A curious ale- vatlon of the luussle, eh? Did you expect a fox over five feet high?" Peace brought out the words with a snap, but the keeper auswered him without healtatlon. "That la ths polut,' sir." he said "That la why I atn not responsible lor the master's death. I aet tbe gun at a level of eight Inchee from the ground, which I reckoned would take the fox about the shoulder. Bolue one altered tbe elevation of the uius- ale after I had gone." "The second forked stick that sup ported the gun was In the mud. Might It not have sunk under the weight, and thus raised the musile?" "No, sir. I had pushed It through the mud down to the gravel It was a good foot deeper when I went to look at It. A man must have used great lores to got it so far through the gravel." "What became of the gun?" “After they carried Sir Andrew away, I muat have gone off my head Tor awhile What would they say to me for setting such a trap for tny mas- ter? That was the only thing I could think about I ran back and pulled up the sticks, aud carried away the gun to the cottage hero.” "Hut you saw tbe pollveman arrest the man whom we may presume to be the murderer?"

It was eleven o’clock on the follow Ing day when Peace was announced I was sitting In the garden of my friend’s cottage smoking my pipe and rending the paper From within the villa came tbe sound of whistling that told of my host working at hla Acad emy picture. "Why. Peace.” I said, "wbat brings you here?” He seated himself on a corner of tbe garden bench and lit a cigarette "1 went to London laat night.” he told me.
