CHAPTER v.
ne Next Car,

The Woman IN the Next Car
With the departure of the conduc-
tor and the doctor, the group around
lower ten broke up, to reform in
smaller knots through the car. The
porter remained on guard. With
something of relief sank into a seat.
| wanted to think, to try to remember
the details of the previous night But
my inquisitive acquaintance had other
intentions. He came up and sat down
beside me. Like the conductor, he had
taken notes of the dead mans be-
longings, his name, address, clothing
and the general circumstances of the
crime. Now with his little notebook
open before him, he prepared to en-
10y the minor sensation of the rob-
berry
"And now for the second victim"
he began cheerfully. what is your
name and address, please?"
eyed him with suspicion.

and address," I parted What do you
want them for? Publication"
ooh, no; dear, not" he said, shocked
at my misrepresentation. Merely for
my own enlightenment. l like to
gather data of this kind and draw my
own conclusions. Most interesting and
engrossing. Once Or twice I have
forestalled the results of police inves-
tisation-but entirely for my own
amusement"
I nodded tolerantly. Most of us
have hobbies; | knew man once who
carried his handkerchief up his sleeve
and had a mania for old colored prints

mated by Poe and followed since with
such success by Conan Doyle. Have
you ever read Gaboriau? All, you have
missed a treat, indeed. And now, to
get down to business, what is the
name of our escaped thief and prob
able murderer?"
GLOW on earth do l know?" I de-
manded impatiently. "He didn't write
it in blood anywhere, did he?"
The little man looked hurt and dis
appointed.
do you mean to say" he asked,
that the pockets Of those clothes are
entirely empty?"
The pockets! In the excitement
had forgotten entirely the sealskin
grin which the porter now sat at my
feet, and l had not investigated the
pockets at ALL With the inquisitive
mans pencil taking note of every
thing that I found, emptied them on
the opposite seat.

pencils and fountain pen: lower
right waist-coat, matchbox and small
stamp book; right-hand pocket coat,
pair of gray suede gloves, new. size
seven and a half; left-hand pocket,
gun-metal cigarette case studded with
pearls, half-full of Egyptian cigarettes.
The trousers pockets contained a gold
penknife, small amount of money In
bills and change, and a handkerchief
with the initial So on it.
