' j Annersley's alibi looked sound, V but bis motive was powerful and Jabrtes might bave lied.. ff I remembered the newspaper '' clutched In his band as be burst in to the library while 1 was with Parados. The way he had held It as if something were concealed was what bothered me. 1 began to walk the floor.., Annersloy bad backed out through ,.. the patio window between. 6:25 and 6:30. II Annersley's newspaper bad concealed a pistol - -? ; Somehow I figured that paper tnlffht still, be around perhaps Aa nersley bad left It In the patio or on the terrace. 1 wanted that news paper. 1 was too excited to sleep, so I left the room by the window and. outside stair. t , found no trace ot Annersley's Time on the torrace. It was dark as. pitch, but 1 was able to piako out another outside stair to my left. It ascended one side ot a wing to a root above the sun roof, t Aa 1 stepped Into tbe patio, some thing rustled under my feet. I bent down. It was a newspaper a copy ba Times. My hands trembled VJa 1 struck a match. 1 saw nothing ' it first, then two small stains the alia of a dime were on the center of the-sheet Oil stains!- - ' "It may . not have, come from a pistol, 'M reflected., "but It's flome- Insurance First Insurance 9gency A.

Fllque, Samuels and Kirk looked up from a litter of papers on the writing table. "Hello," tbe deputy exclaimed. "1 said good night to you once." "Come, monsieur," Fllque inter poSed. "We must work together. M. l'Antlqualre has something to say. Is It not so (" Samuels waited for me to go on. . "it's about Aunorsley," 1 began. "Trying to get btm in., wrong again?" "Monseur!" Clique said sharply. Clearly the man was on edge. His manner became attentive as I told my story. "It certainly comes back to An nersley," he muttered, as I dis played the oil stains, "but- there's, still that alibi Miss Jahrles save him." "Come, let us consider evidence against the suspoat," Kllque said. "Two motives money and .the girl and what Hunt has. Just told us' "Aud that rose petal?"' '. 'r- "It doesn't mean anything In face ot the rose you found In the waste paper basket." -j "Ah, that rose! We shall speak of. that again," Fllque ichuckled.. "Let us consider the. clews- Thai petal, now." . : . ... "You. shot holes In that." "The rose 1 found In tbe basket, then?" ... , i -. -., . .. "Who put It mere??.. Samuels muttered. , Fllque twirled hlr-nrtistlache,' "What would you say If 1 Informed you that my roso was not In that basket ten minutes beforo 1 found it there?" : ,.., . .We looked at ulra in astonish ment. - , ;.jti- .:..." ; :"Who put It thareY'V--. - - "Look upon the rose." Fllque picked up the second rose. "It has two thorns on Its stem. , Upon one ot the thorns Is a small moisture a redness." He held the. lens, over the stem ot tho rose and Samuels, Kirk and 1 glanced through It In turn. r. "Blood!" the deputy, exclaimed. "1 don't know how 1 mlssedthat." "Also this," Fllque beamed' tri umphantly, and he waved his enor mous handkerchief in our faces. Four small red stains spoiled the whiteness ot tbe handkerchief. "Whose blood IB tbis?" Samuels demanded curtly. , .. : . Fllque laid the handkerchief and rose on the table. ,. ; . t "This Is what I ' know. When madame opened the sate and the petal was revealed, the rose, was not in the basket, It was then thai Grainger left the room.. A moment, and be bad returned. . 1 did not see him come In, when on his bauds I saw blood. I dropped the handker chief and Grainger picked-. It up You see? Then 1 saw the rose In the basket and blood was on Its thorn. 1 was astonished!" , This Information staggered: us. Grainger's hatred ot puratlo . bad been stressed less than anyone's else. "Let me get this straight," Snm uels muttered. "Wo find the petal It involves Anuersley. Then you find the second rose that lets btm out Now you tell me Ihat .Urafngei dropped the rose Ipto the.
