examination of the skip. The doors of

was undeniable that a felonious entrance

purpoea, still remained uncertain. Even
now Renehaw found it dlfttoult to accept
Mott's theory that de TSrrtorea was the
aggressor and Roaey the object, nor could
he Justify his own soapteim that tha Las
car bad obtained a surreptitious entrance
under Sleight's directions. With a feeling
that if Rooty had iicen preaeut he would
have confessed nil, and demanded from
her an equal confidence, he began to hate
his feeble, purposeless and inefficient alll-
sues with her father, who believed bat
