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 band. 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 Ginger. If you will look closely at the knuckle joint you will see where it was forced off.

Look at the red marks in: dented on the sides of Bis nose,| made by the pincers. He certainly was bot accustomed to them, “Formal clothes, but his shoed, while of good quality, have been re’ soled.

His face had become hard and expressionless, his carriage more erect, his step firmer. “I 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 appeared, with all this e¢ommotion in here?” Seeing Harper's blank look, he went on to explain, housekeeper. She: and her husband have been living in the apartment over the garage while the decora- tors. were working in-the house. An- drews, 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 ig on the nest 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 runoing through the house?” Dufresne questioned testily. “The piace seems to be swarming with police. Who are all these men and what the devil are they doing here?” “There are certain regulations and formalities to be complied with in a case of this sort,” Harper explained. “These men are doing routine work. ‘AS soon a6 it is completed, they’ clear out.” HEY went into the breakfast- room and Harper closed the door. Although Harper was watch- ing closely, he couid detect no spark of emotion on Dufresne’s face as he\ stood inside the door and surveyed the murder scene. With the two faees there before him, Harper saw that there was indéed a startling re semblance, more than enough to confuse the casual eye. “That's the way we found them. The electric Mghts were not on. Now, Mr. Dufresne, does that sug- gest anything to you?” Dufresne sliook his head. “I am eotmpletely mystified, Harper. I can- Ot tell you why any man should try me nor why he should disguise bimself in that fashion, break in here, and then shoot a po- iceman. I can’t even understand why the policeman entered the house: f assume that this is the man who hag been threatening me.” “It se@ms likely.
