The window of the room was open, and beside the window, all huddled up, lay the body of a man in his nightdress. He was quite dead, and had been for some time, for his limbs were rigid and cold.

The cause of death was a deep stab in the left side, which must have penetrated the heart. And now comes the strangest part of the affair. What do you suppose was above the murdered man?” IT THE BOOTS POINTED OUT THE DOOR TO ME AND WAS ABOUT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS AGAIN WHEN I SAW SOMETHING THAT MADE ME FEEL SICKISH IN SPITE OF MY TWENTY YEARS EXPERIENCE FROM UNDER THE DOOR THERE CURLED A LITTLE RED RIBBON OF BLOOD WHICH HAD MEANDERED ACROSS THE PASSAGE AND FORMED A LITTLE POOL ALONG THE SKIRTIN AT THE OTHER SIDE I GAVE A CRY WHICH BROUGHT THE BOOTS BACK HE NEARLY FAINTED WHEN HE SAW IT THE DOOR WAS LOCKED ON THE INSIDE BUT WE PUT OUR SHOULDERS TO IT AND KNOCKED IT IN THE WINDOW OF THE ROOM WAS OPEN AND BESIDE THE WINDOW ALL HUDDLED UP LAY THE BODY OF A MAN IN HIS NIGHT DRESS HE WAS QUITE DEAD AND HAD BEEN FOR SOME TIME FOR HIS LIMBS WERE RIGID AND COLD WHEN WE TURNED HIM OVER THE BOOTS RECOGNIZED HIM AT ONCE AS BEING THE SAME GENTLEMAN WHO HAD ENGAGED THE ROOM UNDER THE NAME OF JOSEPH STANGERSON THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS A DEEP STAB IN THE LEFT SIDE WHICH MUST HAVE PENETRATED THE HEART AND NOW COMES THE STRANGEST PART OF THE AFFAIR WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE WAS ABOVE THE MURDERED MAN
