some facts: they would have been
serviceable. But the letters reveal
nothing except that he knew Doris.
He writes in one of them: Doris is
learning to embroider. It's like a fairy
weaving a cobweb!' Doris isn't a very
common name. She must be the same
little girl to whom Miss Challoner
wrote from time to time"

opened it and held it before her, with
these words:
Then will you be so good as to
glance at this letter and tell me if the
person whose initials you will find at
the bottom happens to be in town at
the present mOment?"
In some establishment now, she
glanced down at the sheet thus boldly
thrust before her, and recognizing the

water in which he read a confusion of
emotions for which he was hardly pre-

But the moment passed and he had

gave such unmistakable evidences of
intended flight, that but one alterna-

said, with an emphasis which could
not fail OF making an impression,

CHAPTER XXI.
A Change.

IT'S all up. I'm beaten on my own
ground" Thus confessed Sweetwater.
In great detection, to himself. But
I'm going to take advantage of the
permission he's just given me and con-
tinue the listening act. Just because
he told me to and just because he
thinks | won't. I'm sure it's no worse
than to spend hours of restless toss

But our young detective did neither

door and handed him note. 1t was
from Gryce and ran thus:
steal off, if you can. and as soon
as you can, and meet me in Twenty
ninth street. A discovery has been
made which alters the whole situa-
ton"

II is to be hoped that the slap he !
gave his breast, at this point, carried
off some OF his superfuous emotion.
You can't account for feeling, Mr..
Gryce. The man has no heart. He's |
as hard as rocks"
You've found no evidence against i
him."
Mo"
Then listen to this. The test with |
the letters failed, because what be
said about them was true. They were
not meant for him Miss Challoner
had another lover
only another | thought there
were a half-dozen, at least"
Another whom she favored. The
letters found in her possession-nOt
the ones she wrote herself. but those
which were written to her over the
signature O. p. were not all from the
same hand. Experts have been busy
with them for a week, and their re-
ports are unanimous. The o. B. who
wrote the threatening lines acknowl-
edged to by Orlando Brotherson, was
not the O. B. who penned all of those
love letters. The similarity in the writ
ing misled us at first, but once the
doubt was raised by Mr.. Challoner's
discovery of an allusion in one of
them which pointed to another writer
than Mr. BrothersOn. and experts had
no difficulty in reaching the decision
have mentioned"
Two o. BIS! Isn't that incredible,
Mr. Gryce?"
Yes, it is incredible; but the in
credible is not the impossible. The
man you've been shadowing denies
that these expressive illusions of Miss
Challoner were meant for him. Let
us see, then. if we can find the man
they were meant for"
The second o. B.?"
Yes"
Sweetvater's face instantly lit up.
DO you mean that latter my
/ egregious failure-am not to be kept
on the ounces seat? That you will
give me this new job?"
Yes. We don't know of a better
man"
I The experimentation does he
/ feel about ito"
He was the first one to mention
you"
And the Inspector"
is glad to see us on a new tack"
A pause, during which the eager
light in the young detectives eye
clouded over. Presently he remarked:
How will the finding of another o.
B. alter Mr.. Brothersons position? To
my mind, this discovery of a more IA
vored rival, brings in an element OF
motive which may rob our self-reliant
friend of some of his complacency
We may further, rather than destroy
our case against Brotherson by locat
ing a second o. B."
Mr.. Gryce's eyes twinkled.
That won't make your task any
more irksome," he smiled. The looI
we thus throw out is as likely t.
catch Brotherson as his rival"
THE prospect grows pleasing
Where am to look for my man."
