tried TO think out some solution for the
mystery, and she, like all uncultivated
people, and the majority Of women,
laughed at what she could not under

Her laughter grated on me, and l
said somewhat sharply: Il see nothing
to laugh at. Do you?"

suspicious Of the who'd matter. Were
all these things that had happened

if they were not then they depended
on each other, and how that was
possible l could not understand.
Could it be said that I had been
used as a tool in this matter by
Miss Ormsby, and that the package con-
tanned something more than l knew OF ?
But what possible connection could
there be between the beautiful Miss
Ormsby and the little shop girl? Why
should Mr.. Holden be going to marry a
girl whom he had not seen for there
months? Why should she kill herself,
and how could be prevent it? And
lastly, what had the scrap OF purple rib
bon got to do with the affair, anyhow?
For there was no doubt in my mind that
it was the link that bound the whole
mystery together.
The saying that II there is any mis-
chief brewing there is always woman
in the case, is trite enough TO be sure;
and I have invariably found it to be true.
Who was the woman?
Every indication so far pointed to but
one. and that was Miss Ormsby.
There was but one break in the chain
OF the evidence that marked her out as
being at the bottom of the matter, and
that was the absence Of any motive for
getting rid OF the shop girl in Jordan q
Marsh's.
Evidently I must try to find out what
could from Miss Ormsby. That, how
ever, was no easy matter, for l knew
her character we'll enough to know that

1t began in the days OF Henry Clay, and
