Living on the adjoining estate, is murdered. Montieth want ed Mary, his niece, to marry For rest's son, David, and said be would disinherit her if she refused. Mary is secretly in love with an artist, Howard Cms old. Forrest's son-in-law, Harlan Stevenson, writer of crime mysteries, is asked to help solve the mystery. He finds that Montieth was killed with a knife which , was disguised as . a silver rood. This was hanging on the wall its another. room front where Mon tieth was found. M ary, it is learned, left the party for a half hour that afternoon. Gnswold, ordered to keep away by Mottieth, weeks be fore, wit also on the grounds. Mary, however, swears he was not tibere. CHAPTER VI - "Nate is old and forgetful. I tell you, Mr. Stevenson, Howard wasn't here today. I am glad you believe me I nodded and stared at the silver rood on the wall, . "That's odd," I said, pointing to ?it: "Mr. Montieth wasn't much of religious man.' Mazy glanced at it. There was bo sign of any sort of emotion in her expression. "That silver rood ? It has no relig ions significance, or, I mean, it had nont to Uncle (Jerry, it was some sort of an ornament he picked up "abroad, years and years ago. Once he said it was give- to him as a sort of reward of merit. "Did be ever explain?" "No more. IS yon navenrt any more questions FJost a minute, Mary." 1 turned and took the rood from the wall and held it before her. I pressed the ratchet catch with my thumb nail and the still slightly stained blade dropped down into view. "Oh!" Mary gasped and her eyes depicted amazement and no more, I . was sure. "How how sort f awful a knife out of a crucifixl Bat wha She caught her breath. "Was it done with that T" she asked, huskily. "We have every reason to believe se. The autopsy -rill decide that. They have taken the blade measure ments.' I held it out for her to take- She took it without hesitation and examined it. If she had used it to kill someone, within a few hoars, she could never have touched it again, I believed. Then she said a surprising thing. "Even if Howard Gnswold had been here today aid he wasn't he wouldn't have known about this. have seen this almost all my life and never knew that it was a knife, and Howard was never Inside the house, much less the Library. Ha has been on the front veranda and that is nlL Don t von seel "I dont see much very clearly Marv. Why not tell me the truth T . She lifted her head and looked me aeain. "I love Howard, and ha loves me. Uncle Gerry didn't approve, that's all. He was here this afternoon for a few minutes. Undo had forbidden me to see him again. I did meet him down in the old-faihioned garden. for about hair an iiour. we mnkinr nlans." . "It would have bem better if ytm i.-i told me at first.

Davison says he never knew that the silver rood was a disguised stiletto," "I don't believe that he did. 1 dont believe anyone, other than Uncle Gerry, knew about it." For the present, I advised, tell no one about Griswold, or your ab sence from the party. It will have to come out later." Mary promised. I sent her back upstairs and went out to where Sergeant Harper and Foxeroft were questioning the servants. .! - because today that uncle intended to c - it T didn't marry Dave." ; "Bat you did tell him, this after- v Te. Ha was going to give me aiI wouldn't let him. Ha' won-derfui--he fsnl poo&vHA..rt instructor. We can gtrt along. Doa t stranger or anyone you knew out there with Mr. Montieth 7" "No sir." Mrs. Johnson straight ened up and stared at Harper. "If Mr. Montieth died a natural death, why so many questions?'' she de manded. "Yon are not to mention this to the servants or anyone else, but Mr. Montieth was murdered," Foxeroft told her. She was silent a moment. Then she said, "Poor Miss Mary she must have known, which explains why she seemed to be filled with hor ror, although she told me nothing." "May I ask a question I" I said, to Foxeroft. Certainly." "How how sort of awful a knife out of a crucifix !" Mary gasped. Harper- was questioning Mrs. Johnson, the housekeeper. They were taking them, one by one, from the servant's hall, so that the others wouldn't know what had been asked or answered. Mrs. John son was a highly intelligent woman of around forty. I had Just come in as Sergeant Harper started his questions. She was saying, "Two years, next March." I guessed, correctly, that this was the time she had come to work for Montieth. "Would yon have opportunity to see anyone who might come or go from the library." "Occasionally. As housekeeper I go about to see that all the work is done properly. Mr. Montieth was inclined to be quite sarcastic if he saw a speck of dust. Not that 1 blame him. He kept a large staff of servants and paid them well." "Did yea see anyone today in the Hbrary I mean, any caller?" , . Tea sir Chat is, on the library porch." She turned and looked at me. "I saw Mr. Stevenson out there. Davisoa aerved a drink." -1 nodded at her. "I was passing through the re ception halL The library door was open. Mr. Montieth was standing, holding a book in his hand. "What time?" "After twe. I couldn't say as to the wiw-.es. "About half past two," X said. " knew about that, Sergeant," Foxeroft interrupted. "Mr. Mon tieth was up and around a half hour after that, Davison says." - 1 manageJ not te smile at the sharp way Harper glanced at me. - "Did you see anyone else around three o'clock, or three thirty any Quotations at Portland BROOKS Rev.

I asked. "Rood ? Silver rood Oh, the cru cifix the large one with engraving on it?" I nodded. "Has it been stolen?" "Oh no, it is right there. Do you know anything about it?" No sir. I know that Mr. Mon tieth wasn't what is called a relig ious man. I never gave much thought to it It might have been merely an ornament, or some work of art. I wouldn't know about such things." "Did you ever handle it?" -Oh no." That was all. I asked Mrs. John son to send in the maid who cleaned and dusted the library. Her name was Jackson. She knew nothing about the silver rood. In fact, she didn't know what we meant by "rood." She said she always thought it waa a cross. Ke, she had never taken it down; she had dusted it, along with the other things, but didnt think she had ever actually touched it. We could, she said, search all of her belongings. She, too, thought it had been stolen. Harper set her mind at rest about this. "You wouldn't see anyone any caller, would you?" Harper asked. "If they came about nine they seldom did I would see them, as that is the hour I dusted the library." "And you saw no stranger this afternoon?" . "No stranger" Miss Jackson sudde&y caught her breath.

The news picture, while spotty, showed little change and broker age quarters attributed the fur ther setback in the last partly to weak securities markets abroad, and continued doubts regarding business trends. Some "bargain buying" and short covering were said to have been principally responsible for the recovery move on the final lap.
