A policeman and two plain-clothes men were standing beside a cot in a pleasantly furnished room. The captain looked at the figure lying on the cot. 'The face he saw was distorted by the ravages of a horrible death, yet it showed 'traces of beauty. Suddenly as he looked, he started violently. It was the same face he had seen inside the lid of Mr. Ferryman's watch. In a moment Mr. Ferryman was at the cot. He stared down at the body. Then, with a long cry of horror, he fell headlong over the cot. Tragedy had entered the tranquil, green-shuttered house which Alexander Ferryman had main-taned as a sanctuary for his errant wife. The pathos of the situation penetrated even Captain Summers hard-grained fiber. For four year the husband had lived in hope and grief and faith, waiting hourly for her return, keeping fresh and intact the scenes of their brief married life in order that wtian sb returned they would be able to resume as if thee bad ben no interruption. And now she had come back, but only to meet with a horrible and mystifying death. Hverything wm jrupulously neat and clean, yet there was an atmosphere about the place that suggested long disuse. The inti-mate human touch and feeling had somehow vanished from the I furnishings. As Summers inspect-' ed the surrounding be recalled what Ferryman had toldhinii uwui rciMtm mysterious inings going on In the house. He had not considered them seriously at first regarding them as meaning less trifles, or as the hallucinations of a disordered brain. Nowa he began to wonder whether they might not have some significance. He turned to one of the two detectives who had been in the room when rue entered a youngish man, straight and leaq, with yellow hair and a pair of keen, blue eyes. Summers knsw him. "What do you know about this. McCabe?" "Not a great deaf, sir. The medical examiner left just before you arrived. There wasn't much for him to do. He discovered the woman came to her death by a, revolver bullet that peeetrated 'the left lung. He said she muit have been dead ten or twelve hours "The captain arched his black, snarled brows. "Then she must have died about midnight. Why wasn t the body found sooner? "Mr. Ferryman owns house." McCabe inclined his blond head in the direction of the mourner. "He lives next door, in No. 2C0. The only occupant of this house is Axelson, the care taker. That's the old fellow standing over there by the door." "Yes, I know. bummers Thrilling,, .

"Yes, sir about half past 9 this morning, when" he; reached this room on his usual morning rounds. It was lying there." McCabe indicated a spot on the carpet "We moved it after the medical examiner had gone." Summers cast another ketn glance at the stricken faee of the caretaker. "Did Axelson recognic the No, sir.

Later he would question Mr. Ferryman fand the caretaker in detail, but I just now it would be useless to try to learn much from them. He let his eyes travel over the room, impressing each detail upon his mind. It looked as if it had at one time served as a writing room and study. An Incongruous touch caught his eye. It was a cluster of vlo lets in a case on the writing table.
