Planet Will Generate New
Appendage.

Chicago, Illinois. - The theory that
Halley's comet had lost its old t"li
which is still floating in space in the
Eastern sky and is now generating a
new one was advanced by the Rev
Daniel J.. McHugh, professor OF as
tronomy at De Paw university. n
old tail was forced away from the
comet by the forces of unusual eiec'
trical repulsion caused by the sun
spots which were so prominent Wed
nesday he thinks.
1T is my opinion" said Professor
McHugh, that the comet lost its tail
some time Wednesday night. There
are records of it's having done the
same thing in 1885 and it also is be-
lieved that a tail was lost in March
of this year. | also believe that there
is not the slightest chance of the
earth's coming in contact with the tail
on this visit.
Combined with the solar repulsion
caused by the sun spots in forcing
the old tail away was the attraction
of the earth. When the old tail broke
away it continued in the same plane.
it was seer in the East Thursday
morning and on Friday morning it ap-
peared DINNER and more dissipated.
AS the old tail no longer receives
fresh gas and energy from the head
of the comet it will disappear in time.

had some difficulty in restraining a
wild impulse to clasp her to his heart

Even MI. Winter was moved not to

Brett nodded, and the detective went
out, saying to himself as he reached
the street.

Continued From saturday,

The detective was somewhat quieter
In manner now that the sensational
turn of events in Paris had assimilated
with the other remarkable features of
the crime. Moreover, the presence of a
peer of the realm a a subduing in
fluence upon him, and he had the good
taste not to insist too strenuously
that Lord Fairholme's prospective
brother-in-law was not only an Access
sorry to a foul murder, but also a fugi-
tive thief.
One new fact was established by the
post-mortem examination of h vic
tins. Considerable violence had been
used to overcome the struggles Of the
servant, Hussein. His neck was almost
d~islocated, and there was a large bruise
on his back which might have been
caused by the nee of an assailant en-
d~eavoring to garrotte him.
They were discussing this discovery
and its possible significance when
Smith entered, bearing a lady's visiting
card, which he silently handed to his
master.
Brett read the name inscribed there
on. He merely said, "Show the lady
in" Then he turned to the Earl of
Fairholme, electrifying the latter by
the words, Miss Edith Talbot is here"
An instant later Miss Talbot came
into the room. The three men knew
that she brought momentous, perchance
direful, intelligence. She was deathly
pale. Her eyes were unnaturally bril-
liant, her mouth set in tense resolution.
"Mr. Brett" she said, after a single
glance at her lover, 1--WE ave received
a letter from my brother"

Winter.
But Brett only said:

Yes; it is here. My uncle, who is

ought to see it at once"

Mr.. Winter was the first to recover

glance which seemed to express phil
osophical doubt as to whether Mr.. Win

dust.
."You are quite positive that both

"There can be no doubt about It,"
chimed in Fairholme, to whom, in re-
Spouse to a gesture, Brett had passed
the damning document.

considerably" said Brett. .

CHAPTER vi.
A Journey to Paris.
THE sight of Talbot's letter Sc

TIME sight of Talbot'S letter seemed
to fire Brett's imagination. He
radiated electric energy. Both
Lord Fairholme and Miss Talbot felt
hat In his presence all doubts a
ished. They realized, without knowing
why, that this man of power, this hui
a dynamo, would quickly dispel the
clouds which now rendered the outlook
so fo%rbidding. For the moment, heed
less of their presence, he began to pace
the o in the strenuous c~oncentra-
ton of his thoughts. Once he halted
in front of the small bust of Edgar AL
Ian Poe, whose pedestal still impris-
oned the two cuttings of a newspaper
which formed the barrister's first links
with the tragedy. His ideas suddenly
reverted to the paragraph describing
the efforts of the Porte to obtain from
the French government the eXtradition
of a fugitive relative of the Sultan. AT
that instant, too, a tiny clock on the
mantelpiece chimed forth the hour of s.
THAT settles it," said Brett aloud.

Brett instantly became apologetic.
pray forgive my apparent %fippancy,
Miss Talbot" he said. II am really in
earnest. | believe that a flying visit
to Paris just now must unquestionably
advance us an important stage in this
inquiry. Let me explain exactly what
l mean. Here is a letter from your .
brother, in handwriting which you
and others best qualified to judsc
declare to be undeniably his. 1t also
bears postmarks which would demon
strate to a court of law that it wal
posted in Paris last night and received
here to-day. But it does not follow
that it was written in Paris; it might
nave been written anywhere Now, ac- )
cording to the police, there is an entry
in the visitors book at the Grand Hotel
which appears to prove that your
brother wrote his name therein on Tues
day night. If the handwriting in the
Grand Hotel register corresponds be-
yond all doubt with that in this letter
and envelope, then your brother must
be in Paris. If it does not, he is not
there. l am convinced that the latter
hypothesis is correct, but to make
doubly sure I will go and see with myG'
own eyes. There now-I owed you an,
explanation, and l have barely time to
catch my train. Goodbye. I will wire
you in the morning"
He placed the mysterious letter in his
notebook, gave them a parting smile,
and was gone.
He managed to catch the S:15, which
started punctually, the sole remnant of
railway virtue possessed by the Chat
ham and South Eastern line. A restful (
porter, quickened into active life by a
half-crown tip, found him a v~acantai
seat in a first-class smoking carriage
and Brett's hasty glance round thsA
compartment revealed that his travel401
ing companions, as far as Dover, at
any rate, were severely respectable
Britons bound for the Riviera. IL
The harbor station at Dover wore its X
usual aspect of detected misery. The
hurrying passengers pushed and jostleI "
each other in their frenzied efforts tos
board the steamer, for the average
British tourist has a rooted belief that3l
such pushing and jostling and banging 1
of apoplectic portmanteaus against the
legs of others are absolutely necessary
if he would not be left behind.
With an experience born of many
voyages, Brett quickly noted the direc--
ton of the wind and the vessels beard
ings. A stiff breeze had brought up a q
moderate sea, and the barrister dumped
down his bag and flung himself into q
chair on what a novice would regard 4
