over the newspapers that in spite of

crossing me, fell asleep in my coy
little rocking chair. l was awakened
by what seemed like a kiss falling
very softly on my forehead, though, to
be sure, 1t may have been only the
flap of Georges coat sleeve as he
stopped over me.

and may not be in till daybreak."
You! going out! at ten O'Clock

are! What has happened-Ah!"

He gave me a little good advice as
to how had better employ my time
in his absence, and was off before |
could find words to answer.
AS soon as the two were in the
street, the detective turned towards
George and said:

The Letters.


Before table strewn with papers,
in 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 coroner's
attention was caught before they had
quite crossed the room, and Sweet
water, with his quick eye, noted how
his arm and hand Immediately fell so
as to cover up a portion of the pa
pers lying nearest to him.
Well Gryce, this is a 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 a 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, l fear, than to pro-
nounce the case one of suicide."'
I'm sorry that I've been able to do
so little" remarked Mr.. Gryce.
The coroner darted him quick
look.
You are not satisfied? You have
some different idea?" he asked
The detective frowned at his hands

through the lobby. But this girl as
sures me that her mistress did not en-

Mr. Gryce's fears were only too well
founded. Though Mr.. McElroy was
kind Enough to point out the exact
spot where he saw Miss Watkins
stoop, no trace of blood was found up-
or the rug which had lain there, nor
had anything of the kind been washed
up by the very careful man who
scrubbed the lobby floor in the early
morning. This was disappointing. as
its presence would have settled the
whole question. When, these efforts
all exhausted, the two detectives faced
each other again In the small room
given up to their use, Mr.. Gryce
showed his Encouragement. Sweet
water watched him in some concern.
then with the persistence which was
