him. “You threatened to kill Orme.

"I know it. I know. it." the detec~

He shook his head in baffled fash-

"i'il tell you." John offered. "1 was
told by a physician that Once was a
victim of melancholia. Maybe that
would explain—"
Who was the physician. the detec-
tive wanted to know. Richard
Menefee. eh? Well. he'd talk to him.
He grabbed the telephone.
Gradually. John could see. the de-
tective was being forced. despite
himself. to discard the murder
theory. The coroner began to talk
to John. "Don‘t think an inquest
will be necessary." he was saying as
the detective turned away from the
telephone.
Dick enefee was not long in hr-
rivlng. and his face was a study as
he obse ved his friend. He listened
impassively as the detective told him
what had taken place. "And hill-

It was suicide. without a doubt.
the coroner declared some time later.
"And I suppose." John observed
bitterly to Die Menefee that night—
Dick had lnsls ed that John take din-
ner with him downtown—"I should
be congratulated since they didn‘t
charge me with murder."
And hienefee looked at him hard.
a concerned expression on his face.
This friend of his. he was thinking.
had been hit pretty hard-things
were piling up against him. Better
watch him. He might go to pieces.
But he said. “I had quite a long

me a few things. She's had quite a.
time of it. I'm afraid."
Dick.
“Of course. I'm curious.

laughed. "Don't ask me to violate
my ethics."
Again he was silent and fell to
studying his friend. “And what are
you going to do now. John?"
And John. a wry smile twisting his
mouth. said nothing: but late that
night as he sat in his room. the
afternoon paper that dangled from
his hand carrying pictures of the
Ormes and the police explanation
that Orme had been jealous of his
wife. he began to think of the futility .
of trying to stay on here where
every move he made got him in
trouble and provided a. fresh moi-eel
of gossip for his acquaintances.
At times during the long. weary
days that followed the Orme tragedy.
a terrible thought came bobbing up
-that of lf-destructlon.
“Hows did it—why not it”
At such times he would shrug the
thought any angrily. but it always
rehrrned during his moments of
deepest depression. to tempt him
with its promise of surcease from
hasrtaehee and pain.
