scarab is made for-the murderer"
Run up there, then, and bring him
down here said the officer to the last
speaker. Come down here, your he
moved his lips as if to say, reckoning
to the gentleman at the window. But
he shook his head and displayed new
motions. He was an invalid and could
not walk. He made that plain by his
gestures.
AT this moment the hospital ambu-
lance caused diversion by-rushing up
and 'depositing a surgeon and his as
sistant, who took charge of the body,
which, as soon as its face was exposed,
was recognized by a dozen different
men as that of Frederick Seavey, a real
estate dealer, who lived in suite 401,
the Colonial. with offices downtown.
By this time both the proprietor and
the janitor of the hotel had appeared
on the scene, the one with a declara-
ton that Mrs, Seavey was lying sick
in bed, and must not be told of the
tragedy for fear of its effect on her,
and the other with a statement that
rendered the formers precautions use
less Mrs. Seavey must know about it
already, he said. In fact, there had
been a row in the Seavey rooms. He
had heard loud voices, one of which
was Mr.. Seavey's, and the other that

latter, replying to some heated words
of Mr. Seaveys with, You dog! You
ought to be kicked out of the window"
This occurred in the front room, where
the sick wife was lying. She must be
fully aware of all that had taken place
there, and could throw such light on
the mystery as would Immediately
clear it up.
Upon this the landlord hurriedly vol

who had appeared in time to hear this
testimony, suggested that though the
murderer had had plenty of time to
escape, he might not have done so, and
the house should be searched and
guards stationed at all the exits, who
should allow nobody to pass to the
street until identified. This was ar
ranged for at once, several responsible
persons offering their services to help
out the employees of the hotel, and the
landlord again started to enter.
The policeman who had so far figured
in the case had meanwhile FASTENED
to the apartment house across the way
and questioned the excited man at the

He was lOOkin' into the room. There
was two men; one near the window and
the other shaking his fist at him, and

other was just pushing him. He seen

The much exercised man turned a

said. Notify your office as. quick as
you can"
! He then summoned the house physi-
clan, and together they hurried to suite
401.
The rap at the door remaining un-

turning the knob when a housemaiC
came running toward them along the
hall with the information that a doctor
was with Mrs. Seavey and she was not
to be disturbed. The doctor himself
had given orders to that effect.
This statement. so far from having
the effect the maid expected, resulted
in an action on the part of her employ.
