NAIHY was called by such a nonsensical name
Wv l never knew until 1n.r master took me out
to The Willows Miss Kathrynes country
home, one day last
The darling! What is his name?" she asked,
smoothing my coat and pattng me on the head with
her soft hand
To-day laughed Mr.. Ned
"Toddy Toddyl How perfectly ridculousl Has

snapped his fingers to attract my notice.
Just to show that had dog-sense which

One felt a town pride in 'de lodge
no matter how mysterious it's power
or how sharply it may have fixed its
talons in the labor situation among
the cooks. Prouder than any was l
in the particular cook of this narra
ton. She was a symphony in blacks
and puppies, as became the dignity OF
her position and her girth. On her
head was hat filled with violets like
the Easter window of city florist
Her flowing skirts filled the carriage
in which she rode in state On her
hands were black mits of lace, half
way down the fingers; over her face a
white veil, tied with purple ribbons

in the art of putting a humble wit
ness at his ease, and very soon, in
the privacy. of Godfrey Staunton's s
abandoned room, he had extracted all
that the porter had to tell. The ViSi-
tor of the night before was not "a
gentleman, neither was he a working
man. He was simply what the porter
described as looking
chap man of fifty, beard grizzled,
pale face, quietly dressed. He seemed
himself to be agitated. The porter
had observed his hand trembling
when he had held out the note. God
frey Staunton had crammed the note
into his pocket StauntCn had not
shaken hands with the man in the
hall. They had exchanged a few
sentences, of which the porter had
only distinguished the one word
time" Then they had hurried off in
the manner described. 1t was just
half-past ten by the hall clock.
Let me see," said Holmes, seating
himself on Staunton's bed. You are
the day porter, are you not?'
Eyes, sir, L go off duty at eleven. :"
THE night porter saw nothing, I
suppose ?"
mo, sir one theatre party came in
late. No one else"
Were you on duty all day yester-
day."
"Yes, sir
Did you take any message to Mr..
Staunton ?"
Yes, sir, one telegram"
"Ah that's interesting. What
o'clock was this?'
About six
Where was Mr.. Staunton when he
received it ?"

a word or two with Godfrey before
he turned in. He seemed to me to
be pale and bothered. l asked him
what was the matter. He said he was
all right-just a touch of headache.
/ bade him goodnight and left him.
Half an hour later, the porter tells me
that a rough-lookfnG man with a
beard called with a note for Godfrey.
He had not gone to bed, and the note
was taken to his room. Godfrey read

narrative.
What did you do?" he asked.

anything had been heard of him there.
