“Yes. we all did. We coaxed her

could make Myra do anything she
didn't want to do."
"Did Carter, her maid. want her
to use makeup?" said Teddy. sud-
denly.
"Oh yes. but she had stopped uk-

"I don't know." she said. simply.
"Didn't you carry it upstairs, late
at night. at half past one. as Emma
declares?"
Todhunter Buck spoke gently,
but. he evidently expected an answer.
"No." said Bunny. "Emma made
that up. She is a born liar."
Buck said no more. but lighting a
cigaret. he strolled out on the porch.
Meantime. Al Cunningham was
listening to Mott's emphatic state-
ments that the Moore Baby was the
murderer of her friend and hostess.
Larry Inman treated the idea; with
scornful contempt. but Cunningham.
with open mind. listened to the dev
tective's arguments.
"You see, it couldn't have been
Heath himself." Mott declared. “be-
cause he went away after the house
was locked up. I haven't a doubt
but that he was the men seen by the
chap who set in the back arbor with
Katie. at about one o'clock that
night. In fact. the young fellow has
declared himself certain that it was
Heath who sneaked away from th.
house. Well, the whole thing oc-
curred after that, do you see? Very
likely Mrs. Heath saw her husband
out. and locked the door after him.
He was in the habit. I'm told. of go-
ing off to New York suddenly and
unexpectedly. and nobody thought
anything of it. Then. say. Mrs.
Heath cube back to the studio.
Somebody came to her there. and
that somebody killed her. It must
have been somebody in the house.
As to the question of Miss Moore.
there are too many positive bits of
evidence against that girl to let
suspicion stray in any other direc-
tion. She was in love with the hue-
band. therefore. of course. jealous of
the wife."
"look here, Mott." Larry burst
forth. "I will not sit here and bear
that child maligned without a word
of protest. Miss Moore is absolutely
incapable of such a thing as muo
deri'“
"Don't be absurd. Mr. roman."
Mott's to were icy. relentless.
“Just been I woman is young and
pretty. she can't be put outside the
pain of suspicion. Miss Moore's
finger-prints are on the bottle. under
your own. Miss Moore's vanity case
was used. also her crimson scarf.
Miss Moore was seen going Wii
with that vanity ease in her band
