Then he startling announcement is made that Folsom had been sta to death in the water. Ross, his valet, 1s questioned, as are Barron and his wife, but no light is shed on the mystery. The eccentric Anastasia Folsom arrives, takes command of the situa- tion and orders an inquest, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. : , CHAPTER XIII " A group of people sat on the deck of the hotel and watched the kaleido- scopic crowd already assembling on | the boardwalk and the beach. One of these was Ned Barron, who had stoodsnext to Garrett Folsom at the time of his sudden collapse. "Of course I must report, Maddy," he was saying to his wife. "I stood next to Mr, Folsom. 1 had been talk- Ing with him. As I had never seen or heard of the man before, my evidence can bo of no help, but I must offer it." "I wish You wouldn't," Madeline Barron said thoughtfully. "I see your point of view, of course, and it is logical in a way. But, as you say, it can be of no help, and it would get you 'a most unpleasant notoriety. Why, they, may even think youn knew the diad man, and they will call on you for testimony at the inquest and --and all sorts of horrid things!" "Bless your heart, child, what a fearsome picture you draw! I can't feel, though, 'that I shall be greatly ificonvenienced, except that it may cut into my time a little. But duty is duty, and I certainly was nex} the man--" "1, too, advise you to keep ou of it, Ned." It was Croydon Sears who spoke, who, with his eon, Robin, and Ange- lica Fair, completed the party. "I don't think it is your duty" Sears went on. '"Y6u know nothing of the man; you have no personal in- terest in the affair, and since you can be of no possible help, why mix in?" "That's all right, dad," Robin Sea said. "But these notices ask any guest of the hotel who. knows anything about the matter--" "There you are" returned "his father. "Barron doesn't know any- thing about the matter. Hello, here's Tite Riggs. Let him advise us. Come here, Tite, sit down and give us some words of wisdom. Ned, here, thinks he ought to announce to a waiting aworld that he stood next Mr. Folsom, who 'was, they say, killed while in bathing." "I paw you talking to him," said Riggs, sitting down near them. assumed from that that you knew him." _ "Well, T didn't" said Barron, "shortly. "And 1 wasn't talking to him; he was talking to me." "A digtinction with a difference?" % 'up with a touch of Toguery, er ¥ pressive dark eyes shone '| "Oh, I read hE "Very much of a difference. I de- test being by strangers, especially those who have a rooted oonviction that ocean bathing consbl- tutes en introduction. It's tdo ab. {en surd! Because you stand next to an- other man at the rope, or bump into | him by reason of a buffeting wave, does that mean sudden friendship?" "No," Madeline : said, decidedly. "And Ned fs foolish to give the mat- ter @ thought--" "Oh, I know my duty, even though it is Tiot in line with my inclinations. | You agree, don't you, Tite, that I am { bound to tell the management--after | these, notices we all received this morning--that I stood next to this victim of a tragic death? Even though 1 was annoyed at his unconvention- ality, my duty es a good citizen is plain. And, too, if only to clear my- self from possible suspicion--" "Clear yourself!" his wife exclaim- ed. "On the contrary, you will put spurself in a. position to be sus- pected!" "Nonsense, Maddy, excited about this thing. you're over- Tell her, fell down into the water. But others spoke to him after that. I know,:be- cause. I stood at the other side of Mr.{ cal Barron, and" I had opportunity of 4] hie glad to learn, Mrs, Baron, y observant. Your Test that you were mony may be of value. 'As nearly as 1 can find ont, you.gnd Mr, Barron were on one side of my brother, and two ladies, known to me, were at his other 'side, Now, will you tell me, please, who, sinco you were noticing, was aléo near him? Not necessarily on the rope, but nearby in the water?" Madeline thought. She was most anxious to remember those who were nearby, as every other possible sus. pect helped to fend off thought of her husband. She knew that Ned never knew the dead man, and had no pos- gible personal interest in him, but she "OF "COURSE 1 MUST REPORT, MADDY, " HE WAS SAYING TO HIS WIFE! Tite, that I've no choice in the mat- wy | tex." "1 think so," Riggs said, slowly, looking at Madeline with an. apolo- getic mir. "It seems to me it would te better in every way for Ned to go! | at once to the management and make his "And be subpoenaed 'as a thaterial wi " "Good" heavens, Maddy," cried her husband, "I didn't know you even@ knew, too, how, in the stcrles she had read, an innocent man was frequently put 'in most unpleasant situations." "Mr. Sears was not far off," said Madeline Barron, at last. "But nearer still, I remember now, were Mr, Mrs. Tracy.
