THE BEST SHE
 COULD DO

Young Mrs. Allison extracted five hatpins and removed an enormous straw hat from her carefully built-up coiffure. She laid the hat beside her on the sofa and regarded 1t with a look such as the proyerbial hen might have bestowed upon her mysterious ducklings
 The other members of the sewing circle gazed silently at the spectacle

 'Sut, dear," said the timid young matron in mauve broadcloth. why. if you don't like It. did you"
 She broke off in confusion in the face of young Mrs, Allison's scornful expression.
 "The ideal" exclaimed the owner of the hat disgustedly. You dont suppose for moment that | bought this incredible horror because I want ed 1t, do you?"
 Then why" began again the timid young matron in mauve. her puzzled look becoming more and more appealing.
 Well" said young Mrs Alison. "I went to every hat shop in this large and cosmopolitan city and found noth ing, absolutely nothing, smaller than that tea table" She indicated the ineffepsive piece of furniture sar- castically with orc of her five hat. pins. ''I tried on everything from cherry trinsned coal scuttle to a flow CT decked parachute. and finally bought this in set-defense. because l wanted to go to a tea yesterday aft ernoon and every one seemed to think beaver to6ue was wholly out of the question at this time of year"

cial, but did not meet 1t. The coroner
had turned bis attention to the table
again and, while betraying no en-
barrassment, was not quite his usual
self. The district attorneys hand
stole to his chin, which he softly
rubbed with his can forefinger as he
again addressed Sweetwater.
The story which followed Is too well
known to us for repetition. Sweetwa-
ter listened with swapping eyes to all
that was said, and when he had been
given the various clews indicating the
presence Of a third and as yet I'M
known party oil the scene Of crime
he rose exeitedly to his feet and, de-
claring that 1t was a most promising
case, begged permission to make his
own Investigations at the Whispering
Pines, after which. he would be quite
ready to begin his search for the man
III the derby hat and high coat collar,
whose love for wine was so great that
he chose and carried of the two choicest
bottles that the clubhouse contained.

behind, bot not before be had noted
this door and the vide and ~hospltable

II am willing to go all odds that I
shall find that veranda the most IN

marked in quiet conviction to himself
as he noted its nearness to the stable
and the ease with which one could
step from It into a vehicle passing
down the driveway.
1t had another point Of interest, or,
rather, the wing had TO which It was
attached. AS his eye Travelled back
acros this wing in his lively walk
toward the stable he caught a pass
ing glimpse Of q nurses face and fig
ure in n of its upper windows.
Once around the corner, he peTceiy-
ed that the stable door was closed,
but that a window well up the garden
side was open. Encountering no
watchful eye, he stepped up to the
stable window and peered in.
A man sat with his back to him pol
ishing a bit of harness. This was prob
ably Zadok, the coachman. Sweetwa-
ter suddenly experienced a momenta-
ry confusion by observing the head
and shoulders of Policeman Hexford
leaning toward him from an opposite
window-in much the anne fashion
and certainly with exactly the same
intent as himself. AS their glances
crossed both flushed and drew back,
only to return again, each to his sever
al peephole. Neither meant to lose
the advantage of the moment. Both

explained simply.

that was for her name.

forward reply, and this ended the IN
terview.
Sweetwater went on up the hill.
Toward the top he came upon a livery
stable. Stopping in his good humored
way, he entered into talk with II mar
lettering inside the great door. Be
fore he left him he had asked him
these questions:

BILE family. There's a funeral there
today
"Not Miss Cumberland'sf" exclaim-
sd Sweetwater, all agog in a moment.
Eyes, Miss Cumberland's."
The next turn Sweetwater took was
toward the handsome residence dis
trict browning the hill.
Fifteen minutes later he stood in a
finely wooded street before an open
gateway guarded by a policeman.
Showing his badge, he passed In and
entered a long and slightly curved
driveway. AS he did so he took a
glance at the house. It was not as pre-
tentious as he expected, but infinitely
more inviting.
The ceremonies had been set for 3
o'clock, and it was now half past 2.
As Sweetwater reached the head of
the driveway he saw the first Of a
long file Of carriages approaching up
the street

"You are acquainted with Miss Car

"If 1 am not the town is full of PEG

Mr.. Fox placed the pieces back in
their envelope and laid the whole care
fully away.

"You can cancel the Obligation" was
the quick retort, "by discovering the
identity Of the mar who, in derby hat

glance Of startled inquiry which DR..

shaggy eyebrows.
s'Well, we'I1 undertake that, too"
promised the district attorney.

Charles Clifton, rising to depart. "The
confronting of that man with Rane-
lagh will cause the latter to unseal
his lips. Before you have finished
with my client you will esteem him
much more highly than you do now"
Caleb Sweetwater Of the New York
police department, who entered the
room after Clifton departed, was no
beauty. He was plain featured to the
feint Of ugliness. His receding chin
and far too projecting nose were not
likely to create a favorable impression
on one ignorant of his cheerful, mod
est, winsome disposition.
"Mr. Sweetwater," said the district

Cincinnati, March 24.-After five
days of what might be termed legal
turbulence in the George b. Cox per-
jury case. the week promises to close

This condition is brought about by
the fact that both sides must await

affidavits filed by Prosecutor Hunt in
which he alleged that Judges Swing

Coincident with the lull in the case

several witnesses on minor police
cases adjourned today until Monday
