A MYSTERY.
BIZ CLARENCE NILES BouTELLl
COPYRIGHT. 1893.

tCoPYRIGHT. 1881
A half dozen of us, young men with
little business, much money and leis-
ure, had smoked and talked until after
midnight. All but one man had told
at least one story, and several of us
had told more than one. It was natur-
al, under the circumstances, that the
conversation should have touched
upon the supernatural, and no one
was astonished when one, Jack Arm
strong, / believe, turned to the only
other who had not contributed to the
evenings entertainment, and said:
"Come, Stone, tell US good ghost
story"
I'm good listener" said Charley
Stone, slowly, but l couldn't tell a
story of any kind, and, asking the par
don of two or three of you, 1 never
heard ghost story that / had the
slightest belief in. If you'll listen to
my reading, though, Ill let some let
tiers have tell as strange story as
you ever heard" All of US nodded our
approval.
"You al remember Wallace Miller,
don't you?"
"Your chum?" 1.-THE mysterious
millionaire?" ''The woman hater?"
1.-THE fellow who hunted into every
ism and 'ology that our more modern
age could originated" 1.-THE man who
never remained two nights in the same
house?-two weeks in the same coun-
try?" These were some of the ques-
tons we asked. Stone nodded gen.
eral affirmative. We all remembered
the man.
"Let me see," said Armstrong, re-
fectively, she died in California,
didn't he?''
Hes dead" said Stone, shortly.
''Shall read the letters to you?"
We eagerly begged him to begin.
"DEAR CHARLEY: I've found two
things since l left New York that will
greatly astonish you. 1 shall not
blame you when you have read them
if you examine my signature closely
and criticise, half doubling, the genu-
ineness of it. l almost doubt the

"That is ALL"
"Well, read the next letter"

Unfortunately" said Charley, grave
ly, "this story has an ending that is
more than adequate. I'll read it, if
you wish, from a clipping cut from a
San Francisco daily newspaper of the
next evening""
He read:
Sudden insanity. A gentleman
killed by maniac. Wallace Miller, a
wealthy young gentleman from New
York, had his throat cut from ear to
ear in one of our most fashionable bar
Der shops last evening. This simple
statement seems to be about all that
can be made, for the most painstaking
inquiry fails to show any other reason
for the dreadful deed than the fact
of sudden and unreasoning homicide
mania.
'Mr. Miller was a gentleman Of the
highest character and integrity, and
without single bad habit or question
able acquaintance. He did not drink.
He did not gamble. So far from there
being any woman in the case, he was
confirmed bachelor and consistent
woman hater. Indeed, it is believed
that he had met the man who killed
him only once before the fatal meeting
of last night, and that the last search
ing investigation will only serve to
make evident the fact that his death,
rather than that of some other unfortu-
nate, was simply a matter of chance.
"Pietro Goldazzi, the homicide, is an
Italian by birth, but has resided in
this country four years. He has had
an excellent reputation, but has
sometimes been regarded as moody and
sullen.

little to do with him for long time,
and affairs have been in particularly
unpleasant state for the last month. A
visit to his home revealed the fact that
his wife was preparing for hurried
departure. Trunks partly packed, bu-
reau drawers wide open, and with con-
tents scattered here and there upon
the floor, were found in two different
rooms. Mrs. Goldazzi pretends to be
Frustrated with grief, and refuses to
say anything regarding the tragedy or
her husbands condition. 1t is thought
she was going to elope with a young
Italian who was her lover before she
left her native country, though it is not
certain that he has ever been in San
Francisco.
''Pietro Goldazzi is violently insane.
It takes four men to hold him. The
physicians say there is no hope that he
will ever be better"
"Well," said Jack Armstrong, draw
ing long breath, "that is finished

of the detail of what was going on IN
your mind.
".You doubt it? That is natural. Let
me prove my assertion. Up to within
a few hours you have been what / have
asserted myself to be-a woman hater!
You have had one great advantage
over me, for you are single man while
am married. You have grown into
your fixed frame of mind naturally and
gradually; my belief has resulted from
the fierce mental wrench of untoward
experience.
"'You're in love with woman whose
