The H per was not more than four inches long, ami appeared to have been torn from the corner of an ordinary sheet of unruled stationery.

"No such luck, sir," growled Heath. Ho took a resolute breath like a man preparing for combat. "What's on the cards? Where do we go from here? I noed action." Markham appealed to Vance. ''You seem to have som idea about this affair. What's your suggestion? I frankly admit I'm floundering about in a black chaos." Vance inhaled deeply on his cigar etc. Then he leaned forward as if to give emphasis to his words. "Markham, old man, there's onl> one conclusion to be drawn. These two murders were engineered by the same I/rain: both sprang from the same grotesque Imphise; and hence the fikvl <!' thorn was committed by some one intimately familiar with condi- tions inside the Dillard house, it fol- lows that wo must now look for n per- son who, in addition to that knowledge had definite informrtion that a man named John Sprigg was in the halii of taking a walk each morning in n certain part of Riverside Park.

It was shortly after two o'clock when we reached the Dillard houso. Pync answered our ring; and if our vi-it caused him any surprise he suc- ceeded admirably in hiding it. In the look he gave Heath, however, I de- tected a certain uneasiness; but when he spoke his voice had the flat, unctu- ous quality of the well-trained servant. "Mr. Arnesson has not returned from the university," he informed us. "Mind-reading, I we," said Vance, "is not your forte, Pyne- We called to see you and Professor Dillard." The man looked ill at ease; but be- fore he could answer Mis Dillnrd ap- peared in the archway of the drawing- room. "I thought I recognized your voict . Mr. Vance."
