"Well, you're mistaken; 1t was here

and Stacey pointed to the fatal chair with
its back to the mantel.
''I-certainly, sir, il you wish," said
Alfonso, with some hesitation. He cast a
furtive glance once more up into the i'm
passive face of the Roman woman, and
took the chair.
Stacey took from his pocket two dia-
grams procured from the coroner's ply
iician, showing the location OF the wound
and the direction taken by the bullet in
each of the victims. With these as a
guide he located upon Alfonse's head the
spot marked by the wounds, and placed
finger upon it.
AS he did so he felt that the man
trembled slightly, but he appeared not to
notice it.
He next gauged the track of the bullets
by means of his walking stick, which he
held against Alfonse's head, regulating
its angle by means of the diagrams. This
done Stacey felt certain that he had
secured the line along which the fatal
square bullets had travelled.
And, therefore, he was greatly surprised
when, upon prolonging the line thus
marked in the air by his walking stick,
he found that the other end terminated
in the face of the Beatrice Cenci.
Having very little Of the artistic in his
soul, the detective had heretofore paid but
slight attention to the picture, excepting
as one OF the component parts of the room
as whole, possessing about the same
relative importance in his eyes as the
windows and the furniture. It now sud-
denly leaped into prominence as the one
single feature OF the apartment worthy OF

II hung about eight feet from the floor
level and three feet above the oaken
mantel. The canvas appeared to be about
24x30 inches, and was surrounded by n
heavy gilt frame. Having observed this
much from the vantage ground OF the
carpet Stacey rang the electric bell and
demanded stepladder. When this was
brought and he was again alone he pro-
ceeded TO make a closer inspection of the
picture. He was no sooner at the top OF
the ladder, and his face upon a level with
the portrait than he made an important
discovery.
There was no pupil in the left eye Of
Beatrice Cenci.
A little round hole had been cut through
the canvas-a hole hardly large enough TO
admit the end Of a lead pencil, otherwise
1t would have been noticeable from the
floor of the room, but quite large enough
TO permit the passage OF a weapon OF suf-
