“ Of coursp.“ growled the doctor, “ I ’ll

because the subject was running

“ He might have made us think so If
he had stopped there," said Ashton,
“ hut his subsequent testimony made
It perfectly clear that he wns lying.
He told the coroner thut after watch­
ing that lighted window shade for a
few moments, he had walked away
and gone straight home, and that wns
all he knew about -It. Then the coroner
questioned hltn more closely as to the
appearance of the woman. He de­
scribed her very fully. He said she
was young, pretty, dark, nnd that she

“ That thick-witted deputy coroner
seemed to find nothing extraordinary
In this description, and did not ask
him how he could distinguish black
hair from blond, or a green clonk from
a yellow by Its shadow And not one
of his precious Jurors Inquired about
It, either. So his testimony went en
tlrely unchallenged. Of course I could
have spoken up, but I was only too
glad to let the thing go until tomor­
row morning, when I shall have the
young man to myself.”
I could gee by the wrinkles about
the doctor's eyes that his good hu
mor was returning. “ So It's perfectly
clear to you, Is It,” he asked, “ that
this young man. according to his lights,
wasn’t telling the exact truth? Yon

might see a great light and w on't
Haven’t you any category In your
tnlnd at all between truth and lies?
Don’t you allow for any margin of Il­
lusion ?”
“ Illusion I” Ashton snorted. “ Do yon
really believe that a man could testify
as Harvey did. In perfectly good faith?
Do you believe a sane man’s tnlnd could
play him a trick like that? What was
there to give him Illusions?”
“ Association,” said Doctor McAlister
bluntly. “ The profile he saw In sil­
houette wns associated, In his mind,
with some woman with black hair, and
the high-collared clonk connected It­
self In his mind with some clonk of
the same shape that he hnd previously
seen, which happened to be green In
color. Consequently, he thought of the
woman whose shadow he saw upon the
simile as a black-haired woman wltb
a green clonk.”
It was clear to me that Ashton hnd
been Impressed with the reasonable­
ness of Doctor McAlister's explana­
tions, nnd yet he was unwilling to ad­
mit to himself that the Impression hnd
been made. Before he could think of
any comment that would he sufficient­
ly noncommittal, Doctor McAlister
chanced the subject.
“ You've searched the house pretty
thoroughly, I suppose," he said. “ Have
you found anything besides that
vaguely suggested connection with
New Zealand that plnceg your man at
all? Have you ntiy Indication how he
pnssed the time? What sort of books
he read. If he read at all, or what he
did to amuse himself?”
“ He had one queer hobby," said
Ashton, “ nnd that was geography. He
had literally hundreds of maps, Inrge
scnle maps of the whole of the south­
ern Pacific."
I saw my chiefs eyes light up at
that, and waited, with a good deal of
Interest, for what he meant to say to
tills rather unpromising looking elew.
But Just then we were Interrupted.
Wilkins came up mid hen I over his
chair.
“ Doctor Reinhardt has tele­
phoned to you. sir,” he said “ Shall I
put an instrument on the table?”
“ Thank you, Wilkins, Yes, I'll talk
with Doctor Bclnhardl right here.”
A moment Inter a portable telephone
wns set down beside the doctor’s cof­
fee cup. When he hnd bung lip the
receiver, nnd motioned to a waiter to
take the telephone away, he turned to
me—
“ Reinhardt says he's got a queer
case out nt St. Martin's. He wants
me to come out, posthaste, nnd hnve •»
look at It. You'll go with me, won't
you? From whnt he says, It may
prove Interesting."
I nodded assent, and we both rose
from the table.
“ You'll excuse us, won't you?" said
Doctor McAlister to Ashton. "Look
me up In the morning and I'll give you
those addresses."
Ashton rose, too. “ I suppose you
wouldn't care to take me over to the
hospital with you?” he hazarded.
My chief looked a little surprised,
and, perhaps, for an Instantaneous
moment, he hesitated; hut then he
said heartily: “ Why. we'd be glad to
hnve you come. Itelnhnrdt won't ob­
ject. I'm sure, only I'm afraid you
may find us rather dull company when
we get going on our hohhles."
“ I'll go with you as far ns the hos­
pital, anyway," Ashton said. "I'd like
your company, and. If possible. I'd
like to get this confounded murder
out of my head for an hour or two.
And If you find you don't want a lay-
mnn about when It comes to examin­
ing the patient, why I can wait out­
side,"
It had occurred to me when Ashton
expressed his wish to forget the Oak
Itldge murder for an hour or two. that
he was choosing his company badly In
offering to go out to the hospital wltb
us. hut I soon found I wns mistaken

his guest to discuss the subject that
