mine! But never mind that —what's the other matter?” “The other matter is that on the afternoon of the day before yesterday, “What of it?—what do you mean? e asked. Johnson put his finger on the scrap of paper and then on one of the maga- zines which he had removed from the dispatch case. “See that bit of paper?” he said. “And see that magazine cover? The bit of paper has been torn, recently, from that cover! What's that show? That he'd referred to some in this diary, and then, having found it, had torn off that scrap of stuff and put it in there to mark the place. Which is the key of this padlock, now? This very small one, I reckon. Well, now—but you look; you're his su " He had unlocked the book as he spoke, and now, opening it at the place ‘where the scrap of paper served as a mark, he handed it to Engleden. And Engleden, after a glance at the closely written pages, uttered an exclamation of amazement. “Good heavens, Johnson!” he said. “Do you know what this is? It's an entry, made 12 years ago—look at the date!-—when he was governor of South- moor. And it's about the escape of two convicts who were in his charge Both, however, gained the car, which was already moving. . .” in the evening of which he was mur- dered, Col. Engleden went into the post office here and sent a telegram to the present governor of Southmoor Convict Prison, of which he himself, as you know, was an ex-governor, asking if there were still any warders there who had served under him? That's the other matter, Johnson!” Johnson, who was staring about him at the gradually unfolding beauties of the romantic old town, stopped short in his stride and stared at Engleden, open mouthed. “Oh! He did, “Oh!” he exclaimed. did he?” “That seems to strike you!” sald Engleden. “Well, T should say it did—rather!” retorted Johnson. ‘“Very much so! Did he get any reply?” \ "“Yes. The regly ‘was that there were not, but that their whereabouts could be traced, if Col. Engleden wished it.® “Just that?" Now, Johnson, what do “Just that! you make of it?" Johnson was now staring at the | quaint houses of the street through which they were passing. He con- tinued to stare and to inspect, in si- | lence, for two or three minutes. “Queer old .sgot, this,” he remarked suddenly. “Old as they make ’em, I | reckon. Decent hotel?” “It's a very good hotel” replied Engleden. “Much resorted to by | tourists.” “I'm hungry,” said Johnson. *I had lunch on the train, but it's a long time ago. After I've had something to eat, | I can, perhaps, answer your last ques- | tion; my brain doesn't work well on an empty stomach.” 've ordered dinner for 7:15 in my private sitting room,” remarked Engle- den. “We can talk there. And there's &lenly to talk about! Afterward I can | take you to see the superintendent of | police if you like.” “Smart man?” asked Johnson. “Capable, good-natured man. Very anxious to do all he can, in every way. But I don't think he'd set the Thames on fire. You know the type, Johnson. Conventional police methods. And I think something more than that's wanted in this case.” Johnson offered no opinion. He re- mained more or less silent until he and Engleden had dined. Then, when he had got his favorite g\pc in full blast, he manifested signs of mental activity. “So that was his room that you've got?” he asked, nodding at a door which opened from the private si room into Engleden's bed room. "Yes! ‘Then I suppose his things are there?” mminM“ as he left L™ by ed them yet?” “Only superficially. I left that until you arrived. Not that I think we shall find anything.” “You never know.

Everything went on all right until about half past 9 o'clock, when & powerful motor car came in sight from the direction of Churtonstead. “It was being driven at a rapid rate, and as it drew near, Millwaters saw that there were two men in front and, he believes (it was a closed car), one Inside. As it got nearer it slowed down and came to a halt near the prisoners. One of the men in front got down and proceeded (this was undoubtedly & piece of bluff) to make some inspec- tion of the engine. Presently the man inside got out and joined him. After a time the first man got back into the driver's seat and the other man swung open the door again, to reseat himself. This was obviously a signal. Before either Settle or Millwaters real- ized what was happening two convicts, Snelling and Hardle, had thrown down their tools and were racing for the car. other. Settle believes he hit Hardle, and saw him stagger & little. Both, however, gained the car, which was al- ready moving, and dashed into it; the | man who held the door open followed and the car shot off at tremendous speed and in another minute was lost to sight in the undulations of the moor. “The two warders, of course, imme- diately assembled their men and marched them back here and we raised the hue and cry, telephoning and tele- Pathetic Incident.
