"lie would prolmhly bo accused of | the crime'. So, although when the j wreck occurred I stippoaed everyone connected with the affair had been killed, there was a chanco that you i had Httrvlved. I've not been of much account, but I didn't want a man to Rwlng becauae I left hltn In my place. Besides, I began to have a theory of | my own. "As we entered the car a tall, dnrk woman passed us, with a glass of wa | ter In her hand, nnd I vaguely remem bered her. She was amazingly like Blanche Conway. "If she, too, thought the mnn with the notes waa In lower ten; It ex- I plained a lot, Including thnt piece of , I a woman's necklnce. .She was a fury, i Blanche Conway, capable ■of nny- I thing " I "Then why did yon countermand ' j that moHsnge?" I asked curiously. "When I got to the Carter house, I | and got to bed—l had sprained my ankle In the Jump—l went through the alligator bag I had taken from lower nine. When I found your name, I sent the flrsL-mesaage. Then, Boon nfter, I came' across the notes. It seemed too good to be true, and I waa crazy for fear the mesango had gone. "At first. 1 wna going to send them to Bronson; then I began to see what I the possession of the notes meant to I me. It meant power over llronson, money. Influence, everything. Ho was j a devil, that man." "Well, he'i»» at home now," said Mo- I Knight, and we were glad to laugh j and relieve the tension. Alison put her hand over her eyes, j as if to shut out the sight of the man she had so nearly married, and I fjir tlvoly touched one of the soft little culls that nestled at the back of her I neck. "When I was able to walk," went on | the sullen voice, "I came at once to Washington. I tried to sell the notes i | to Bronson, hut he waa almost at tho 1 j end rope. Not even my threat , | to send them back to you, Mr. Blake ley. could make him meet my figure. ' j He didn't have the money." McKntght was triumphant. "I think you gentlemen will- see rea i son In my theory now," he said "Mrs. , Conway wanted the notes to force a • legal marriage, 1 suppose?" ' "Yea." , The detective with the small pack age carefully rolled off the rubber ! band, and unwrapped It. 1 held my | breath as he took out, first, the Russia I leather wallet. * ' "These things, Mr. Blakeley, we found In the sealskin bag Mr. Sullivan ! | says he left you. This wallet, Mr. Sul livan—ls this the one you found on the j floor of tho car?" • ! Sullivan opened It, and, glancing at . j the name Inside, "Simon Harrington," ®! nodded affirmatively. I "And this," went on the detective— | "this Is a piece of gold chain?" "It seems to be," said Sullivan, re coiling at the blood-stained end. k I "This, I believe, la the dagger." He I held it up, and Alison gave a faint cry of astonishment and dismay. Sul j livan's face grew ghastly, and he sat J down weakly on the nearest chair. The detective looked at him shrewd- Ily, then at Alison's agitated face. "Where have you seen this dagger before, young lady?" he asked, kindly enough. V "Oh, don't ask m«!" she gasped, breathlessly, her eyes turned on Sul ibran. "It's —It'a too terrible!" "Tell him," I advised, leaning over 3 to her. "It will be found out later, anyhow." S "Ask him," she said, nodding toward Sullivan. e The detective unwrapped the amall box Alison had brought, disclosing the V trampled neoklace and broken chain. With clumsy fingers he spread it on T, the Üble and fitted into place the hit of chain. There could be no doubt Oft It belonged there. m"y " v "Where did you find that chain?" Sullivan asked, hoarsely, looking for the first time at Alison. "On the floor, near the murdered man's berth." "Now, Mr. Sullivan, 1 " said the detec tive, civilly, "I believe you can tell us, in the light of these two exhibits, who really did murder Simon Harrington." Sullivan looked again at the dagger, a sharp little bit of steel with a Flor entine handle. Then he picked up the locket and pressed a hidden spring under one of the cameo*. Inside, very neatly engraved, was the name and a date. "Gentlemen," he said, his face ghast ly, "It Is of no use for me to attempt a denial. Tli« dagger and necklace be longed to my sister, Alice Curtis!" CHAPTER XXXI. And Only One Arm. Hotchkis* was the first to break the tension. '• "Mr. Sullivan," he asked suddenly, "was your sister left-handed?" "Yes." Hotchkias put away his notebook and looked around with an air of tri umphant vindication. It gave us a chance to smile and look relieved, i "^1 "I Understand Now What Puizled Me Th«n." J After all, Mm. Curtis was dead. It was the happiest solution of the un happy affair. McKnlght brought Sul livan some whisky aud he braced up a little. "I learned through the papers that my wife wns In a Baltimore hospital and yesterday I ventured there to see | her. I felt If she would help me to keep straight, that now, with her fa ther and my sister both dead, we might be happy together. , "I understand now what puzzled mo then. It seemed that my sister went I Into the next car and tried to make I my wife promise not to Interfere. But [ Ida—Mrs. Sullivan—was firm, of course. She said her father had pa pers. certificates and so on, that | would stop the marriage at once % "She said, also, that her father was In our car, and that there would be the mischief to pay In the morning. It was probably when my sister tried to get the papers that he awakened and she had to do what she did." It was over. Save for a technicality or two, I was a free man. Alison rose quietly and prepared to go; the men stood to let her paas, save Sulli van, who sat crouched in his chair, | his face buried in his hands. McKnlght saw her, with Mrs. Dal . las, to their carriage and came back . again. The gathering in the office was breaking up: Johnson had slipped . away as unostentatiously as he came. Sullivan, looking worn and old, was . standing by the window, staring at r the broken necklace In his baud. When he aaw me watching: him. he put It back on the desk and picked ! up his hat. "If I cannot do anything more—" r he healtated. "I think you have done about enough." I replied, grimly, and he 1 went out. I believe that Richey and Hotchklss 1 led me somewhere to dinner and that. » for fear I would be lonely without • him. they aent for Johnaon. And I > recall a spirited discussion In which 1 Hotchklsa told the detective that he t could manage certain caaea, but that he lacked Induction. Richey and 1 ■ ' \,n' J. ' were mainly silent. My ~ luuugau - would slip ahead to that hour, lUer (n the evening, when I should MO Alison •gain. I dressed in savage haste finally and was so particular about my tie that Mrs. Klopton gave up in despair. •*I wish, until your arm is better, that you would buy tte kind thai books on," she protested, almost tear* fully. "I'm sure they look very nice, Mr. Lawreice. My lata husband • al ways—" "That's a lover's knot you're tied this time.' I snarled, and, Jerking open the bow knot she had so painfully ax ecuted, looked out of the window fof Johnson—until I recalled that he ao longer belonged In my perspective. I ended by driving frantically to the club and getting Qeorgt to do it. I was late, of course. The drawing room and library at the Dallas cou» try home was very empty. I could heal billiard balls rolling somewhere and I turned the other way. I found All son at last on the balcony, sitting much as she had that night on the beach—her chin In her hands, het eyes fixed unseelngly on the trees and lights of the square across. She was even whistling a little, Boftly. Bui this time the plaintiveness was gone. It was a tender little tune. She did npt move, as I stood beside her, look ing down. And now, when the mo ment had come, all the thousand and one things I bad been valtlng to say forsook me, precipitately beat a re treat and left me unsupported. The arc-moon sent little fugitive lights over her lialr, her eyes, her gown. "Don't —do that," I said unsteadily. "You—you know what 1 want to do when you whistle!" Bhe Klanced up at me and she did not, stop. She did not stop! She went on whistling eoftly, a bit tremu lously And straightway I forgot the atrei-t, the chance of passers-by, the voices In the house behind ua. "The world doesn't hold anyone but you," I said, reverently. "It is our worlrl, sweetheart. I love you." And I kissed her. A boy was whistling on the pave inent below. I let her go reluctantly ivnd sat back where I could see h«if. "I haven't done this the way I f.n« tended to at all." I confessed. 'ln books they get things all settled and then kiss the lady." "Settled?" she inquired. "Oh, about getting married an# that sort of thing," I explained with elaborate carelessness. "We—could ,go down to Bermuda—or—or JamaJ ! ca, say in December." Bhe drew her hand away and faced me squarely. "I believe you are afraid!" she de clared. "I refuse to marry you unless you propose properly. Everybody does It. And It Is a woman's prlvi* lege: she wanta to have that to look back to." "Very well," I consented with an exaggerated sigh. "If you will prom* lse not to think I look like an Idiot, I shall do It, knee and all." I had to pass her to close the door behind us, but when I kissed her again ahe protested that we were not really engaged. 1 tnrned to look down at her. "it Is a terrible thing," I said, exultantly, "to love a girl the way I love you and to have only one arm!" Then I closed the door. From across the street there came a sharp crescendo whistle and a vaguely familiar figure separated It self from the park railing. "Say," he called.
