out to Ardway, | a more and more
surprised that he had not Investigate
ed further at the post-office. He had
seemed to think hat the clue to the
whole mystery would be found there,
and he had particularly charged me
to find out to whom Lock Box No. IL
had been rented. 1 decided to ask
Miss Cox if she knew anything about it.
Seventeen has never been rented
as long as l have had anything to do
with the office. 1t is away off there
in the corner where it is hard to see
into. There's always been more
boxes than there was any call for. Not
one of them in the lower row rel has
been rented, even in summer, when
there's a lot of city folks out here"
do you ever remember of seeing
any mail addressed to that boX?"
She worked industriously at her
crocheting for a minute or two before
replying and then, putting it aside, said
thoughtfully:
"It's funny that you should have
asked me that"
"Why?"
81 don't know that I've any bust
ness telling you," said Miss Cox, as
she debated with herself whether or
not she was talking too much, but I
am as anxious as anybody to find out
what's become Of Charlie Rouser, and
from what I've seen of you I guess
you're a sight more likely to find him
than Jim Dobbs, the constable. If l
wasn't sure in my own mind that Char
lie hadn't done nothing out of the way,
l don't know as I'd even be telling
you about it. But since you've asked
me, | guess / will"

AS the maids voice interrupted she
gave a start, and reaching her hands
out impulsively to me, in more like
her WI dear voice, said to me:
Harding, I must go. Please trust
me, and please, please, do what l ask
of you. Good-by."
She broke from my encircling hands
and ran t the front door.
By the time l reached it after her
she was already in the car. I tried
to catch the direction she whispered
to the chauffeur but could not. Before
! could collect my thoughts the great
sixty horsepower machine had van
ished around the corner.
Where was she going? 1t seemed
to me that every hour added to the
chain of mysteries in which l had
become involved. l was convinced
that in some way Louise, too, had
been ensnared by the master of crime
who had plotted all this evil, but how,
/ could not imagine. Yet more and
more, it seemed to me, all clues point
ed to Hugh Crandall. What could have
been Louise's motive in denying to
me that he had been in the house?
She must have known it.
/ began to wish that l had taken
Davis advice and remained in Ard
way. Perhaps by this time / would
have had some definite clue. l re
solved to go back there at once. The
inspector seemed to think that that
was the most fruitful field for investi.
cation, and probably he was right
Hailing a taxi, / babe him drive me
to the ferry, but to my great annoy
ance reached it just two minutes toe
late to make a train. Too dispirited
to do anything else, l entered the wait
ing ferryboat, and, sinking into a seat
in the corner, gave myself up to bitter
reflection OF my failure to solve the
problem 1 had set myself. The more
/ thought about it the more firmly
became convinced that 1t was wise tc
disregard LOuise's request. My love
for her, my duty to her, demanded
that I go on.
So absorbed was I in my reflections
that / did not notice that the boat
had reached it's slip, and l was almost
the last to leave it. Just as / stepped
off the gang-plank a huge machine
shot by me, giving me barely time tt
catch a look at the occupants, but il
that fleeing glimpse l recognized
them both.
It was Louise with Hugh Crandall.

actions. / swung off the train at Ard
way and fastened to the hotel, eager
to tell Davis what l had learned about
the movements of Hug Crandall, but
Davis was not there. All that l could
learn was that he had hired a horse
and buggy early in the morning and
had driven off in the direction taken
by Crandall the day before.
IF he is following Crandall's trail"
said | to myself, "he is just a day too
late"
SO long as Davis was not about /
decided / might as well see if the miss
Ing postmaster had been found. AS |
walked up the street l could not help
thinking how dumfounded Davis would
be when he returned from his fruit
less chase for Crandall and listened
to my tale Of CrandaIl's actions. While
he had advised against my return to
the city, he would have to admit that
it had not been without result.
AS entered the p~ost-office l found
that Miss Cox was still in charge.
Approaching the letter window, l babe
her good afternoon and asked if there
was any news of the missing postmas-
ter. 1t was late in the afternoon and
the last mail for the day having been
distributed, she sat c~rocheting. She
motioned to me to come around to
the rear door.
How about it," l asked as / en-
tered the office, has anything been
heard Of Rouser?"
She shook her head.
That's about the eighty-ninth time
I've answered that question to-day,
Seems like the whole town was in
here wanting to know"
HAS the p~ost-ofRce inspector been
here?'
He was in here this morning and
made just the routine examination. He

ise's habit of hiding the key in a vase.
1t began to look as if had a solution
Of this new mystery. Yet it could
hardly be possible for Crandall to
have been in the house for fully half
an hour without Louise knowing it.
Furthermore, why had admittance
been denied me when l first called?
Il saw Hugh Crandall leaving this
house not ten minutes ago." l said.
Really"
Her tone was cold, hard, forced.
though she tried to make it sound nat
ural.
1T was he who broke open your
DESK" / cried. "He wanted to regain
possession of that scrap of paper and
thus remove all evidence of his guilt"
Il am afraid" said Louise with the
manner of offended dignity, that you
are entirely mistaken. l was not
aware that you knew Mr.. Crandall by
sight"
"If that wasn't Hugh Crandall who
came out of your house just now, who
was it?" l asked, my anger at this
man whom / believed responsible for
the chain of evil getting the better
of me. 81 don't know Crandall, but I
know the evil he is responsible for,
for the tragedy of your sister, the
plight of your father, the suicide of
old Andrew Elser, the suicide of that
poor woman out in Ardway. Why, not
an hour ago I helped drag from the
park lake a fifth victim, a poor young
girl, driven to death by another of his
accursed yellow letters. / found the
fragments of it, water-soaked and illeg-
ible, in the lake"
"Mr. Kent" interrupted Louise, "you
were kind enough to undertake a mis-
sion on my behalf and l appreciate it
greatly. Certain circumstances have
arisen that have entirely altered mat
ters. | called you up last night and
asked you to drop ali investigations.
You have said that you love me. By
that love you say you hold for me l
now ask you, nO-mOre-I order you
to make nc further attempts to solve
the mystery-please, Harding, please"
Her voice broke, and with one last
gesture of appeal she flung herself
into a chair and covered her face with
her hands.
Perplexed beyond measure with the
turn affairs had taken, with my heart
aching with sympathy for her, l stood
watching her slender form as it shook
with sobs, trying to make up my mind
what to do. My heart babe me prom
Use her anything, everything if it
would bring her peace of mind, yet
my brain told me that it was best for
her, best for every one, If / should go
ahead as my friend, the inspector,
had advised.
Louise" / began, trying to keep
my voice steady, eff you will answer
me one question"
Don't, Harding, please DON'T" she
sobbed, lifting her tear-stained face
to me in e%ntreaty. you mustn't. You
mustn't ask me any questions. II vol
love me, please do just as 1 say"
Louise" l replied almost sternly,
you are not yourself. Can't you rely
on me? Can't you trust me? Don't
you know that l will do nothing that
is not for the best?"
/ gathered her into my arms and
held her close. l pressed my lips
against her fragrant hair where it
strayed from under her automobile
bonnet. AS she lay unresistiing in my
arms her sobs decreased and she be-
came calmer.
MY darling" I said, 81 know that
Hugh Crandall has been here. | feel
that he has been influencing you

against me. Won't you do what your
heart bids you and tell me every
thing about it,"
She drew a long deep breath and
gently freed herself from my encir-
cling arms and, facing me, looked at
me with firm resolution written all
over her lovely face.
"You must do what I tell you. l
can answer no questions. l wish I
could, but | can't. You mustn't ask
me. It isn't M secret"
