Despite the lack Of interest shown
by the officer in Warde's conjectures,
The latter was by no means satisfied
and he took il into his stubborn head
that he would follow up those foot
steps and discover il possible who
was the person that had made then,
and what he had been about. This
unknown had also discovered the
murder, and il seemed to Wardc tina.
he certainly ought to be identified and
made to tell just what he knew about
il.
Relying, therefore. upon the chief
of police for the details of the coro-
ncr's inquest, Warde continued his
Investigations of the tracks.

the task an easy one. but this rather
stimulated his purpose and he plod-
died stubbornly on.
Fifteen minutes more of trnmp-

this apparently aimlcss route of the
unknown would lead him, when he
found himself in the path which made
direct cut through the woods. Here
the Strangers footprints merged
with those made 10y another person.
and took the direction of the city.
II required but moment to sec
that young Wright had made the
tracks leading from the city.
What strange fatality was this
which caused these two mcr to con
tinua!ly cross each Others trail?
Could there be any collision between
item and could they have met where
their footprints crossed? These
were idle questions to ask and the
newspaper man did not undertake to
answer them, but followed tho trail

he came to tine edge of the Eavou

After all. the unknown might have
been one of the habitucS of the

there were so many footprints
around it that he found it difficult to
keep up with the arctics and at last
he was completely bafllcd.
There was no use trying to follow
