THE BOLTED DOOR
"Why, yes," Wtrelow said in It
aly to ttat coroner' aueston. "Kane
aeemed well. H mad X hod dtamar
Ot the Cosmos Club; he at very
moderately, so much so that I com
mental on It, and he told me he
ovas overweight." He paused and
looked at -Jack out of the orner
of his eye, attceted by the tat
ter's heavy breathing. "Kane said
tie had been troubled by attacks
of vertigo."
"Oh!" Cooner Penfleld leaned
forward and pulled down the sheet
spread over the dead man, expos
ing nis head and aaouiders.
"Was Kane wearing a coat whan
you picked htm upf maked the
coroner after a brief pause.
"No," replied Winslow. "He was
Just as he Is now," pointing to the
once white shirt, now torn i
blood stained. "He was lying hud
dled on his right side when Glover,
Jack and I brought him in here."
Suddenly Wlnslow's feelings mas
tered him and he covered his eyes
with a shaking hand. "Kant and
X have been friends for mam
years," he mumbled.
Ooaoner Penfleld nodded sympa-
thaUeally. "I understand, Mr. Wlns-
iaw," and he looked across at Dr.
lawnard McLane, who, wtth Thome,
had been a silent witness of Abe
avana. "My colleague," bowing
slightly to McLane, "will tell you
that In a case of accidental death
such as this, an autopsy will have
to be Held."
Winslow's hand dropped from his
eyes and a startled look crept Into
them. "An autopsy oexe? itt stam
mered. 'No, at the morgue," then, read
Ing the protest trembling on Wins
low's lips the coroner added: "I
can realize your feelings, Mr. Wins
low; to have your friend taken
away and his body subjected to an
examination seems horrible to vou;
but, I assure you, sir, the law must
be complied with."
Winslow's glance dropped to the
floor and for a second he could not
speak; then he looked up and
caught McLane's eye.
"Go with them, Leonard " he said
brokenly. Do everything for Kane,
and turning tie stumbled out of
the voom.
Within fifteen minutes the under
taker's car had driven off, followed
Immediately by that of the coroner,
and McLane was about to enter his
coupe when Wins low appeared at
the front door. .
"Just a moment, Leonard," draw
ing close to the surgeon's vide.
"How did you find Julia?"
"Your wife was resting quietly
when I left her before Coroner
Penfleld came." Dr. McLane open
ed the door of his car. "Should
she show any further inclination to
ward hysterics administer another
dose of bromide. "
But Winslow shook off McLane's1
friendly hand with a scowl winch!
deepened as, reentering the house,
he aaw Jack talking cacrerly with
Ebia's trained nurse. They both
looked up at his approach. Jack
was the first to speak. ;
"Can I do anything for you ki
town. Dad?" he asked, aifd almost
before Winslow could answer, he
held up a bottle. "You are sure,
Miss Kline there Is nothing else!
Miss Chase wishes?" . 1
''Quite sure." The nurse con
sulted her watch. "I have to give
her the medic hie before ten o'
clock." 'I'll be back with It,- and snatch
ing up his overcoat and hat, Jack
was halfway to the garage before
Winslow moved from the front
door. It was with slow and heavy
tread thnt lie joined Thorne In the
card room.
"That girl's sent for more medi
cine," he muttered, and, catching
Thome's stare, "Elsa Chase al
ways wanting medicine bah "
"But In her Invalid condition"
"Ah. that'-s Ihe point." Winslow's
ynlep fell ahmvrt 1o a whisper and
to make certain
they wee alone. "Is she a cripple?"
ftMTDc regarded him with etor
tied eyes. "You mean "
"Wa had doubts, my whe and
I oh, no matter now what gave
rise to them and I sent for Kane."
Winslow cleared his throat, a ner
vous habit with him. "Kane ex
asaiaad her lost night
-Well, what -did bo find out?"
ml dont know," with an expres
sive gesture. "Kane died before
I saw sum again."
"Where were you while Dr. Kane
was interviewing Miss Chase?" he
asked finally.
"Here, playing poker,"- briefly.
"Kane went sumight to bis bed
room evidently after making the
examination, for he had left his
suit case upstairs."
"Suppose," Thorne'i soft tones
quickened, "suppose wo go to Dr.
Kane's bedroom.
Winslow paused before a closed
door and opened It, standing back
to permit the detective to enter
first
On a btmeau lay a leather bill
folder with the cad of a match
protruding from It Deftly with a
steel instrument, so as not to leave
finger marks, Thorne opened the
bill folder. Within the leather lay
three matches with red tips and
blue tops. 4 "
"Thome, come here!" The im
perative call was low pitched.
"This bathroom door Is locked."
Try too other"
"There is none; this is the only
entrance to the private bath belong
ing to this bedroom." Winslow drew
out big handkerchief and wiped the
beads of perspiration off his lore
head. "Kane fell out of the win
dow of this bathroom."
Thorne reached the door and ap
plied his eye to the keyhole, then
kneeling in a less cramped position,
ne uxk irom nis pocaet wiiat p-
peared to be a small box with glass
ends. Hon ing it to his eye, ne
again gazed through the keyhole
and the small box, a periscope, in
effect, enabled him to see all of the
tilehned bathroom.
