CHAPTER XIV (Continued)
Eessenden's Detective Work.

Something about Mrs Markham's
earnest face and sad. distressed
voice affected Fessendcn deeply, and
he wondered if this theory che had
so clearly. though hesitatingly, stat
ed could be the true one. Might he,
after all, be mistaken in his esti-
mate of schuyler Carleton. and
might Mrs. Markham's suggestion
have even "a foundation cf probabil-
ity?"
They were both silent for a few
minutes. and then Mr. Fessenden
said. But you thought it was sui
eide at first?"
Indeed did. looked at the
paper through glasses that were aim
with tears. and 1t looked to me
like Made.elne's writing. OF course,
Miss Morton also thought II was,
as she was only slightly familiar
with Maddys hand. But now that we
know some one else wr1te that mes
sage. OF course We also know the
dear girl did not bring about her
own death
Mrs. Markham was called away on
some household errands then, and
Fcssenden remained alone in the IL
brary. trying to think Cf some clue
that would point to some one other
| than Carleton.
