There were a lot of spectacular failures that grow out of an equally spectacular boom. I was offered a seat on the New York Stock Exchange for $5,000 by a member who believed the economic bottom had dropped out of the world. He believed New York was bankrupt. Our red menace In those dayi wasj the red flag of the auctioneer. H* be- lieved that before long the flags of auctioneers would be floating above the doors of most business houses. He was scared and he had to have money. I do not remember who bought that eat that was offered to me for ID, 000, bat I know that It might have been old a few years ago for $625.000. I have not the slightest doubt that in the future a New York Stock Ex- change seat will bo rated a bargain at 1 million dollars.

Professor Dillard's gaze moved to the chess table wonderingly. "The black bishop," he repeated in a low tone. "Could that havj been what was preying on his mind last night? It seems unbelievable that so trivial .a thing could affect him so disastrously." "Don't forget, sir," Vance reminded him, "that the black bishop was th symbol of his failure. It represented the wreckage of hU hopes. Less po- tent factors have driven men to take their own lives." A few minutes later Burke inform- ed us that the Medical Examiner had arrived. Taking leave of the profes- sor we descended again to the archt-y room, where Doctor Doremus was busy with his examination of Par- dee's body. He looked up as we entered ana waved one hand perfunctorily. His usual jovial manner was gone. "When's this business going to stop?" he grumbled. "I don't like the atmosphere round here. Murders death from shock suicides. Enough to give one the creeps. I'm going to get a nice uneventful job in a >laugh- ter house." "We Ix-lieve," said Markham, "that this is the end." Doremus blinked. "So! That's it, is it? the Bishop suicides after run- ning the town ragged. Sounds reason- able. Hope you're right." He again bent over the body, and, unflexing the fingers, tossed the revolver to the table. "For your armory, Sergeant." Heath dropped the weapon in his pocket. "How long's he been dead, doc?" "Oh, since midnight, or there- abouts. Maybe earlier, maybe later. Any other fool questions?" Heath grinned. "Is there any doubt, about it being suicide?" Dort-mus glared passionately at the Sergeant. "What docs it look like? A black- hand bombing?" Then he became pro- fessional. "The weapon was 'n his hand. Powder marks on the t i iple. Hole the right size for the gun, and in the right place. Position of the body natural. Can't see anything sus- picious. Why? Got any doubts?" It wus Markham who answered. "To the contrary, doctor. Every- thing from our angle of the ca points to suicide." "It's suicide all right, then. I'll check up a little further, though. Here, Sergeant, give me a hand." When Heath had helped to lift Par- dee's body to the divan for a more de- tailed examination, we went to the drawing room where we were joined shortly by Arnesson. What's the verdict?" he asked, dropping into the nearest chair. "I suppose there's no question that th? chap committed the act himself." "Why should you raise the point, Mr. Arnesson?" Vance parried. "No reason. An idle comment- Lots of queer things going on hereabouts." "Oh, obviously." Vance blew a wreath of smoke upward. "No; the Medical Kxaminer seems to think there's no doubt in the matter. Did Pardee, by the by, impress you as bent on self-destruction last night?" Arnesson considered. "Hard to say," he concluded. "He was never a gay soul. Hut suicide? ... I don't know. However, you say there's no question about it; so there you ar^." "Quite, quite. And how does this i new situation fit into your formula?" \ "Dissipates the whole question, of course. No more need for specula- tion." Despite his words, he appeared uncertain. "What A can't umler- <and," he added, "is why he should choose the archery room. Lot of space in his own house for a felo-de-se." "There was n convenient gun in tVe archery room," suggested Vance. "And that reminds me: Sergear. 1 . Heath would like to hnvc Miss Dillard identify the weapon, ns a matter of form " "That's easy. Where is it?" Heath handed it to him, and he started from the room. "Also" --Vnnce halted him "you I might nsk Miss Dillard if she kept j : playing cards in the archery room." Amesson returned in a few niinutvs and informed us that the gun was tl.e one which had been in the tool-chest drawer, and that not only were play- ing cards kept in the table drawer of the archery-room but that Pardeo knew of their presence there. Doctor Doremus appeared soon "That'll be my report," he said. "Can't see any way .ut of it. To be sure, lots of suicides are fakes but that's your province. Nothing in the least suspicious here." Markham nodded with undisguised satisfaction. "We've no reason to question your findings, doctor. In fact, suicide ft** perfectly with what we already know. It brings this whole Bishop orgy to a logical conclusion." He got up like a man from whosi shoulders a gr^at burden had been lifted. "Sergeant, I'll leave you to arrange for the re- moval of the body for the autopsy; but you'd better drop in at the St'iy- vesant Club later. Thank heaven to- day is Sunday! It gives us time to turn round. That night at the club Vance and Markham and I sat alone in the lounge room. Heath had come and gone, and a careful statement had been drawn up for the press announc- ing Pardee's suicide and intimating that the Bishop case was thereby clos- ed. Vance had said little all day.
