blame him. A more remarkable re-
semblance between two men l have
never seen. One was an inch teller
than the other and some ten pounds
heavier, but otherwise even to their
voices they might have been twins.
To characterize them briefly, quote
the entry of each:
Rudolph Klein, Al years of age,
brewery workman; born Dusseldorf,
Germany; lives at Old Bowery hotel;
arrested Mangle's saloon, Irving place
and Seventeenth street, Detectives
Casey and Peabody, at 11:4o p. m.

nue., Officer Kerrigan, at 11:2O p. m.
The two men had been arrested
within 20 minutes of each other, only
one block apart and less than three

this evening. The motive of all this
must have been something that both
men shared, unless the stranger is
wandering murderous maniac or un
less it be suicide, and If so. and the
stranger had no share in 1t, why did
he not give the alarm and why carry
away the box or bottle of cyanide?
Taking 1t for granted that there was
a motive that both shared, so far as
knowledge is concerned, then l con-
tend that somewhere in this old house
there is a trace of it. 1t must have
been something inner, intimate, secret,
something not of the kitchen, the store
rooms, the nursery, the guest cham
bers, the dining room something in
the center of the old mans life in this
house-this library where he spent
his days-the chamber where he
passed his nights. Let us look very
closely. You take the books, look for
enclosed clippings, pages read many
times or turned down or marked pas
sages. l will take the bric-a-brac and
loose papers"

packet of old letters, the love letters of

turned back to the spoon to exclaim
with pleasure over a point gained.
"See," he cried. "The stranger has

to perform the sorrowful task of max

the cause of death were correct.
When he was gone Rand turned to
me and said:
Have you stopped to think of the
problem we are considering. Duncan
Have you comprehended its amazing
features? A happy, healthy, contented
old man is sitting alone drinking his tea
waiting for the return of his beloved
child companions. A calm. apparently
cheerful stranger enters, SO much
stranger that the butler who has ad'

seen him before, and while finishing a

admit that there was nothing that
conveyed the slightest suggestion.
We went up to the bed chamber and
found 1t entirely barren save that a
very old brass crucifx hung on the
wall curious thing apparently OF
another century. DIR. Macleod said
it had hung there since his boyhood.
When we came down Rand cast a
final glance about the room of trag-
edy, into which the morning sunshine
was now streaming. A faint bit of
vapor had caught his eye. He step
ped quickly to the sill of the library
windows and pointed to the outer
edge.

He opened the samover

Mr. Macleod had been using for a
very short time. He got 1t down on

 Down into the vault tripped Lillian Breed. her dark cheeks red from her brisk morning walk. her dark eyes bright. her scarlet lips parted over her white teeth. 'I hurried in just ahead of Dr. Zelphan. grandfather" she said. "He will be here in a moment. The breakfast bell rang as l came in at the door,"
 With the haste of boy Breed fol- tibules. closing the heavy doors of each one behind him. throwing off the combination of it's lock and turning out the lights beyond.
 "And in all this world only we two know" he said.
 "Mr Kelvin knows" she reminded him.
 "But not the combinations" he has, tened to assure her. Do you know how have won my supremacy? It is by finding big men to do both my plan ming and my executing; by knowing such men when l see them. Kelvin is one of these. and to such a man as he the greatest incentive that can be given him is to show him the tools with which be may work. l showed him these enormous stores of actual cash for that purpose. and the knowi. edge Is safe with him. I know men. This is nUI game of tennis. at which a woman can play. l have taken you into my confidence this far only be- cause in case anything should happen to me l want you to get at the stores that will make you the richest woman in the world.''
 she reminded him.
 Aroused from his momentary forget fitness of his one bugbear. the shrewd specialist whom he had employed to look after his health and who. in that capacity, had become necessarily op- pressive burden, he hurried up through the one room in his house to cess. and with Lillian passed into the hall where Dr. Zelphan stood awaiting them.
 You promised when I left you here at the house this morning to join me at the head of Big lake," he charged Breed. If cannot take your word for longer morning walk. I shall have to stay by you until you do. Put on your hat and heavy coat"
 But breakfast is ready" protested Lillian.
 The doctor peered at her with such open contempt that she flushed and strengthened her shoulders. It was evident that there was something deep ly antagonistic between these two.
 '1f 1 employ man to make me do things l suppose I ought to do them '' Breed laughed and. securing his hat and coat, went out with the Spartan doctor just as Phillip came down the stairway.
 Lillian waited for Phillip and tucked her arm playfully into his as he step ped from the bottom stair. ''l almost had the honor of going in to breakfast with my grandfather" she said gayly. "but see how much greater honor my disappointment brings me-"
 "l admit it." said Phillip, with a smile, ''onIy you are not expressing my merit strongly enough to do me justice"
 In the dining room they found only Mrs. Rensselaer, and her nephew. Mrs. Rensselaer, bowed stitf1y to Phillip.
 ''How charming you are looking this morning. child!" she exclaimed. Did you ever see such picture of health, Herbert?"
 'She is the goddess of the morning." !" he stated. the very Iiqueur of life. the very spirit of spring. the very quintessence of what you may call 'em. Howdy, Miss Lillian?"
