ME. 1T Duroin ana the rest nao taken
into account these filings. they must
have come to very much the same con-
clusion. but either they had overlooked
them I'm their search about the place
or, having noted them, regarded them
as a clew leading nowhere.
But for me they led the way to a
very definite inquiry. Asking to see
the rings Mrs. Jeffrey had left behind
her on the night she went for the last
time to the Moore house, looked them
carefully over and found that none of
them showed the least mark of the
file. This strengthened my theory. and
I proceeded to take my next step with
increased confidence. It seemed an
easy one. but proved unexpectedly diff
flcult Ny desire was to ascertain
whether she had worn previous to her
marriage any rings which had not
been seen on her finger since. and 1t
took me one whole week TO establish
the fact that she had.
But that fact once learned, the way
cleared before me. Allowing my fam
cy full rein, pictured to myself her
anxious figure standing alone in that
old ring from her dainty finger Then
i asked myself what she would be
likely to do with this ring after dis
engaging It from her hand? Would
she keep It? Perhaps. But, IL 30. why
could 1t not be found? None such had
been discovered among her effects.
Or had she thrown it away, and IL 80,
where? The vision Of her which i
had just seen In my minds eye came
out with q clearness at this, which
struck me as providential. could
discern as plainly as IL l had been a
part of the scene the white clad form
of the bride bending toward the light
which came In sparsely through the
half open shutter she had loosened for
this task This was the shutter which
had never again been fastened and
whose restless blowing to and fro had
first led attention to this house and
the crime it might otherwise have con-
cealed indefinitely. Had some glimpse
of the rank grass growing underneath
this window lured her eye and led her
to cast away the ring which she had no
longer any right to keep? 1t would be
like a woman to yield to such an i'm
pulse, and on the strength of the posi-
bility l decided to search this small
plot for what 1t might very reasonably
conceal

lost in the grass plot of house where

night That they might win the sup

before the owner Of this house, who
lived opposite. could interfere. I ad
vised them to start Mt the fence in

earnestly to Mr.. jeffrey, and secondly
at the carriage door just before the
bridal party rode away. 1t was Mrs.
Jeffrey who was talking to him then,
and l wondered to see him look so
pleased when everybody in and about
the house was pale as ashes"
do you know the name OF that
boy?" l carelessly inquired.
His name? Oh, no. He is one of
Raucher's waiters-the curly haired
one. You see him everywhere, but
don't know his name. Do you fatter

when the interview was closed and /
went away i have no doubt she con-

had stated were new to me. and, re-
peating my former method. was al
ready busy arranging them IN my
mind. Witness the result:
First.-The ceremony of marriage
between Francis Jeffrey and Veronica
Moore was fully three-quarters of an
hour late.
Second.-This was owing to the ca
price of the bride. who would not have
any one in the room with her, not even
her maid
Third.-The bridal bouquet did not
figure in the ceremony. In the furry
of the moment 1t was forgotten or pur.
poseiy left behind by the bride. Az
this bouquet was undoubtedly the gift

CHAPTER XVIII.

- DID some tall thinking that night.
1 remembered that this man had
held some conversation with the
Jeffreys at their carriage door
previous to their departure from the
Moore house, and found myself COM
PEELED to believe that only a matter Of
Importance to themselves as well as
to him would have detained them at
such a minute. Oh, that Tampa were
not so far OF or that had happened
on this clew earlier! But Tampa was
at that moment a far prospect for me-
and / could only reason from such
facts as had been able to collect in
Washington.
Fixing my mind now on Mrs. jeffrey.
I asked the cause of the many caprices
which had marked her conduct on her
wedding morning. Why had she per-
sisted in dressing alone. and what oc-
casioned the absorption which led to
her ignoring all appeals at her door at
a time when woman is supposed to
be more than usually gracious? But
one answer suggested itself Her
heart was not In her marriage and
that last hour Of her maidenhood had
been an hour Of anguish and struggle.
Perhaps she not only failed to love
Francis jeffrey. but loved some other
man. This seemed Improbable. but
things as strange as this have hap
pened IN our complex society. and no
reckoning can be made with a wo-
mans fancy. II this was so-and
what other theory would better or
even SO well account for her peculiar

The hour usually given by brides to

most insensate persistence. inwardly de-
claring her the victim of circumstances
and hoping against hope that some
clew would offer itself by means of
which 1 might yet prove her So
Had Mr.. Jeffrey's alibi been less COM
plete he could not have stood up
against the suspicious which now ran
riot. But there was no possibility of
shifting the actual crime back to him
after the testimony of SO frank and
trustworthy a man as Tallman. If the
stopping of Mrs. Jeffrey's watch fixed
the moment Of her death as accurate
ly as was supposed-and 1 never heard
the least doubt thrown out i'm this re-
gard-he could not by any means Of
transit then known in Washington have
reached Waverley avenue in time to
fire that shot. The gates of the ceme-
terry were closed at shutdown. Sun
down took place that night at one min
ute past Z, and the distance into town
is considerable. His alibi could not be
gainsaid. So his name failed to be
publicly preached in connection with
the shooting, though his influence over
Miss futile could not be forgotten,
suggesting to some that she had acted
as his hand in the deed which robbed
him Of an undesirable wife. But this
l would not believe. 1 preferred to ac-
cept the statement that she had stop
ped short of the library door in her
suspicious visit there and that the rib
bon tying, which went for SO much,
had been done at home.

Fourth.-That Immediately after this
she had passed to the drawer where
MIR. Jeffrey's pistol was kept.
Fifth.--That while this pistol had no.
been observed in her hand, there was
as yet no evidence to prove that it had
been previously taken from the draw
er, save such as was afforded by her
own acknowledgment that she had
tied some unknown object, presumably
the pistol, to her sisters wrist before
that sister left the house.
Sixth.-That if this was so, the pis-
tol and the ribbon connecting it with
Mrs. Jeffrey's wrist had been handled
again before the former was discharg-
ed, and by fingers which had first
touched dust, of which there was
plenty in the old library.
Seventh.-That Miss futile had adj
mitted, though not till after much pre-
varication and apparent subterfuge,
that she had extended her walk on
that fatal night not only as far as the
Moore house, but that she had enter
ed it and penetrated as far as the Ii
brary door at the very moment the
shot was fired within.
Eighth.-That in acknowledging this
she had emphatically denied having as
sociated the firing of this shot with
any idea of harm to her sister; yet
was known to have gone from this
house in a condition of mind so serious
that she failed to recollect the places
she visited or the streets she passed
through till she found herself again
in her sisters house face to face with
an officer
Nipe-That her first greeting Of this
officer was shrek. betraying knowl-
edge Of his GRAND before he had given
utterance to word.
Ten.-That the candles found in the
Moore house were similar to those
bought by Mr.. jeffrey and afterward
delivered at his kitchen door.
Eleven.-That she was the only mem
Der Of the household besides the cook
who was in the kitchen at the time,
and that it was Immediately after her
departure from the room that the pack
age containing the candles had been
missed.
Twelve.-That opportunities of COM
