THE war was now carried into Vu

his victory at Guilford courthouse, and ,
had marched northward along the coast
to Petersburg . in. Virginia. Here he
took over the command front Benedict
Arnold, who for the past five months
had been lying waste the country alonx

Richmond and Manchester, and had
conducted his campaign ; with great
brutality, venting upon;; his - former

without support and could- not accom

from- Nw ' England, had suffered
greatly from the heat, and in Baltimore
La Fayette had managed to borrow a
little money with which he had bought
materials for summer uniforms. The
good women of the' city had hastily
sewed 'the clothes together for the

were other troubles there were mos
quitoes. When Cornwall's arrived, La
Fayette was in . Richmond with 2500
men. Cornwall! moved to attack him,
but La Fayette moved north, .nd . for
several months led the British around
the northern part of the state in ? a
game of follow the leader. Finally
they grew weary of this fruitless chase
and returned to . the coast. They
stopped in ; Portsmouth for a " short
time, but in August they moved up to
Yorktown. - which they fortified as
strongly a they could. Clinton had
sent orders to Comwallis to keep near

two medical men.
"We heard from the manager that

said Dr. Orwin. "Well, we made- a

men. - You understand what I m

locked, and ; went .alone to the room
in which James lay dead.. Most folks
who knew Marshall Allerdyke consid
ered him a : hard; unsentimental man,
but . there were tears in his eyes as
he stooped over -his cousin's body and
laid bis hand on the cold forehead.
Once more he broke Into familiar, mut
tered speech.

he said. ; "Aught foul or underhand.

Then ' he stooped .lower and kissed
the dead man's cheek, and pressed the
still hands. It was with an effort that
be turned away and regained his lf
command and it wa in that moment
that his eyes, slightly blurred as they
were, caught eight of an object whicl
lay half-concealed by a corner of the
hearth-ruga glittering, shining ob
ject, which threw back the gleam of
the still burning -electrio Uight. He
strode acroes the room and picked it
np the gold - buckle of a 1 woman's
shoe, studded with reaL If tiny, dia-
monaa
Allerdyke carried his JRnd away to
his room and carefully examined It
ine oucKie was of real gold r the atones
set In it were real diamonds, small
though they were. He dedrced two
Ideas from . these facts one. that the
owner was a woman who loved pretty
and expensive things : the other, that
she must have a certain natural care
lessness about. her not to have noticed
that the buckle was loose on her shoe.
But a he put the buckle safely away
In his own traveling bag. he began to
speculate on matters of deeper Im
port how did It come to be lying there
in James Allerdyke's room? How long
naa it neen lying there? Had its owner
been Into that room recently? Had
she. la fact, been In the room, since
Jsjnea Allerdyke took possession f
o nis arrival at. the hotel?
He realised the possibility of various
answers to these Questions. The buckle
might have been dropped by a former
occupant of the room. But was that
likely? .Would an y object sparkling
wiu diamonds have escaped the. eyes
f '' even av careless chambermaid?
Would It have escaped the keener eyes
Of James Allerdyke? ? Anyhow, that
question ; could ; easily be settled by
finding eut how long that particular
room had . been unoccupied before
Jamea was put Into it. A much Jnore
important uetion "was had the
owner of the buckle been in the room

a waiting game. -
