hear ths stain. What had ho worn
that «bowed so whits to you In ths
starlight? Could it havo bssn that hs
wors no clothss at all?
"A utksd man! Ths suggestion
was fun of p ossibility.
“ It was fortunate that I had brought
assistants to help ms in Steen's c «p
turs. Their preeence gavo ms a wid­
er soope, for they were both good
men. I left them to search the pavll
ion and laurels for ths clothing,
which ths murderer might have con,
csalsd when hs realised how fatal
was its svldsncs. As I walked bach
to ths bouse I began to understand
the situation more clearly/ Ths main
drive, curving down ths slops of ths
park, was in view of a tall man com­
ing up by ths yew walk. Ths mur­
derer might have noticed our ap­
proach. What more natural than that
he should have bent double as he ran,
thus obtaining the cover of the left,
hand hedge, which was not more than
four to five feet high? Did not thi«
answer to your description of th«
thing you had seen? It would hav«
been cold work for him. I made a
note to bs on tbe look-out for chills.
“ For a couple of hours I devoted
myself to speeding those guests wha
caught tho eleven-thirty train. I do
not think a trunk left for ths station
of which I have not a complete in­
ventory.
Indeed, the baron’s cred­
itors have to thank me for ths return
of several trifles of value, which wers
included, accidentally, no doubt, la
the ladles' dressing-bags.
“ After the carriages had started 1
went in search of Terry, and dlsonw
ered that he had not left his room.
Equally to the point, his window«
looked down upon the spot where th«
baron mads bis detour over the gras«
while escaping. I became Interested

from an obliging gardener allowed m«
to observe him from the window. A
visit to the housekeeper gave ms •
duplicate key to his door. What bap
pened In ths room you know, Mr.
Phillips."
“ But, the motive— why did hs kill
bis patron?” I asked him eagerly.
“ I doubt if we shall ever ¡earn th«
trutb on that point," be said. “ Al
far as I can make out, Stesn was di­
rectly responsible for ths ruin and
disgrace of Terry’s father. Probably
the son did not fully realize this when
the baron, with a pity most unusual
in the man, give him the secretary­
ship. But of all participation in ths
flight he was certainly innocent, foi
he was in bed at the time.”
“ In bed!” I cried.
“ Don’t Interrupt, If you please
What heppened I take to be as fol­
lows: Terry was in bed when the old
man tried to creep past his window.
Somehow be heard him, and, looking
out, understood what was up. P er
haps that rascal Henderson had told
him the truth about bis father; per­
haps Steen bad promised him com­
pensation— he had a mother and s i»
ter dependent on him— which prom­
ise the financier meant to avoid,
along with many more serious obllga,
tions, by running away. At any rate,
passion, revenge, the sense of tnjus
tlce— call It what you like— took hold
of the lad. He caught up the first
handy weapon; it chanced to be a
dagger paper-knife— dangerous things,
I hate them— and rushed down a back
staircase and through the elds doot
!n pursuit of his enemy.
"When that had happened, which
happened, the fear that comes to all
amateurs In crime took him by ths
throat. He wiped his bands In ths
snow; he tore off his sleeping suit—
that Is how I know hs had been I d
bed— and thrust It. with its terrible
evidences of murder, into the thatch
of the little pavilion. W e found It
there a day later. Then he started
back to the house as naked as a baby,

me, Mr. Phillips, whether he had held
the murder righteous or no, it wa*
only the rope he saw dangling before
him. Might not the alarm be given at
any moment? He dared not wasb
himself, and the stains had dried
upon him. He hurried on his clothes,
shivering in the chill that had struck
home, and so to the safest place h«
could find— the roulette-table."
“It is well that he died," I said sim­
ply.
"It saved the law some trouble,"
remarked the Inspector, with a grim
little nod at the wall.
