Vance to the theory that the real
murderer hud not opened It, but
someone after him, someone who
was hiding In the closet when the
murder was committed. That man,
he thinks, was Skeelr whose finger-prints
were found in the apart
ment of the strangled Margaret
Odell. Markhaiu ridicules the the
ory and Vance painstakingly ex
plains his reasons for thinking
the crime not one of robbery but
the work, of a highly intelligent
man who wanted the girl out of
the way.

there was a 'long' silence."

suggest no alternative.
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
