Yes, indeed, it is cas- to remem-

Coquenil felt a thrill of excitement,
for, unless he a misunderstood the
commissary's diagram. the seamstress
was pointing not to private room Num-

She seemed a truthful, well-meaning
person, and the murderer might have
gone into Number Seven after commit
ting the crime. 1t was evidently inn
portant to get as much light as possible
on this point. Hence the need Of NJ.
Gritz.
NJ. Herman Gritz was a short, mas
sive man with hard. puffy eyes and
thin black hair, rather curly and oily,
and a rapacious nose. He appeared
(having been induced to come down by
the commissary) in a richly embroid-
cred blue5silk house garment, and his
eqorts at affability were obviously
based on apprehension.
Coquenil began at nee with ques-
tions about private room Number
Seven. We had reserved this room and
what had prevented the person from
occupying it? NJ. Gritz replied that
Number Sever had been engaged some
days before by an old client, who. at
the last moment. had sent a petit blen
to say that he had changed his plans
and would not require the room the
petit bleu did not arrive until after the
crime was discovered, 80 the room re-
manned empty. More than that, the
door was locked.
Locked on the Outsider

with the key in the lock-
Yes
''Then anyone coming along the cor
ridor might have turned the key and
entered Number Severn
ut is possible admitted NJ. Gritz,
"but very improbable. The room was
dark, and an ordinary person seeing a
door locked and q Don dark"
eve are not talking about an ordi-
nary person. retorted the detective.
1--WE are talking about a murderer.
Come, we must look into this" and he
led the way down the corridor. noddins
to the policeman outside Number SIX
and stopping at the next door. the last
in the line, the door to Number Seven.

yet" He glanced TOWARD the adjoin-
ing room of the tragedy. then, turning
the key In Number Seven, he tried TO
open the door.
"Hellol It's locked on the inside,
too,'
'eriens, You're right said Gritz,
and he rumpled his scanty locks in per-
plexity.

The proprietor shook his head and,
rather reluctantly, went on to explain

SEPARATE BLOUSE REVIVED.


This winter will be one of separate
waists, which will be good news for
the woman with a slender income or
of moderate means.
For wear with ones tailor-made suits
a blouse of lace or net to match is very
much au fat and may even be made to
appear as If intended for the costume
by trimming with tabs or bretelles of
the material. OF course, the blouse OF
tucked chiffon to match a tailor-made
suit is also very proper and effective,
but more expensive than the ones of
net.
Separate skirts are also allowed this
season; in fact, quite recommended for
wear with ones top Goa or fur gar
ment; therefore there will be more use
for the pretty lingerie blouse thar there
was last winter.

have been easy now. for instance, to
assume that this prim spinster was
mistaken in declaring that she had
seen the pistol thrown from the window
