fOr tue reasons you menuOneus Anu
since we look like twins when you have
It off, let me see If look like you with
wig on my head.'
"Greatly interested, peeped into the
room while Mr.. Kimball put ON the
wig, and was perfectly astonished to see
how strangely It resembled Hanold.
Only Ii appeared to me that the wig fit
him too loosely, and q moment later he
remarked: The wig is rather too large
for me, otherwise would readily be
taken for you.'"
When he removed the wig, and re-
turned 1t to its owner, / looked at the
two men, and to my amazement beheld,
as twins, two Jocelyn Kimballs Twins
could not possibly look more alike
They had not observed me, and crept
away safely and resumed my occupation
at the further end of the passage.
"The physician when examining the
dead mans head, also remarked that the
wig he had ON was too large for his
head. The companion of Mr.. Kimball
changed clothes with the dead man,
after sending the boy away after the
doctor. Can you see itY' she asked
eagerly.
"After what you have just told me
with reference to the incident in their
room, can readily believe such thing
WAS possible" remarked the detective,
with serious air, "and the change of
temper, habits and disposition in the
present Mr.. Kimball, would naturally
cause one to arrive at such conclusion.
Knowing what you know, shall take
the matter in hand, If that is your
desire, and give it a thorough investiga-
tion. shall stop at your fathers hotel
under the name of Mr.. Otto Kunkaly,
and profess to be acquainted with
you. Let us therefore agree to this
point-where we became acquainted
providing your father should ask me-"
"Say we met at Lancaster last winter,
at a party" said she.
Every good" was the rejoinder, and
they parted to meet again at her fathers
hotel.
Next day, in the early forenoon, -" Mr.
Kunklay" entered the Farmers Hotel,
and registered his name. AT dinner he
saw the hosts daughter, but she did not
recognize him, although she appeared to
be anxiously awaiting his arrival. Var
noe wore complete disguise.
After dinner he saw her alone, and
make himself known. She regarded
him with amazementl Had he not
mentioned his assumed name, and the
object of his coming there, she would
not have believed that he was Mr.
Varnoe.
She introduced him to her father and
mother, stating where they had met,
then had long conversation with him
in the private parlor. She informed
him that Mr.. Kimball las we shall call
him for the present), when asked
whether he had apprised Mr.. Hanold's
friends of his death, replied:
"No; for the very good reason that L
know nothing at all about them. I
picked him up in Philadelphia, during
my stay there, but never heard him
allude to any of his relatives. think
he has none, so have concluded to give
him decent burial in one of your GEM
eteries."
He thereupon purchased lot in the
cemetery, and ordered the sexton to
prepare the grave. The funeral was to
take place on the following day.
Miss Mosher handed Varnoe letter,
sealed and directed to Mrs. Agatha Kim
ball, New Orleans, La.
"This letter." said she, twas handed
to me on the day of the terrible accident.
The real Mr.. Kimball asked me to mail
it for him. L had quite forgotten to do
SO, and the sad affair, occurring so soon
after, drove it quite from my mind until
my suspicious were aroused, then /
concluded to retain it and give it to you,
hoping you could discover something to
aid you by perusing it,"
"My dear lady," responded the detec-
tive, in grave tone, ''not for the world
would break the seal of that letter;
you must mail it. shall send tele-
gram to the same address. / am glad
you have the address, for was about to
ask if you knew where Mr.. Kimball's
friends resided"
He told me his home was in New
Orleans" rejoined the lady. "He also
informed me that he had been travelling
through the Northern and Eastern
States for the past eight months, and
had not been home during all that
| period"
