WHAT HAPPENED BEPOBE
Simon Judd, amateur detective, and
William Dart, an undertaker, are visit
ing John Drane, eccentric man of wealth
at the Drane place. Suddenly the house
hold Is shocked to find that John Drane
la murdered. The dead man la first
seen by Josle, the maid, then by Amy
Drane and Simon Judd. The latter
faints.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
When Simon Judd returned to
consciousness It was largely because
of the pain in the ear and when he
tried to move his head he could not
do so. For a moment or two he was
unable to remember where he was
or how he came there for, cloBe to
his eyes, was what seemed to be an
enormous black pillar. It seemed to
be, as his senses returned, a most
unaccountable thing a low black
shoe out of which arose a phenom
enally large ankle, and when he put
his hand to his ear he was no long
er in doubt, a foot was Btanding on
his ear. Someone was standing with
one heel against his nose and the
toe of the other foot on his ear, and
he tried to push the latter foot
away.
"Lave be! Sthop it, you!" a
hoarse voice whispered, but the foot
removed itself from his ear and
Simon Jud sat up. He found him
self encompassed by skirts and he
backed out from among them and
got to his feet. He was in a group
at the door of John Drane'a room;
evidently he had been unconscious
but a moment or two, for Amy
Drane was still standing in horror
on the threshold. The maid Josie
still lay where she had fallen, but
there were now others peering into
the room. Norbert, the colored
houseman, was there, and the big
foot that had been pressed against
Simon Judd's nose was that of the
cook, a woman almost as enormous
as Simon Judd himself. Behind the
cook was a second maid, Zella, with
her hands pressed against her
cheeks, and Drane'a chauffeur was
running up the stairs. To him Si
mon Judd turned.
"John Drane's been murdered,"
Simon Judd said to the chauffeur.
"I can't look at him; I faint off at
the sight of blood. Always did and
dare say I always will. This here
girl's fainted, too. Help me get
her onto a bed somewhere and out
of the way or she's like to be
trompled. Here, you!"
He touched Zella on the shoulder.
"You come and get this girl out
of her faint," he said. "Where we
goin' to put her?"
"Here this way," Zella said,
crossing the hall and opening a
door. "Miss Amy's room. Let me
help you, George. You and me
take her shoulders and he can take
her feet. Go easy, George she's
got heart trouble."
They carreid Josie to the bed in
Amy's room and Simon Judd fol
lowed the chauffeur into the hall.
"If you know who the family doc
tor is you better send for him,"
Judd said. "You better send for
the police, too; this ain't my baili
wick." "Yes, I'll do that," the chauffeur
said. He, at least, was efliciently
businesslike. "You better not let
them touch anything in there, un
less he's alive yet."
"I know all that, young man,"
Judd said. "I'll take hold here; you
get a move on."
"til telephone," the chauffeur
said, and he started for the stairs,
but the cook took his arm.
"George! Ain't it awful? Ain't
it just awful!" she cried.
"Mighty bad, Maggie," he said,
"but don't you get excited about
it. You keep calm; you don't want
to fetch on another of those spells
of yours. You better go down and
take a take a drink of water or
something."
"Yes, I'll be doin' just that," she
said. "It's terrible, George; a mur
der right in the house. Who done
it, d' ye think?"
"We can't tell that yet," he said
"Come on, if you want me to help
you down. I got to 'phone the doc
and the police."
Simon Judd turned toward the
murdered man's room. He put his
hand over his eyes to hide the dead
man from sight
"Now, you see here, Miss Amy,"
he said. "You better go downstairs
awhilo until the doctor comes; that
man of yours is sending for him
and for the police. There ain't
nothln' to be done until they come."
"No, nothing to be done," she said
and turned, and then, suddenly, she
broke into sobs and threw herself
against Simon Judd, weeping tem
pestuously on his shoulder.
"He was all I had!" she sobbed.
He was so good to me; he was so
kind to me!"
'There, there!" Simon Judd com
forted her. "I know just how you
feel, girl. You can cry all you want
to, It won't do you no mite of harm.
All of you keep out of that room!"
he ordered, and then to the weep
ing girl again: "I don't feel right
comfortable about that hired girl
we put in your room; the other one
said how she has heart trouble. I
don't know but what you might help
in there some, if you feel up to it."
Josie? Amy asked. "In my
room? Yes; I'll go to her."
She wiped her eyes and hurried
across the hall, and Simon Judd
looked after her.
There's a real kid," he said to
himself. "If that's a flapper she
ain't flapped none of the common
sense out of her yet, anyhow!"
He looked at those remaining at
John Drane's door.
"Say, look here!" he said sudden
ly. "Where's that other feller; the
man with the whiskers. What did
John say his name was? Dart?"
The housekeeper turned.
"Mr. Dart? Yes sir. Why, I don't
know where Mr. Dart is. I made
up the blue guest room for him. Mr.
Drane said he was going to stay the
night."
I left him down theer In the par
lor, or whatever you call it, when I
come up to bed," Simon Judd said.
'They had something to talk over,
seemed like. I guess maybe they
talked late; maybe he ain't up yet"
'See, Norbert, if he s in his room.
Mis. Vincent ordered and the negro
went He came back at once.
No, ma'am," he said. "He ain't
in his room; his bed ain't been slep'
in. I guess he got so mad "
You guess what?" Simon Judd
demanded.
"I said mad," said Norbert, "I
mean mad. What I mean is I've
got this cough on my chist and I
been takln' medicine for it The
doc gives me a medicine for to alle
viate the cough, and he says take a
swaller whenever the cough comes
upon me, and last night I leaves the
bottle down there. So when I starts
to cough I go down to get my bot
tle. Yes, sir!"
What time was it?" Simon Judd
asked.
Well, I don't rightly know. May
be one o'clock, maybe two o'clock.
I ain't look at no timepiece, I jus
starts down. And when I get on the
steps here I hear Mist' Drane and
Mist' Dart talkin' together an' Mist'
Dart he surely Is mighty mad about
it Yes sir! swearin' and cussin';
yes, sir! Mighty mad! So I don'
go down. I comes up."
What were they talking about
Simon Judd asked.
'Now, that I don' know," said
Norbert "I ain' listen; it ain' none
of my business what gentlemens
talk about I jus' comes up."
The chauffeur George came up
the stairs.
"I got Doctor Blessington," he
told Simon Judd. "He'll be right
out And I got the police station;
they're sending men.
In fact the police officers arrived
almost immediately, the local head
quarters having telephoned to the
station nearby. They came, two of
them, on popping motorcycles which
they parked alongside the veranda,
and entered the house together.
From the top of the stairs Simon
Judd bade them to come up.
"No one been In the room?" one
of the officers asked as he saw the
group at the door.
"No one," Simon Judd told them.
"Not that I know of, anyway," and
he told of having heard the scream
of the girl Josie and of coming at
once from his room. The officers
entered the room.
"Looks like murder, Joe," one
said.
"Sure is murder," the other re
plied. "Looks to me like a case
for Brenny."
"Yes; he ought to get on it right
away, too. You better go down and
'phone headquarters; I'll stay here.
This man's dead, all right Any
body sent for a doctor?"
"One's coming," Simon Judd said.
"We're going to have Brennen on
this case, most likely," the officer
said. "They hand him most of these
murders these days. He's a good
one; he'll clear this up in no time
if there's any clear up to it He's
the best man we've got on Long
Island. Who's that?"
It was Dr. Blessington entering
the house. He came up the stairs,
a small black case in his hand.
'In there?" he said and entered
John Drane's room. Below, the sec
ond officer was telephoning head
quarters. "Ah, good morning offi
cer!" he said to the man In John
Drane's room. "Murder, is it? Too
bad! This sort of thing is getting
altogether too numerous. You might
ask these folks to go downstairs.
We'll Just close this door."
"And all of you hang around
down there, see?" said the officer.
"There'll be questions to be asked."
Come! We ll go down, said Si
mon Judd and, as Amy Drane came
from the room where the maid Josie
lay, he stood back to make way for
her. "She doin' all right?" he ask
ed. "That's good. The cop wants
us to go down and wait; the doc
tor's in there."
They went down. The servants
went into the dining room off the
hall and waited there, and Simon
Judd an dAmy went onto the ver
anda. The girl sat twisting her
hands, saying nothing, now and
again wiping her eyes, and when
the doctor came down the stairs
did rot arise. She held her hand
kerchief over her quivering mouth.
Dr. Blessington came out onto the
veranda and set down his black
case. His face was drawn into ser
ious lines and he was frowning.
"You are Mr. Drane's niece his
grand niece, I believe?" he said.
"And this gentleman?"
"Why, I'm just a feller that knew
John when he was a boy," explained

"How long Is It since you saw him
last, before yesterday?" Dr. Bless
ington asked.
"Thirty-five years," said Simon
Judd.
"That Is a long time; he is greatly
changed since then, isn't he "
"Well, yes," Simon Judd admitted.
"Yes, John had changed quite a bit
Just as bony as ever and so on, but
a lot older."
"Would you have known him if
you had not known he was John
Drane? Would you have recognized
him, for example, If you had met
him on the street by chance?"
Simon Judd rubbed the back of
his head thoughtfully.
"Now, that's a hard one, doc!" he
said at length. " I might have, and
I might not have. Maybe not. It's
been so blame long since I saw John
last Why, what are you getting at
anyway?"
Dr. Blessington turned to Amy.
"I wanted to tell you this myself,
Miss Drane," he said, "for I know
it will be a shock to you. The 'man'
up there in the bed, the murdered
'man,' the 'man' we have known as
John Drane, is not a man at all.
'He' is a woman!"
