"Not later than a quarter of four, l am sure." "Probably earlier than that," added Royce. "Rylie was the first one who quarreled with .Franklin, and that was right after we came.

She and Jim quarreled. Jim wanted to know |what she was doing here. He was angry. She claimed that he had sent for her. I hushed them up. I was afraid the sound of their voices could be heard inside the church. " ‘Come in here.’ Jim said and, grab bing her by the arm, pulled her Into the study., That was the last I heard.” "Did you jtee her again?” • Kilday wanted to know. "No. She must have, left by the back door.” "How about Franklin?” Peter Car digan inquired. "Did you see him after that, either?’ Royce hesitated, as tlK>ugh for reflec tion. “No o.” he said sWwly, "Come to think of it, that was the last I saw of Jim.” They were interrupted by one of Kllday’s assistants, entering from the study with the dagger. "No prints. Sergeant.” he reported. "The handle must have been wiped) clean." "It was too much to hope for." re plied Kilday. as he drew It from its scahhard. The blade was about five inches long and .curved onl.v slightly. The nuvst interesting feature of tlie dagger was its handle of elaborately carved I' “You Will,-or I'll—’’ ivory, witli a curved metal lillt in the slia|>e of two ram's horns, their tips IKdnting downward.
