leave town, depriving the defense Of

Then, one evening, the operator at

out whoop that startled the little
company waiting for the distribution

They've caught the man who

is telegram to his sister. Listen:

"How about his sister," piped a
voice from the crowd. "She might
like to have look at that telegram. !"
Thus reminded, the operator shot
| across the street to the hotel.
A little later he ran across with
one to the effect that there had been
q railroad wreck and their arrival
would be delayed.
1t was the second day following
| that Braxmar and Tomlin stepped
from the train and were driven to
the hotel. There were just the two
of them and Remsen thrilled with
| the report that it was Tomlin who
had done the murder.
Later on, after the prosecuting
officers had left the conference, 1t
became known that the person who
had fired the shot had been killed
in the wreck which had delayed the
others, but had made a deposition
that entirely exonerated Findlay.
TITS very simple matter" ex-
planned Braxmar, when he and Helen
were alone. There was Just one
clew that was not being worked on.
That was the man who was trying
to enter the box car. 1t was train

could have no incentive to force the
door except that he wanted to get

And some'll say: Wonder what she

Mrs. Fettee was Miss Charlotte Grace

strong she said hopelessly. Il
don't see what hope there is
Suppose you tell me what you
know he pleaded. 1T may help
bring the guilty man to Justice.
There was something in Braxmar's
manner that inspired confidence,
and simply, directly. she told him
what she knew. From the press re-
port he had only learned that John
Findlay had shot and killed Caspian
Arnton as the result of feud. IL
was the girl who supplied the mo-
tive.
They had all lived in the little
town of Remsen, in the northern part
Of Ohio. Helen Findlay had been
engaged to Arnton, but had broken
the engagement on account of GER
tain stories that had come to her
knowledge
! Arnton had let It be inferred that
he had broken the engagement for
reasons he did not care to divulge.
The Arntons were wealthy, and lead
ers of the towns society and the
people had elected to believe Arm
ton.
Helen had gone to visit relatives
in Albany until the talk died down,
but her brother had staid on because
he could not afford to give up his
position with the railroad.
There had been several encounters
I'between the two men, and when
Arnton had been found dead almost
in the shadow of his home, Findlay
had been accused.
A search of his lodgings discov-
cred pair Of shoes stained with the
red earth found in that part of the
street and in his cash drawer at the
station was found a revolver with
| one chamber discharged. The bullet
found in Arntons spine was of the
same caliber, and Findlay's declara-
tion that the revolver had been fully
loaded when he left the office found
greater credence than his statement
that the revolver had been left In
the cash drawer.
Given the motive, the weapon with
which the deed was accomplished
and an inability to establish an alibi,
and it was not to be wondered at
that the case was regarded as good
as tried.
Braxmar had been sent for by the
family merely that he might COM
plete the tying of the various
threads, and lend to the trial the
prestige Of a ncme we'll known in
criminal circles
Braxmar's deafness was little
handicap to him in his work. On
the contrary, it sometimes helped
him, and he had splendid record as
an Investigator. Even Helen had
heard of him and found infinite re-
lief in his quiet comment when she
had finished her story.
"The case is too simple to be cor
rect" he declared. The breakfast
car has been put on. Let us have
cup of coffee"
BraXmar's cheerfulness communi-
Gated itself somewhat to the girl and
as her face lit up and the haggard
lines OF care faded, her beauty COM
pleted the conquest her heartbrolen
sobbing had begun.
That afternoon he visited her at
her hotel. 81 thought you might like
