 But, said Tom. "is not your theory fanciful? There is a great deal to sup pose 1 admit that, so far as Fountain is concerned. it is plausible.
 Only plausible above the rest because you have certain ascertained facts or statements of himself and Flora to req son upon Fountain is proposing to seek a fortune, Piersons fortune lies waiting to be sought, Fountain inquiries here about Pierson's papers, and admits to Flora that he called upon me in refer ence to that enterprise. Flora is horror stricken at the idea of his coming to me, who saw the murderer at distance, and who pretended to see more than did These are the connecting links which make the reasoning seem plausible as to Fountain You seem to stumble over the idea that there must have been some knowledge of Messing by Fountain, and Of Fountain by Wessing"
 Il confess it. '
 ''lt is not necessary to the truth of my theory that they shoIxd not have knowI- edge or that they should See here Suppose Fountain did know of Messing which wholly doubt, and that he was an illegitimate son also, it would make no difference in his enterprise of killing Templeton. It would be the legitimate heir he would have to be rid of before. he or any other illegitimate heir could pretend to have claim on the unclaimed fortune"

 "The facts in this case come out slow ly," said Tom "The line of inquiry to follow is the Pierson line. Why not push your inquiries with Mrs. Temple ton? See if it is not possible to connect the Templetons with Pierson.

 'Yes.

 And suppose that Pierson was ar as sumed name in middle life to escape the consequences of devious way of living. and that, having had two dRgitimate sons. he had third. legitimate son, whose mother he had abandoned, and that son was Templeton- Templeton whom Providence had removed from Fountains path-that is to say.

ile nau asked how much Pierson had left, and Dolwel thought over two mil lions His only significant question was this:
 Had Mr. Dolwell reason to suppose that Pierson had ever borne any other namel'
 "Ah' cried Tom, that is getting warm What was DolwelI's reply?'
 No, upon the contrary he had every reason to believe he had not; he had first known of Mir. Pierson twenty-five years ago, and he then bore that name. and was known as a reputable merchant
 This thing Is very perplexing,' re- marked Tom thoughtfully ''I cannot make out the connection. Messing is here making inquiries with regard to Plerson's papers; Fountain makes the same inquiry, and yet so far as we are enabled to ascertain there is no relation between the two.
 Holbrook was pacing up and down his narrow room in profound thought Fi nally he said:
 Tom, the case stands like this Now follow me closely: TempIeton is murdered in the open streets and there is no ap parent motive for the deed Circum stances, wholly arising from Flora Ash grove $ manner and words, point the way to suspicious of Fountain.
 Good, follow you.
 As soon as we set inquiry on foot we run against the dead Pierson. Messing inquiries for his papers, So does Fountain.

 "aIt iuI miim mniie ne entered the house. Shortly he came out again, and had an opportunity to get close up to the veran- da out of sight, on the pretext Of trim ming some vines. Then there began the most extraordinary conversation.
 Tom here detailed that scene upon the veranda. of which the reader is fully in- informed During it's recital Tom was not interrupted, Holbrook was too anx- ious and interested to lose a word.
 When he had finished Holbrook said:
 That settles it. Fountain is the man."
 Il think there is no doubt of it, re- piled Tom
 None in the least. What power of self possession! Of course he realized thoroughly what she was driving at.
 "Of course, said Tom, but he is sure of her love, and does not propose to ad- init it even to her.
 ''It is only such firm. determined, cold blooded kind of person who could commit so deliberate and cold blooded murder"
 True, but 1 think his exhibition of frmness and self possession at the club was even greater than on the veranda."
 "How?'
 ''Why. on the veranda he was sure of the girl, he could depend on her love for him: but in the club an intimation that he was the murderer, backed by proof or strong suspicion. would have made each man there an enemy"
 True, commented HoIbrook. But Flora! How that girl does love! It is a wild, unreasoning, an all prevailing love "a love sacrificing everything. could not have believed it of her."
