soothingly now then wi at was it by inspector birch showed that mark i vou heard try to remember the had learned with considerable disgust nd annoyance of the coming of rob- 1 ert cayley refused to believe that i something about wonting in a pas mar ert that 1k c had deliberately murdered rob go ox with the story chapter v the housekeepers room had heard something of the news by this time and audrey had had a busy time ex- ikiyodrt own hasi ys rt it- whatever antony gillinghams other qualifications for his new pro fession he had at any rate a brain w hich worked clearly and quickly and this clear brain of his bad j- ready told him that rt was the only rerton in the house at that moment who was uithandieapped in the search for truth the inspector had arrived in it io find a man dead and a man missing it was exrtemely probable j no doubt that the missing man had shot the dead man but it was more jthan extremely probable it was al most certain that the inspector would start with the idea that this extreme ly probable solution was the one true solution ami that in consequence he would be less disposed to consider without prejudice any other solution inspector birch was certainly pre pared to believe that mark had shot his brother robert had been shown into the office witness audrey mark had gone in to robert witness cayley mark and robert had been heard talking witness elsie there was a shot witness everybody get away and again why run he did want to give him time antony went out of the house again to the lawns at the back and sat down would have interested antony sage thought elsie hm working a passage over could that have been it thats right sir said elsie eagerly hed worked his passage over well plaining to other members of the stair and then mr mark said loudly exactly what he had said and whatrt of triumphantlike its my the had said the details were not j turn new you wait quite established yet but this much triumphantly at least was certain that mr marks as much as to say his chance had brother had shot himself and spirited come mr mark away and that- audrey had i and thats all you heard seen at once that he was that son of i thats all sir not standing t down the stairs warns cayley man when she opened the door to him i listening but just passing through to stan by in case he is wanted and 1 contribution of her own the hall as it might be any time kces f mc his brother what does this unquestionably is the finest green tea sapah tea fresh from the gardens s italy has raised the duty on wheat to aid her farmers now the farmers

woman witness her the frightened of her that he went off for household husband was onions use when peeling work minards liniment for coughs colds body had been found witness cayley and gillingham and mark was missing obviously then mark had killed his brother accidentally as cayley believed or deliberately as elsies evidence seemed to suggest but there were other possibilities to on the bench in view of tho office win- 1 know that just at the time when he dovvs j was feeling rather superior to the now then he said lets go through cayleys mind carefully and see what we get cayley had been in the hall when robrt was shown into the office the servant goes off to look for mark and cayley goes on with his book mark elsie had to make she had actually heard mr mark in the office threatening his brother he said i heard him say it with my own ears its my turn now he said triumphantlike well if you think thats a threat dear youre very particular i must say but audrey remembered elsies words when she was in front of in spector birch she gave her own evi dence with the readiness of one who had already repeated it several times then you didnt see mr mark at all no sir he must have come in before and gone up to his room well i think thats all that i want to knew now whar about the other servants elsie heard the master and mr robert talking together said audrey eagerly he was saying mr mark i mean ah who is elsie by the way one of the housemaids shall i send her to vou sir yes well thats really very im portant elsie thank you elsie gave him a smile and return- ed eagerly to the kitchen meanwhile antony had been explor- ling a little on his own there wasjj 1 a point which was puzzling him went throuh the hall to the front of i the house and stood at the open door he and cayley had run round the house to the kit surely it would have been quicker to have run round io the right undoubtedly they went iho longest way round why he asked himself was it to give mark more time in which to escape only in that case why run also how did cayley know then that it was mark who was trying to escape if he had guessed that one had shot the other it was much more likely that hobert had shot mark in deed he had admitted that this was what he thought the first thing he had said when he turned the body over was thank god i was afraid it was mark but why should he want to give robert- time in which to cayley expect possibly that he wont be wanted after all possibly that his advice may be wanted in the matter say of paying roberts debts or getting him a passage back to australia possibly that his physical assistance may be wanted to get an obstreperous robert out of the house well he sits there for a moment and then goes into the library suddenly he hears a pistol- prejudiced inspector the inspector himself was letting his mind dwell lovingly upon the possibilities in con nection with mr gillingham was it only a coincidence that mr gilling ham had turned up just wher he did and mr beverleys curious answers when asked for some account of his friend an assistant in a tobaccon ists ajj odd man mr gillingham evidently it might be as well to keep an eye on him
