Unfortunately, no one was with my father when he died, but we have eome reason to suppose, on medical grounds, that it must have been about three o‘clock." _ "I was with Miss Ripley then, sir," Jordan said promptly. _ ‘"You‘re sure of that?" "Quite sure, sir. I remember hearâ€" ing the stable clock strike when we were in the garage together. We‘d been there some time then." We‘re engaged to bé married," Jorâ€" how you know that.?" dryly. "And was she with you all the "Yes, sir." * "Fromm two o‘clock until half past four ?" 6 "I euppose eo, sir. I couldn‘t give the time to the minute." "And how long has this affair be tween you and Nurse ‘Ripley been going on?" "Ever since she came sir. A case of love at first sight as you may say. We sort of understood each other the time I fetched her from the staâ€" tion." "And you propose to get married? On your salary as a chauffeur?" "I got a ‘bit of money saved up, sir," Jordan said. "I was thinking of starting a garage with a cab or two for hire and so on ‘in London." "You‘d want quite a lot of capital to do that, wouldn‘t you, Jordan?" Bernard asked. "Not so very much, sir," Jordan replied, lowering his eyes for the {irst time. "Besides 1 might get a partner." ‘"Any one in mind?" ‘‘Not at present, sir." Bernard took offâ€" his eyeglasses and looked down at his brother, as if he were asking his junior if he had any other question to put. Percival accepted his cue by givâ€" ing the reprimand Jordan had so long been expecting. "I hope you reaâ€" lize, Jordan," he said," that Nurse Ripley was guilty of gross neglect of duty in leaving my father Alone for more than two hours; and that I shall certainly report her misconâ€" duct to the General Hospital?" ‘"Yes, sir," Jordan kept his gaze on the carpet, but there was now litâ€" tle suggestion of resentment in his manner. "And if Doctor Stopford decides that there ought to be an inquest. she will Tind herself in a very awâ€" gward position," Percival continued harchly. f But to that Jordan made no reply. The brothers glanced at each other, â€" and then Bernard | said: ‘"That‘s all for the present Jordan." ‘‘Well. Did you make anything of that?" Bernard asked when the chaffeur had gone. "I think he was ashamed of himâ€" self," Percival returned. "He came in prepared to bluster, I fancy, and afterward changed his mind." "I agree there," Bernard said. "But why did he change his mind? Was it because, instead of findinf himself bullied at the outset, he found himâ€" self examined as to his movements in the course of the afternoon, his own and those of Nurse Ripley? That is mere supposition, I admit, but he volunteered one suspiciously prompt answer and that rather a queer one. Did you notice it?" "It was when I said that we had some reason to ‘belive that the pater died about three o‘clock. He cut in on that at once by saying that he and his confounded nurse were toâ€" gether then, and had been for some time." "And you infer from that?" "Nothing, except that from my point of view it was a suspicious reâ€" eponse. Why should Jordan want, knowing nothing of what we know, him at that time?" "But Bernard, you‘re not sugges ting that Jordan and this nurse * Aly t** "Can‘t say I did," Percival admitâ€" Wb the nurse was with By J. D.

P Percival had risen to his feet and was now looking keenly at his elder brother. "Changed your mind rather suddenly, haven‘t you?" he asked. enoughâ€"their anxziety for the capt tal to start that London garage and get marriedâ€"and that as the authors of the crime, they are, my dear chap, rather less absurdly unlikely as obâ€" jects of suspicion than any member of the family we left in the drawingâ€" room a quarter of an hour ago." Percival nodded. "Quite true," he said. "And do you propose, now, Berâ€" nard, to tell Stopford what we know and have the police in?" "Yes. I‘m afraid we must make up our minds to it," Bernard said. "Stopâ€" ford‘s late," he added glancing at his watch. ‘‘True. But you realize that it‘s a very serious business to conceal a crime of this sort." "I do. But at the same time, I deâ€" test the thought of the publicity inâ€" volved. However . . ." ‘"By jove. I ‘belive you‘re right," Bernard replied, going on quickly, ‘"And, I don‘t know that, in the first instance . . . whether, perhaps, it wouldn‘t be better . . . this evening, at all events, to keep quiet. , , , Let‘s see first. in any case, what Stopford says.

He was regarded as a certainty for a judgeâ€"| ship one day. ‘‘Motoring, you know," Percival reâ€" minded him. For a fow moments there was siâ€" lence, and then Bernard, continuing his own line of thought: ‘"The chief point is to find out where any one could have got the cyanide from. Not so easy, I take it, to get the stuff. I remember .. ." He ‘broke off abruptly, but his brother did not appear to have heard him. "Unless I‘m much mistaken, that‘s Stopford‘s car hooting for the gates to be opened," he said. plotted together to murder the pa "At: present, no," Berfiard replied. "I suggest only that we have some first slight evidence in that comnec "Yes, yes. I have," he said. "It has just occurred to me that if we are going to ‘bring the author of this crime to justice, we shall have infiâ€" nitely more chance of doing it if we say nothing to any one for twentyâ€" four hours. I have it to go â€"up to town toâ€" ing and aee one of the ch Scerkland Yard, a fellow I know pretty well. There‘s Stopford at the door now. Well, do you agree, Percival?" "Of course. On your authority," Percival replied rather. doubtfully "I suppose if you go to Scotland Yard and aquaint them with the facts our responsibility will be covered?" "Certainly. Come along. I can hear Stopforl‘s voice in the hall." Bernard was fidgeting to get out of the room to get away from his brother‘s calm, professional diaâ€" gnosing stare, to have this businese with the doctor settled as soon as might be in order that he might hear Manette‘s "confession" For what he had so suddenly reâ€" membered was the fact that Percival had, some three months earlier, proâ€" vided him with certain crystals of cyanide of potassium in order to poison a favorite spaniel whose life had become a misery to itself and every one about it; and that after the affair was over he had given the vial to Manette, with instructions to put it comewhere safe. CHAPTER IV Manette His brother‘s suggestion that nothâ€" ing should be said of the manner of their father‘s death to Doctor Stopâ€" ford that evening fitted well enough with Percival Fytton‘s own inclinaâ€" ‘tlon.

The motive was sufficiently strong to give weight to the charge, and all the eviâ€" dence of any value rested on his tes timony and on his alone. It was true that his actions on making the disâ€" ‘covery had apparently been those of an innocent man; but if he had actuâ€" ally committed the murder would he not have been ssowd and farâ€"sight ed enough to havée acted in precisely the same way? The more he considâ€" ered the problem the more he imposâ€" sible did it seem to him to prove his own innocence. All his inclinations at this moment, therefore, tended in the. direction of taking the path of least resistance, and he resolutely countered the suggestion that the suppression of the truth might later adduced in further evidence against him, ‘by the reflection that he had agreed to the advisability of taking the local practitioner into their confidence and had been disâ€" suaded at the last moment by Berâ€" ‘sauthority. Why his brother had so suddenly changed his mind he did .not cleatly understand as yet, but he had great confidence in Berâ€" nard‘s good sense. The act of deceiving Doctor Stopâ€" ford presented no difficulty. Indeed, Percival was hardly called upon for an opinion. His grave direct anâ€" nouncement that he bhad found his father dead, lying in a composed atâ€" titude, was immediately greeted "Ah! his heart gave out all at once, no doubt. It was . what TI‘ve been afraid of all along. 1 warned him onâ€" ly yesterday not to ibe deceived by his recovery into believing himself a sound man again. Did he, by any chance, see any of the family this morning?" "Besides myself, he saw my niece and had a quarter of an hour‘s talk with her at his own request," Perciâ€" val told him.
