And so," said she, I'VE come around
TO the point from which we started-prooi
positive that We are lost In the woods.
And Miss Butterworth rose She felt that
for the time being she, at least, had come
TO the end Of her resources.
Mr.. Grycc did not seek 10 detain her.
Indeed, he appeared TO be anxious TO leave
the place himself. They, however, stopped
long enough TO cast one final look around
them. As they did so Miss Butterworth's
finger slowly rose.
'See!" said she, you can hardly per.

the stair landing. Wouldn't you say that
il was In the midst OF those folds OF dark
colored tapestry up there!'
Eyes, | had already located that spot as
the one. With the picture hung up on the
other side, il would be quite invisible"
One needs to keep ones eyes moving in
a case like this. That picture must have
been drawn aside several times while we
were in this room. Yet we failed to notice
it,"
THAT was from not looking high enough.
High and low, Mr.. Gryce! What goes on
at the level Of the eye is apparent to ev.
eryone."
The smile with which he acknowledged
this parting shot and prepared TO escort
her to the door had less Of irony than sad
ness in il. Was he beginning TO realize
that years tell even on the most sagacious,
and that neither high places nor low
would have escaped his attention dozen
years before!

Pardon me, sir, but will you hear me
out? At the Imperial, where they were
married, learned that the father and
daughter had registered as coming from a
small place in Pennsylvania; but | could
learn nothing in regard to the bridegroom.
He had not appeared on the scene till the
time for the ceremony, and after the mar
riage was seen to take his bride away in
one carriage, while the old gentleman de-
parted in another. The latter concerned
me little; it was the young couple | had
been detailed to find. Employing the
usual means of search, ! tracked them to
the Waldorf, where | learned what makes
it certain that ] have been following the
right couple. On the afternoon of the
husband and wife left the hotel on foot
and did not come back. Their clothes,
which had all been left behind, were taken
away two days later by an elderly gentle
man who said he was her father, and
whose appearance comedies with that of
the person registering as such at the I'm
perial. All of which looks favorable to
my theory, does it not, especially when
you remember that the bridegroom's
name"
"You have not told it."
Is Adams, Thomas Adams. Same fam
lily as the murdered man, you see. At
least he has the same name"
Mr.. GIyce surveyed the young man
with admiration, but was not yet disposed
to yield him entire credence.
''Humph | do not wonder you thought
it worth your while to follow up the pair,
if one of them is named Adams and the
other Eva. But, Sweetwater, the longer
you serve on the force the more you will
learn that condolences as strange and I'M
expected as these do occur at times, and
must be taken into account in the eluci-
dation of a difficult problem Much as I
may regret to throw cold water on your
hopes, there are reasons for believing that
the young man and woman whom we are
seeking are not the ones you have busted |
yourself about for the last two days Ger !
tain facts which have come to light would |
seem to show that if she had husband |
At all, his name would not be Thomas |
Adams, but Felix, and as the facts I have |
% bring forward are most direct and I'M
| fear you will have to start
,gain, and on a new tack"
But Sweetwater remained mistaken,
md eyed his superior with vague smile
playing about his lips.
"You have not asked me, sir where l
lave spent all the time which has elapsed
ince l saw you last. The investigations !
AVE mentioned did not absorb more than
day."
VERY true. Where have you been,
'weetwater"
ITO Montgomery, sir, to that small
own in Pennsylvania from which Mr..
'oindexter and his daughter registered"
"Ah, | see! And what did you learn
here? Something directly to the point?'
Il learned this, that John Poindexter,
lther of Eva, had for friend in early d
fe one Amos Cadwalader." II
"Amos!" repeated Mr.. Gryee, with an {

tell you how? Hunting through the list
of such persons as had been married
within the city limits during the last two
weeks, | came upon the name of one Eva

known in the house on street. | de

man who had performed the ceremony
He was a kind and affabe dominic, sir,
and ! had no trouble in talking to him. y
"And you described the bride?"
mo, ! led the conversation so that he
described her."
Good; and what kind of a woman did
he make her out to be? Delicate? Pale?'
lovely a bride in years. Very slight, al
most fragile, but beautiful, and with a
delicate bloom which showed her to be
in better health than one would judge
from her dainty figure. It was a private
wedding, sir, celebrated in hotel parlor;
but her father was with her"
'Her father?" Mr.. Gryce's theory re-
ceived its first shock Then the old man
who had laughed on leaving Mr.. Adams's
house was not the father to whom those
few lines in Mr.. Adams's handwriting
were addressed. Or this young woman
was not the person referred to in those
lines.
"Ts there anything wrong about that?"
inquired Sweetwater.
Mr.. Gryce became impassive again.
"No; had not expected his attendance
at the wedding; that is all"
"Sorry, sir but there is no doubt about
his having been there. The bridegroom
eyes, tell me about the bridegroom"
"Was the very man you described to
me as leaving Mr.. Adams's house with
her. Tall, finely developed, with grand
air and gentlemanly manners. Even his
clothes correspond with what you told me
to expect: checked suit, brown in color,
and of the latest cut. Oh, he is the man!''
Mr.. Gryce, with suddenly developed
interest in the lid of his ink-stand, re-
called the lines which Mr.. Adams had
written Immediately before his death, and
found himself wholly at sea. How rec
oncile facts so Numerically opposed?
What allusion could there be in these lines
to the new-made bride of another man?
They read, rather, as if she were his own
bride, as witness:
return your daughter to you. She
is here. Neither she nor you will ever
see me again. Remember Evelyn!
Amos's Son.
There must be something wrong.
Sweetwater must have been led astray by
a series of extraordinary condolences.
Dropping the lid of the ink-stand in a
way to make the young man smile, he
looked up.
Pm afraid it's been fool chase.
Sweetwater. The facts you relate in re-
gard to this couple, the fact of their hav-
ing been married at all, tally SO little |
with what we have been led to expect
from certain other evidences which have
come in"

The apple is the pre-eminent fruit
of the north temperate zone, and its
history is contemporaneous with that
of civilized man in the same reg
ions. Indeed, its'fame antedates that
of authentic history, since it is often
named in Legendary and NEUROLOGICAL
lore, even the Edenic fruit of the tree
of knowledge is popularity referred to
as an apple. and in the Geek and
Roman legands the apple is mention
ed as food for the gods and as the
coveted prize in the supremacy con-
test between the Goddesses of Wis
dom and Beauty. which shows that it
was at least typical Of what was the
choicest among the products of the
earth.

myths of the North, where it was
supposed to confer immortality on
the human partaker, should he be
permitted to taste it, and was, there
fore, carefully guarded and reserved
