was to emphasize rather than detract
 from the extreme desolafion of the great room. The, settle was a fixture, as afterward found, and was almost the only article of furniture to be seen on the wide expanse of uncarpeted
 floor. There was table or two in hid ing somewhere amid the shadows at the other end from where stood, and possibly some kind of stool or settee, but the general impression made upon me was that of completely disman- tied place given over to moth and rust.
 The elegance of the heavily succeed ceiling, admitted to be one of the finest specimens of its kind in Washington, as we'll as the richness of the carvings ornamenting the mantel of Italian marble rising above the accursed hearthstone, only served to make more evident the extreme neglect into which the rest of the room had sunk. Being anything but anxious to subject myself further to its unhappy influence and quite convinced that the place was in- deed as empty as it looked, turned to leave when my eyes fell upon some thing so unexpected and so extraordi- nary, seen as 1t was under the inf1u- my mind was necessarily full. that I
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-31

paused, baked in my advance and well nigh uncertain whether I looked upon real thing or on some strange and terrible fantasy of my aroused imagi- I nation.
 A form lay before me, outstretched on that portion of the floor which had hitherto been hidden from me by the half open door-a woman's form, ] which even in that first casual look impressed itself upon me as one of l aerial delicacyi and extreme refine ment; and this form lay as only the dead lie; the dead! And I had been looking at the hearthstone for just such picture! No, not just such a picture, for this woman lay face upper most, and, on the floor beside her was blood .
 A hand had plucked my sleeve It was Hibbard's. Startled by my inn mobility and silence, he had stepped in with quaking members, expecting he hardly knew what. But no sooner did his eyes fall on the prostrate form which held me spellbound than an un- foreseen change took place in him. What had ,unnerved me, restored him to full self possession. Death in this shape was familiar to him. He had no fear of blood. He did not show sur prise at encountering it, but only at the effect it appeared to produce on me-
 "Shot!' was his laconic comment as he bent over the prostrate body. "Shot through the heart! She must have died before she fell.n Hff.f. @.e.
 Shot! Y ".tl
 That was a new experience for this room. No wound had ever before dis figured those who had fallen here, nor had any of the previous victims been found lying on any other spot than the one over which that huge settle kept guard. As these thoughts crossed my mind I instinctively glanced again to- ward the fireplace for what I almost refused to believe lay outstretehed at my feet. When nothing more ap- peared there than that old seat of sin 1ster memory, I experienced a thrill Which poorly prepared me for the cry which I now heard raised by Hubbard.
 Look here! What do you make of this?''
 He was pointing to what, upon closer inspection, proved to be a strip of white satin ribbon running from one of the delicate wrists of the girl before us to the handle of pistol which had fallen not far away from her side. 'Tt looks as if the pistol was attached to her. That is something new in my experience. What do you think it means?"
 Alas, there was but one thing it could mean. The shot to which she had succumbed had been delivered by. herself. This fair and delicate creature was "a suicide.
 But suicide in this place How could we account for that? Had the story
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-31

lad not even been provided 7an, can dles! What, then, was it that I saw glittering on small table at the other end of the room? Surely a candlestick, or, rather, an old fashioned candela- brum with a half burned candle in one of it's sockets. Hastily crossing to 1t, felt of the candle wick. It was quite stiff and hard. But not considering this a satisfactory proof that it had not been lately burning-the tip of the wick soon dries after the flame is blown out-I took out my penknife and attacked the wick at what might be called its root; whereupon found that where the threads had been protected by the wax they were comparatively soft and penetrable.
 The conclusion was obvious. True to my instinct i'll this matter, the wo- man had not lifted her weapon i'll dark ness; this candle had been burning. But here my thoughts received fresh shock. If burning, then by who1a had it since been blown out? Not by her; her wound was too fatally sure for that. The steps taken between tho table where the candelabrum stood and the place where she lay were taken, if taken at all by her, before that shot was fired. Some one elSe-some one whose breath still fingered in the air about me-had extinguished this candle flame after she fell, and the death I looked down upon was not suicide, but Q murder!
 The excitement which this discovery caused to jingle through my every nerve had its birth in the ambitious feeling referred to in the opening paragraph of this narrative. I believed that my long sought for opportunity had come; that with the start given me by the con- iviction just stated I should be en- abled to collect such clews and estab- fish such facts as would lead to the ac- ceptance of this new theory instead of the apparent one of suicide embraced by Hubbard and about to be promul- gated at police headquarters. If so, what a triumph would be mine and what a debt I should owe to the grabbed old gentleman whose seeming ly fantastic fears had first drawn me to this place!
 Realizing the value of the opportu- nity afforded me by the few minutes I was likely to spend alone on this scene of crime, proceeded to my task with that directness and method which 1 had always promised myself should characterize my first success in detec- tive work.
 First, then, for another look at the fair young victim herself! What line
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-31

of this rooms i'll acquired fame acted hypnotically on her, or had she stum- bled upon the open door in front and been glad of any refuge where her misery might find solitary termina- tion? Closely scanning her upturned face, I sought an answer to this ques- ton, and while thus seeking received a fresh shock which did not hesitate to communicate to my now none too sensitive companion.
 Look at these features" I crieds II seem to know them. Do you2" s@T}' ~ He growled out dissent, but stoop- ed at my bidding and gave the pitiful young face a prolonged stare. When he looked up again it was with pug zled contraction of his eyebrows.
 i've certainlyAseen it somewhere" :" he hesitatingly admitted, edging slow ly away toward the door. Perhaps in the papers. Isn't she like"- ir
 "Liker' interrupted. "It is Veroni- ca Moore herself, the owner of this house and she who was married here two weeks since to MT. Jeffrey. Evf- dently her reason was unseated by the tragedy which threw so deep a gloom over her wedding"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-31

There were signs of this wedding on every side. Walls and ceilings had been hung with garlands, and these and around the various doorways. The clock occupying the center of the man. telpiece alone gave evidence of life. It had been wound for the wedding and had not yet run down. Its tick-tick came faint enough, however, through the darkness, as if it, too, had lost heart and would soon lapse into the deadly quiet of it's ghostly surroundings.
 "It's - it's funeral-like," chattered Hubbard.
 He was right; I felt as if were shutting the lid of a coffin when final ly closed the door.
 Our next steps took us into the rear, where we found little to detain us, and then, with certain dread fully justi- fled by the event, we made for the door defined by the two Corinthian columns.
 It was ajar like the rest, and, call me coward or call me fool-I have called Hubbard both, you will remember-I found that it cost me an effort to lay my hand on its mahogany panels. se--anger, if danger there was, lurked here, and while had never known myself to quail before any ordinary antagonist, I, like others of my kind, have no especial fondness for unseen and mysterious perils.
 Hubbard, who up to this point had followed me almost too closely, now accorded me all the room that was nec- essary. 1t was with sense of enter ing alone upon the scene that finally thrust wide the door and crossed the threshold of this redoubtable room where, but two short weeks before, a fresh victim had been added to the list of those who had by some unheard of unimaginablc means found their death within its recesses.
 My first glance showed me little save the ponderous outlines of an old set tie, which jutted from the corner of the fireplace half way out into the room As 1t was seemingly from this seat that the men, who. at various times had been found lying here. had
