SYNOPSIS.

George Anderson and wife SEQ 9 re-
msrkable looking man come out OF the
Clermont hotel, look around furtively,
wash his hands in the snow and pass on.
C1mmotion attracts them to the Ciermont,
where II is found that the beautiful Miss
Edith Chalioner has fallen dead. Ander-
son describes the man he saw wash his
1ands In the snow. The hotel manager
declares him to be Orlando Brotherson.
Physicians find that Miss Challoner was
stabbed and not shot. which seems to
clear Brotherson of suspicion. Gryce. an
aged detective. and Sweetwater, his as
sstant. take up the case They believe
MISS Challoner stabbed herself. A paper
cutter found near the scene OF tragedy Is
believed to be the weapon used. Mr.. Chal-
toner tells of batch OF letters found in
MS daughter's desk, signed 20. B." All
are love letters except one which shows
that the writer was displeased. This let
Yer was signed by Orlando Brotherson.
Anderson goes with Sweetwater to iden-

Just this way. The night before
Miss Challoner's death was broodins
very deeply over the Hicks street

from Flatbush. I walked by the place
and looked up at the windows No

and entered the house with the fool
intention OF crossing the courtyard
and wandering into the rear building
where the crime had occurred. But
my attention was diverted and my
mind changed by seeing a man COM

reason why should connect sudden
alarm in the lobby of the Clermont
with any cause Of special interest to

This was so true and the look which
accompanied the words was so frank
that the coroner hesitated a moment
before he said:
Certainly not, unless-well, to be
direct, unless you had just seen Miss
Challoner and knew her state of mind
and what was likely to follow your
abrupt departure"
II had no interview with Miss Chal-
loner."

ton closely and missed nothing which
could In any way throw light on the
case. II was a mysterious one from
the first, and lost nothing by further
inquiry into the details.
THE first fact to startle us as we
made our way up through the crowd
which blocked halls and staircases
was this A doctor had been found
and, though he had been forbidden to
make more than cursory examina-
ton OF the body I'LL the coroner came,
he had not hesitated to declare after
his first look. that the wound had not
been made by bullet but by some
sharp and slender weapon thrust
home by q powerful hand. (You mark
that, Mr.. Gryce.) AS this seemed i'm
| possible In face OF the fact that the
door had been found buttoned on the
inside, we did not give much credit to
his opinion and began our work under
the obvious theory of an accidental
discharge of some gun from one OF the
windows across the court. But the
doctor was nearer right than we sup
posed. When the coroner came to
look into the matter, he discovered
that the wound was not only too small
to have been made by the ordinary
bullet, but that there was no bullet to
be found In the woman's body or any
where else. Her heart had been
reached by q thrust and not by a shot
from a gun. Mr.. Gryce. have you
not heard q startling repetition OF
this report In case nearer at hand?
