who believed the weapon VAS in Dunn
barton's breast when he made his Vi
client entrance to the house.
He therefore regarded Mrs. Dumbar-
ton as the victim of circumstances an
by her appearance and name such
things having weight with one who
scrutinized his kind severely. Coming
into continual contact with men and
women. While stained With crime,
sought to hide their guilt by a SEM
blance OF innocence, he was quick to
perceive, In a thousand petty ways, the
difference in the bearing of one who
was blameless. And seeing and ac-
k~noWled3lng the dangerous closeness

IN her peAalf was more tuliy aroused

And she being innocent, the murder
must have been committed by some one
at present unknown and unsuspected.
The crime had been perpetrated with a
motive, the most probable being tina
of revenge. In the statement of George
Coris regarding the possible wrongs the
deceased had inflicted. and of the VEN

by some outraged husband, lover OF
1ather, fully agreed. No
circurnstance, however. that he had

Within a few hours of his finding in
David Dumbarton's pocket a directed
envelope, the inspector had called at the
address given, a quiet lodging in Es-
sex street, Strand. This establishment
was kept by a retired cook, an ample
breasted, high-colored lady dressed in
frayed black satin. Concerning her late
lodger she a little to tell. Now that
he was dead her curiosity regarding
him became far greater han where he
a lived, his sensational ending en-
downing him with new interest to her
mind. What n knew she readily told.
About a fortnight previously he had
taken a back room on the second floor
Breakfast had peer served him daily
in this apartment, which he seldom left
before dusk, when he went out. He had
apparently come from abroad. but he
had not proved communicative. and had
said little of himself. He received no
visitors, FOR had visitors called. The
landlady was under the impression that
he was poor. He had paid his FIRST
weeks rent, but not the second. she
had never noticed a knife of any kind
in his possession.
