"I‘ll see that the little wife and boy get over to see you toâ€"day. She‘s doing well these days, is the wife, The only evidence of value to me that the coroner had taken from the scene of the tragedy was the revolâ€" ver from which the shot was fired.

It was fully ten minutes before we had her restored sufficiently to question. Even then 1 was loath to agizate her. But Mre.

She glanced about her nervously, as if afraid of an avenging fury even as she apoke. , "After the coromer came, when I thought ‘ow the back door closed in our faces, and Joeie on the porch."

"When did you first think that he might have done it?" â€" ‘"Was Mr. La Cour here when you went to the garden â€" yesterday morning ?" "I thought of nothin, sir, but that Jamie wur dead."

Within another hour I had learned that Mr. La Cour had left Winton by the evening train the day before. He had appeared on the station platâ€" form, as usual, just as the train was coming in, and Hutton had noticed nothing unusual in bis appearance. While I was puzzled as to where he had hidden himself between the time of the tragedy and the evening hour when Mr. McClure‘s agitation became evident, my calmer reason of the morning strengthened my conâ€" viction that it was the man known to the Arms family as La Cour who had been the cause of Mr. McClure‘s distress and of his driveyafter nightâ€" fall in the covered buggy.

I followed the man to the abanâ€" doned hothouse into which I stepped for the first time, and there found an explanation for the only feature of the case that I had so far encounâ€" tered (except Mr. McClure‘s connecâ€" tion with {t), which remained open to speculation: how Philander Sumâ€" merfield had eluded us.
