This ~as the wording Of the telegram TO
c~ivst one vet. ugly night last December
~ss sitting In my little snuggery back Of my
Office tefore a blazing CRATE, with my feet In
siipr@rs and my tody in = warm dressing

a,ir.> p.s On tie table tefore me, aiong with
an ancut novel and a genuine Havana, with
which I intended to regale myself presently
And although had very strong anxiety 20
secure Joriette IL must be confessed that
Wa aitngsthsr too comfortably situated 10
relish going out into the cold that disnaliy
dirty night
This telegram was from my chief. who,
might a. well say vas a detective, and had
followed that than kle~s and precarious buxi'
ns~s for -syeraI yesrx People considered me
very successful In working up difficult cases,
but was never quite satisfied with myself
wonder II any man ever Isl
This .ame Jorlstts had given US great
deal Of trouble We had never had No kseniy
cunning spirit 10 cope rAh. Strategy was
matched With strategy. diplomacy with dipio-
macy and sof times, when We were sure
Of him, hs had slipped from under our fingers
like flea and left us wondering how he man

Perhaps 10 would be well To explain that
Pierre Joriette was a murderer, upon whose

Frenchman and nobleman BY birth, gen
tleman by education he had when very
young married beautiful English girl, with
whom he passed two years Of unalloyed hap
piness At the end Of that time some fearful
shallow came between them-none knew OF
what nature-and the inhuman husband
stabbed bis wife to the hearti Her contden-
tial maid witnessed the deed and attempted
TO save the life Of her mistress, but Jorlette
fell upon her with savage ferocity and left
the two eorpses lying together side by side.
These are the facts rs briefly as can state
them TO you OF course there were many
minor circumstances not worth recording, as
they have little bearing upon the short story
writing.
Il seemed from this telegram that JorIetts
was tn bo on the ! 30 train wondered how
taihcart had got his information, but he had
armies u spies constantly working for him,
and probably some Of them had made the
discovery
had only to follow instructions
For tn. hundredth time | took Jorlettes

fascinating columns, = pair Of rural lovers
iounzing on each others shoulders and dis
cusslug peppermint drops together, and
present., We were re enforced by an old lady
In a very prime bonnet with brown ribbons,
and bearing luggage in the shape Of a bird
cage, a basket with II cat in IT, an umbrella
and a very large carpet sack
Jorlette had pruduced another section Of
pie and was demolishing 1t vigorously
Seemingly he enjoyed it Well, suppose
even "A murderer may enjoy eating pie
just the train began to move the door
opene'l and young lady came hesltatingly
forward You know what helpless creatures
women are on their feet in a bouncing, sway
ing railway car. and this young beauty WAS
no exc, itlou She tottered, and would have
fallen. but put out my arm and caught her,
ct the same time offering her the unoccupied
seat at my side.
She busned rosily. thank me in the sweet
est voice had ever heard and sank down on
the cushions. covering my knees with pillows
os rutfiing and fringing. making me feel
well, not many removes from the gates OF
Paradise
