grace"
For moment | felt that I was on
the track of the solution of the mys-
terry. Some speeter from the generals
past had risen to haunt his declining
years, 70 threaten his good name, to
worry him into his grave. His elder
daughter had discovered it and had
been unable to carry the burden of
shame. Could this have been the
secret that these two shared and kept
Louise in ignorance of? A word from
Louise all at once upset my theory

was confession.
There was nothing to be gained by
further questioning of the janitor.
From the manner of Crandall's depar-
ture 1t would be useless to look for
him at either of the clubs to which he
belonged. l might try to trace him
through the taxicab, which he had
probably called from the University
Club near by. but that could wait until
later. Just now l felt 1t my duty to
hasten back to Louise and tell her of
this new development.

The grateful look Louise gave me as
| left imbued me with a new and
wholly delightful sense of RESPONSE
bility. The ten minutes It took me to
reach Crandall's rooms were filled
with that ineoherent bliss that comes
to every man who realizes for the first
time what it means TO have a wom-
ans confidence entirely his.

modelled mansions so common in that
