Also the room was in confusion, which points to a struggle, and the stiletto is missing.

It was not suicide, but murder, and I believe either Clyne or Ferruci killed the man." "But Ferruci was not----" "He was not there after ten," interrupted Link, "but he was there about eight.

I dare say when Rhoda saw him he was coming back after having committed the deed, and Clyne says the stiletto was not there at the time just to screen him." "It is of little use to screen the dead," said Lucian.

"I think only one person can tell the truth about this murder, and that is Rhoda." "I'm looking for her, Mr.Denzil." This was easy saying, but harder doing, for weeks passed away, and in spite of all the efforts of the police Rhoda could not be found.

Then one morning the detective, much excited, burst into Lucian's rooms waving a paper over his head.
"A confession!" he cried.
