white to black as well as in the Sec
ond complete change, Mrs. Massey
says she noticed an itching sensation
of the skin before the appearance Of
the spots, dark or light, as the case
might be. AS she tells it, the first
white spots began to dot her colored
skin in 1888, and in the course of two
years she turned perfectly light. Dur
ing the next two years reverse pro-
cess followed. The next four years
saw similar change from black to
white, then from white to black, and
Mrs. Massey was still more astonished
in 1896 when she began to turn white
for the third time. Since that date
she has been turning color more SLOW
ly, and the surprising thing is that
the hue has held for the exceptional
number of years.
Although she has not as yet noticed
the accompanying itching sensation,
the appearance of the little spots on
the face has given her ground for fear
that the reverse process in the third
transformation may net be far off,

matter, however, as she is not affect
ed physically by the change of color.
In fact she says she has always en-
joyed the best of health, and although
she is getting pretty we'll along in
years expects 70 see many more birth
days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Massey came to In
dianapolis from Bowling Green, KY,
in 1896, just as she was beginning to
turn white for the third time. When
she lived in the Kentucky town many
physicians examined her in an at
tempt to find cause for the change
in color. In Indianapolis she has at
tracted considerable attention wher-
ever she has gone, but none of the
city doctors has ever called on her,
she says.
Mr. and Mrs Massey have daugh-
ter Mrs jeremiah Redman of Nelson
street, where they spend much of their
time.

see the letter and I'll let you in on the
biggest story you ever pulled off,
Trust me and you'll go into the Office
with the full story Of the Hoppington
murder"
This was bait enough and he took
the letter from his pocket. I glanced
at the address. It was Captain Fftz-
hugh Graham"
We've got it. Quick! Out of here"
1 whispered, catching Clarke's eye and
reckoning him to follow. -
A few minutes later we were at CEN
trail station and with the chief in Ora
hams cell.
Clarke handed him the letter. His
face blanched as he glanced at the
address, but he pulled himself to-
gether, broke the seal and read the
contents. Then, but for Clarke catch
ing him, he would have fallen lifeless
to the cell floor. We laid him on the
bunk and the Jail attendants rushed in
and applied the usual restoratives.
The chief had picked up the letter
which had fallen from Graham's I'M
gers. He read it and passed 1t to us.
I give it verbatim:
Beloved: Kismet is too strong for us.
There is but one way out and shall take
It. The blood of the beast is on my
hands and your love could never wash
them clean. Tell all and save yourself.
When you read this I shall be dead by
the little weapon you gave me. Forgive
me for the ruin of your life. You only
have I loved. kiss your mouth.
EVELYN"
For weeks we despaired Of ever
hearing Graham's story while he lay
in brain fever, the result Of the shock
to his already overweight nervous
system. At last, however, Clarke, the
chief and I, who, despite the fact that
we were the instruments of his undo
ing, he regarded as his closest friends,
sat by his bedside and heard the pitt
full tale. I will abridge it to give the
reader only the points in the story
which remained a mystery to us and
must be equally SO to anyone following
these lines.

ess Evelyn Scrymgour at a house

countess, whoever she might be, was
too closely connected with the action

When we reached the Victorian we
were aware of unwonted excitement
in the neighborhood Of that usually
quiet hosiery. A police ambulance
and patrol wagon were at the door
discharging their load of blue-coats.
Several active young men whom i'm

hurrying into the lobby. One Of them

gripped by the shoulder and asked
for an explanation.

dressed, about thirty years of age, and
beautiful even in death, with her deep
olive complexion, her features of the
most delicate patrician mold, her lips,
which the blood had not yet deserted
as red as coral, and her silky black
hair, one loose strand of which strayed
over the temple and half concealed
the round red spot where death had
entered. And this form but few mo-
ments before had been instinct and
quivering with life and love and pas

caliber, filter for lady's toy than for
an instrument Of tragedy, rested in the
nerveless fingers on the white lace
covering of the bed.
