ed himself in front of the drawing board, upon which had been fixed, by means of thumb tacks, a square of rather soft white paper, exhibiting evidence of having been crumpled up and subsequently smoothed out On the paper was a three-quarter draw ing of woman's head, the delicate face beneath waves of short curly hair, turned a little from the left shoulder, which was barely indicated Setting his useful monocle in his eye, Kent examined the work carefully.
 T should take it. he pronounced at length, ito be a sort of a second hand attempt at portrait"
 'sYou recognize it, though?''
 tIt bears a resemblance to the face did that precious work of art come from?"
 Heaven knows! Ching Lung found cobblestone holding it down.
 'sIt isn't a sketch.''
 "What would you call 1t, thenY'
 "A copy. If you had used your eyes on it instead of your temper, you might have seen at once that it is a tracing. Look for yourself, now"
 Taking the magnifying monocle that Kent held out, the artist scrutinized the lines of the picture.
 By love! You're right said he 'It's been transferred through tracing paper and touched up afterward. Rather roughly too. You can see where the copyist has borne down too hard on the lead.''
 Whats your opinion of the likeness If it is the likeness which you sup poser inquired Kent.
 Why, as remember the woman this picture is a good deal idealized. The hair and the eyes are much the same. But the lines of the face in the picture are finer The chin and mouth are more delicate, and the whole ef- feet softer and of a higher type"
 Do you see anything strange about the neck on the left side7'

 Outside in the street, Lawyer Bsin turned to his client. 'sYou didn't look at the Jane Doe paper at all"
 .'No. I'm not so interested in that as in the other.'
 'Something queer about this Blair death? Not another murderT'
 One side of Chester Rents face smiled tNo," said he positively, "certainly not that"
 -.aThere has been a lot of scandal about young Blair, I'm told Perhaps they're burying him as quietly as pos sible just to keep out of the papers"

 well, if a death was crooked I'd want no better man than Breed to help cover 1t. By the way, the sheriff has been away since yesterday afternoon on some business that he kept to him. self.'
 ~That also may mean something" remarked Kent thoughtfully. ''Now, if you'll find out about that newspaper matter I'll go on over to NSedgwick's. You can get me there by telephone"
 In the studio Kent found Sedgwick walking up and down with his hands behind his back and his head for ward.

fz they arrived the telephone bell was ringing with the weary persistence of the long unanswered- To Rents query Lawyer Bain's voice announced:
 @Tve been trying to get you for an hour
 Sorry sA1d Kent. "Is it about the newspapers P
 .sYes,' said the lawyer 'I've got the information" And he stated that four newspapers went regularly to Hedgerow house-the New York Star and Messenger and the Boston Eagle to Alexander Blair and the Boston Free Press to WiIfrid Blair.
 Sedgwick set the Elliott sketch be- side the copy and compared them for a time. Then he fell to wandering desolateIy about the studio. Suddenly he turned, walked over to his friend and laid a hand on his shoulder.
 ''Kent, for the love of heaven, can't you do something for me?"
 ''You mean about the girl9v
 sedgwick nodded 'T can't get my mind to stay on anything else. Evene chis internal puzzle of the pictures doesn't interest me for more than the minute. The longing for her is eating the heart out of me-
 %.My dear Frank said the other quietly. If there were anything I could do, don't you think I'd be doing it? It's very dark tangle.''
 eff there were only something to dor' fretted the artist 'sIt's this cursed inacd6n that is getting my nerver'
 eff that's all." returned Kent slow ly, "Pll give you something to do. And fancy" he added ,grimly, '.it will be sufficiently absorbing to take your mind from your troubles for a time at ieast-''
 Bring it on. I'm ready
 "All in good time. Meantime I am seriously thinking. my dear young friend" said Kent solemnly, "of con sulting an astrologer.''
 You're crazyF' retorted Sedgwick.
 'T wish were for a few hours,' said Kent with entire seriousness. s.It might help."
 well. that's where I'll be if you don't find something for me to do soon. So come on and materialize this promised activity"
 eff you regard a trip to the Martin dale Public library as activity can furnish that much excitement
 What are you going to do there ?''
 Consult the files of the newspapers and pick out likely high class as- trologer from the advertisements 5
 That has mild nutty flavor, but it doesn't exciteeany profound emotion in me except concern for your sanity''
 You've said that before,'' retorted Kent. However. I'm not sure shall take you with me anyway
 Then that isn't the coming adven- ture?'' s'No; nothing so mild and innocuous" Are you, asking me to run some danger? Is it to see her?' said Sedg- | wick eagerly.
 Leave her out of 1t for the present. There is no question of seeing her now. There's an enterprise forward which. if it fails, means the utter damning of reputation. What do you say?"
 Whats the inducement?'' 'sThe probable clearing up of the case we're on When come to tackle it may find that one man could do it | alone. But
 Wait. You're going into it, are you?''

 To fne normal human being the gris- 1y fnsignium of death over p0EtaI is provocative of anything rather than mfrth- But Chester Kent, viewing the crape on Hedgerow house, laughed as he turned to the open road

 A S11arp humming rose in the air and brought the idle counselor to his win ' dow, whence he beheld the prime au- thor of bis bewilderment descending from a car. A minute later the two men were sitting with their feet on one desk, fairly good sign of mutual re Bpect and confidence.

 "Then he doesn't use this postoface?'
