Mrs. Lamonts reception was decidedly
military in its character. as the majority of
the ladies of the receiving party were either
the wives or daughters of Army officers. This
practice, iIaugUrated last season, made the
Secretary of War and Mrs Lamont extremely
popular with the Army. and its continuation
during the present winter will doubtless add
to their laurels in this respect.
Mrs. Lamont received in a gown of white
satin with collar, girdle. and shoulder knots
of lavender velvet. The ladies of the re-
ceiring party were Mics katherine Willard,

pleasant feature Of the always agreeable re-
ceptions held at the house of the Secretary of
the Navy Later in the afternoon the Seere-
tary arrived and took a most informal part in
the reception, but proving himself an able
adjutant to his daughter in the art of enter
tanning. The ladies of the receiving party
were Miss E1eS, MISS Snerflii, MISS f6nuIe-
ton, Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. John Davies Jones,
Mrs. Rush, Miss FyiTe. and Miss Ruggles.
The home of the Postmaster General was
one that was in no wise neglected by callers,

CHAPTER XXI.
THE STRANGER.


Inspector Briggs suddenly lost all his
apathy and became as alert as a cat on
the pounce. He felt in his best form.
There was a mystery to be solved, work
to be done, and reasonable amount Of
danger to be incurred, for the burglar
might be armed and desperate.
The street lamp sent sufficient light
into the room, and the inspectors eyes
had now grown so accustomed to the
dark that he could Zee almost every OBJ
ject in the bedroom plainly.
He looked under the bed. 1t seemed
an awkward place to plant himself, and
it would leave him at the mercy of an
armed man. There were two cupboards
in the room both filling up spaces in the
walls and both standing at right angles
to the door. One of these cupboards was
placed in the wall at the gable end of
the house, and the bed stood between it
and the door. Into this cupboard In
spector Briggs stepped, secure IN the
"opinion" of Detective Goringe that the
visitor, if he happened to be the right
person, would concern himself only with
that mysterious door which had perplex-
ed and puzzled the coroner's jury and
police.
Briggs had not long to wait before he
Heard a sound outside the bedroom door,
a sound of shutting feet. The cupboard
in which he had concealed himself had
no shelves and when the two doors were
pulled to without being closed tight
there was a narrow slit between the
doors, and through this the police in
spector could see the whole of the bed

CHAPTER XXI
A RETURN VISIT.


II am afraid" said Inspector Briggs
as he stood inside Albert Steinworth' s
room, "that Red Riding Hood is not
equal to the task of teaching her grand
mother to suck eggs"
You're a dear, good fellow" said
Goringe. 1.-THE strain is off now. have
been treating yotf somewhat hardly,
trying your temper perhaps. But you'll
forgive me, know. And now I'll dis
close my secret thoughts to you. But
first and foremost take this in Four
hand and say after me, The evidence
you shall give in this case shall be the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth. p"
Almost mechanically Briggs, who
was trifie bewildered by the sudden
change from grave to gay in Goringe's
manner and voice, was about to lift to
his lips the oblong packet which the de-
tective handed to him.
''Turn your bullseye ON that tesla
ment, inspector, said Goringe.
"You don't mean it surelyr' ex-
claimed Briggs as he flashed the light
ON the packet. 1.-THE notesr'
Eyes haven't counted them yet,
but / fancy they are in order"
"You are very clever" said Briggs,
lingering the packet lovingly.
mot half so clever as you think.
But let me explain my discovery to
you, and also let me tell you that am
not in position tonight to clear up
more than half of the mystery. 1 am
still puzzled, but as have already stat
ed the strain is off. I have performed
my share of the work, and feel free to
deliver myself and my thoughts to you
in fact, if you wish it, to revel in sus-
picions and opinions.
II think you have cleared up every
thing except the extraordinary lie told
by Mr.. Vickery. You have locked your
self into this room, leaving the key in
the lock outside. Even the foreman of
the coroner's jury couldn't do that.
''It is a strangely simple trick after
| all !"
Something of the Columbus and the
egg type, no doubt.
Columbus need not have played it
down so low as breaking the shell. A
well organized shaking of the egg would
have been sufficient-that is, unless it
was an egg specially constructed for
sale in the London market. +"

With quick push the doorwas open-

With quick push the doorwas open
ed, and man stepped into the room.
Briggs could get view Of only a por-
ton of the intruder face, and that only
for a moment, as the man closed the
door to quietly, the catch making a
clicking sound which denoted that it
was safe in its place Then the stranger
stood still, his back toward the cup
board.
A tall man, stout and with a full,
dark beard Not Steinworth, not Wick
cry, not Leclerc. At least not unless it
was one Of these in disguise
After standing still for a moment the
burglar, who wore long brown over
coat, put his hand into one of the peck
cts of the overcoat and drew something
out. Probably a jimmy.
Evidently my friend is quite of opin-
ion that he is alone in the house" re-
f1ected Briggs. HE seems in no violent
hurry. Now, then, he is about to turn
his face this wayW
But Inspector Briggs was wrong. The
man moved slightly round, and then,
lifting his hands and standing quite
close to the door, he proceeded to do
something with jimmy.
Was it jimmy? No, decided the in
spector, watching the strangers move
ments narrowly. 1t was a turnscrew.
The stranger worked with the turnscrew
for a couple of minutes. Then he went
down ON his knees and continued his
operations on the frame of the door.
What did it mean? And why couldn' t
the fellow just give him one fair look at
his face? 1t was most tantalizing How
long would be have to stand in the
cupboard eying the stranger? 1t would
never do to interrupt him now. He was
evidently engaged on some job which he
was certain he could accomplish easily
and leisrely. He was not giving any
attention TO the lock of the door. But
why should he? The door was now I'M
locked. Or was it? Perhaps that sardonic
humorist, Goringe, was now outside the
door turning the key slowly and quiet

~, self satisfied grin on his face. That
would be capital, thought Inspector
Briggs. Indeed he was so much carried
away by the notion that he was very
near forgetting himself and indulging in
a quiet chuckle.
"What the deuce is he at now, and
what prompts him to keep his full face
or even half his face out Of my line Of
vision?" wondered Briggs as the stran-
ger rose to his feet. 'He has unscrewed
something - the hinges of the door.
How ON earth has he done that, thought
Inspector Briggs was tantalized. Here
was his prey within his grasp, and yet
he must not stir. Even his breath he
had to draw carefully lest he might dis
turb the man who was silently operating
on the door.
The stranger now got the screwdriver
slowly and cautiously in between the
door and frame, and as quietly as if he
was an engraver or wood carver pick
ing out a difficult bit of his work he
gradually worked the back of the door
in toward him until the back of the door
itself was wholly parted from the frame
and stood in the room.
Inspector Briggs could scarcely con-
tain himself as he saw this strange oper-
alton performed.
Then the black bearded man put out
his left hand, holding the back of the
door steadily with his right hand, and
put the fingers Of his left hand into some
groove or opening in the door-at least
so it appeared to the inspector, though
he could not tell exactly what the man
was doing.
Suddenly, with a hoarse cry, the
stranger fell back several PAGES, threw
up his hands, and in thick, gutteral
voice one word fell from him:
"Gonev'
As the black bearded man stood in the
center Of the room he grasped the brass
knob Of the bedstead with one hand to
steady himself. Inspector Briggs had
now the full light from the street lamp
thrown ON half his face lingering his
revolver, he opened the cupboard door
noiselessly, sprang round by the foot OF
the bed, and an iron grip was fixed on
the throat of the man who had solved
the problem Of the locked door.
The stranger uttered hoarse, appau-
ing cry as the police inspector gripped
him, and his .captor had to drop his re-
volver and use both his arms to prevent
his prisoner from falling on the floor.
He pushed him toward the bed and
tried to place him upon it, but the mans
body felt like lead, and the inspector
could only throw the upper part of the
body ON the side of the bed and then
grip him by the legs and lay him on the
bed. He knew the man was in fit,
powerless to offer any active resistance.
A knock at the door of the room star
tied him.
"Shove the door back into its place, "
cried Detective Goringe.
Leaving the bed, Briggs pushed the
door back, and a moment afterward it
was opened from the outside, and the
detective stood in the doorway, a lighted
candle in his hand.
1.-THE fellow has gone off in some sort
of fit, " said Briggs, great drops of sweat
falling from his brow.
