CHAPTER IiI.-(continued.)

my God! My God! Forty thou
sand dollars of money that l toiled
and schemed and saved for gone into
the pockets of loaflng thieves And
l was going to put it in the bank
the first thing Monday morning. Oh,
it's terrible-terrible." He fell to roll
ing his head and cracking the joints
of his fingers In his mental agony as
the officers looked down upon him in
mingled pity and contempt. Present
ly he recovered himself with a start
and demanded to know about his pa
pers; and this time l was glad to be
able TO tell him that so far as | had
observed in my hasty scrutiny, moth
ing had been taken but the money.
He seemed a trifie relieved for the
moment at this information, but soon
fell back into his lamentings. 1t was
one of the most lamentable sights
that | ever looked upon, exhibiting
as it did all that was deplorable in
his nature The captain cleared his
throat and began his examination.
I'VE have made a thorough inspec-
ton of the premises and cannot find
that anything outside of the front
rooms has been tempered with. All
the windows of the unused lower por-
ton are nailed down and the shutters
fastened from the inside. The burglar
alarm is in perfect order and would
have notified the station had anything
been forced open. The locks on the
doors have not been broken, and thcy
are of an intricate Yale pattern that
could not have been picked. Every
thing goes to show that whoever en-
tered did so by means of key to the
front door, since the rear door was
bolted from the inside If he did not
unlock the front door 1t must have
been left open, OF else he was Sc
GREETED I'm tho house beforehand" He
turned to Mrs. Tebbets. Are VOC sure
that everything was locked up last
night when you retired and that no
outsider was secreted anywhere?" She
burst forth eagerly.
And indeed am, sir. ! was down
stairs all the evening. and if the front
door had been open by so much as a
crack l would have known it. al

was not anybody in the house besides
Mr.. Halliday and myself, either. l
swept the whole place yesterday after
noon, closets and all. II anybody had
been under the 3eds my broom would
have found him quick enough, the
rogue" Noting these facts in his
memorandum book the officer contin-
ued dogmaticaily:
Then it comes down to this. Who
ever did this must have done so by
means of a key to the front door. The
back door is still securely bolted from
the inside. and your housekeeper says
she has not had occasion to use 1t
this morning. Therefore, 1t still re-
mains as it was during the night The,

run for the fence. They are too
blamed seductive to fool with and |
don't take any chances with them.
She has got the beauty and graces OF
all the NEUROLOGICAL goddesses COM
bined. but that does not count for
everything. If l remember rightly,
those NEUROLOGICAL goddesses were q
pretty bad lot"
With the instructive desire that
Clare had possessed to fly to his de-
Tense. l now felt myself surging to
Mrs. Dace's. But l held myself in
leash. Even assuming for the sake
OF argument that l should desire to
make fool of myself over her, what
possible object could she have in en-
couraging me to such idiocy?" asked.
He puckered up his mouth and thrust
his hands deep in his pockets.
We'll. now, that is one of the funny
things about women. OF course we
don't know much about them, but we
do know this: We know that the only
reason they care for us is because
they can't get anything better. If the
gods came to earth, the only thing left
for man to do would be to cast him
self like swine into the sea- And
therein Is where we differ from WON
ankind. Man doesn't want angels;
plain mortal woman-provided she is
not too plain, of course-is good
enough for him. But inasmuch as she
can't achieve the gods, on this earth
at least, she turns to man as the next
best substitute. Now you are a strap
ping young fellow, good looking and
all that, and such men have always
interested women from the beginning.
But remember, there are women and
women. Take Glare, for instance.
She is beautiful, too, and keeps her
self looking as attractive as possible
in order to make people like her.
Yet she IS as harmless as a butter
fly. Some others aren't You ought
to know something Of the species be-
fore you pick up a thing just because
it is gaudy. You might get stung"
Absolutely without information con-
corning her beyond what Bruce him
self had confided in me, half angry
at myself that l should take the
trouble to answer him, l nevertheless
yielded to my impulse to defend her.
With considerable emphasis told him
that l should refuse to believe any in
