CHAPTER XVII.
The End of the Mystery.

The End of the Mystery.
With one of the conspirators lying
IN the undertaking shop of Miller
vale and the other safe behind the
prison bars in Ardway, the docu-
mentary evidence against him in our
possession reinforced by his full con
fession signed and witnessed, Inspec-
tor Davis and I that same afternoon
fastened back to New York, where,
it a be imagined. 1 lost no time in
reaching the Parrish home.
AS we waited for the train I had
telephoned Louise and she was ex-
pecting me. She met me in the lower
hall. One glance at my radiant face
told her that our mission had been
successful and she flung herself into
my arms while I rained happy kisses
on her lips, her cheeks, her glorious
hair. But thoughtful ever of others,
even in such a moment of ecstasy,
she gently unclasped my arms and
whispered: "The papers-did you get
them?"
A little cry Of joy came from her
lips as l handed her the envelope.
Come" she cried jubilantly, Tets
take it t. Katharine at once! The
sight of it will do more to cure her
than all the doctors in the world"
Together we fastened to Kath-
arine's room, where we found her sit
ting up in bed, much stronger than
when I had last seen her, though a
nurse was still in attendance. Hugh
Crandall was seated in a chair beside
the bed. The joy I read in the faces
of Katharine and Crandall as Louise
handed her sister the envelope vas
reward enough for all | had gone
through since 1 had set out to solve
the mystery.
Frantically Katharine tore open the
envelope and inspected three docu-
ments it contained.
''They are all here" she exclaimed
with a sigh of relief as she passed
them to Crandall.
eyes," echoed Crandall happily,
"they are all here"
"Burn them, Hugh; burn them at
once,'' she demanded.
Crandall, gathering them up with
the envelope in which they had been
encased, crossed to the CRATE where
a cheerful fire was burning and one
by one fed the documents to the
flames, watching carefully to sec that
every fragment was destroyed.
That was three months ago. Louise
and [ are married now and Katharine
and Hugh are on their honeymoon,
too, taking a six months European
trip. Though we never mention the
mystery of the yellow letters in the
presence Of our wives, for it recalls
too many sad memories unnecessarily,

The mystery Of the disappearance
of the yellow fragments that had Civ
en- us the first clew is a mystery no
longer. 1t merely had slipped behind
the drawer in which Louise had put
it. Aleck Young is serving a we'll
deserved sentence of fourteen years,
as nOnchalantly, 1 presume, as he I'M
derwent his trial. So long as prison
keepers can be bribed to keep him
supplied with his beloved drug,
doubt if he bothers over his lack of
freedom. Sometimes I think his pun
ishnent falls far short when | recall
all the misery and suffering he
caused, yet my new-found happiness
has softened my view of life. [ find
myself wondering whether after all
Inspector Davis is not right when he
says that criminals, even the worst
Of them, should be treated as sick
children, to be cured, rather than as
bad children, to be punished. I can
not help but feel that the parents of
Young were far more to blame for his
crime than he.
AS for General Parrish, he died
three weeks after Young's arrest.
Before the end he regained his facul-
ties sufficiently to understand that the
papers that had menaced his peace
and reputation had been destroyed.
In his last hour he put Katharine's
hand into Hugh CrandalI's.
What was in the documents that
Katharine and Hugh Crandall burned?
What was the secret with which
Young threatened him for months and
months?

Louise does not know.
We never discuss it even among
ourselves. 1t is better SO. Only
Katharine and Hugh Crandall and a
poor drug sot in a distant cell know
what those papers were. I might
conjecture if l cared, and what would
be the use? After General Farrish's
death it came out that his vast estate
had shrunk to almost nothing. I'm
fortunate investments in his old age
had swept away his fortune. He was
the custodian Of various trust funds.
1t may be that in a senile effort to
recoup his losses he had misused
some one else's money and Young,
with his devilish ingenuity, had
found it out. Certain it is that while
the papers commented widely on the
small estate he left, in none of them
was there the slightest hint of a
dal. Equally certain am l that neither
his daughters nor his sons-in-law be-

Superstition Royalty Respects.

Canterbury Cathedral, like most
Gothic cathedrals, is decorated with
innumerable inches for statues. AT
Canterbury series Of these inches Ia
occupied with statues Of kings and
queens Of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied.
An old tradition has 1t that when
all the inches are filed the throne OF
England will come to an end. Queen
Victoria was approached with view
to a statue of herself being placed in
one Of the four remaining inches, but
her late majesty was aware of the old
tradition, and refused.
