But the girl looked so helpless and | pathetic, so shorn of all her bravado | and jaunty independence, that it med to him unfair to deceive her. Moreover, whatever the putty was or meant, it was quite evidently an important factor in the case, and he had no right to wrest the secret from hgr. If she chose to tell him, well afl good. If not, he felt un- willing to foree her hand “Do you know what I'm going to do, Bunny?

Of course. Why not?" “And, Bunny,—darling, won't you smile at me—just ance? At me, I mean, me, Tod Buck?

Then the tears came. Emotion at a, dead, -murdered,—caused a rush of sob- bing grief, that while it racked poor Bunny's body, semed to clear her mind. As she grew quieter, she found she saw things more clearly. She realized that of all the people in the Heath home, it was only Myra whom she loved, and whose terrible she mu any possibility she could help. 1e forced herself to go over the events of that terrible night. made herself remember everything that had happened, or that she had | reason to think happened. She clos- ed her eyes, and for the first time since the tragedy, she thought co- herently and deeply as to what she should do. She was not sure who had killed Myra,—she could not be sure. Yet Perry Heath had inslsted on secing her to warn her of her own danger, and so— Tut then, she had seen Larry— and, oh, good Heavens! Larry had sald he saw her, he told Tod Buck Was Larry lying?

Chapter XLI He smiled—people usually smiled | at sight of Bunny. “Sleep if you like,” he said, and | his voice was gentle, “I'll take this watch. “If you were smaller, take you to be Mr. Truitt,” she said, meditatively, for even sitting down it was plain to be seen that the stranger was a very long person. “I am Truitt,” he said; “it 1is Buck’s favorite pest to tell folks I'm a dwar{ or plgmy, and then he thinks it funny when they are sur- prised. You see,” he said, rising, “I outgrew myself as a boy, and never got over it.” He was unusually tall, several Inches over six feet, but he carried himself well and with no trace of awkwardness or self-consclonsness. “What is the girl like to whom you are letting her eyes travel up to the very top of this Eiffel Tower of hu- manity. “I'm not engaged.

I'm glad to talk with you alone a mo- ment. You're here to look into the Heath case, aren’t you?" “Yes, T am a detective, as well as a friend of Buck's. I want to do all 1 can for him.” “0Of course you do. I'm Bunny Moore, a friend of the Heaths. T was in the house at the time, visiting, and I am suspected of being the murderer.” There was no trace of a smile on Bunny's face. Her eyes looked eat- nestly into those of Truitt, and he saw that she had serlous knowledge of the matter, whatever it might be. "It s perfunctorily, but with a that equaled her own. “Will you tell me a few details, or shall I wait until Tod comes home? “I will talk to you until they come. You don't look like a detec- tive, Mr. Truitt.” “I did, until I changed all that. The first duty of a detective is not to look like one. I was helped by my height, of course. No conven- me. | tional detective was ever as tall as |1 am. Then I cultivated a habit of looking like the person I am talking to. See, I now ‘wear a smile like yours.

You were stunned, and, moreover, you had reason to believe that Mr. Tnman knew something of the mat- ter, or he would not be spying on vyou.

I got up and undressed and went to bed properly, but I waited almost breathlessly for what the morning might bring. So, when Carter came 1o tell me the news, I was sitting up in bed, erying.” Steve Truitt looked at nestly, but plercingly. “You were afraid to say anything, because you feared—still fear—that Perry Heath was the criminal and you love him.” “I did love him then,” said Bunny, eimply; “T don't, now.” (T6 Be Continued) o her ear- READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS on not getting the genuine Bayer As- pirin_ proved prescribed by physicians over twen- ty-five years for contains proven directions. boxes of twelve tablets cents, 24 and 100.
