Dufresne stepped Into the room. “Oh!” she gasped when she saw the weird a ut death. “Tn you how it Is,” Harper low had any curiosity about the cause of the wound he gave no sign of it. He promised to be over in less than ‘half an hour. ‘With that detail out of the way, Sergeant Harper turned bis atten- tion to the major matter in hand. He called together Officer Clymer, De | tective Lafferty, and the two plain- clothesmen from Headquarters. “So | far we have found no clue to the | identity of the man who has been killed here,” he began. “For some unknown reason he chose to impersonate the master of thie house. If this same man wrote | the threatening letter and shot at Mr. Dufresne, the chances are that we are dealing with a lunatic. There will be traces-and I want you to look | for them. We haven't found this man's hat and overcoat, for instance. Look for signs of forcible entry, too, | but don’t go outside.

On it wae seventy-nine cents in change. “What has taken place here, Ser. geant, is plainly written.” He point- ed to the body in the armchair. “That mau is seated there. He has been drinking. He is smoking a ciga- fette. The policeman enters. Two guns are lifted simultaneously and | fired. Both men are dead—they have killed each other. That is the story. The reason why all this happened? That 4s your job, Sergeant, and you are welcome toil!” Harper nodded. “The reconstruc- fton of the scene ts quite obvious. But suppose, Carlin, { told you that don’t believe everything 1 bhear— and not always what | see?” “A® then, that makes a differ ence.

MILLER bent down and asked his question. He ecribbied the initials on big \prescription pad and handed the leat to the detective. “Get' his ‘phone umber and tell him to come as soon 4s possible. The sooner, the better,” When Harper left Mrs. Dufresne’s Toom to go downstairs again, he found Howard Doyle waiting at the foot of the stairs, “How ie abe, Ser. geant?” he ingutred at once, visibly perturbed.
