When Il murder is committed
there is invariably a motive.
Sometimes it is obvious; m
times its presence is masked be-
hind a conple.ity of possibizi-
ties until it is we'll nigh impos-

skein of fact from the warp and
woof ofprobabizity. But always
the motive is there. Look for

the French detective, and in her

in the main he mas right. Yet it
is not always the Obvious wonaan
nor the Obvious motive that is
responsible for a crime. Some

CHAPTER XII.
The Counterfeiter's Den.


HE neighborhood of Washing
ton square. like n or two
other older sections of New
York, is essentially medieval.
In%dividualism is it's most salient char
acteristic. Even the many who live
there to think thoughts of social broth
erhood insist on adhering to their W
particular thoughts. and thus, as in
the middle ages. when a man enters
his dwelling and bars the door he is
free of all danger that his neighbOrs
may intrude on his privacy.
Mrs. Martin recognized that this COM
munity was the ideal n for her
''rooming house. No one would or
could inquire as to the character or Oc-
equations of her oomer No one cared.
Beyond a little printed sign above the
bell pull that protruded from the dingy
brick wall by the door she made no eff
fort to secure dodgers. The few who
came were told that the house was full.
She had three lodgers-all men. These
three came when she took the house
and remained always. No new dodgers
were added to their number and these
never left her house.
They occupied rooms on the second
floor. 1t was a two story and attic
house, with a dining room and kitchen
In the basement. They were not often
in each others rooms. but they met
frequently in the garnet. which vas
scantily but innocently furnished. But

backs of closets and cupboards these
men could instantly avail themselves
Of the tools for a printing trade indus
try that is most severely frowned upon
by the treasurer of the United States.
But that there was no possible oc-
casion for her to appear in the upper
rooms of the house. Mrs. Martin would
never have consented that Miss Mazu-
ret should become a lodger. She had
a back parlor bedroom on the first floor
in which she lodged the girl and felt
that she was as much out of the way
as if she had been in a Broadway
hotel.
Immediately thereafter events moved
with great swiftness. An organ grind
err began haunting the block at all
hours Of the day and night. There
was a man at the newsstand on
the corne across the street. The sa-
looms at either end of the block began
to do a surprisingly good business and
the attic Of the house next door to Mrs.
Martins was rented by a couple Of in
ventors who wanted to work secretly

Winter quarters for the waterfowl at Mohegan park have recently been com pleted by Supt- John Duff, providing more extensive accommodations for them than they had last year. This has been necessary because of the in- creased number of the families of wa terfowl through the hocks of young that have been raised this season.
 The small pond where they were confined this spring before they were given their liberty on the Mohegan park lake has been considerably enlarg- ed The basin was dug out over a larger area towards the lake, and the whole has been enclosed in wire net ting to make a place where the birds will be confined, when it is time to bring them in from the lake.
 Separate Yards.
 It is Supt. Duffs intention to divide the yard itno a number of smaller yards. assigning such a space to each species as is considered advisable, so that the ducks of different varieties and the geese may each have separate compartments in the yard. At the present time there are teal, Pelxin ducks and brown ducks to be provid- ed for as we'll as the Toulouse geese, the wild geese and another variety of geese.
 Deer Growing Sleek and Fat.
 The herd of seven full grown deer and the one fawn have been occupying the new deer yard for some tina now, and are already showing how much better off they are in the new quar- ters. They have grown fat and pros- porous looking and seem much more contented with their surroundings now. Because of the thick cover in the new yard they can easily hide from sight, but Supt Duff finds no trouble in showing them to visitors. as the herd responds to his call and come gal1op ing into the open when he has anyone come to the park who wants to see the

 Graphophone on Sunday.
 Sunday still continues to be the great day for visitors at the park, although there are many walking, driving or riding through there in automobiles on other days in the week. This IS a par ticularly pleasant season for ramples there.
