Mystery Of Bullets.

-
The bullet peeled away the
bark OF the beech tree be-
meath which Mr.. Montgomery
Jones was leaning and she:
across his face.
But being forewarned by suspicion,
Mr.. Jones was forearmed. and re
lounged back Just in time.
He lounged back languidly, almost
gracefully, but none the less quickly.
and he had time to note that In the
motor launch on which he had kept
such careful watch were two men.
One or them sat by the tiller, and his
dark eyes were upon Mr.. Jones. The
other occupant OF the little craft lean
ed against the gunwale. and his eyes.
too. were upon Mr. Jones.
Air gun" said Mr.. Jones to him
self. as he heard the soft hup or the
spinning bark from the tree, and he
edged further around the trunk.
The launch went on its way up the
Thames, making for Cookham- The
hour was high noon.
Mr.. Jones, however, was not minded
to let the launch 90 far without his
active interference Like a fash his
band went to his hip pocket. and he
drew out a revolver with long nose.
His left hand shot up to his right 10
steady IL, and In second he had
laid careful train upon the launch.
There Mas report. and the man In
the launch who had been leaning over
the side OF the boat fell forward with
small purple patch on his forehead.
A heavy airgun dropped from his
hand with splash into the stream.
The other man In the launch swoop-
ed forward and lifted the dead man
back into the boat AS he did so the
launch swung round and shot over to-
ward the opposite bank. but with a
turn OF his wrist he put her course
dead upstream again. The boat ran
ND beyond the bend OF the river and
disappeared.
Mr.. Montgomery Jones replaced his
revolver Ia his pocket and sat down
beneath the tree which had at once
been the means Of his sure defence
and the cover OF his deadly attack
He sighed softly to himself.
Not that he was In any way dis
turbed. He sat still, like a man walt
ing for the fulnllment OF prearranged
events. He was calculating TO q
nicely what would happen. In this
mathematical optimism he was to
great extent justified. For an hour
he had watched the apparently limo
cent maneuvers OF the motor Launch
which had lain just downstream. He
had watched these maneuyers with a
vast amount OF interest. for Mr.. Jones
was possessed of a sense passing rare
In men but extremely common In wo-
men-the sense OF keen, unsleeping
suspicion.
In women this sense IL called In
tuition: In men II is accounted repre-
hensible None the less. history can
be called to prove II has made most
great men great. SO let US call the
sense that dominated Mr.. Montgom-
cry Jones suspicion or intuition. as
you will. 1t does not do away with
the fact that he had vague forebod

that lowered wasplike just down
stream.
He had perceived II first as he sal

strange though sordid romance
of real life was told Tuesday morning
before Commissioner Harsha. Samuel
Scott was charged with harboring an
alien woman for immoral purposes,
the woman being Mrs. Mary Ellen
Saskatchewan in February to come
here.
The woman was the principal wit
ness and she began her story with the
days when she had known Scott In
London. where they had been chill
dren together. She had married War
mock and they went together to the
far northwest OF Canada.
But she could not bear the rough
life OF the new country and was dis
appointed In her farmer husband. So
she took what money was available,
packed up some clothing and fed TO
Detroit, where she knew Scott was.
Coming TO Detroit AT night, she had
driven to his boarding place and had
the cabman invite him out Then she
had carried him ou. Indignantly she
denied that he had paid her way since,
rather the opposite.

On the evidence presented Commits

the woman is still held subject to in

several weeks. Mrs. warnock Is q
rather pretty little woman with a

An AFFAIR Between Kings.

Mr.. Jones looked Strong quickly but
thoroughly up and down. He read In
his appearance an English gentleman
who was quixotically sportsmanlike:
an Englishman who in any case
would do a friend the best turn he
could, keeping silence as to the meth.
Cd Of doing 1t. and afterward laugh
away all thanks.
This In any case would have been
SUFFICIENT for the quietude of mind o.
Mr.. Montgomery Jones. But his was
the brain OF the business man which
possesses the faculty OF seizing on
every detail and using every oppor-
tunity to his own advantage. And
he knew that Strong, bare-armed and
brave, and apparently impressionable,
had been flirting with his daughter In
q lazy though well-bred spirit OF chiv-
airy that would suffice to keep him 81
lent In matters OF vital importance to
a possible father-in-law, even though
silence involved q doubtful secret.
And his secret was heavy one.
For Mr.. Montgomery Jones was q
great deal more sthan the ordinary
man ne seemed to be. He passed on
the Thames for a wealthy, independ-
ent and somewhat casual American
millionaire. And the inhabitants of
the Thames, never making Inquiries
beyond the limits of mans purse
strings. did not suspect that the COM
placent American with the endless
supply of ready money was INDUCING
In that luxury of the excessively
wealthy, or the unusually exalted. CON-
monty known as an "ineognito."
There we're very many who could
have stripped away the incognito OF
Mr.. Jones. The embassy OF every
great power kept by no means easy
eye upon the neat creeper-trimmed
villa of Mr.. Montgomery Jones.
