Strange Doings for George.
That evening George sat so long

my absorbing interest in the topic en-.
crossing me, fell asleep In my coy
little rocking chair. was awakened
by what seemed like a kiss falling
very softly on my forehead, though, to
be sure, it may have been only the
flap of Georges coat sleeve as he
stopped over me.

"and trot away to bed. I'm going out
and may not be in till daybreak."
You! going out! at ten O'Clock
ut night, tired as you areas we both
are! What has happened-Ah!"
This broken exclamation escaped
me as I perceived in the dim back
ground by the sitting-room door, the
figure of a man who called up recent,
but very thrilling experiences.
Mr.. Sweetwater," explained George.

He gave me q little good advice as
to how had better employ my time

"A threat!
The words sprang from Sweetwater
and were evidently involuntary.
1T is the only letter of them al
which conveys anything like re

resentment equally SO. If the two me,

a characteristic shrug and smile, the

A quarter of an hour of rather fast
riding brought them into a tangle OF
streets on the East side.
When they stopped, which was in a
few minutes, Sweetwater said to
George:

The two took car which eventual
ly brought them into one of the oldest
quarters of the Borough of Brooklyn.
The sleet which had stung their
faces in the streets Of New York had
been left behind them somewhere on
the bridge, but the chill was not gone
from the air, and George felt greatly
relieved when Sweetwater paused in
the middle Of long block before q
lofty tenement house of mean appear

to stop, and that from now on, mum

What kind of haunts were these fol-

my poor husband, with the memory OF

Sweetwater seemed to decide for

stepped down the hall into the court

casting inquiring glances up at the
walls above him. Another tenement.

appeared to be one of caution, but
when the two came together at the

spoke quite naturally as he pointed

George felt non-plussed.
But surely" said he, "the gentle
man named Brotherson doesn't live
here"
"The inventor does"
"Oh!"
"And-but I will explain later"
The suppressed excitement con-

The Letters.

Before a table strewn with papers
N the room we have already men
toned as given over to the use OF
the police, sat Doctor Heath in a
mood too thoughtful to notice the en-.
trance Of Mr.. Gryce and Sweetwater
from the dining-room where they had
been having dinner.
However, as the formers tread was
somewhat numbering, the ccroner's
attention was caught before they had
quite. crossed the room, and Sweet

his arm and hand Immediately fell so
as to cover up q portion OF the pa
pers lying nearest to him.
well Gryce, this is dark case"
he observed, as at his bidding the two
detectives took their seats.
Mr.. Gryce nodded; so did Sweetwa-
ter.
"She was not shot. She was not
struck by any other hand; yet she lies
dead from mortal wound in the
breast. Though there is no tangible
proof Of her having inflicted this
wound upon herself, the jury will have
no alternative, fear, than to pro-
nOunce the case one Of suicide
I'm sorry that I've been able to DO
30 little" remarked Mr.. Gryce.
The coroner darted him a quick
look.
"You are not satisfied? You have
some different idea?" he asked.
The detective frowned at his hands
crossed over the top Of his cane, then
shaking his head, replied.
THE verdict you mention is the
only natural one, of course. see that
you have been talking with Mise Chal-
toner's former maid?"
Yes, and she has settled an i'm.
portant point for us. There was a
possibility, Of course, that the paper
cutter which you brought to my no
tice had never gone with her into the
fnezzanine. That she, or some other
person, had dropped it In passing
through the lobby. But this girl az

And Doctor Heath read:
