For five weeks the nurse never left
the house. and for five weeks Inspec-
tor Hope brought all his luck, logic
and acumen to bear on the last muir
der case, but he made no progress.
He was in despair, but still at work,
feeling that his reputation was at
stake, when a third mysterious muir
der was committed. The son of the
banker who was in law had received
as a client one afternoon a young and
handsome woman wearing a half veil.
She was in his Office an hour. During
the first half hour two people saw her
there. No one knew when she depart
ed, but when a caller opened the door
the young lawyer was found breathing
his last. He had been stabbed as his
father and brother had been, and by
the same dagger and the same hand.
Again the murderess had disappeared
and left no trace.
AS a member of the family almost. the
nurse heard great deal of talk about the
strange murders, and seemed interested to
an extent She knew how fervently the
inspector desired to make a capture, ana
was kind enough to hope that he would
succeed. Two days after the murder of
the lawyer Mrs. Hope and the nurse went
to the country for a two months stay
and the Inspector set to work as he never
had before. Spurred by the rewards offer
ed thousand detectives and constables
were on the lookout for the woman with
brown eyes When six weeks had passed
anu tlS44 al NC1 AleAu bSB4 70 COOL 4ilSpHC-
tor Hope received word that his wife's
nurse was strangely missing He vent
down to the farm house and found that
such was the case. She had simply walk
ed out of the house in the evening and
been swallowed up in the darkness.
The inspector sat down and thought for
an hour. Then he rose up and made a
search of the baggage the woman had left
behind One simple thing betrayed the
whole case to him On a blotting pad he
found in her trunk was the address of the
lawyer as she had blotted the envelope
She had written to make an appointment
and she was the murderess Her hand
had struck down the father and his two
sons Fer year the inspector hunted
eyes, and failing to ind the slightest
clue he resigned from the Yard and re-
tired to private life.-(Copyright, 1906 by
T. c. McClure.)

man to work out. and his wife had a
partial stroke of paralysis and en-
gagged d young woman to act as nurse
and companion. She had advertised,
and in answer came a stranger who
knew a good deal about nursing, and
who brought the very best of charac-
tiers. Inspector Hope saw and talked
with her himself, and was pleased to
find her intelligent and anxious to
please. She freely answered all ques-
lions. and took the place on probation
The inspector was to write to certain
parties in regard to her recommends.
When two weeks had passed she asked
if he had written. He had not. His
wife was so we'll pleased with her
nurse that he decided to take chances.
He was q student of human charac-
ter, and he knew an honest man or
woman when he saw one.

LAWYERS SAY IT WILL De HARD
TO FRAME A coNsTlTU.
TioNAL BILL.
CONGRESS WILL INVESTIGATE
INQUIRY WIDE IN SCOPE Is
PLANNED BY THE AD.
yMlNlsTRAT'oN.

Washington, Nov 8. - President
Roosevelt in his message to congress
will recommend supervision Of the in
surance companies. He will make
strong recommendations as the result
of the disclosures made in the insur-
ance investigation in New York. The
president will endeavor to secure
some legislation on this subject, but
he will meet with strong opposition, as
many leading lawyers declare it will
be difficult to frame a measure that
is declared that the only way in which
the government can supervise the in
surance business is to declare it inter-
state commerce.
A National Investigation.
New York, Nov. There is to be
a national investigation of the insur-
ance business this winter, according
to well-authent;cated reports that has
reached this city. It is said that not
only is such step contemplated by
the administration, but that the de-
tails have already been arranged.
President Roosevelt, it is known,
has taken deep interest in the dis
closuhes made before the Armstrong
committee, and he is said to be the
prime mover in the plan for nation
al investigation. In the last week
many conferences have been held in
Washington regarding the proposed
inquiry, and it is now definitely de-
cided that such an investigation shall
be made.
According to reports from undoubt-
ed authority, special committee is to
be appointed soon after congress con-
veaes. 1t has already been decided
who shall introduce the resolution in
the house of representatives and in
the senate, but the names of the mem
bers are carefully guarded. Owing to
the fact that information regarding
tie presidents plans leak out in ad-
vance of an official announcement, it
is regarded as not improbable that the
report will be denied.
Scope to be Wide.
The congressional committee is to
act Independently, not taking into con-
sideration the work Of the Armstrong
committee of the New York legisla-
ture, which probably will have finished
it's sittings before the matter is
brought before congress. The nation.
al investigation naturally will be much
wider in it's scope than that carried on
by the Armstrong committee. Its pur.
poses, it is believed. will be to obtain
information on which to base congress.
sional measures calculated to bring
about federal supervision of insurance
in which the president is deeply inter
ested.
