 Its my opinion, "said ], ''that there is a relationship between Strent and Rose. In such relationship lies the se- cret of the crime and her silence.

 ''Or even lovers." said. nodding my head. Jealousy on the part of Strent might have spurred him on to killing Felix
 These, however, were all theories, and we parted for the night without coming to any decision as to who was the guilty party. In the morning I re- oeived n telegram from Merrick and went off with it at once to the inspect or. It ran thus:

attends Harvard Lady Somerset is the Frances E. Willard of Great Britain. She is the foe of vice in any form and considers living pictures degrading to those who takc part in them and to those who view them.
 She is a strong minded woman and consequently makes no secret of the fact that she was born in 1851. She is the eldest daughter of Earl and Coun tess Somers of Eastnor castle, Lodbury. in Herefordshire, England. and succeed cd to the vast estates of her father. At 2l she was married, but not mated, to Lord Henry Somerset, second son of the Duke of Beaufort, and in 1874 her only child was born. Marriage was q failure so far as she and Lord Somerset were concerned. and his dissipated hab- its soon led to O separation. The child was awarded to its mother. and Lord Somerset retired to Florence to live on e handsome allowance furnished by his wife
 From that time until 1885 her life was passed amid the gay whirl of Eng lish society. Then sudden religious con- victions caused her to abandon life of elegant idleness for life of work in the cause of humanity. There were 100, 900 tenants on her property in the east of London. and she promptly engaged in mission work among them She gave fetes to 10. 1000 poor people at a time. and Eastnor castle was thronged with humble visitors Lady Somerset then turned her attention to the liquor prob lem and became president of the British Womants TemparanCa association and vtce president of the Worlds women's Christian Temperance union Lady Somerset had long been an ardent ad- mirer of Miss Willard and came to America in 1891 to see her. Lady Som ersst spoke in all the large cities on temperance work and returned to Amer. ica in 1898 to dedicate tho woman's temple in Chicago and participate in the opening exercises of tho Worlds fair. Lady Somerset believes in wom- en's rights. 'She who is hfegiver, !" she declares, fought to sit among the iawgiverr"

The exact list of the players will never be known. but Senator Wolcott of Col orado and ex Governor Hauser of Mon tana were in it, and Senator Farwen of Chicago was in the rOOm-
 About midnight q swell drummer for Q Chicago dry goods firm sent up his card to Senator FarwelL The senator went down to see him and brought him up to the room where the game was going on He introduced him to the other players. Have you any objection to my play ing2" asked the drummer.

 'There is another means of identifi- cation," said I. "StTent is lame, so if 0 lame man calls on Miss Gernon my detective, aided by the picture, will know it is Strent"

 When we left the doctor, Francis looked pale and upset. He was just be- ginning to realize the predicament in which he stood. was afraid myself that when all was known he would be arrested. His own actions looked black. though I knew they were done out of pure foolishness Had he only trusted me at the time, all the trouble would have been averted As it was, deter mined to stand by him to the end
 ''Cheer up, Briarfeld, " said I, clap ping him on his back. "If Merrick and I solved so much of the mystery, you may be sure we'll find out the rest.
 Its the newspapers I'm thinking of," he said ruefnlly. ''n all this foolishness gets into tho press, Mrs. Bellin will never let me marry Olivia.
 ''I don't think Mrs. Bellin will have much say in the matter" answer ed dryly. "Olivia is not the kind of woman to give up her lover so easily, particularly when she knows the truth. She'll stick to you, as 1 intend to do. As to the press, you forget that tho in- quest is at Marshminstcr, which only possesses weekly paper. l know the editor and can keep all details out of it.

 Thank you, Denham," said the poor fellow gratefully. "You are the best friend have"
 Faith, you didn't think so at Paris, Briarfield. I've no doubt that there yOl cursed me by all your gods for med dlesome fool.
 At this he laughed and began to picA up his spirits. We saw the detective who was watching Rose Gernon and gave him the picture drawn by Fran cis, with full description of the man he wanted. Especially did we lay stress on the lameness, and in the end our detective promised that he would nail any man answering to our descrip- tion. I gave him my address at Marsl- minister and told him to wire when he found out the whereabouts of Strent. I also told him to wire to Merrick, as the doctor was anxious to know if his theory would prove correct.
 Next day we went down to Marsh minister. By permission Francis staid with me at Aunt Janc's house, and learning that he was ill trouble the two old ladies made much of him. We saw the inspector of police, who was a friend of mine, and learned that the body of Felix Briarfield was at the morgue of Marshminster The inquest
