a home for you, but that you will make
my desolate house home for me, by
your presence. Till then, good-by. My
love to both Of you"
This Is most extraordinary" said the
coroner. Can it be that the unhappy
girl had learned about the will, and had
sent poison to the man who would have
done so much for her? What do you
find there, Doctor?'
This last question was addressed to
Dr. Bell, who during the reading of the
letter had not been idle. Assisted by
Preble, he had removed the stamp from
the mouth of the murdered man, and
had placed 1t upon a sheet of paper.
Then he made a second and much more
careful examination Of the body.
There is but one point so far" he re-
piled to the coroner's question. THE
stamp eXhales faint perfume-a most
unusual odor, extremely agreeable. 1t
can be noticed also about the lips of the
dead man.
"Gelonthania," exclaimed the detec-
tive. ut Is a poison discovered-and
named-by a German chemist. who
seems to have known more chemistry
than Greek. He meant the name to sig
Nifty the joy of death.

"Can it be possible" the coroner con-
tinued, "that so good a man as know
your uncle to have been allowed his
brothers widow and her child to suffer
like this?"

old "He never mentioned them to me-"

as follows:

out for yourself that could have sent
no better man to you. He has doubtless
explained-so far as sanyone can explain
1.-THE mystery Of this wretched affair."
I have never received your letters. I
did not know where you were. My last
information was that you and your
mother were in England, and
comfortably provided for. I have
tried to find you, but vainly.
II I could have done so,
you both would have had home with
me. I am childless and alone. and you
would have been thousand times well

resentment, have long repented Of my
behavior in regard to my brothers mar

must come from your mother. not from
me.

He put his arm about the neck Of the
dead. and, with his hands, very gently
forced the Jaws to open.
"Lookv" he cried.
We all pressed forward; and we saw,
upon the tip Of the dead mans tongue,
one Of the large postage stamps of the
Columbian pattern.

a better reason foh it than idle curiosity

A tall young man Had just locked the
street door, and was then engaged in
pulling up the shades. Almost the whole
of the front of the office was glass; and
already there were a hundred people
looking In.
There were not more than half a
dozen persons In the Office besides those
who have been mentioned. Two Of
them were evidently employees. Another
