say the thief had a key to the front

say the thief had a key to the front
door. How do you account for an
outsider possessing that?"
! wondered if she had forgotten
the incident of my keys having been
for some days in the possession Of
the maid and the possibility Of du-
plicates easily made from the original.
hesitated for a moment as | idly
turned the pages OF a book that she
might have time to recall this circum-
stance, but she merely sat placidly
surveying me and I thought it would
be better taste not to mention It. Her
confidence in Janet seemed to be
complete, and of course in matters of
this kind if the maid was guilty her
mistress would be the last one in
whom she would contide. I therefore
decided to abandon the subject for
the time.
Il do not attempt to account for 1t, /"
returned slowly. But as must be
apparent to you, my cousin Bruce is
under suspicion In some quarters, and
believing from the bottom Of my heart
that he is innocent, I am trying to
evolve theory which will let him
out despite his own obstinacy and
seeming determination to keep HIM
self In. I was merely trying to dis
cover all possible leaks through which
the information might have escaped.
have told Mr.. LeDuc everything and
you need not be surprised IL he calls
upon you. But he is a gentleman and
you need have no hesitancy about
talking to him freely
She appeared trihe annoyed at
this prospect, but after moments
reflection, wherein her brow was
clouded, she drew long breath.
Poor Bruce" she said sympathetical-
~. st would be shame if he should
somehow get dragged into this In
the few times met him learned to adj
mire him very much. 1t is impossible
that he Is guilty. simply know he is
not. sincerely hope that he may
clear himself without publicity"
Amen" / responded heartily.

at is Plain, unmtisated, unaduterated Forgery"

writing is also fair counterfeit. Any
way, it is good enough to fool almost
any one, and I do not blame you in
the least for having been deceived.
Don't feel worried about it, for it is
not your fault at all. Nevertheless,
there is something wrong about it and
| don't understand it." I thrust the
card into my pocket and returned to
my rooms a great deal more perplexed
than / had been when ] left them.
Hastily I attempted to rsn over in
my mind the people who could by any
possibility have had access to my
private stationery, but was obliged
to dismiss that thought when real
lied that my cards were scattered
throughout the entire list of my ac-
quaintances and that my card case
containing a number of them was still
missing The field OF possibilities in
this direction was too large for me
to form even remote conjecture, and
/ was drawn to the conclusion that 1t
In all probability was the work of
some clever sneak thief who had
found my card case and then written
the note upon it. But even that was
an explanation which explained
nothing. Granting that a petty rascal
had picked up the cards containing
my name and address, how was he
able to SO closely counterfeit my
handwriting; and more mysterious
than all else, how did he know that /

lngly little impatient at my stupid
ity.
THE note on your card which you
sent me only yesterday saying that
| was to give it to the tailor she re-
torted. ! could only repeat somewhat
more emphaticalIy that l had done no
such thing.
She threw down her towel with a
sniff and began rumaging about
among the odds and ends Of a shelf.
Presently she picked up small piece
OF cardboard. which she handed me
with an expression Of triumph. Very
Well just read 1t for yourself then.
If that is not your card and writing
! cannot trust my eyes, and II l can
not trust my eyes the Lord knows
what can trust. And that is all l
have got to say about that" seized
the piece of paper and glanced at 1t.
1t was certainly either one of my
cards or perfect imitation, and hav-
ing satisfied myself on that point
turned 1t over and saw written on the
back few lines, which while certain
~ bearing a strong resemblance to
my chirography when ] scribble in a
hurry, were as certainly not mine.
