Chapter 10 THE CLOAKED WOMAN JIM.MI1S and Richmond followed the maid Into Kvelyn's and Mar Jorle's room. They were there, dressed In simple black (rocks. Their likeness to each other was remarkable, although Marjorle seemed tired and worried. The superintendent's reply to Marjories question concerning the case was noncommittal. "It Is your sister I want to talk to." "Do you mean alone? She Is still rery upset." Uvolyn glanced mxlously at Mar jorle and then moved towarc the door, Jlmnile Haswell slipping out with her. "Leave them together for a mo ment or two," he whispered. "Rich mon Is a bit severe, but not a bad sort." He hesitated "1 wonder It you would let me see Mrs. Frater, the cook?" "Why. of course, but "she check ed a surprised question and showed him the kltche door. He tapped before he opened It. "May I come In? I have called with a message from a friend of yours." A young woman was standing alone In front of ber range. The kitchen was a most attractive place. Its open windows overlooking the gardens. "It was Mrs. Wade who told me about you." began Jlmmle. "She was so sorry you bad been III and bopes you are all right again, Mrs. Frater flushed wltb pleasure and Jlmmle continued, "You weren't really as bad as the doctor thought, were you?" She looked at him a bit oddly. "I'Vaps I wor; p'r'aps I worn't.' "Miss Querdllng wished you to stay In bed and the doctor told you to, but you didn't want to," contln ured Jlmmle. "How long woa It after the doctor left that you got up and went out?" Her blush told him his surmise was correct. "1 went out d'rectly t'doctor left me," she said. But when he asked why, she told him crisply and dellantly that It was ber own business. "Or Is It Alt Collett's business?" Jlmmle ventured smilingly, and when another flush conflrmed bis suggestion, be explained, "Mrs. Crater, you know that about the time you slipped out of the house your mistress was killed. You know we have been trying to discover who wa. In the garden at the time. Don't you think It would have been wiser If you had told us you were there?" , "1 worn't asked." "But If It Is discovered after wards, what will people think? Would It not be better for you to tell me lust what you did better (or Alt as well as (or yourself?' "Keep Alt out o'lt.

She had an ap pointment to meet Alt, ber sweet heart, al a gap In the lane (ence. and tilled It when the doctor left. They bad not been together long and after the meeting she bad gone back to bed. Soon Janet came up and told ber about the tragedy. AT. she was sure, bad gone home, walking, elnre he had no car. "I see," .llmmlo said, "Now, Mrs, Frater, will you go now and put on the cloak you wore that night and walk out of the house just as you did then? Follow the same path and come back."

"When 1 asked you If the doctor and Miss Querdllng talked or any thing beside the cook's Illness." lie snld harshly, "you replied. 'Noth ug else.' You knew perfectly well he had said that when you mar ried you would get nothing. Why didn't you tell me?" The girl muttered that her aunt frequently had made bucIi remarks: he hart forgotten they were re peated Just then. "Forgotten! What led to It?" "Nothing." "Had she ever before said It In Dr. Netherton's or any other young man's presence?" No." The girl was answering n angry, half-frightened syllables. "Yet you want me to believe that you forgot it, and you Insist that when you and the doctor were to gether afterwards you were lust talking over old times? Did he phone through and tell you so?" Then Jlmmle Interrupted "If you will come quickly you will see Ihe unknown woman Duckworth no ticed that night." Stepping to his side, Richmond pressed bis moist nose nKulnst the window pane and left bis mark upon it. But be saw clearly and distinctly a cloaked figure that crossed a path at the further corner ot the house and disappeared Into the shrubbery In a direction away from the Dutch garden. "Who Is she?" Jlmmle explained, adding that he believed Mrs. Frater's story, which seemed to account for her actions on the night ot the tragedy. 1 will see Alt Collett." said Rich mond, "before he Is put wise. The cook Is not likely to telephone." Richmond was chagrined at this point to learn that Evolyn and Mar jorle bad joiie out without his per mission. When he and Jlmmle reached the road they were met by Constable Roscoe, looking very hot It's nil right, sir," he said, Jump ing ttwiu bis bicycle. "Everything cleared up." "What do you mean? Richmond demanded. Joe Allen did It, And he has dis appeared!" Richmond's aurprlse could not conceal a natural disappointment that what seemed a profound mys tery Bhould have been revealed so simple. The puffing Roscoe explained that at V p.m. Thursday Joe Allen had set out on his motorcycle from the home of bla aunt, Mrs. Kneeble, saying ha was going to London to ge; a Job. He stopped at the Brown Bear tavern to bid bla pals good-bye and Koscoe bad a sworn statemen: from Richard Grey, Bert Griffin and Able Dale that Joe had vowed he would "pay off" Miss Querdllng for his dismissal. It was Roscoe'a belief that Allen, after leaving the tavern, had hidden In the Querdllng gardens and await ed the right time tor his revenge. Seeming to confirm this, Roscoe said that Allen had not reached his destination In London, the home of his aunt's slater, by Friday morn ing. A card from her to Mrs. Kneeble, post-marked rtday night, so advised. "If Hoscoe's talc la right," said Jlmmle after he and Richmond had congratulated the constable, "It would end the affair. However, one mustn't rely too much on a boy's bragging. And It la odd that Allen should have started ao late on a 200-mlle trip unless he planned to stop on the way." Like wildfire It spread through the village that Allen was wanted tor the murder. So far as the vil lagers were concerned, ha was al roady tried and sentenced. They reasoned simply that Mrs. Querd llng bad dismissed him unjustly. He had threatened revenge and bad dis appeared at about the time of the murder.
