forced to speak OF what he knew.
Allanby had had such an exciting evening that he
was not disposed TO go to bed. as he was quite sure
he could not sleep. so he sat down under the gaslight
and took the papers out OF his pocket, that tho
strange man had dropped on the roof.
He glanced over them list!sssly. hardly hoping that
they would reveal anything OF importance, ana YET
the strange man must have valued them highly or
he would not have gone 10 the trouble OF returning TO
look for them.
The first Of tho papers he examined were letters
penned in a female hand, worded with q nne disregard
for tho rules Of grammar, but breathing a very pas
sionate spirit. He read only q few lines to satisfy
himself as to their contents
There were a number of bills and dunning letters
from tradesmen, and then a fragment OF paper that
bore only a few lines of writing, but which caused
him TO jump up with an exclamation of surprise and
alarm.
Certainly no knew that angular hand, a woman's
writing. He examined 1t keenly and with a beating
heart under the gaslight. Then he went over to his
desk and took out q package Of letters. and, select
Ing one. opened It and compared the writing with
that Of the scrap of paper.
They were both written by the same hand; It did
not seem possible that he could be mistaken.
"It nothing prevents I shall be with you at . o'clock
was what was written on the scrap Of paper. That
was all, but It was enough TO send a shuddsr over
him. 1t could only have been written by Stella
Festherstone!

In his pocket.
So she had visited selten the night OF the tragedy!
What was to be done now? His own troubles
sank into nothingness when he Thought Of the dan
ger that threatened her. She must be warned. Navy
he could understand her emotion that morning
when he had spoken OF selten's death.
The bitterness I've might have felt because Of he-
connection with p man Ike selten lost Its sting
when he considered the danger that threatened her.

was guilty of the crime. and he alone.
All manner OF desperate projects revolveu In his

Mrs. Walker lived in some mysterious region in the

her up would be to ring the front door bell which
communicated with the room. This he did with such
energy that the whole house seemed TO be Allied with
jangl!ng sounds. Then he stepped back into the hall
and waited for results.
Presently he heard a pufiang sound. and a white
