The landlady smoothed her apron

gentleman he was. I liked his face.
Well, he came in and had quiet talk
with the lady-a talk that you couldn't
hear an inch outside the room, and
couldn't possibly disturb anybody. Nine.
Raymond has been out once or twice,
but no one else has called on her, and
am sure that nothing she and the

desired his presence as lodger. But

$50 LONG AS SHE LIVES I AM IN
DANGER"

$50 LONG AS SHE LIVES I AM IN
DANGER"
On his return to headquarters from
some business in connection with the
North case Friday morning, a week
after the discovery of the murder, In
spector Applebee found a genuine sur
prise awaiting him.
There is lady in there who has
been waiting to see you for some
time observed one of his assistants,
and Immediately after the inspector
found himself closeted with the identi-
cal lady whose reception of him on
previous occasion had led him to de-
nonnce her to his superior as an idiotic
and unavailable personage-none
other, in fact, than Aunt Comfort
HARDWOOD.
1t is not probable that the good old
lady recognized in Mr.. Applebee the
gentleman whom she supposed to have
been in the gas or water business when
he visited her at Swampscott.
The chaotic condition of her mind
at that time had been no more pro-
nounced than her agitation and ex-
element on the present occasion.
ooh! my dear Mr.. Policeman" said
Aunt Comfort, fastening to open a lit
tie reticule which she carried at her
side, as soon as her eyes fell on the
inspectors portly form. "Oh my dear
Mr.. Policeman-if you are the proper
man-yes, thank you'll have found
the most awful thing in the house,
and, though Mrs. Stackhouse said it
was all nonsense, could not rest till
had brought 1t to you"
''You come from Mr. North's, be-
lieve?" said the inspector. "You were
his sister-in-law?"
Eyes, indeed, sir; poor man! And
to think that he should have such
frightful communications as this sent
to him, and should keep them Sc
cret from everybody in the house
when his own wife's sister-but it is

surveillance was a comparatively easy
task. She had not left the eonfines Of
the North estate, except on the occa-
sion of the funeral, since the discovery
Of her fathers DEATH and for full
report of her conduct for the immediate
present Lamm felt he could safely rely
on the vigilance of Moffett and Mollie
White. But the movements Of Richard
Fetridge were not SO easily followed.
Consequently, John Lamm did not dare
to trust this apparently most impor-
tant task to anybody but himself and
those under his active supervision.
On the Wednesday when he received
Thomas confidence in the Stells. North
affair, Lamm doubled the safeguards
and precautions previously taken to as
sure himself of the integrity Of Richard
Fetridge. Not that he ignored other
possibilities of investigation. Into the
past lives of Stackhouse and North and
Marion he was already instituting the
most careful inquiries; but Fetridge's
career interested him still more. With
that affable good fellowship which made
it possible for him to make friends with
all sorts and conditions of men, he in
simulated himself into the good graces
of Fetridge's clerk, and hearing that
Olsen had predecessor who had been
discharged for taking too much interest
in his employers affairs he hunted up
that man, with what degree of reward
will be hereafter recorded.
He soon discovered that Mr. Fetridge
had ceased to take active interest in
| legal work, that he had but few clients,
and tnat MS cnleI business now seemed
to be to look after the investments OF
his large property. John Lamm made
arrangements to be accurately informed
from day to day of a full list of the
millionaire's Office visitors, especially
of those whom he took into his inner
sanctum, and whose business with him
appeared to be confidential.
1t was in this way that he first became

acy was to be found at the bottom of
the North case, was reasonably sure al
ready of two parties Decentralization
Stackhouse and Richard Fetri6ge.
Whether, there was anybody else con-
cerned he had not yet made up his mind.
The plain yet puzzling charge of Thorn
ton Stackhouse in the letter to the Mois-
sot woman, who seemed to the detec-
tive to have been created for the ex-
the enigma Of her existence, indicated
that Stackhouse himself had reason to
believe her the head and front Of all
offense.
Again and again John Lamm studied
that letter, endeavoring to squeeze out
of it the last drop of possible signifi-
canoe; but the writer had SO we'll chosen
his words, with the evident purpose of
making them unintelligible to third
person, that the detective was suspicious
Of what seemed the logical deductions
therefrom. One thing was certain.
Stackhouse charged Marie Moissot (the
"person unknown" of Mr. Lamm's
notes) with having carried to successful
issue, on the 18th of June, conspiracy
to ruin him, and Mr.. Lamm believed
himself fully possessed of the unfor-
tunate events which had overwhelmed
this man during that day. The discov-
cry of this unique charge of murder
written In red on the wall of Norths
library, he did not forget was not the
only misfortune. The extraordinary
conduct of his wife was quite as Sc
rlous to Stackhouse, not impossibly
more SO than this implied accusation.
To be sure, these two conspicuous sacts
seemed to be part and parcel Of one
larger fact, and perhaps appeared to Mr..
Stackhouses mind as une thing; but
the detective was altogether too eau
tious not to have seen that the letter
might refer to either one of these calami-
| ties. The problem in John Lamm's
| mind, therefore, stood in this wise:
| @. Does Mr.. Stackhouse hold Marie
Moissot responsible for duplicating him
in the mtrder of his partner or in en-
differing his domestic relations?
@. If the former were his belief, would
he not have acquainted me with the
fact?
And as Mr.. Lamm could not help an
swering the latter question in the af-
firmative, he was still reasonably sure
| that there was no evidence in his pos
session of third party to the great
conspiracy" which was so puzzling
him.
Whence it seemed to be plain that his
present duty was to center his eff
forts upon the two people whom he sus-
| pected-to investigate their doings
thoroughly, to watch both of them with
all possible vigilance.
To keep Marion Stackhouse under

have many friends to call on her in the
evening, and chatter, chatter, giggle,
giggle for hours together?'
The landlady smiled and shook her
head. Lamm resumed, in very friend
ly, off-hand fashion:
"You see, ma'am, should be quite
near her room il concluded to come
here, and as I'm quiet man and go
to bed early, I don't want to be kept

just Ike him! He was SO thoughtful

just like him! He was so thoughtful
of everybody except himself. -
She had already excitedly thrust in
the inspectors hand an envelope, Of
which the seal was broken.
A glance showed him that it was
pestmarked Boston, May TO-" Of this
same year, and that it was without
any distinctive mark to betray it's au-
tiiorship. 1t was superscribed in a
feminine hand, Paul North, Esq,
Marlboro Street, Boston, Mass" The
envelope contained sheet of COM
mon notepaper, on which was written
in the same chirography as that of the
superscription, the following:
my Dear Sir: Pardon the freedom of
complete stranger, but believe in me you
have a well-wisher. 1t is l who should
warn you against trusting fortune or char
acter in the hands of Mr. Albert Runyon.
At least before doing SO, permit that l adj
wise you to investigate the history of his
past. He is a serpent in the grass, who
has ruined Systematically everybody who
in him confided, and will ruin you in the
same way I beg you will not treat this
warning lightly, for If you disregard 1t
YOU will surely come to grief sooner or
later, and will remember when it is too
late, my good advice. A word to the wise
is sufficient.
IA FRIEND"
The inspector read this letter
through twice very carefully before ne
uttered word. Who was Albert Run
yon?
Mr.. Applebee was sure that he had
hofN
WELL" said the inspector, you did
very right to bring this to me- Where
did you find it?"
Aunt Comfort explained after a deal
of circumlocution, which it is unnec-
essary to reproduce. that she had ac-
c!dentally come across it in examining
some papers of her late brothers n-law,
which until recently had reposed un-
der lock and key in lis writing desk
at the Marlboro street house.
The inspector quieted her agitation
by assuring her that she had done her
full duty in Immediately referring this
matter to the police, and that they
would take steps to investigate it.
| AS soon as Miss HARDWOOD had gone
the ms. ector showed the letter to his
chief.
This is one of that kind of matters
in which the newspapers are of the

amounts to anything at all, which is
doubtful. By the way, did you ask
