Now Vance had categorically repudiated f-hls f.heory and at the same time had advanced another which despite its Indeflniteness, had nevertheless taken Into ac count all the physical points of the case; and Markham, at first antagonistic, had found himself, almost against his will, becoming more and more sympathetic jtc this new point of view. "Damn It, Vance I V he Bald, it's not your hobby. Consequently you have a hot yearning to flay him alive." I'll admit," said Markham coolly, "that a homicidal mania Is my idea of madness." Hut he didn't have a homicidal mania, Markham old thing. You miss all the fine distinctions in psychology. This niau was an noyed by a certain person, and set to work, masterfully and reasona bly, to do away with the source of bis annoyance. And he did it "To be sure, his act was a oit grisly. But when, if ever, you "get your handB on him, you'll he amazed to find how normul be is. And able, too oh, able no end. Again Markham lapsed into a long thoughtful silence. At last he spoke. "The only trouble with your In genlous deductions is that they don't accord with the known cir cumstances of tho case. A ad facts, my dear Vance, are still regarded by a few of us old-fashioned law yers as more or less conclusive." "Why this needless confession of your short-comings?" inquired Vance whimsically. Then, after a moment: "Let me have tho facta which appear to you untagonistic to my deductions." 1 "Well, there are only four men of tho typo you describe who could have had any remote reason for murdering the Odell woman Heath's scouts went into her his tory pretty thoroughly, and for over two years that is, since her appearance in the 'tollies tne going at this thing the wrong way. The real factors In the case are not what you call the known circumstances, but tho unknown qualities the human x's, so to speak tho personalities, or na tures, of your quarete." He lit a fresh cigaret, and lay back, closing his eyes. . "Tell me what you know of these four cavalierl serventt you say Heath has turned in his re port. Who were their mamas? What do they eat for breakfast? Are they susceptible to poison-ivy? . . . Let's have Spotswoode's dos sier first. Do you know anything about him?" "In a general way," returned Markham. "Old Puritan slock, I believe governors, burgomusters, a few successful traders. All Yankee forebears no Intermix ture. As a matter of fact, Spots woode represents tho oldest and hardiest of the Now England arid- tocracy although I Imagine the so-called wine of the Puritans has become pretty well diluted by now. His affair with the Odell girl is hardly consonant with the older Puritan's mortification of the flesh." "It's wholly consonant, though, with the psychological reactions which aVe apt to follow the inhibi tions produced by such mortifica tion," submitted Vance. "Put what does he dp?
