"I'm laying my money on Skeel," declared Heath stubbornly. "I know a professional job when I it. And you can't get away from those finger-prints and tho piofessor's report on the chisel." Markham was sorely perplexed. His belief iu Skeel's guilt bad, I knew, been undermined iu some measure by Vance's theory that t lie crime was the carefully pre meditated act of a shrewd and educated man. But now he seem ed to swing irresolutely back to Heath's point of. view. "111 admit," he said, "that Ltnd quist aud Cleaver and Mannix don't inspire one with a belief in their innocence. But since they're aUtarre& with the Bame stick the force of suspicion against them is somewhat dispersed. After all Skeel is the only logical aspirant for the role of strangler. He's the only one with a visible motive; he s the only one against whom there's any evidence." Vance sighed wearily. "Yes, yes. Finger-prints chisel marks. You're such a trustiu' soul, Markham. Skeel's - finger-prints are round m the apartment; t hero- lore, Skeel strangled the lady., So .beastly simple. Why bother furth ;er? Send Skeel to the chair, and that's that! . . .

"I'm pimiin' my childish faith on Mannix," said Vance. "I don't know why I should; but he's not a nice man, ami he's suppressing behind his words. But he receiv ed no enlightenment from Vauce's features. The warning, however, had been enough to halt him. You don't want to know where something.
