But on the envelope itself was a postmark, at which Chisholm instantly pointed. “Peebles!” waid he. ‘Yon man that you found murdered — his _half- ticket’s for Peebl There's some- thing of a clue, anyway.” They went on searching the cloth- ing, only to find money—plenty of it. notes {n an old pocketbook, and gold in a wash-leather bag—-and the man's watch and chain, and his poosetknife | and the like, and a bunch of keys.

He said he had folk of his own buried in the neighborhood, and he was minded to take a look at their graves and at the old places where they'd lived.” “Did he tell you the names of suoh folk, or where they were buried, or anything of that sort?” he suggested. o--neve! said TF “He never mentioned the matter again.” He hesitated a bit, looked at me and back at his papers, and then, with a glance at the coroner. sat down. And coroner, nodding ‘at him as if there was some understanding be- tween them, turned to the jury. “It may seem wthout the scope of this inquiry, gentlemen,” he said, “but the presence of this man Gilverth- waite in the neighborhood has evi- dently so much to do with the death of the other man, whom we know as John Phillips, that we must not neg- lect any pertinent evidence. « There is a gentleman preset that can tel us something.
