Carmelita gave the speaker a sxidi den glance of withering anger, and then as s-uddenly broke into a smile. "You're too absurd, Helen!" she said. "I am brave enough for anything, but I couldn't stab a man in the ocean without being seen by those near me--if they were all as lynx-eyed as you, dear. You can swear I didn't do it, can't you?" "Oh, Lord, honey, I didn't mean you did it, I only meant--" "You haven't the faintest idea what you meant," and Dan Pelton laughed at the bewildered look on the Duchess' round pink face.

Anastasia Folsom, eccentric and masterful sister of the dead man, arrives and takes command. At the inquest it is learned that the death weapon was a pichaq, an Oriental knife, ana it had been bought on the board- walk. It Sears also learned that one Croydon who was in Barron's party, is a lancier of curious knives. Anastasia engages Titus R\c»s, an architect, to ™ orl the case.

He believes his uncle had been blackmailing several people and he end Riggs discover suspicious documents in Folsom's effects, bearing the initials of Croydon Sears. Riggs questions Sears and is answered curtly. Others act suspiciously, including Ned Barron's wife, Mad- Croydon Sears' initials are discovered in a notebook of Folsom's and Pelton thinks his uncle had been doing ronoe blackmailing. Robin Sears, Crovdon's son, is worried now that suspicion is resting on his father. Rigcs tells him he has learned that Croydon Sears ad purchased a third dagger. Angelica Fair, Robin's fiancee, questions Ross, the dead man's former valet, who tells her he thinks Sears had visited at Folsom's home. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XXXVI.

"It's a strange thing, as soon as a man is in the company of two of the most beautiful women the place, his attention immediately wanders to some other woman.'" "For an instant only," and Pelton laughed as he devoted himself to his companions. It was not long before the talk drifted to the Folsom case. "But perhaps the subject bores or pains you, Duchess," Dan said, as he and Neville began to discuss it. "No," she returned, smiling faintly, "not if you don't keep it up too long." "Just a minute.

"Or more. Such things are not entirely unknown in lawyers' relation-often unwise to place on them.

He was not on the deck when a tall, dark-eyed man appeared there and immediately made himself at home in a certain pleasant corner, which Robin Sears had held against other would-be occupants for this very purpose. Secluded corners of the deck of the Hotel Majusaca were greatly liked by individuals or small groups who wished to be alone, and when at last Croydon Sears and his guest arrived, Robin Sears was relieved, for he had been the target for envious glances from those who considered him selfishly inclined. He had met Stone before, though not recently, and he looked with in-teresst at the grave-faced, quietly whosse eyes, however, dai rywhere and took about e thing. (To be continued.)
