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. He never wcnl
noar her. No more did 1."
She told ber story In a Straight
forward manner. 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."
"But, sir "

Relieve what you have told me.
Mrs. Frater. If you do a? I sek.
I will Help to prove lh.il it is true
"Vary good, sir."
Jlmmle then returned to the room
where the superlntviuloiit, warm
d aDgry, was turning the leaves
of the notebook, while Marlorles
pallor showed her distress.
"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. Look at It how you would,
was there a doubt about It?
