I think hi like to hit Mrs. langaon witn stone." Again the stories checked. This was the quarrel and threat of which Adam, himself, had told Marts. "What happened then, Togi?" Sidney led on. "Mr. Langdon act strange after that Lock self in Jungle. I gi out into garden and look through win dow to see how he is. I worried. I see him standing on same block be side new lioness as when he die. He have tiny gun In his hand. Ht lift and aim at porcupine. It make small noise like pop. Then he low er gun. He match point of elbow with button on vest. Then he aim again but not fire. He get range, I think. Then he put little gun back on rack." Sidney had gone white. "Go on," he said tensely. "When time come to go for drive to Country Club Mrs. Langdon send me to call Mr. Langdon," the Japanese continued. "Mr. Lang don swear at me. Say, 'Go way.' Miss Nella always his favorite. She go down to coax him. He act like crazy. He open door and strike her head." , Nella had told him of her strug gle with Adam, adding that when Adam had realized what he had done, he had cried like a child. Then, getting control of himself, he had joined them in the drive. "And then, Togi?" Sidney prompted, wiping . perspiration trom his lace. "I think first he strike Miss Hempfield like strike Miss Nella. It not so bad to shoot when hit first I think if I tell it help Miss Hemplield." "Such testimony would help had she really shot Langdon. Have you told anyone else of this?" "Not anyone. Lawyer know best. I tell you." "Keep it to yourself until I tell you what to do about it What happened to that electric perco lator which used to be used for coffee?" . "No could find. You want?' Togi asked in surprise. "No, not now," Sidney said. He spent the next half hour ex amining the Jungle. He found the porcupine at - which Togi said Adam had aimed; noted its posi tion, just behind the end of the coffee table and its relation to the block on which the new lioness stood.

No human being was in sight but it seemed to Sidney that the quiet dusk was alive with eyes. An other trooper had replaced Mur phy, man with a gift for keep ing out of sight and yet he seemed to be everywhere. When Sidney noticed a dim fig ure moving in the shadow of the grove he decided it must be the trooper. It was too dark for posi tive identification, but he could see that the man had a bundle of some kind under his arm. Brait wood threw awiy his cigaret and followed. Keeping a safe distance behind, he moved on toward the thicket. It was quiet He could hear the distant voice of the brook and an occasional strring in the grove at his left, where some small animal moved in darkness. He listened for the crunch of leaves under stealthy feet ahead. With no more than a dozen yards between them, stalker and stalked came to the edge of the thicket, where a narrow trail led through tall trees to the summit of Langdon Knoll. It a cloud had not obliterated an appearing moon, Braitwood might have recognized the man as he turned to enter the trail, but in the darkness he lost sight of him altogether. He knew that the man must be just ahead, and he followed. Presently the trail led into an open patch shaded by a huge oak. From the scrape, scrape of shin against bark and the agitation in the upper branches of the tree, he guessed that the fellow must be climbing. But why? In that blackness nothing could be seen. Or did the man know he was being followed? Did he hope to elude his pursuer in that way? Perhaps the fellow was not a trooper, but someone who had a bundle to hide. The leafy screen offered a far safer haven than a tell-tale grave. Concealing himself behind a bush, Sidney waited. Plowman had suspected Henry Brakes. If Brakes came down out of that tree, did it mean that the trooper captain had reasoned cor rectly? It would seem so and yet, deep within his mind, Sidney held stubbornly to another theory of the crime. A shower of leaves rained down as the moon slid from behind the cloud. A leg appeared. The fel low dropped to the ground. . (To Be Continued) LITTLE ORPHAN ANNLE LODGES MEET ' COBURG.
