the amateur tars was on watch. The
night was clear and myriads of stars
twinkled In the sky, but there was no

covered from the shock occasioned by
this unseamanlike answer he looked
over the rail in the direction indicat-

he had another fit. What's the
matter with you?" growled the officer.

I found what may be a possible clew
in the dust heap.
Mrs. Carter tells me that in un-
packing his grip the other day she

some are missing. / am not discour-
aged, however"
He spread out some bits of yellow
paper, and we bent over them curious,
ly 1t was something like this;

We spelled it out slowly.
Now" Hotchkiss announced, Il
make it something like this: The p

the latter view, as the pocketbook had

I took the piece Of paper from the
table and scrawled four words on 1t.
Now" l said, rearranging them,
sit happens, Mr.. Hotchkiss, that
found one of these pieces of the tele-
gram on the train. I thought 1t had
been dropped by some one else, you
see, but that's immaterial. Arranged
this way it almost makes sense. Fill
out that p with the rest of the
word. as | imagine it, and it makes
papers, and add this scrap and you
have:
"Man with papers (in) lower ten,
car seven. Get (them).'"
Mcknight slapped Hotchkiss on the
back.
You're a trump" he said. "Br--is
Bronson, of course. It's almost too
easy. You see, Mr.. Blakeley here en-
gagged lower ten, but found it occupied
by the man who was later murdered
there. The man who did the thing
was a friend of Bronson's, evidently,
and in trying to get the papers we
have the motive for the crime"
There are still some things to be
explained" Mr.. Hotchkiss wiped his
glasses and put them on. For one
thing, Mr.. Blakeley, am puzzled by
that bit of chain
I did not glance at Mcknight. I felt
that the hands with which was
gathering up the bits of torn paper
were shaking. 1t seemed to me that
this astute little man was going to

! in the valise he changed for his own,
the very notes he was after. It was a
bit of luck for him."
"Then why" put in Hotchkiss doubt
fully, why did he collapse when he
heard of the wreck? And what about
the telephone message the station
agent sent? You remember they tried
to countermand it. and with some ex-
element"
1--WE will ask him those questions
when we get him." Mcknight said We
were on the unrailed front porch by
that time, and Hotchkiss had put away
his notebook. The mother of the
twins followed US to the steps.

"The young man upstairs was

was locked on the outside." She
paused to enjoy her sensation.

Hotchkiss said promptly, but for some
reason the woman demurred. Il will
bring the key down." she said and dis

held out an ordinary door key of the
cheapest variety.

unteered, "and the key didn't turn up
for two days. Then one Of the twins

who showed an inclination to drop it.
"You don't think he locked the door
himself and threw the key out of the

'The windows are covered with

orders from some mysterious person.

two weeks, let out the secret on We'd
nesday morning that these money or
ders are made payable to the sender.
1t was generally supposed that the
orders were made out to Justice
Crutchfield, and the new fact. in the
strange string OF letters has only tend
ed to Increase the mystery connected
with the missives.
All OF the orders are payable to
Pat Hayes, and it Is he who has sign
ed the letters received by the justice.
About two weeks ago Justice Crutch-
field received a money order for SO
cents from Tullahoma, Ala. This was
followed by another order from Win
chester, Tenn, for the sum OF rs
cents. The third order was sent from
New Decatur, Ala, and called for ~.
Whether theo rders will continue to
arrive and whether each will be for
26 cents more than the one preceding

not answer.
In one of the letters Pat Hayes, who
Is unknown to Justice Crutchfield,
stated that he wished to thank the
justice for the hospitality extended
during a sojourn OF two months In
Richmond. In that time, Hayes
wrote, he had been reformed, and
