my impression u.s." l replied, that
! Mr.. Ma1nwaring's mind; is not quite
r1gnt Tor the time being. Typhoid is

all outside appearances, completely
recovered. But the thing now Is to
Try TO locate your husband Before
we begin our search I should like to
ask you few questions. How old is
Mr.. Mainwaring?"
Nearly 49,"
| He was a Harvard student, I un.
derstood you to say?''
! Yes, he was graduated Just ten
| years ago. We talked much of it dur
Ing the happy fortnight we spent at
| Cambridge. We visited all his old
| haunts and made inquiries regarding
several friends to whom he was much
attached In his college days. I re-
member he was very deeply affected
when he heard of the death of a GER
tain Mr.. Leigh who had been a par
ttcular chum of his in the past. But
he only heard of his death when we
took the trip to Cambridge, for he
had completely lost sight of him for
a long time and the news saddened
him greatly"
when did he hear of Leigh's
death?" asked.
The day before yesterday. One of
the professors at Harvard told him.
He talked about Leigh all the even
ing, and told rae several incidents
with regard to a foreign tour they had
taken together"
Indeed! And he seemed depressed
when he spoken AZ. v5T
"Only just for a time.'
when did your husband and Mr..
Leigh go abroad?"
Mrs. Mainwaring thought for a mo-
ment.
1T was just after Edward finished
his college course" she said "He
mentioned that fact also when he
talked over matters the evening be-
fore last"
From what port did Mr.. Mainwar-
ing and his friend Leigh start on their
foreign tour?"
Il think it must have been from
Boston. Yes, am sure it was Ed
ward said that Mr.. Leigh arranged to
meet him at the Grand hotel in Bos-
ton. He failed to keep his first ap-
pointment, and Edward had to remain
there waiting for him for "a hours"
Did you notice anything peculiar
about your husband the last evening
and night you spent together?"'
Nothing whatever. Edward was
just his old SELF His depression about
Walter Leigh soon passed away, and
he spoke cheerfully about his own
prospects, and said how exceptionally
lucky he considered himself to be able
to resume his professional work so
soon after such severe Illness"
"A few more questions, Mrs. Main
waring; and first, how long have you
been married?"
"Six years." she said. my little
girl Nancy will be five in a week."
"You never happened to meet this
Walter Leigh"
mo, and you may think it strange
that Edward never even spoke of him
to me until two days ago, but-then, Ed
ward is very busy man, much occu-
pied with steadily growing prac

"Did you chance to know any of his
college friends?"
mo; l was not in any way con.
nected with that portion of his life.
We never met until at least three
years after my husband had left Har-
yard"
Thank you,"' said II do not think
I have anything further to ask you.
But you can assure yourself on one
point that l know is troubling you,
Mrs. Mainwaring. Your husband has
not committed suicide. Indeed, from
what you have. told me; ! am strong
" inclined to think. that Mi. Main.

at the Grand hotel, which is still in
