(Continued from last week) They could bear the clock ticking ID the hull. Then It struck two. \All right,\ l'eggy snUl, at last. \I'm eoliiK to play It your way. Where do we go from here?\ \I think you'd better go to bed,\ the Duke answered. \Here?\ \Why not?\ grinned the Duke. \Ynu've got a whole lot more right l.i-re (Man I have. There's a guest- ri»'in (hut Wllletta always keeps reaily.\ The girl hesitated. \What time gan I get back to New York?\ she asked. \There's a good train around nine o'rlock.\ •All right.\ Barry opened a door the other sMe of the library, and switched \n (he tights. \There yon are,\ be Mill. \All right.\ \it Just struck me,\ he remarked. \Yon don't suppose your husband might have given his real name?\ 'No. Rut that's one reason I want t\ get back. You better come with 'in', loo. 1 think you're on the level. Mm I'm not so sure Jack's going to ilink so.\ \\. K..\ Barry assented. \Break- fKt nt eight. Good night, Mrs. Rog- er*.\ \(M'o.1 night, Mr. Rldder.\ She smiled, a wan ghost of a smile. Standing before tho dying Are, I'.nrry exclaimed: \What a damned f»»l I am!\ and stuffed the letter inin his pocket. The newspaper i iy Mefore him, and, with It, he nme hack to the hearth. \Let's see \imt it's all about.\ he said. The story filled the first page. '• and overflowed onto the second and ' ihird. Judge Hambidge's eagerly-' awaited decision was crowded Into | on upper corner of the fourth page, : with a two-column picture of the' Judge. There was no editorial com- ment Evidently,.there hadn't been ' time for that yet \For some un- explained reason,\ the paper aald, \(he murder was not reported to the police ontll nearly noon.\ The body had been fonnd by the Fill-1 pi no servant shortly after eight that | morning. Mike Kelly's skull had; Meen fractured by a Single blow | with a heavy cut-glaa* whiskey de- i canter that lay close by, Its con- > tenu still undisturbed. There was : no sign of a struggle. The Filipino boy's yarn was straight enough. Kelly bad come home Just before eleven o'clock. Be wag a little drunk, the boy admlt- '\1. He hod let himself In with hla latch key, and gona straight to the dining room, where he rang vlo- lp n«lj. The boy bad responded, and got otit the liquor and the clauses. Then a young man bad <alled. His name was Rogers, the ' Kl » remembered, and he said he had known Kelly in Palm Beach. Kelly had said, \All right; show >'im into the drawing room.\ and 'he Moy had done so, and brought '•\ 'he tray. Then he had gone Mack downstairs to the servants' quarters. A little while later, he bad heard angry voices In the drawing room, and had listened outside, in the Mall. What he had beard was pret- ty much what the gtrt bad repeated. Mot there were a few additions. In the way of threats from the YISJ- \>r. The Filipino decided that It was none of hia btnlnesa, and re- timed to bis room. Ten minutes latar, anxious In spite of himself; fc«-JSffiojinjfeatU&^ Aj Isje reached \the top, bjISeapi tSw: drawto* rofltn dbor doled aotttlj,' and «f w the culler hurry tnb> a» hill and ttwoogh Urn front doer, whlcti he banged after him. It was, then nearly midnight. The FSil- plno had been on duty itace leven' that morning, and, reassured, as- tiptoed down the stain, and went; to bed. That was all he knew tan- til, eight hours later, he came open Mike Kelly's body lying face-down on the floor. The Duke was just about to go to bed himself, when he noticed a small headline. \Artist's Wife Crushed by Taxi\ That would ba the accident that upset Judge Ham- bldge. \I might talk to Wl&ilow it the Hajnblaget,\ ha thought, sleeptly. \But I guess Peggy's right. Better see Jack first. I've got a date with Wlnslow i t bis office on Monday.\ The hill clock atruck three. NeYertheleas, the Duke mi np an boar before breakfast. He abived, and bathed, and toned a few things Into an over- night bag he'd teen in the closet Emerging, he ran Into Willetts. \Breakfast for two,\ the Duke or- dered. \Mrs. Rogers and I are talc- ing the 0:27 to New York.\ He thought the butler looked at him sharply. As their train left Southampton, Peggy looked even shabbier in her cheap black dre,!* and her, little red beret. Her face was very white, 4Tor want of make-up or sleep. \It's funny,\ she said awkwardly, \but I sort of feel that everything 1 * go- ing to be all right now.\ \Why don't you and the boy move out here?\ \To stoy, you mean?\ \Sure. 1 can square It with Wil- letts. Come along, the end of tho week. Peggy. After all, It's where you belong, you know.\ \I belong with Jack,\ she laid. \And anyway, has It struck you that the old man might come back unexpected? He's been mad all years. What's he going lo do when be Uriels out about all this?\ \Well.\ Barry hazarded, \if we've got his son out—\ \He won't enre,\ Pecgy interrupt- ed, ber voice agnln liurd and piti- ful. \He never did. \Ht? smashed Jurk's flddle. Jack wanted to he a violinist. He could've been, ton. But the old man found h« was taking lessons. 'I don't want any Jazz-banders In eny family.' lie snorted. 'You're going to t; ce my place when I die.' \That started It. He'd always been hard on Jack. Boggy, the old man Is. And you enn't boss Jack. Ho got another fiddle. He was good on It, too. When he went np to Har- vard, he used to play It at parties. \When hU father heard about that, he threatened to cut off .Incb's allowance. So Jack stopped fid- dling, and began to drink. And, one night when he was awful drank, be wrote the old man's namo oa a cheek. He tried to get It back the next day, bnt the bank had turned It down, and the guy he'd given It to was sore, and bad Jock arrested. \Jack had sold his second flddle to make good. He never got anoth- er one. The old man cut Jack loose. He came op to Boston, with a newspaper that printed tho story In his hands. Cold as Ice. ho was. •You've disgraced me,' he said, 'and you'll go on disgracing me. If Til let yon. 1 won't. Too can go wlnsre yon like and do what yon please, but not with my name. If you ever SM that agnln. yon can starve.** Peggy turned to tbe window. Then, nbrnptly, \How are we mo- Ingi to get In to see him?\ abe asked. \You're hla wife.\ Barry an- awered. \And youT' Tm hla friend. And my nnnae'i Rldder.\ Even Peggy'* story didn't qalte prepare the Duke for that meeting with his other self. He'd rather expected to see, one of those weaklings who And the world a vast conspiracy igatnst them. John Darke Rldder. Jr.. prowed to be merely i frightened young- ster. A slim, rather frail lad In his early twenties, with soft, dark hair, and large, dark eyes, and a peculiarly sensitive month. His hsnds were soft and sensitive, too, but there was nothing effeminate about tbe boy. \Gee.
