oOdd enough if you are correct in your

"sweetwater, how came you to disooN-
ar that Mr. Dunn, of this ramshackle item
sment in Hicks street, was identical. with
the elegantly equipped admirer of Miss
ChaIOner?'

Cbaloners death l was brooding very
deeply over the Hicks street case 1t had

street on my way from F1atbush; as If
staring at the house and its swarming
courtyard was going to settle any such

crossing the courtyard and wandering
INTO the rear of the building where the
crime had occurred. But my attention
was diverted and my mind changed by
seeing man coming down the stairs be-

unfairly stopped to look at him. Had he
moved a little less carelessly, had he
worn his workman's clothes a little less
naturally, ] should have thought him
some college bred man out on a Summing
expedition. But he was entirely too much
al home where he was, and too uncon-
scious of his jeans for any such con-
clusion on my part, and when he had
passed out l had enough curiosity to ask
who he was

no wise abated when l learned that he
was that highly respectable tenant whose
window had been open at the time when
half the inmates of the two buildings
had rushed up to his door, only to find
paper on 1t displaying these words

Had he returned at that hour? l don't
think anybody had ever asked and what
reason had 1 for such interference now?
But an idea once planted in my brain
sticks tight, and / kept thinking Of this
man all the way to the bridge Instinc-
lively and quite against my will I found
myself connecting him with some pre-
vious remembrance in which l seemed to
