An hour later we were in the office
of the BloOmingdale asylum.

There oughtn't to be n trouble

Perhaps she was registered under
another name" I suggested.
Yes. that's very likely" Godfrey adj
mltteG. May I see the record, doctor?
Perhaps I'll be able to pick her out.
Cases that stay here that length of
time aren't very common, are they"
No; they're rather exceptional; be-
sides, 20 years ago, we hadn't so many
as we have today"
Godfrey was examining the index.
IF there's no other way, we can Sift

about a case which was a good cal
like yours-only that was for an Italian
conan Harriet Parello.
Godfrey's lips were twitching and his
finger trembled a little as he ran it
down the column Of names, but when
he spoke, his tone was the most cas-
ual.
Yes" he said, here she is-Harriet
Parello. She was brought here from
West Twenty-seventh street." and he
named the number. Not a very savory
locality, is 1t, dOctor?"
No; though one can't tell what it
was 20 years ago"
That's true. l don't suppose you re-
member anything about her?"
NO; 1 wasn't here at that time"
Godfrey was still running down the
column of names, and was seemingly
little interested in the Parello case.
The husband rather impressed me-"
went on the chief. Rather a handsome
fellow in his day. but now evidently a
wreck-and a perfect brute morally
or so 1 judge"
What did he want ?" inquired God
frey negligently.
He wanted. to know what had be-
come of her. / thought it peculiar he
should have waited so long to make
inquiries"
Were you able to help him out?"
"Oh, yes; our records give the his
tory of every case"
Godfrey closed the index, evidently
disappointed.
II don't see any trace here OF the
case I'm looking for" he said. May
be she didn't come here. after all. But

The HE ooked at him for a moment
in establishment, then turned back to
his book.
Her sister. Miss Lucy Kingdom. Of
Elizabeth, New Jersey. was notified at
her request" he continued, and came
after her. There have been no reports

Godfrey, permitting some of his salts

again, rafting westward across the
city. Nothing a break 1t. All we
need now is to earn the story Of the

And that's what we're going after?"
"Yes-but It's a chance. Twenty
years. in a neighborhood like that. are
certain to work great changes. It's
long chance. Ten to one, there'll be
nobody there who remembers Parello."
And he was right: The block in which
was the number we sought had been
converted into q street car barn. There
were no longer any Italians In the
neighhorhood-it had become an out
