Alexander responded defensively, "llesldes, who telephoned to me. nnd why?" "Tllllt Wl lllimt nuKortnln Inlor " Tlin Inspector Hhrusged. "I,)o you rccognls the pistol. Jlr. Alexander? Have you ever ecn ll In Mr. Crcvellng'H posses sion?" "I have not. nil-." The banker shook his head decisively. "It mny have been hi.M. of rouise. A man wdiosc home wan filled with vnluablc nbJootH of art and wlicsp wife's jewels constituted a huge fortune in themselves would bo naturally supposed to guard against burglary, but he could have bad no per sonal reason for such nn nrtlcle of self protection." The sound of nnnther mntorcnr out side nnd the ringing of the front door bell put n stop for the time being to nny further iiies(onlng b. the inspec tor, nnd US OHO of the nuuintnntti nf the chief medical examiner was ushered in the dead man's partner turned to Mcfarty. .

They'll call If you re needed." II0 drew the banker put to the hn mid Into the break fast room, where ho tiwitolicd on the light once more and pulled forward a chair suggestively with its hack to the disordered supper table. "Sit here. Mr Alexander, and rest yourself. I'm not connected with tho police force. If flint's wlmt jou mean: I just happened bv. and I 111 n friend of the Inspector. Tt must have been a terrible shock to vou. as you say, to find the bouse deserted and Mr. Crowding killed like this!" "The abrupt summons over tl.o te'e phnne wns startling enough, but to lose my partner in this hideous, tragic way!" Tho banker sank Into the chair nnd pressed his delicate blue. veined hands over his eyes for n moment. "I think, slr, jou said thnt Mra, Croveling was your niece?" McCarty asked slyly. Mr. Alexnndor'R hands dropped and he gazed at the other in a dazed fash-ion. cs She was my Into brother's only clil d nnd my ward until her mar ringe to Hugeno eight years ngo. It will he n most most distressing home coming for her. Bv .love, we must wire her nt once! I had forgotten " "Mrs. Croveling is away?" .Me Catty's ingenuous blue eyes opened still wider, --.lint is why. then, that the house wus nlj deserted." lie added the ln-i as If to hlmse'f, but the dazed look faded partially from Mr. Alexander's eyes nnd 11 shade ns nf caution crept into them. "Mrs. Cruveling hns been paying n round of visits on Long Islnnd for the Inst few weeks nnd Mr. ( 'reveling bus been living much nt the club, since his presence was required almost 1'nnstantlv in town on this banking matter we were arranging to negotiate." Ills ex planation came with nervous haste. "I believe two or time of the servants were left here temporarily as care takers, though ; I cannot imagiue where they may have gone. However, Mrs. Croveling must be sent for nt once ! May 1 ask that you arrange with tho inspector to have o.. of those men in there djspntcli u wire Immediately to her in rare of Mrs. Douglas Wnver'y, Ilronilmend, Long Island?" "And what shall he soy in the tele gram, sir?" nsked MeC'uity us he pte pnroil to comply. "You don't want to tell her In cold blood thnt her husband has been shot, do you?" "Heavens, no!" The little man re colled. 'Must explain that a serious accident hns occurred and her imme diate return is iiiiperntholy necessary. I I iiiiiimt think! I confess that I find it almost impossible to pull myself together! This horrible thing " "I understand, sir." McCnrty's tone wns full of lospectful sympathy, but lie paused with his hand on t lie door knob. "I wonder, now, jou knowing Mr. ('reveling so well, if you'd remember whether or not lie smoked )iis cigarette with nn amhiv mouthpiece?" " 'An limber mouthpioic'?" the othei repented in unguarded surprise at the pettv, irrelevant question. "No. lie never used a holder of nny sort. Ilut the telegram -" "I'll see that it goes ut once, Mr. A'o.nndcr." McCarty rinsed the door behind him. and when he entcieil the room where the medical examiner's nssibtant was coneluding his grim busi ness the ex -roundsman's fnce did not betray by the flicker of an eyelash that he had stumbled on 11 due, .illicit n slender one. The inspector drew him nside nt once. '('reveling has been dead nt Iea.st four hours," he 11.1110, 1111 ed "The dm seems to think he shot him self, althnu,ll he wants 1111 autopsy for foi m's sake, und it's just as well. We'll let it go at that for 11 day 01 two n.ivwiiv, till we've something to spiing on the old man. Where's Alex ander?" "In the next loom He wants 11 toleginn. sent at nine to Mis. ('reveling. It seems that she's visiting n Mrn. Douglns Wuverly nt Mrondmend, Long Island " McCatty rapidly detailed the sub stance of his brief tall, with Alexander and of the message to be sent and one of the detectives wns dUpntched to the marest telegraph nlliie. The medical examiner's iisstunt also took his de parture aftir 111 ranging for the removal of the body for 11 fouiiul nutopsv and the inspector and McCnity ictunicd to the lueukfiiNl room. "Mr. Alexander." Inspector Druet recommenced his intoriogution without nnv pie.imble. "Mv friend hoie suys thnt jou told him Mrs. ('leveling bad been visiting "ii Long Island for sev eral weeks and her husband living at the club Was be in the hnbit of ie turning heie to his home to give mid night Mippers when it was virtunllv closed and the staff of servants nwnv?" George Alexander, whom they had found standing bj the table fiowninglj contemplating the debris of the supper, turned and fined them ut the unc tion nnd Its implication. "I know little of mv Jote partner's hnblts," he leplied stlfln. "In our hanking business we deal with many foreign powers among the lepiesonta tiveg of which we each have our own es pecial clients, and not until nil the pre liminary negotiations have been con cluded do we have n general conference.
