The dagger In Andrew's neck be
longed to Jerry. He had brought
It up from South America with
him. Its place waa among other
trophies of his in a glass-topped
table cabinet which stood behind
the desk and against the north wall
near the windows. So far as I could
eoe there were no flngorprlnts on
the glass. - , -
I wont back to Andrew,
."Tell your boss ol'
Ing my chock on the desk I could
sec. into his face without lifting his
hoed. I had known Andrew as a
man endowed with a flno collection
of 'the "clvlo vlrtuos." I mean that
ho was conscientious and omlnontly
respectable, restrained and Judicial
and successful, a pillar of the
church and a member of tho cham
ber .oC.cojnmerco. , . ',
But from tlmo to time I had felt
that this conventional being wasn't
the real Andrew Ogdon; that bo
hlpd lt llvod and longed. an nuda
clous personality ho had novor ro
vealod to mo but which, somehow,
I.thad sensed and loved.
Hubbard camo In just then.
- "I didn't soe Stlmson around,
sir." -. , ' ' ' '
, "Nevor mind. Ho'll lurn up." I
, thought for a moment. "Has Mr.
Ogdon had uny visitors latoly, Hub
bard? Strangers, I mean." .
"Why, yes, sir, he has. A man
Mid a woman. And a queer-looking
pair thoy wore. I was going
to speak to you about thorn."
"Queer looking!" I exclaimed.
"Who woro they? Whon. did thoy
come?" '
"I don't know the woman's name,
sir. . Sho was horo three or four
days ago. She didn't oomo to tho
door. The mastor was in tho
grpunds and lie met her coming up
the drive. . They tulkoil for a mln
uto'or t'o..',thcn ho brought her
In hero. She must have stayed an
hour. ".She Was ana of thoso tall,
angular, bldorly females that soem
to bo all alnow and bono and light
shut :moulh." ' .. ' ,
"How was sho drossod ?" .
V,That wns tho queer Part hor.
She had 'on a, blank hnt. a-long
black.' ooat, arid a long, black dress.
I couldn't help noticing the get-up
ot her, sir. 1 Not a bit of color to
her, sir. I'.von her eyes were black.
Iilack aa coal."
"Sho sounds llko a crank ot some
sort, Hubbard. What about the
othor person?" .
"Well, sir, ho wna Just as queer,
In his way, He camo this after
noon. Tho look of him gavo mo a
turn when I oponed tho door. 1 al
most shut tho door In his face. Ho
was a littlo crab-applo of a chap, In
overalls and a torn coat, and all
stooped and puckered. Klghty, If
ho was a day, a shock of hair as
white as a clean napkin all over
his head and neck, a stubble ot
i'hlsker, a leathery skin llko an
old brown shoe. China-bluo cyoR
11 rod around the rims, and an
clght-sldod glass stuck in his eye
r that's him, sir."
"An eight-sided glass!" I echoed.
"you moan a lens of somo sort?'
r."Yos. air. Ann it was on one
end of a wire. Tho other end ot
.tho wlro was fastoned to his shirt
with a snfoty pin. , 1
."'I'm loo-kln for Andry Ogdon,'
ha shouted In a cackling, voice,
' . "I foil -sure tho master wouldn't
want such a looking fellow In his
house, so t said Mr. Ogden was out
and i started to shut the door.
"'No, ho ain't, tho old man
shrilled at me. And before I could
prevent him ho hopped Into the.
hall, shook his fist in my lace, ana
screamed: -,
" Toll your boss ol' Kurle Is
here!" '
! "Luckily, Mr. Ogdon looked Into
the hall Just then and asked him
What he wanted.
.." "A word with yo In private,' the
old man cackled.
."And do you know, lr, after
thlnktntr-a, - momont. Mr. Ogden
brought him In hero. and shut the
dpor! I was stunned. Mr. Ogden
has always ben so bartlrnlar about
ausploious-looking characters."

"And you novor saw') this man
before, Hubbard?" . . , '
"Never, sir." 1 ', y
"What time did, he go?" 7
"About six, I bolkive. Mr.'aOgdon

"When Mr. Ogden called, me Bp,
sir. At six." ' - "' '
" "Hovr was he' dressed?" rwenv
on,-In the same tone. 1
"In IiIb flannels, sir.'!
I shut my eyes for an Instant.!
"Hubbard," I resumed quietly,
"did you chance to overhear uny
of the conversation between Furie
and Mr. Ogdon?"
Hubbard flushed. "Well, sir, I
did, but It was quite unintentional
on my part. I was passing along
the hall and I heard Mr. Ogden
utter two words In angry tones. Ho
shouted them and thoy quite star
tled mo. I heard nothing elso, sir."
I'urlo,ls here."
, " '"What, wore those words, Hub
baril?"' '' . '
""Gold bullets,' sir." '
' I started so violently, that . Hub
bnrcr looked at me In surprise. It
took mo a moment' to' rcassomblo
my scattered wits.. Could it bo pos
sible that tho Peterson revolver was
in somo way connected with Eurlo's
Interview with Ogdon?
What n strango concurrence of
events! First, Hyde's refusal to toll
mo anything about tho rovolver:
then, Andrew's telephone call, Jor
ry's whlto-flnnnolod figure flying
down tho diivo, Androw stabbed to
death at tho tclcphono; and finally,
this thing. Hubbard, had told mo.
Woro these events links of a chain
that ran back Into tho' limbo of
Ogden's past? And Jorry? For aj
momont my faith In him was
shnkbn. ,
Dreadful as my announcement to
Lucy must bo, would tho truth com.
pol mo-to make It inconceivably
moro so? My agony of heart bor
came -unendurable. :
A heavy pounding sounded at the
front door. Hubbard hurried Into
tlio hall. Ho renpparod with Henry
Deacon, Dr. Oak toy, - a local sur
geon, and Thompson, a sergeant of
dotoctives. .

Therefore the Jackson ' county

much study, is Inclined to think
that It fright be a good idea to In
