why, it's this way Mr. Manton. The
Sempiternal is attending to business all
the time. Now, it happens curiously
enough, that Ames didn't have a living
relative or kin except Selden, and that
Selden Is In the same sort Of lonely class
all by himself. Hence, II Selden is found
guilty Of Ames's murder, the courts
wouldn't enforce his claim as beneficiary,
and we might have a show TO save the
money. So, on the quiet, just az you

The visitor pondered little.
Put yourself in his place, sir he sug-
gested, -and see II you wouldn't work II
out something after this common sense
fashion. Since the house stands apart,
since Selden was in the front room, down
stairs, and the servants in the rear. and, as
II has been proved, all the windows on that
floor were bolted, since the dust on the roof
Of the veranda and the sill lay undisturbed,
showing no trace Of footsteps, the assassin

An
Intentional Slip

Examination Of the garden, the veranda
roof, The window sill failed 10 show a trace
Of footsteps. Selden had been in the house;
no one else apparently, had been there
excepting the servants, whose continuous
presence in the pantries and Kitchen vas
prove d; he thus was not only the one hav-
ing motive, but also the one most aoces-
sible.
he offered no explanation or accusation,
though vehemently asserting his innocence &.
In the end, as circumstances kept acoumu-
lating against him, he was arrested. The
Grand Jury found a true bill for murder
in the first degree; and few in town doubted
either his guilt or ultimate conviction.
In this minority, however, was a very
earnest, imprisoned young woman, Miss
Grace Wainwright She lost no time In
calling on her old friend Judge Josiah
Marcellus and avowing her love for aad
her faith in the accused man.
He was the dearest and best fellow on
earth. His innocence should shine forth
clearer than day. That unknown wretch
who had plotted to supplement one deadly
crime with another even moro atrooious
must be brought to justice. Oh, would he
not help her?
Such fervor, such trust, stimulated the
Judge to an interest more personal than
professional, and even Abe Cronldte as he
spoke showed a glimmer Of admiration on
his usually stolid face.
IF Il understand what you said last miss, ,
the detective began. Il must tell you that
your intuition and my judgment have
reached a common conclusion. Some one
has plotted against Selden.
TO my mind motive should rather
be deducted from character than from cir
cumstance, and ava 10, Is an incredible
trait to derive from all / can learn about
Selden. Deciding, then, that the motive
Of the murder was TO bring about Selden' 3
destruction, our inquiry shifts to the motive
Of this animosity against your friend.
Here a study Of character falls to help
US, for the murderer IL unknown; but per-
haps we can work up 70 him through deduc-
tons from his deeds.
we must assume, think, that there
was no mere coincidence in the similarity
Of the bullet which killed Ames to those
found In Selden's room. The assassin. who
wanted TO fix the guilt upon Selden, sought
to do so through using Selden's weapon.
But. you may ask. why did he not, then.
leave the revolver in the library? Ali
why not, indeed? Because, my dear young
lady, In the preparation Of crime, human
nature is it's own worst enemy. At the
supreme moment the criminal Is likely to
do automatically the precise thing he
shouldn't have done.
