Great was the dismay throughout the countryside when it became known that Maurice Alymer had been murdered. The dead man was well known in drawing-room and in hunting-field, so that there was hardly a person of consequence in the county who could not claim at least a bowing acquaintance with him. Moreover, Maurice was one of those men who are always popular, and much sympathy was manifested for his untimely death. Also the mysterious way in which he had come to his end, the absence of any known motive, and the knowledge that the deceased had no enemies--all these thing's combined to raise public curiosity to the highest pitch. The inquest on the dead body was awaited with much anxiety. "I can't undertake to answer all that at once, Miss Pat," he said. "Let's go find what Elinor thinks about it." When she returned to her post after a brief nap on the wide couch, everything was quiet, much to her disgust..

"I got my criticism! And he said the work was good! Now I can write to Bruce," and her voice rang with a thrilling note of joy that carried Patricia with her. With some impatience prisoner's counsel admitted that the devil-stick had been used to kill the deceased, and requested the prosecutor to pass on to more important details. "It couldn't be Griffin," said Patricia earnestly. "She was too disgusted with it." "Not Dido. Oh!" cried Isabella, in a tone of anguish, "it was my mother.".
