or the yellow letters"
"How do you know" l asked in as
constituent. l had supposed that the
one thing Of Importance we would be
likely to find in Crandall's apartments
would be bundle Of Katharine Far
rish's letters. In fact l took it for
granted that they were what Davis
had been searching for in the desk.
1t seemed to me such an obvious thing
had not suggested 1t to him, yet
here We were after our visit to the
rooms with only two things-the ny

cant. How could Davis possibly know
that this was the address from which
the yellow letters emanated?
"It is simple problem in addition
and subtraction" said Davis. "The
yellow letter connects the Parrish and
Elser cases. Many things connect
Crandall with the Parrish case. A
criminal using the mails for illegal
purposes naturally locates, if possible,
in another state from the scene of his
operations, foreseeing the better
chance of legal delays and possible
escape. A criminal working in New
York naturally seeks New Jersey as
headquarters. If Crandall was cogni-
zant of the yellow letters, whether his
connection was innocent or guilty, he
naturally would have known or would
have tried to find out whence they
came. l went into his rooms with one
question in my mind and soon
found the answer. In Candall's ad-
dress book will there not be some ad-
dress in New Jersey that may give
a clue?' Almost the first thing /
turned to was this one of Lock Box
II. Now in the postal business one Of
the first things we learn is that the
criminal always tries to get a post-ofice
box. For that reason two references
are always required. In spite Of that
precaution, many of the boxes are con-
stantly being used for fraudulent pur-
poses. When We find out who rented
Lock Box IL 1t Ardway, we shall be
close on the trail Of the yellow let

''Were there any letters of Katha-
rine Farrish's in the desk?'' I asked.

edly. 81 saw bundle of letters in
woman's handwriting, but I didn't
even look to see whose they We're"
l was disappointed thus far with the
Inspectors handling of the case. His
disregard of what appeared to me to
be vital evidence and the decision he
had made about this address being
that Of the sender Of the yellow let
ters seemed to me wholly illogical"
You'll grant, Of course, that Gran

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I-Harding Kent calls on
Louise Parrish to propose marriage and
finds the house in great excitement over
the attempted suicide of her sister Kath-
arine. Kent starts an investigation and
finds that Hugh Crandan, sutton for
katharine, who had been forbidden the
house by General Parrish, had talked with
she shot herself. A torn piece of yellow
paper is found, at sight of Which Cen
eral Parrish is stricken with paralysis.

The University of Leyden in Hol-
land was founded in 1875 as a monu-
ment to the gratitude for the nations
deiiverance from foreign enemy. The
Spaniards invaded the Dutch country
in 1874 and laid siege to the town of
Leyden, but the people held out and
refused to surrender. The tactful
puncture of one Of the dikes saved the
nation, driving the Spaniards away.

and continue the investigation my own
way, and yet what had to gain by it?
After all, we had learned very little
except that Crandsll was connected
with the mystery. Where were we
likely to find Crandall? Davis had had
much more experience in tracing men.
He was resourcefu1, as the method in
which he had affected entrance into
CTandalls apartments showed. Just
as I made up my mind that 1 would
be wise to continue to follow his lead,
lacking one of my own, Davis re-
turned, an expression of annoyance on
his face.
Kent" he said, abruptly, you've
got to start at once for Ardway. I had
planned to go out there, but as I have
to appear in court tomorrow there is
no use in my going tonight"
'I'll go first thing in the morning."

and have talk with he.
There's a train out there at four
o'clock this afternoon" he said, look

up in the lobby. cit takes nearly three
hours to get there. Never let a trail

shadow that menaced her home and
those she loved had been dispelled
Yes, Davis was right. would go to
Ardway that evening. l stopped only
long enough to telephone Louise Of
my intention and to go to my rooms
for bag.
eff you have a revolver you'd better
take it with you," said Davis.
II never owned one in my ife," I
replied.
He drew out his own and handed
it to me. 1t was of the hammerless
variety, fiat and almost square,

warned me. tits a magazine gun and
goes off with very light touch"
What do you expect me to find in
Ardway?" | asked him as taxicab
hurried US to the Hudson tunnel.
There are two things. First: find
out if Hugh Crandall is there, when
he arrived and what he has been do
ing. Probably if he is at the hotel
he will b registered under an as
sumed name. Second: find out who
has Lock Box IL. There is a list of
box-owners kept in every office, with
the names of the two references. Find
out all you can without arousing sus-
picion. I'll be out and join you there
tomorrow evening. I'll come out on
this same train. I'll leave it to you
to find a plausible pretext for ques-
tioning the postmaster"
