rto*. loved had been d -pelled
Ye.. Pavl. wa. right. I would go to
slderablc hurry. A pile of mall half-
sorted. a stamp drawer left wide open
and the book, .landing In an open
safe seemed to bear out thl. theory
Even the ca.h-drawer stood open, re-
vealing a few blllls and some change.
• If the cash-drawer had been rifled,
said to myself. "1 might suspect that
the postmaster had been murdered
and robbed." . . ...
I pushed the cash-drawer shut and
heard the automatic lock cUck on , '
and then began a search for the list
of box-owners. At the back of e.cb
box a slip was pasted with the own-
er's name. To my great disappoint-
ment Box No. 17 was blunk. 1 turned
next to the safe and at last found the
book In which the account, of box-
rent were kept. In thl. were, neaOy
entered the name of each box^older
and the two reference, given, for ev-
ery box except No. 17.

With the triumphnn feeling that my
friend the Inspector finally would
have to accept my theory of Crnndall s
guilt, I hurried down stairs and forced
my ay into the room where the coro-
ner had already begun hi. inque.t.
On the bed. covered with a sheet,
except for the face, lay the lifeless
body of a woman perhaps fifty, the
face still distorted from the death
agony. A bit of rope attached to a
rod among the rafters of the room
