SYNOPSIS.

Miss Innes, spinster and guardian Of
Gertrude and Halsey, established summer
headquarters at Sunnyside. Amidst nu-
merous difficulties the servants deserted.
As Miss Innes locked up for the night,
she was startled by dark figure on the
veranda. She passed a terrible night,
which was filled with unseemly noises.

with Jack Bailey. The house was awak-
ened by revolver shot. A strange man
was found shot to death, in the hall.
1t proved to be the body of Arnold Arm
strong, whose banker father owned the
country house. Miss Innes found Hal
sey's revolver on the lawn. He and Jack
Bailey had disappeared. The link cuff
button mysteriously disappeared. De
tective Jameson and the coroner arrived:

talked in the billiard room few mo-
ments before the murder. Jameson told
Miss Innes that she was hiding evidence
from him. He imprisoned an intruder in

the intruder was probably woman. Ger

He said he and Bailey had left because
they had received a telegram: Gertrude

loaded revolver, fearing to give him Hal

a CHASTITY sight. He flung the white
object at me, and, jerking open the
outer door, raced into the darkness.
Gertrude had come on hearing the
noise, and now we stood, staring at
each other over-of all things on
earth-a white silk and wool blanket,
exquisitely fine! 1t was the most I'M

feet from the house were two figures,
that moved slowly toward us as we
looked. When they came within range
of the light, recognized Halsey, and
with him Mrs. Watson, the house
keeper.

is fastened, proceeds to separate the
bird in question from the rest of the
flock and deftly slip the hook about
its neck, making 1t captive.

Where Housewives Buy Living Birds
for More Than One
Reason.

Far up Hastings street, where long
rows of poplar trees mark the ap-
proach to the Polish settlement, says
the Detroit Free Press, is a market
the like of which is not to be found
elsewhere in the city.
On a vacant corner. surrounded by
a high fence, an enterprising east
slider has established goose and duck
market that attracts patrons from far
and near. The women of the neigh
borhood are a trife particular as to
how they buy their poultry. The
guaranty of freshness furnished by the
fact that goose or duck Is alive Is
not of so much consequence as the
knowledge that feathers, which might
otherwise be wasted. can be trans
ferred to the ticks so much In vogue
In this quarter. Thus It comes that

the telephone his face showed that
something had occurred. He waited
however, until Thomas left the din

Gertrude turned pale.

said despairingly.

and bolt-Halsey's word, and a good
one-into the grounds-this made the
incident more than significant.
They moved slowly across the lawn
and up the steps. Halsey was talking
quietly, and Mrs. Watson was looking
down and listening. She was a woman
of certain amount Of dignity, most
efficient, so far as l could see, al

To Halsey, as to me, there was ever

conversation of the night before. AS
we strolled back and forth along the
drive, Mr.. Jameson emerged from
the shadow of the trees.
Good evening"" he said, managing
to include Gertrude in his bow. Ger
trude had never been even ordinarily
courteous to him, and she nodded cold

dial, although we were all constrained
enough. He and Gertrude went on
together, leaving the detective to walk

earshot, he turned to me.
