They Aiscover a secret passage leading from the Red House to the bowling| green and then Antony questions the maid, Elsie, who overheard Muark speaking to Robert in the office. GO ON WITH THE STORY “It was you who heard Mr. Mark yesterday, wasn't {t?” Antony asked the maid, “Yes, sir’’ 's my turn now You wait. " murmured Antony to himself. “Yes, sir. Nasty-like. Meaning to say his chance had come.” “I wonder.” “Well, that's what I Truly. Antony looked at her thoughtfully and nodded. “Yes. I wonder “Why what, sir? “Oh, lots of thin, He had found his pipe downstalrs again. Antony was glad to have spoken to her, because he had recognized at once the immense importance of her evidenc. To the inspector no doubt it had seemed only of importance in that it had shown Mark to have adopted something of a threatening attitude toward his brother. To an- tony it had much more significance. It was the only trustworthy evidence that Mark had been in the office at all that afternoon. For who saw Mark go into the office? Only Cayley. And if Cayley had been hiding the truth about the keys, why should he not be hiding the truth about Mark's entry into the office? Obviously all Cayley's evi- dence went for nothing. Some of it no doubt was true; but he was giving it, both truth and falsehood, with a pur- poee. What the purpose was Anton did not know as yet; to shield Mark, to shield himself, even to betray Mark —it might be any of these Elsie's evidenoe, however seemed to settle the point. Mark had gone into the office to see his brother; Elsie had heard them both talking; and then Antony and Cayiey had found the body of Robert and the inspector was going to drag the pond. But certainly Elsie's evidence did not prove anything more than the mere presence of Mark in the room “It's my turn now; you walt.' That was not an immediate threat; it was a threat for the future., Tf Mark had shot his brother immediately after ward it must have been an accic the result of a struggle, say, provoked by that “nasty- tone of voice Nobody would “You wait” to a man who was just about to be shot. “You walt"” meant “You walt, and see what's going to happen to you later on.” The conversation Eilsle heard couldn't have meant Anyway not murder of Robert Mark. r—— — ’ heard, sir.
