Of RED HOUSE MYSTERY. Y AAMILNE (Continued From Our Last Issue) “The announcement at breakfast went well. After the golfing-party had gone off, we had the morning in which to complete our arrangements, What 1 was chiefly concerned about was to establish as completely as pos- sible the {dentity of Robert. For this reason I suggested to Mark that, when dressed, he should go out by the secret passage to the howling green, and come back by the drive, taking care 40 enter into conversation with the s#odgekeeper. “In this way I would have two more witnesses of Robert's arrival— first the lodgekeeper, and ‘' secondly one of the gardeners whom I would have working on the front lawn, Mark, of course, was willing enough. He could practice his Australian ac- cent on the lodgekeeper. It was really amusing to see how readily he fell into every suggestion which I made. Never was a killing more earefully planned by its victim. “He changed into Robert's clothes in the office bedroom. This was the safest way—for both of us. ‘When he was ready, he called me in, and I irspected him. It was extraordinary how well he looked the part. I sup- pose that the signs of his dissipation had already marked themselves on his face, but had been concealed hitherto by his mustache and beard; for now that he was clean-shaven they lay open to the world from which he had 80 carefully hidden them, and he was indeed the wastrel which he was pre- tending to be. “‘Wonderful, I sald to “Nobody could possibly guess.’ “1 peered into the hall. It was empty. We hurried across to the Ubrary; he got into the passage and made off. 1 went back to the bed- room, collected all his discarded clothes, did them up in a bundle and returned with them to the passage. Then I sat down in the hall and waited. “You heard the evidence of Stevens, the maid. As soon as she was on ter way to the Temple in search of Mark, I stepped into the office. My hand was in my side pocket, and in my hand was the revolver. “He began at once in his character of Robert—some rigmarole ‘about working his passage over from Aus- tralia; a little private performance for my edification. Then in his natural voice, gloating over his well myself down the letter. “What did you write to Ym? Was that last night? After I'd gone into Btanton?" “Yes." | “What did you say?

And you told Cayley that you were telegraphing to Mark's dentist?” “Yes. all up for him. Robert was Mark we thing.” “How did you know?"” Antony got up from the breakfast table and began to fill his pipe. “Well, let's see if I can go through my own mind again, and tell you how I guessed it. First of all, the clothes.” “Yes?"” . “To Cayley the clothes seemed an enormously important clue. I felt certain that, in that case, the absence of the collar was unintentional.

The only answer was tha the fact of his changing had to be When did he change? an American relief worker who has had a large part in stimulating the output of the native workships, the patterns are of Macedonian origin, having been imported into the Brous- |sa district about 200 years ago.

I was not going to take the risk’ of being heard to speak in that room. I just smiled at the poor little fool, and took out my revolver, and shot him. Then I went back into the library and waited—just as I said in my evidence. “Can you imagine, Mr. Gillingham, the shock which your sudden appear- ance gave me? Can you imagine the feelings of a ‘murderer’ who has (as he thinks) planned for every possi- bility, and then congfronted suddenly with an utterly new problem? difference would your coming make? 1 didn't know. Perhaps none; per- haps all. And I had forgotten to open the window! “I don’t know whether you will think my plan for Killing Mark a clever one. Perhaps not. But if I do deserve any praise in the matter, I think I deserve it for the way I pulled myself together in the face of the unexpected catastrophe of your arrival. Yes, I got a window open, Mr. Gillingham, under your very nose; | the right window too, you were kind enough to say. And the ke yes, that was clever of you, but I think I was cleverer. “1 decelved you over the keys, Mr. Gillingham, as I learned when I took the liberty of listening to a conversa- tion on the bowling green between you and your friend Beverley. Where was I? Ah, you must have a look for that secret passage, Mr. Gilling- ham. “But what am I saying? Did I deceive you at all? You have found out the secret—that Robert was Mark—and that is all that matters. How have you found out? I shall never know now. Where did I go wrong? Perhaps you have been de- celving me all the time. Perhaps you knew about the keys, about the window, even about the secret pass- age. You are a clever man, Mr. Gillingham. “I had Mark’s clothes on my hands. I might have left them in the passage, but the secret of the passage was now out. Miss Norris knew it. That was the weak point of my plan, perhaps, that Miss Norris had to know it. So 1 hid them in the pond, the inspector having obligingly dragged it for me first. A couple of keys joined them, but I kept the revolver. Fortunate, wasn't it, Mr. Gillingham? “Goodby, Mr. Gillingham. sorry that your stay with us not of a pleasanter nature, but you understand the difficulties in which I was placed. Don't let Bill think too badly of me. He is a good fellow; Jook after him. He will be surprised. I'm was The young are always surprised.
