 The fight ID the dingy lodging house parlor was burning full. but the nali was dark l stopped inside ana lighted a cigarette
 Life. liberty and the pursuit Of hap piness. Macr 1 said Eve got the first two. and the other can be had. for the pursuit"
 Mac did not reply; he was staring Into the parlor. Elsa Lee was standing by table looking at me.
 She was very nervous an1 tried to explain her presence Tn a breath-with the result that she broke down utterly and had to stop. Mac. his jovial face rather startled. was making for the stairs; but l sternly brought him back and presented him. WhereOn. being utterly confuunded. he made the tactful remark that he would have to go and put out the milk bottles; 1t was almost morningl
 She had been waiting since 10 o'clock. she said taxicab, with her maid. was at the door They were going back to New York in the morn ing and things were terribly wrong
 There are detectives watching Mar shall. We saw one today at the hotel If the jury disagrees-and the lawyers think they will-they will arrest him"
 thought it probable There was nothing l could say.
 T was to ask you to do something" she said. None of us can. for we are being watched was probably fol. lowed here. The Ella is still in the river, with only a watchman on board. We want you to go there tonight if you can"
 ITO the Ellay'
 She was feeling in her pocketbock. and now she held out to me an envel. ope addressed in sprawling hand to Mir. Turner at bis hotel
 "Am 1 to open it?' Please"
 unfolded a sheet of ruled note pa- per of the most ordinary variety. 1t | had been opened and lahi fat. and on ] it in black ink was a crude drawing of the deck of the Ella as one would look down on 1t from aloft Here and there were small crosses in red ink and over | lying 1t all from bow to stern a red ax | Around the border, not written, but l printed in childish letters, were the words: Not yet Ha. ha." In cor ner was a drawing of Q gallows or what passes in the everyday mind for a gallows and in the opposite corner an | open book.
 ] You see," she said, it was mailed downtown late this afternoon. The hotel got 1t at o'clock. Marshall ! wanted to get a detective. but 1 thought of you. 1 knew-you knew the boat and then-you had said"-
 Anything in ali the world that can do to help you I will do." said, look ing ar her And the thing that could not keep out of my eyes made her drop hers.
 Sweet little documentp' said Me ! Whirter looking over my shoulder. Sent by some one with a nice dispOsi- uon. What do the crosses mark?"
 'The location of the bodies when found." I eIplained--"these three. This looks like the place where Burns lay unconscious. That one near the rail I don't know about. nor this by the mainmast."
 We thought they might mark places, clews, perhaps, that bad been overlooked. The whole-the whole document is a taunt. isn't 1t? The scaffold and the ax and not yet: a piece of bravadoF'
 Right you are" said McWhirter ad- miringly. "A little escape of glee from somebody who's laughing too soon. One-thirty-it will soon be the proper hour for something to happen on the Ella. won't it? 1T that was sent by some member of the crew-and it looks like 1t; they are loose today the quick. CT we follow 1t up the better if there's anything to follow"
 We thought If you would go early in the morning before any of them make an excuse to go back on board"-
 We will go right way; but, please- l Nvh buAAh LoO luuCn Ou Lulh- AA D d good possibility. that's all. Will the watchman let us on boardY'

 ''I will"
 ''Then-if you should find anything bring it to us; to the police later, if you must, but to us first"
 She held out her hand. first to Mic. Whirter, then to me kept 1t a little longer than l should have. perhaps and she did not take 1t away.
 ''It is such a comfort" |" she said. "tc have you with us and not against usi For Marshall didn't do it. Lesne-I mean--it is hard for me to think of you as Dr, Leslie! He didn't do it. Al first we thought he might have. and he was deliriOus and could not reassurC us. He swears he did not 1 think just at first he was afraid he bad done it, but he did not believe that, ana you must"
