The Mystery OF
The Yellow Room
WHOM Won womb selve me?" ASH


the Green Man.
Daddy Matthews face was placid
and no longer retained its expression
OF hatred
"Ive nothing for you-nothing fol
you. Take yourself Off"
The Green Man quietly refilled his
pipe, lit 1t, bowed TO us and went out
No sooner was he over the threshold
than Daddy Matthew slammed the
door after him, and, turning toward
us, with eyes bloodshot and frothne
at the mouth, he Kissed to us, shaking
| his clinched fist at the door he had
just shut on the man he evidently
hated:
! II don't know who you are who tell
me We shall have to eat red meat
now,' but if it will interest you to
know it-that man is. the murderer
With which words Daddy Matthew
immediately left us. Rouletabille re-
turned toward the fireplace and said:
"Now Wen grill our steak. How do
you like the cider? It's a little tart.
| but l like it,"
We saw no more of Daddy Matthew
that day, and absolute silence reigned
in the inn when we left it after plac-
ing 3 francs on the table in payment
for our feast.
Roulctabille at once set off on Il
three mile walk around Professor
Stangerson's estate. He halted for
some ten minutes at the corner of u
narrow road black with SCOT near TO
some charcoal burners hut8 in the
forest of 81. Celeyieve which touc1ts

had certainly passed that way before
entering the grounds and conceaiiuy
himself in the little clump OF trees.
You don't think, then, that the
Keeper knots anything of it?' asked
I'VE shall see lat later" he replied
For the present I'm not interested in
what the landlord said about the man.
The landlord hates him. Ididnt take
you to breakfast at the Donjon inn
for the sake of the Green Man"
Then Rouletabille, with great pre-
caution, glided, followed by me. to-
ward the little building which, stand.
ing near the park gate, served for the
home Of the conciergcs who had been
arrested that morning. With the skill
of an acrobat he got into the lodge by
an upper window which had been left
open and returned ten minutes later
He said only AIR worh which In
his mouth aignified many things.
We were about to take the road lead
ing TO the chateau when Il considerable
stir at the park gate attracted our at
tention. \ carriage had arrived, and
some people had come from the cha
teau to meet 1t. Rouletabile pointed
out to me gentleman who descended
from it.
That's the chief Of the Paris po-
lice" he said. NOW we shall see
what Frederic Larsan has up his
sleeve and whether he is so much clev-
erer than anybody else"
The carriage of the chief was follow
ed by three other vehicles containing
reporters, who were also DESTROYS Of
entering the park. But two gendarmes
stationed at the gate had evidently
received orders to refuse admission to
anybody. The chief of police Gained
their impatience by undertaking to
furnish to the press that evening all
the information he could give that
would not interfere with the judicial
inquiry.

Ing TO the mystery Of the yellow room
there is one very interesting piece. 1t
Is detail Of the famous examination
which took place that afternoon in the
laboratory of Professor Stangerson be-
fore the chief Of police. This nara
tive is from the pen of NJ. Maleine, the
registrar, who, like the examining
magistrate. had spent some of his
leisure time in the pursuit of litera-
ture.
THE REGISTRARS NARRATIVE.
The examining magistrate and /,
says NJ. Maleine, found ourselves in
the yellow room in the company of the
builder who had constructed the pavil-
ion after Professor Stangcrson's de-
signs. He had workman with him.
NJ. de Marquet had had the walls laid
entirely bare-that Is to say. he had
had them stripped of the paper which
had decorated them. Blows with n
pick here and there satisfied us of the
nonexistence of any sort of opening.
The floor and the ceiling were thor
Oughly sounded. We found nothing.
There was nothing to be found. NJ. de
Marquet appeared to be delighted and
never ceased repeating:
what n case! What case! We
shall never know, you'll see, how the
murderer was able to get out of this
roomv'
Then suddenly, with radiant face,
he called to the officer in charge Of the
gendarmes.

Gel, Tor, see, there are no marks OF
steps leading to the marks left by the
boots, w&ch were placed side by side.
That accounts for the fact that the
murderer left no trace of his steps
when he fed from the yellow room,
nor any in the laboratory, nor in the
vestibule. After entering the yellow
room in his boots he took them off,
finding them troublesome or because
he wished to make as little noise as
possible. The marks made by him in
going through the vestibule and the
laboratory were subsequently washed
out by Daddy Jacques. Having for
some reason or other taken off his
boots, the murderer carried them in
his hand and placed them by the side
of the parcel he had made. BY that
time the robbery had been accomplish

AT any rate, the Simpson children
| began to be seen in the second stratum
of London society and met endless
numbers OF the shopworn nobility. but,
sad to relate, never one of the truly
respectable. To those who know their
London there are several layers of no
billty, and the layer the ordinary In
dividual meets. who has no social pres,
tige to begin with, Is composed of that
peculiar class that lends its name to
doubtful directorates. to queer pros
pectuses, to struggling milliners with
an eye on the main chance and who
gladly extend unlimited credit to their
patrons in return for modest and well
put advertisement.
Strangely enough. the Hawcastle,
Creech combination did not drag the
willing Simpsons into the glittering
presence of the real set.
On the contrary. with a somewhat
dog in the manger policy, they awak-
ened both the earl and his sister-in-
law to the fact that they wished NO
sharers in those American dollars that
John Simpson had sweated his brow
for, and as a consequence they pro
posed little trip-a quiet, ante-season
trip-to Sorrento. where not a guest
would disturb them and where mat
ters might be given chance to right
themselves.
And there, strangely enough. the
Simpsons met the Comtesse de Cham
pigny and were quite delighted to find
the gifted and brilliant Frenchwoman
an intimate of the earls. The second
morning of their arrival the gay COM
tesse put in an appearance and with q
promptitude that was astonishing took
young Horace under the widowly wing
and marked him for her own. And
that same morning the noble earl took
his equally noble son into the shrub
berry and spoke to him.
You've got to do 1t, st Aubyn," he
said. The family honor is at stake.
For heavens sake, marry the little
fool! What If her scurrilous name Is
Simpson? You can make her forget 1t.

CHAPTER II.
THE ExILES

AK years of life abroad. and these
- during the most impressionabl BILE
~ period Of their young lives, had
left an indelible imprint upon
the two young people.
Horace Simpson had taken to him
self the manners of the Harrow and
Oxford youth. He had eschewed the
society Of what he had learned. with
parrot-like aptness, to call those "vul-
gar Americans" and had confined his
social intercourse solely to such Of the
European "haut ton" as he could man
age to scrape acquaintance with.
And this last was a somewhat uphill
task, for. whatever else one may say
about the English, they are inclined to
view with very little favor the pos
SCISSOR Of no other attribute than
money. True. there are exceptions,
and these but prove the rule.
Ethel. who had grown into a really
beautiful young woman, had followed
suit, so far as In her modest powers
lay. Such Of her school friends as
would permit the half formed &C.
quaintance to ripen she had retained.
Such others of her own modest begin
nings she had quietly but emphatically
dropped. From plain democracy she
had sought the antithesis, and the leap
was all the more an earnest one be-
cause Of its breadth.
The Simpsons-and they had added
their mothers maiden name and linked
It to the paternal nomenclature with
a hyphen-had been deeply bitten with
the aristocratic virus and after long
and arduous struggle had managed to
meet Lady Creech.
This titled mondaine had the misfor-
tune to be viciously short Of patrimony
and inordinately long Of lineage, and.
while her life Of self denial had doubt
less imhttered her, she had a most
inordinate value Of birth and a distinct
appreciation Of cash; hence when 1t
came her way to pick the Granger
Simpsons out Of tile slough Of COM
monplace acquaintance she did 1t with
a royal favor and for stipulated con-
sideration.
Really, my dear Hawcastle"-she
pronounced 1t as old sailors pronounce
"fo'c's'tle"-she was wont to say
really. Of course, they are quite i'm
possible. but the girl is an adaptable
little thing. and l may be able to make
something Of her in time, while the
boy-ah. fear I shall have to leave
him to you and st. Aubyn."
"Do as you like" replied the Earl Of
Hawcastle. with some choler, "but
keep them out Of my way as much as
possible. / positively will not be badg.
cred by these unbaked colonists."
Zone might stand quantity Of
badgering, Hawcastle, for 100000"
at which the genial earl would squirm
nervously.

CHAPTER ".
STRANGE NEWS.


y" he Earl of Hawcastie was near
ly at the end of his financial
rope. And yet to look at him
as he entered upon the terrace
from the lemon grove no one would
have thought that care in the world
possessed him.
Added to the natural calm demeanor
OF the Englishman of station was q
certain self possession gained by years
of standing on the brink of events,
and. while this brilliant morning his
cares had hung even little more
heavily upon him than was his desire,
yet he gave no outward hint of any
troubles that beset him.
He was a well preserved man of IF
ty-six. with close cropped iron gray
hair and n straight cut military mus
tache that hid certain cruel lines In
his mouth and softened the severe
lineaments. He carried himself with
an erectness that bespoke pride in
race, If not In deeds of his own. He
was distinguished with that curious
individuality that causes those In the
street to nudge one another and ask
in whispers who another may be, and
he was Enthusiastically high bred
True, his sense Of honor that would
balk at cheating in a card game or
the larceny of travelling bag was
