they both paused before an open
French window which led into a pleas
ant sunny apartment OF no great size.
Before entering, Edith. who had evil
IDENTIFY been considering his last speech,
turned to excuse herself.
"Mr. Gebb." she said, with an air of
great dignity, your words seem to
imply that / know more than l dare
tell. l assure you that such a suspi-
cion Is unjust and unfounded. The in
telligence of Miss Gilmar's death is
terrible and unexpected TO me: and

ever questions you ask me i will an
swer: whatever you desire TO see in
this house / will show you: but in jusr
tice to myself. / must ask you not to
credit me with guiIty knowledge"
MY dear young lady, / am the last
person in the world to do So" said
Gebb, quickly. "A do not for a moment
supposeI that you know anything of
your cousins unhappy deathI disclaim
the sentiments with which you credit
me; and l must admit that there is no
necessity for you to exculpate your
self as you are doing"
Il am not exculpating myself in the
least, rejoined Miss Wedderbu~n,
coldly. "but you detectives seem TO be
SO suspicious that you sec III where
none exists"
Gebb laughed. You have been read
ing detective novels" said he, indul-
gently; believe me, we detectives are
not so black as the novelsts paint us.
But as / said before. this desultory
conversation Is not useful. / would
rather see the Yellow Boudoir."
Edith nodded and led the way into
the house. Gebb followed her through
the sitting room, which faced the ter
race. and down wide passage, on the
wall of which hung many pictures most
ly ancestral portraits. At the end Of
this passage h s guide unlocked door
with a key selected from q bunch
which dangled at her girdle. and threw

the room before her. He did so with
out hesitation.

When they entered. the Boudor had

furniture was cushioned and covered
with yellow silk: the vases and metal

a brazen tripod and chatting dish

lay in the absence OF books. knick-

Edith looked rigidly at the detective,

exciting and interesting game at
Rocky Point yesterday afternoon and
score being to 3.
The "only" Foreman was doing the
honors for the Ponies and was hit hard
enough 10 win the game easily but
these same hits did not come at the
right time.
Danny Friend opposed Foreman and
pitched good ball in all except one
inning. the sixth. when he was up in
the air long enough TO allow the visit
ors TO score three runs.
Providence broke the ice in the third.
Jud Smith opened with hit, went TO
second on a sacrifice by Leahy and
came home on singles by Friend and
Parent. Connor struck out, but Cas-
sidy singled. once more filling the
bases. Davis hit to Shannon and Cas-
sidy was forced at second, retiring the
side.
In the fourth, Stafford bunted and
and turned II into hit by great run
ming. Smoot sacrificed him TO second
and then one OF Fpreman's benders hit
Smith on the elbow. sending him
down to first. Friend was forced at
second, however, when Parent hit to
Shannon and the side was retired.
