The two men entered the room through a window and discovered the body of Robert with a bullet through the head. . Mark was not to be found. Antony, who had been invited by Cayley to remain at The Red House with Bill until the inquest is over, refuses to believe the theory of In- spector Birch that Mark murdered Robert. Several things arouse his suspicions. If the key of the office door was on the outside, could Mark have locked it? He asks Bill to tell him all he knows of Mark's character- istics. HERE TODAY heard two ne'er-do-well { GO ON WITH THE STORY Bill was silent, wondering how to put in words thoughts. which had never formed themselves very defi- nitely in his own mind. Seeing his hesitation, Antony said: “1 ought to have warned you that nothing that you say will be taken down by the reporters, so you needn’t bother about a split infinite or two. Talk about anything you like, how you like.’ “Well, Mark fancies himself at ar- ranging things. He arranges things, and it's understood that the guests fall in with the arrangement. “Arranging things for you?" “Yes. Of course, it's a delightful house and opportunieies for every game or sport that's ever been in- vented. But with it all, Tony, there's a faint sort of feeling that—well, you've got to do as you're told."” “How do you mean?" “He's a devil for taking offense. That Miss Norris—did you see her?— she's done for herself. I don't mind betting what you like that she never comes here again. “Why?" Bill laughed to himself. “We were all in it, really—at least Betty and I were. There's supposed to be a ghost attached to the house. Lady Anne Patten. Ever heard of her?” “Never.” “Mark told us about her at dinger one night. He rather liked the idea of there being a ghost in his house, you know; except that he wanted all of us to believe in her, and yet he was annoyed with Betty and Mrs. Calladine for believing in ghosts at all. Rum chap. Well, anyhow, Miss Norris—she’s an actress, some actress too—dressed up as the ghost and played the fool a bit, And poor Mark was frightened out of his life. Just for a moment, you know.” “Where did the ghost appear?” “Down by the bowling-green. That's supposed to be its haunts, you know" 4 “Was Mark very angry afterward? “Oh, Lord, yes.

He got over it—he gen- Ie Baw the ghos “Wail, now, about Cayiey!" “How do you mean, him?" “I' want to see him, I can Mark perfectly, thanks to you, You were wonderful, Cayley's character, within,"” Bill laughed in pleased embarrass- ment, and protested that he was not a blooming novelist, _ “Besldes,” he added, “Mark's easy.

LD, MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 19 sald Antony mildly, as he transferred his pipe and tobacco into the pocket of his black coat. “Well, let's come down; I'm ready now.” Cayley was walting for them in the hall. The three of them fell into a casual conversation, “You were quite right about keys,” sald BlIl, during a pause, “Keys?'" sald Cayley blankly, “We were wondering whether they were outside or inside.” “Oh! oh, yes!" He looked slowly round the hall, at the different doors, and then smiled in a friendly way at Antony, “We both seem to have been right, Mr. Gillingham, So we don't get much farther.,” “No,” He gave a shrug. “T just wondered, you know. I thought it was worth mentioning." ““Oh, quite. Not that you would have convinced me, you know. Just as Elsle's evidence doesn't convince me." “Elsie?"” said Bill excitedly, An- tony looked inquiringly at him, won- dering who Elsle was. “One of the hbusemalds,” explained Cayley. “You didn't hear what she told the inspector?" ¢ Cayley told them of what Elsie had heard through the office door that af- ternoon. b “You were in the library then, of course,” sald Antony, rather to him- self than to the other. “8he might without the your hearing." ““Oh, I've no doubt she was there, and heard voices, Perhaps heard those very words. But—" He broke off, and then added impatiently, “It was accidental, T know it was acci- dental.

Cayley made an excuse for leaving them as soon as their cigars were alights He had business to attend to, as was natural. Bill would look after his friend. Bill was only too willing. “Let's go outside,”.suggested An- tony. “I want to talk to you.” “Good man What about bowling-green?" They came out of the front door and followed the drive to the left. The road bent round to the right, but they kept straight on over a broad grass path for twenty yards, and there in front of them was the green. A dry ditch, ten feet wide and six teet deep, surrounded it, except in the one place where the path went for- ward. “Yes, it hides itself very nicely,” said Antony. “Where do they keep the bowls?"” “In a sort of summer-house place. Round here.” They walked along the edge of the green until they came to it—a low wooden bunk which had been built jnto one wall of the ditch. " They finished their circuit of the | green—"‘Just in case anybody's in the ditch,” sald Anto: and then sat down on the bench. the had been taken out, and went down Now then,” said Bill, “We are again to settle his bill.

While most of the fights are within various counties throughout the state for county offices, it is be- lieved in some quarters that agita- tions both for and again the Klan will effect state wide election results. In several counties, according to newspaper reports, the klan had se- cret elections to determine which of two or more klan members, candi- dates for the same office, should be supported by the plan and file as can- didates for the nomination. In Little Rock, headquarters for most of the candidates for state offices, the klan, according to an account published in the Arkansas Gazette indorsed an entire state tigket. Klan Backs McRae, Governor McRae was endorsed by the Klan, it was reported, although he is not a member of the organiza- tion. Many of the other state offi- cers indorsed are not members. The only. issue which apparently has been raised by either side is Klan or anti- Klan. Of seven congressmen in office four have no opposition for nomination and are assured of re-election. W. J. Driver of Osceola, from the first dis- trict, will serve a second term. John N. Tillman of Fayetteville, third dis- trict, will succeed himself for a fifth term. Tilman B.
