Of course, to Antony, coming suddenly upon this scene, Cayley's conduct had seemed rather absurd, but then, just for the moment, Cayley had lost his head. Anybody else might have done the same. But, as soon as Antony suggested trying the windows, Cayley saw that that was the obvious thing to do. So he leads the way to the windows the longest way. Why? To give the murderer time to escape?

Well, naturally, he does all he can to get him well away, because if Mark is caught, the whole story of Cayley's treachery comes out." "Yes. But isn't it overdoing it rather to make him change his underclothes and everything? It wastes a good deal of time, you know." Bill was pulled up short, and said, "Oh!" in great disappointment. "No, it's not as bad as that, Bill," said Antony with a smile.

Whatever had happened inside the office, whoever had killed Robert, Cayley knew all about it, and knew that Mark was not inside, and had not escaped by the window. But it was necessary to Cayley's plans to Mark's plans if they were acting in concert that he should be thought so to have escaped. A window had not been left open! Probably it would just have been a horrible doubt at first.

My companion through the winter was Mr. Reginald Cholmondeley, a Cambridge ally, who was studying painting. He was the uncle of Miss Cholmondeley the well-known authoress, whose mother, by the way, was a first cousin of George Cayley's, and also a great friend of mine. On my return to England I took up my abode in Dean's Yard, and shared a house there with Mr.

And if Cayley had been hiding the truth about the keys, why should he not be hiding the truth about Mark's entry into the office? Obviously all Cayley's evidence went for nothing. Some of it no doubt was true; but he was giving it, both truth and falsehood, with a purpose.

The spirit in which he pursued his work may be judged from an anecdote related by his friend and co-worker, Sylvester, who, in speaking of Cayley's even and placid temper, told me that he had never seen him ruffled but once.

"Ideas" are the very foundation-stones of invention if we may be allowed the figure of speech and Englishmen are proud, and rightly proud, to number within their ranks the original inventor of the heavier-than-air machine. For many years after the publication of Sir George Cayley's articles and lectures on aviation very little was done in the way of aerial experiments.

"Now then," he said, "let's go through Cayley's mind carefully, and see what we get." Cayley had been in the hall when Robert was shown into the office. The servant goes off to look for Mark, and Cayley goes on with his book. Mark comes down the stairs, warns Cayley to stand by in case he is wanted, and goes to meet his brother. What does Cayley expect?

George Cayley was a botanist sent out by Sir Joseph Banks to collect for Kew Gardens. He was industrious and painstaking in his vocation, but sadly overburdened with vanity. He made one important journey to the Blue Mountains, with the usual result. He erected a cairn of stones at the furthest point he reached, which Governor Macquarie afterwards christened "Cayley's Repulse."

If it went up in Bill's window, then they were discovered. It would mean that Cayley had glanced into Bill's room, had been suspicious of the dummy figure in the bed, and had turned up the light to make sure. After that, it was war between them. But if it went up in Cayley's room There was a light. Antony felt a sudden thrill of excitement. It was in Bill's room. War!
