Was his Manner nervous or secretive?” “There was nothing out of the way about his manner, The other ques- tions I cannot answer.” The detective took a long pull on his pipe. “One more question, Mr, Pagliotti. You know the man who bought that disguise from you has been killed. It has been suggested that,he was crazy—e dangerous ma- Wiae.

The detective began to look through the packet of crank letters which Dufresne had turned over to the police, There were eight of them in all, the earliest postmarked November 9th, a little more than five weeks after the purchase of the disguise. ‘What had the masquerader been do- Ing those five weeks? Why had such @ long interval elapsed before his Heged letters began bombarding his intended victim? Dufresne had mot even been back in the city from his summer vacation when this man had appeared at Pagliotti’s. #f this nameless man had really intended to kill Dufresne, why bad he.not done so without all this fan- fare of threats and hard language? ‘Bis sourse bad certainly been that of the cowardly “crank,” not that of the determined killer.

WHITMORE took at least ten minutes to make her ap pearance. The detective wondered what the servants were saying about the marders, for he knew that in the sanctity of their own quarters every tongue would be wagging unrestrain- edly.
