But had no idea that it was for any

gathering"
"Dressed this way?

her eyes followed. Certainly Mrs. JEFF

company. AS Miss Tuttle realized the

81 did not notice. She often wore
black. 1t became her. My sister was
eccentric"
Worse, worse than useless. Some
slips cannot be explained away. Miss
Tuttle seemed to realize that this was
one Of them, for she paused abruptly,
with the words half finished on her
tongue. Yet her attitude commanded
respect, and for one was ready to ac-
cord it to her.
Certainly such woman was not to
be seen every day, and if her replies
lacked candOr, there was nobility in
her presence which gave the lie to any
doubt. At least, that was the effect
she produced on me. Whether or not
her interrogation shared my feeling
could not so readily determine for his
attention as well as mine was sudden
ly diverted by the cry which now es-
capped her lips.
Her watch! Where is her watch?
It is gone! l saw it on her breast, and
It's gone. 1t hung just-just where
"Waitw cried one of the men who
had been peering about the floor. "Is
this it?''
He held aloft small object blazing
with jewels.
"Yes," she gasped, trying to take it.
But the officer gave it to the captain
instead.
''It must have slipped from her as
she FELL" remarked the latter, after a
cursory examination Of the glittering
trinket. "Fhe pin by which she attach
ed it to her dress must have been inse-
curely fastened" Then quickly and
with sharp look at Miss Tuttle, do
you know if this was considered an
accurate timepiece?"
Eyes. Why do you ask? Is it,

which were fixed and set but from
those Of the woman who crouched
among u.s. Did he catch this express
sion of sorrow from one of whose pres
ence he as yet had given no token of
recognizing? He did not seem to. His
eye was on the captain, who was slow
ly reading, by the light Of a lantern
held in detectives hand, the almost
illegible words which Mr. Jeffrey had
just said were his wife's last commu-
nication.
Will they seem as pathetic to the eye
as they did to She ear in that room of
awesome memories and present death ?
| I find that ] do not love you as I
thought I did. j cannot live, knowing this
to be so. 1 pray God that you may for
give me. VERONICA.
A gasp from the figure in the corner;
then silence. We were glad to hear
the captains voice again.
"A womans heart is q great mys-
terry" he remarked, with short glance
at Mr.. Jeffrey.
1t was sentiment we could all echo
for he to whom she had alluded in
these few lines as one she could not

was apparent to all. IF ever the heart
spoke in human face it spoke in that

but few hours previous had been the
envy Of all the fashionable young wo-
men in Washington. / found it hard
to fix my attention on the next ques-
ton, interesting and valuable as every
small detail was likely to prove in
case my theory Of this crime should
ever come to be looked on as the true
one.
"How came you to search here for
the wife who had written you this
vague and far from satisfactory fare
well? l see no hint in these lines Of
the place where she intended to take
her life"
"No! Nov' Even this strong man
shrank from this idea and showed a
very natural recoil as his glances flew
about the i'll omened room and finally
rested on the fireside over which so re-
pellent a mystery hung in impene-
trable shadow "She said nothing Of
her Intentions; nothing! But the man
who came for me told me where she
was to be found. He was waiting at
the door of my house. He had been on
search for me up and down the town.
We met on the stoop."
The captain accepted this explana-
ton without cavil. l was glad he did.
But to me the affair showed inconsist-
encies which 1 secretly felt it to be my
especial duty to unravel.
Morris tribune., 1904-05-21
The beautiful head Of the woman be-

moment"
The beautiful head Of the woman be-
fore US shook involuntarily, but her
lips made no protest. l doubt if she
possessed the power Of speech at that
moment. \ change, subtle, but quite
perceptible, had taken place in her
emotions ut mention of her sisters
husband. and. though she exerted her
! self to remain calm, the effort seemed
| too much for her strength. Anxious
! to hide this evidence Of weakness, she
rose impetuously, and then we saw
| how tall she was. how the long lines
Of her cloak became her and what a
glorious creature she was altogether.
"It will kill him." she groaned in
deep inward voice. Then, with GER
tain forced haste and in a tone of sur
prise which to my ear had not quite
natural ring she called aloud on her
who could no longer either listen or an
swer:
"Oh, Veronica, Veronica What cause
had you for death? And why do we
find you lying here in a spot you SO
feared and detested?"
Don't you know?' insinuated the
captain, with mild persuasiveness,
such as he was seldom heard to use.
''DO you mean that you cannot account
for your sisters violent end, you, who
have lived with her-or so | have been
told-ever since her marriage with Mr..
Jefrey?"
"Yes''
Keen and clear the word rang out,
fierce in it's keenness and almost too
clear to be in keeping with the half
choked tones with which she added:
Il know that she was not happy, that
she never has been happy since the
shadow which this room suggests fell
upon her marriage. But how could
80 much as dream that her dread of
the past or her fear Of the future
would drive her to suicide, and in this
place OF all places! Had l done So
had imagined in the least degree that
she was affected to this extent-do you
think that | would have left her for
one instant alone? None of us knew
that she contemplated death. She had
no appearance of it; she laughed when
r.
What had she been about to say?
The captain seemed to wonder, and
after waiting in vain for the compile
ton of her sentence, he quietly sug-
gested:
you have not finished what you had
to say, Miss Tuttle."
She started and seemed to come back
from some remote region of thought
into which she had wandered. 81 don't

heartbroken sigh. "Poor Veronica
Wretched Veronica! How shall l ever
tell him? How, how can we ever pre-
pare him?'
The captain took advantage of this
reference to Mr.. Jeffrey to ask where
that gentleman was. The young lady
did not seem eager to reply, but when
pressed, answered, though somewhat
mechanically. that it was impossible
for her to say; Mr.. Jeffrey had many
friends, with any one of whom he
might be enjoying social evening.
But it is far past midnight now,"
remarked the captain. "Is he in the
habit of remaining out lateW
Sometimes she family admitted.
'"Two or three times since his marriage
he has been out till l."
Were there other causes for the
young brides evident disappointment
and misery besides the one intimated
There certainly was some excuse for
thinking so.
Possibly some one of us may have
shown his doubts in this regard, for
the woman before us suddenly broke
forth with this vehement assertion:
'Mr. Jeffrey was loving husband
to my sister-a very loving husband"
she emphasized. Then, growing des-
perately pale, she added, 81 have never
known better man." and stopped.
Some hidden anguish in this cry,
some self consciousness in this pause.
suggested to me a possibility which
was glad to see ignored by the captain
in his next question.
when did you see your sister last ?"
he asked. Were you at home when
she left her husbands house?"
"Alas!" she murmured Then, see
ing that more direct answer was ex-
pected Of her, she added with as little
appearance Of effort as possible: Il
was at home, and heard her go out.
