going to precs, the most dihgent in
ouiries have been made by our own
representatives as to the identity OF the
murdered woman Teresina Cardi, 1t

after midnight and was seen talking to
a gentleman in evening dress or the
pavement in front of the house.
THE police hope very shortly to be
able to discover the identity OF this
mysterious individual. when doubtless
further light will be thrown upon the
tragedy"
Good heavens" said Godfrey.

the evening papers. He handed them
to his master, who made as though he
would place them on one side as being
irrelevant to the matter at issue, when
Sir Vivian stopped him.
.One moment" he said. Before you
go, Griffin, let us make sure that there
is no reference in the evening papers
to the crime. Will you look or
shall II"
In answer Godfrey opened the first
paper. 1t was as well that he did so,
for on the middle page was this an
nouncement in large type:
TERRIBLE MURDER OF A GIRL!
REVOLVING DETAILS.
Il thought as much" said the police
officer in a tons Of bitter disappoint-
ment. Just my luck again. I wa in
hopes of being able to put them on the
scent, but it seems that they have
found it out without me. Might l be
SO bold, sir to ask what it says?"
II will read the account" said God
frey.
Sat an early hour this morning It
"a reported to the authorities at
Scotland Yard that a murder of an I'M
usual nature had been committed in
the vicinity of the Tottenham Court
road. The victim is an Italian woman,
known as Teresina Cardi, an artists
model, who, it is stated has been liv-
ing in the house In Burford-street, in
which her body vas discovered, for up
wards of a fortnight. 1t might be men,
toned that the house is let out in
flats, the occupants being in the main
Of foreign nationality. The girl her
self was of a reserved disposition, and
did not associate with the other tenants
Of the building. She was last seen
alive at seven o'clock on the evening
of Thursday, when she was observed
descending the stairs dressed for going
out. The hour of her return is not
known, nor was her absence remarked
on Friday. Early on Saturday morn
ing, however, the occupant of a neigh
boring room, a German cabinet max
er, named Otto Grunther, noticed a
small stream of dark red fluid under the
door. His suspicious being aroused, he
informed the owner of the house Of
what he had seen, who called in the
assistance of the policeman on the beat.
Together they assembled to the room in
question to find that the door was Sc
curely locked. Their knocks having
elected no response, a key was obtain
ed and the door opened. On entering
the room it was discovered that the
woman was lying dead upon the floor
between the table and the door. Her
throat was cut and she had been stab
bed in several places. More horrible
still her hands had been severed at the
wrists and were missing. Though the
police are naturally reticent as to the
matter, we are led to believe they have
not succeeded in finding a clue. Need
less to say the revolving crime has
caused a great sensation in the neigh
bourhood."

he had once more consulted the paper

night, and in the madness of his Jeal-

When he wrapped up the horrible

him. He saluted Sir Vivian with the
deepest %servility. Godfrey respectfully,
and Victor Fensden gooG~-naturedly, as
if the latter, not being a landowners
in the district was not entitled to any
thing more than a nod.
I'VE have sent for you, Gifin," said
Sir Vivian, in order to inform you
that a serious crime has been commit
ted, not in this n~eighborhood, but in
London"
"a good many serious crimes happen
there every day, Sir Vivian" remark
ed the otncial. May l ask the nature
of this particular one?"
Nothing sort of murderi" Sir Wv
ian replied; "and as Mr.. Henderson
here has been brought into it we have
adopted the course of sencing Tor you
at once in order that you may acquai1lt
the proper authorities"
"a very proper proceeding, sir, [ have
no doubt" said the official diving his
hand into his pocket and producing
a pencil and an pocket
book. Il shall be glad, sir, if you will
give me the particulars"
For the third time that afternoon
Godfrey told his story, while the Off
Ger made notes. By the time the con-
tents of the box were shown to him
the mans interest was thorough arous-
ed. 1t had always been his ambition
to be mixed up in some big affair, and
now his chance had come. That being
so he was resolved to make the most
of it.
There can be no doubt, sir" he said,
addressing Sir Vivian, that it is likely
to be a very serious matter. So far rs
| can understand the disappearance OF
the woman has not been noticed, nor
has her body been discovered. / will
report the facts of the case TO Scotland
Yard at once, and in the meantime l
will take possession of this box and its
contents. So far as l can see at pres
ent it doesn't look as If it should be
very difficult to lay our hands upon
the murderer"
In that case, | suppose your opinion
tallies with ours said Fensden, who
had just started another cigarette. You
suspect the Neapolitan lover"
Il do, sir" the man replied with dig
nifty, as If his suspicious were not
things to be treated lightly. 81 only
wish l had the conducting of this case
throughout. But, there, l suppose, it
will go elsewhere and others will get
the credit of the job. There is nothing
else you wish to see me about, l sup
pose, g~entlemen?'
Il think not said Godfrey. But I
should be glad If you would let US
know all that goes on. As / have told
you, the poor girl vas an old friend,
and her cruel death is naturally a great
blow to me-"
Il will let you know as soon as I hear
anything" the man replied. Il shall
telegraph to Scotland Yard as soon as I
get back to the station, and I expect
they will be On the move within the
hour. Let me see that l have got the
name and address right. sir. Teresina
Cardi, No. 16 Burford street, Tottenham
Court road. That is correct. I sup
poser.
Quite correct" said Godfrey. TT is

ure, leaving the others TO discuss the
matter and to endeavor TO come TO
some understanding about it. AT last.
when there was nothing further to be
said, Godfrey proposed that they should
go in search OF the ladies. He had
scarcely opened the door Of the studio,
however, when there vas the sound OF
a heavy fall. Turning round. he dis
covered that Victor Fensden had fallen
in a dead faint upon the floor.

before Godfrey could answer. THE
mar in Naples, the lover who tried to
assassinate you. He is the man, or 1
am much mistaken. We have the best
of reasons for knowing that he was in
love with her and that ne would not be
likely to stop at murder. If he would
have killed you, why should he not
have killed her? You told me up
stairs, when we were speaking of her
distress, that the street was occupied
by foreigners; what is more likely.
therefore, than that he should have
lived there too. Possibly, and very
probably, he was her husband"
But she told me her husband was
dead" Godfrey asserted.
"She may have had some reason for
saying So" Fensden replied. There
are a hundred theories to account for
her words. 1t is as likely as not that
she did not want you to see him. He
is a N~eapolitan. For ali we know to
the contrary he may be an anarchist,
n in hiding. She might have been
afraid that if you saw him it would
lead to his arrest"
There certainly seems a good deal

said Sir Vivian; "but the best course
for you to adopt appears clear to me.
You must at once communicate to the
police and cause inquiries to be made.
l have seen 40 mention in the papers
of a woman's body having been found
under such circumstances. The dis
covery of a body so mutilated would
have been certain to have attracted a
considerable amount of public atten-
ton"
Il think you are right" said Godfrey,
after a moments hesitation. I'm the
meantime what are we to do with these
poor relics?"
They must be handed over to the no
lice, said Sir Vivian. ct is only
through them that we can hope to I'M
ravel the mystery. II I were you |

once and give them into his charge"
Then he added, kindly: Il cannot tell
you how sorry l am, Godfrey, for your
trouble. 1t must be a terrible blow to
you"
mo one can tell what a blow it is,
Sir Vivian" said Godfrey in a husky
voice. "A more cruel murder has new
er stained the annals of crime. The
girl was an honest, kindly creature.
and that she should have met her death
in this manner shocks me inexpressIbly.
If any reward a secure the arrest of
the murderer l will gladly pay it. No
effort on my part shall be wanting to
bring him to justice"
You may be sure that he is a cum
ming fellow" said Fensden, land that
his plans are deeply laid. For my own
part. If l were you | should place it
in the hands of Scotland Yard and pa
tiently await the result. You may be
quite sure that they will do all in their
power, and if they cannot bring about
his arrest nobody else will be able to
do So"
Even if they do not succeed in cap
turing him / should not abandon the

cordingly set off together for Egypt and
the East, intending to be away about
a year. AT the same time, it must
be borne in mind, the girl and her
mother had returned to Italy. While
we were at Luxor, l received a letter
from her forwarding me her address in
Naples. in case 1 might desire to COM
municate with her concerning future
work. Some three weeks later my moth
er wal taken i'll, and [ was telegraphed
i for to come home at once. l left Port
Said in a mail steamer, intending totake
the overland express from Naples to
England. Having some hours to spend
be no harm in my discovering the
mother and daughter. / did so; we
dined together at a small restaurant
and went on to the Opera after
wards"
you did not tell me that" said
Fensden quickly.
81 did not deem it necessary" said
Godfrey. II should have done so when
we came to discuss the matter at great
er length. But to continue my story.
After the Opera | escorted them back
to their dwelling, but i did not enter.
On my way to my hotel afterwards, l
was nearly stabbed by a lover of my
former model, a man, so she had in
formed me, who was extremely jealous
of anyone who spoke to her. Fortu-
nately for me, he did not succeed in
his attempt. l knocked him down, and
took his dagger from him."
AS he said this, he took the small
poniard, with which the Italian had
attempted his life, from a drawer, and
handed it to the gentleman.
Next morning l left Naples, to find
on reaching England, that my mother
was decidedly letter, and l need not
have abandoned my tour. Then I met
your daughter, fell in love with her,
and in due course our engagement was
announced. From the moment | said
goodbye to her in Naples, until last
Thursday night, l had neither seen nor
heard anything Of or from my former
model"
"You saw her on Thursday night?"
repeated the old gentleman. "In that
case she must have returned to Eng
land?"
YES" Godfrey replied. "It was after
the theatre, and when | had seen Lady
Devereux and Molly to their carriage.

search of a cab to take me back to my
hotel, when / met her. She recognized
me at once. and informed me that her
mother was dead, that she had mar
ried, she did MOI say to whom, and that
her husband was also dead. Though
she seemed in great distress for reasons
of her own she would not let me help
her. Feeling that she ought not I be

and having once more vainly endeav-
cured to induce her to let me help her,

As he said this. he crossed to tAe
table on which the box had been plac-
ed, and once more removed the lid and
paper.
