" I’m coming to that, now,” contln-
Bed Eccleshare. " I had told I’arslave
to meet me on the path between High
Cap lodge and the Woodcock about
eight o'clock. I «trolled out to meet
him, aa eoon as dinner was over at
Courthope’s. That would be about
ten minutes to eight We met a little
to the further side— the side nearest
the Woodcock—of Reiver's den. As
ta r ns I can recollect, It would then
be Just after eight o’clock. We stood
a few minutes, talking. Then—"
“A moment, If you please,” Inter
rupted Maythorne.
He produced a
memorandum book, and laying It open
on the table before him, drew Ec-
cleshare’s attention to a rough dia
gram penciled on one of the pages.
"Here’s a sketch that I made the day
of my arrival at the Woodcock,” he
said. “A sketch of the paths across
the moor. Now there are two paths
that lead from the direction of High
Cap lodge and go townrds the Wood
cock. One leads directly across the
front of Reiver's den, at the very foot
of the rocks— we'll call that the higher
one. The other Is some fifteen or
twenty yards lower down—amongst
the heather; we’ll call that the lower
one. Which path were you and Par-
slave on?”
Eccleshare bent over the dlagrnm
for a moment, twisting It round so os
to get a clear Idea of its geography.
He put his finger on a spot.
“We were about there," he said. "On
the lower one. Rut—I don’t know If
you've mnde It quite plain—those two
paths (one, the lower one's a mere
sheep track) almost meet on the west
Bide, the High Cap lodge side of
Reiver's den, near Cowie's cottage.
They're only separated there by a yard
or two. Then the lower one goes
away through the heather to the top
Bide of High Cap lodge; the other
one passes High Cup lodge on the
lower side at fifty or sixty ynrds dis
tance and breaks Into the moorland
road to Cloughthwalte.”
I “Well,” sold Maythorne. "Anyway
~y&u and Parslave were on the lower
one?"
. "We were on the lower one— per
haps a hundred yards from Reiver's
den, And,” continued Eccleshare, "as

(here was a distinct echo from the
hocks. We heard nothing follow—no
cry, scream, anything of thut sort.
Neither of us took any particular no
tice— I think we each had the same
Idea; that It was a gamekeeper who
was after something.
In fact, we
heeded It so little that we went on
talking about our own business for a
minute or ;wo after the shot was fired.
Then because It was time for Par-
slave to he getting on to catch his
train we moved—coming over to the
other puth because It lends directly
to the moorland road. We had Just

along from the direction of Reiver's

hushes close by, and—I really don't

"In which direction?” asked May
thorne.
"Townrds Marrnsdale,” replied Ec
cleshare.
"And then?” suggested Maythorne
after a brief pause.
"Then Parslave and I went on again
— he was getting pressed for time. We
neither heard nor saw anything there.
We passed Cowie's cottage. Yon say
Cowie saw us together. Probable I—
but we never saw him. We walked
quickly across the moor, struck the
high road, and parted. I went Into
High Cap lodge, and Parslave— but
let Parslave himself tell you what he
did."
We all turned to Parslave. who still
sat perched on the edge of a chair
near the door, twiddling Ills thumbs.
"Went straight along the road to
Petherby station, then," said Parslave.
"Caught the nine-fifteen train— last

Newcastle at ten-fifty. Put up at s

Bight. Went to see Mr. Gramm, the

got a bit of a snack and then caught

to King's Cross at a quarter to seven
that evening. Came straight here—
and been here ever since.”
“Let me ask Parslave a question
while I think of It,” said Crole. “Par-
slave!—do you mean to say that since
you left Marrasdale, you’ve never
heard of the murder there?—from the
newspapers?"
“I can't read, sir," answered Par-
slave. “I ’ve no scholarship. Can't
neither read nor write.”
“Rut you’ve been In the company of
Doctor
Eccleshare’«
housekeeper,”
continued Crole. "Do you mean to
say that she's never read anything
about It to you—out of the papers?”
Parslave shook his head.
“No, sir—she hasn’t,” be replied.
“Don’t seem a paper-reading woman,
that. Her reads them story papers—
tales—such like. Rut I ain't seen her
a-readlng of newspapers.”
“Well, but you’ve no doubt been Ip
the habit since you've been here, of
going out to have a glass of ale at
some public bouse or other," persisted
Crole. “Have you never heurd It men
tioned at such times?”
"No, sir,” answered Parslave, with
solemn assurance. "Never! I always
go out to take a pint of ale at the
public up the street, but I ain't never
tnlked to nobody—don't understand
this London talk—'tls all so much
furrln language to roe. And I ain’t
never heard nobody talking of the
murder.”
"You can tnke It from me, Mr.
Crole,” said Eccleshare, “that Par-
slave never heard of Mnzaroff’s mur
der at all until last night, when I re
turned home. I told him— we had a
talk Inst night shout our own experi
ences near Reiver's den that evening—
In the light of what we remembered,
of course.”
"That's Just what I want to ask
you some questions about, Doctor,”
said Crole. "It seems to roe that
we're getting nearer a solution of this
mystery than we've ever been before.
Now, you won't mind If I ask you a
few straightforward questions?”
^Ask mfc anything you like,” replied
Ecclesharé.
"You were at the Inquest on Masa-
rolTs body at the Woodcock,” said
Crjls. "You gnve evidence-»"
“Purely professional evidence," In
terrupted Eccleshare.
“Precisely—hs to tiie cause of death,"
assented Crole. “Now, why didn’t you
tell the coroner and the Jury what
you've told us Just now?”
"And—If I may put a word In," said
Manners, qulekly, “why didn’t you tell
us—the police—all you've Just told us
nbout Parslave, when you knew quite
well that we were looking lor him?"
“As to your question, Manners, I
wasn't awnre of the hue-and-cry for
Parslave to the extent you think,”
answered
Eccleshare.
"My

Crole summoned our undivided at

table. He went forward to Eccleshare.
“ Now, Doctor I" he said.
"Don't

let's get nt the truth, however un
pleasant It may be. Did you form any
opinion aa to who that woman wns?”
Eccleshare made a gesture of dis
like at the situation. Rut he bowed
his head and replied without hesita
tion.
“I did I—certainly I"
“Who was she?7
"Mrs. Elphlnstone!1
“ You feel sure of that?"
“Positive—without doubt. Ask P ar
slave!”
Crole turned sharply on Parslave.
And Parslave threw up Ills head with
a Jerk.
"What do you say, Parslave? Who
was the woman that passed you?”
“Mistress Elphlnstone. sir—no doubt

Crole turned again to Eecleshars.
"You said It was dark, then, but
clear, stur-llt. Ilow did you recognise
her?"
"Figure, walk, profile," replied Ec
cleshare. “I'd no doubt at the time,
and I've none now. The woman who
passed Parslave and myself Just after

be drawn; the suspicion that might be
thrown upon her—all no good! She
refused to say or tell anything."
“And that makes me think," re
marked Crole, a little eagerly, “that
Mrs. Elphlnstone, after all, may have
a proper and reasonable explanation
to give. I can't think that a woman of
any common sense—and she's a
shrewd, clever, hard woman I— would
be so foolish as to behave tn this
fashion unless she knew she was safe.
You hinted that you’d have to give In
formation to the police, didn't you,
Maythorne?”
“I did!”
“And It produced no effect on her?"
“Not the slightest! Her whole atti
