"Well, he was a good one" interrupted
drummer No. 2. Somebody told me once
but, pardon me, sir
II was going to tell you of perhaps the
most remarks BILE case that John Phillips
ever unraveIed," said the somber man.
Lets have 1t by all means came from
US in a chorus. in which the offending
drummer Joined heartily. The somber man
leaned hack In his seat, half closed his
eyes and began:
A number of years ago I was residing
with an elder brother at certain village
situated on the Hudson river not far from
the northern end of the Palisades. Our
family was composed of my brother Rob-
ert, his daughter Mary myself and negro
servant of the name Of Pompey Augustus
Anderson. My brothers wife had died
shortly after the birth Of my niece, who
was, at the time I speak of, a remarkably
handsome though delicate girl She was
liant; but she was creature of strange
moods. and there were days when she
would hardly speak to any one OF the
household, and would either shut herself
fields and woods, even managing to return
late for meals so as to avoid sitting at
table with us. My brother worried good
deal over these eccentricities: but 1 used
to console him with the idea that young
girls of from fifteen to eighteen were apt
to be dreamy and morbid at times.
Well, we lived in that way for upward
Of four years; and the only excitement
that broke in on the moDotony of our lives
was my niece's first love affair The young
man. New Yorker, had been rusticated
that fall by one of the New England col
lege5 which he was attending, and his
family had sent him up to our village with
private tutor to spend a few weeks in
study and contemplation. I never consider
ed him positively bad fellow but he was
certainly very lively one, and some of
his escapades, of which we learned later,
had been startling and original, even for
collegian.
1t was the most natural thing in the
world that he and Mary should imagine
themselves In love with each other There
was practically no masculine society for
her in the village. and she was the only
young woman there Of refinement, beauty

cerned, my mind remains an absolute
blank until am sure that have identified
the criminal. Therefore, / begin by in
vestigating everything and every one"
Reassured somewhat, I tried to acquaint
him. as well as I could, with my niece's
peculiar disposition, going as far to explain
the Indifference she had certainly manifest
ed ever since her fathers death. AS I have
before stated, she had been gloomy and de-
pressed-sulky. in fact-from the time of
my brothers trouble with Ralph; and I was
fain to confess that, since the terrible de-
nouement, / had been utterly unable to
detect the least change in her demeanor.
Once or twice I had heard her talking to
herself; but the only time had ventured
to console her was Immediately after the
discovery of the body, when 1 feared the
shock Of the first news might be serious. I
was astonished at her calmness. She heard
me to the end, and then replied:
II am not child, uncle. I have borne
other troubles. and I shall have to bear

dark. Otherwise it is inconceivable that
any one should haye risked carrying the
body across the lawn"
A new idea, more horrible than any I
had as yet harbored. came suddenly over
me, and grew sick at the mere thought
Was this man going to prove that my
niece had let Ralph into the house to kill
her father? The detective, however, SEEM

we will call him-though that was not his
feal name-spent a great deal of time at
our house.
My brother, as people are apt to do, paid
ho attention to the affair, pooh-poohed all
my warnings. and buried himself. in his
books. Then, too, he was very much ex-
frSised at the time over his quarreis with
