made little improvement in condition
her case being a battling one.
Patterson himself went to the san
itarium several days ago, after having
been drinking so as to need treatment
Yesterday morning he got hold OF
some wood alcohol, which he started
to drink. The nurse, as reported, took
it away from him, and got him tC
drink some hot water to neutralize the
poison. He was told that the alcohol
was poison, and promised to not
touch it again. Later in the forenoon
however, when no one was watching
he got hold of the stuff again by going
out across the hall. He drank about
six ounces of it, enough to kill him.
though he lived until S o'clock at
night.
Patterson leaves the afflicted wife
and two children aged and 4 year,
He has two brothers in Washington

 "One minute" said Paul hastily. "Do you think Miss Krill is the dead mans child?"
 "Of course. She's as like her mother as two peas. Why do you ask?" Paul detailed what Sylvia and Debo- rah had said. "So if she Is over thir- ty," said Beecot, "she can't be Krill's child or else she must have been born before Krill married his wife. In either case, she has no right to the money"
 "Irs strange" said Hurd musingly. "I'll have to look into that. Nean- while, I've got plenty to do."
 There's another thing I have to say.''

 Hurd started. "Oh," said he dryly, "the night the crime was committed you mean? Well, I didn't intend to look up that point, as do not see how Mrs. Krill can be implicated. How ever, I'll take a note of that" and this he did and then continued: But I'm anxious to find Jessop. 1 shouldn't be at all surprised to learn that he com mitted the double crime"

 "Yes. He might have strangled Lady Rachel and twenty years later have killed Krill. I cant be sure, but think be is the guilty person."

Y "He turned up and explained that he had been frightened on finding the woman dead. But the police found him on his craft at Southampton, and he gave evidence. He said that Krill when drunk and like a demon, as Mrs. Krill told you, had left the room sev- eral times. The last time he came back, he and the skipper had final drink, and then Jessop retired to find the body. It was supposed by the police that Krill had killed Lady Ra- chel for the saIe of the brooch, which could not be discovered"-
 But the brooch"-
 Hold on. I know what you are about to say. We'll come to that shortly. Let me finish this yarn first. It was also argued that, from Lady Rachers last words to her father and from the position of the body-tied by the neck to the bedpost-she had committed suicide Mrs. Krill, as l said, declared the deceased lady neV- CT mentioned the idea of making away with herself. However, Krilfs flight and the chance that. being drunk, he might have strangled the lady for the sake of the brooch while out of the

 He was q traveller in jewels once, according to his wife"
 ''Yes, and left that to turn innkeeper. Afterward he vanished, as I say, and became a pawnbroker In Gwynne street. Well, the jury at the inquest could not agree. Some thought Lady Rachel had committed suicide, and others that Krill had murdered her. Then the family didn't want scandal, so in one way and another the matter was hushed up. The jury brought in n verdict of suicide by majority of one, so you can see how equally they were divided. Lady Rachers body was laid in the family vault. and nothing more was heard of Lemuel Krlll.'
 "What did Mrs. Krill do?'
 %She stopped on at the inn, as she told you. People were sorry for her and helped her, so she did very well. Mother and daughter have lived at the Red Pig all these years, highly respected, until they saw the handbills about Krill. Then the money was claimed, but as the circumstance of Lady Rachel's fate whs so old nobody Thought of mentioning i; till this young lord did so to you, and l. as you see, have hunted out the details"
 What is your opinion. Hurd?' asked Paul, deeply interested,
 "Oh. l think Krill murdered the woman and then cut to London. That accounts for his looking over his shOul- der, etc"
 But how did he get money to start ns a bookseller? Premises are not leased ln Gwynne strect for nothing"
 Well, he might have got money on ths brooch"
