CHAPTER II.
Search for the Murderer.

1t was some months since Paul Mer-
seins had been seen in the fashionable
Paris salons, and rarely did his old
friends see him at his club. "He has
sown his wild oats and is settling
down." they said.
Paul was an intelligent, congenial
young fellow. He was born with n sil-
yer spoon in his mouth, and had GER
tain income which permitted him to
lead his own life.
He had passed his college examina-
tions brilliantly and had held q high
rank in artistic circles. Upon leaving
college he had announced his inten-
tion Of becoming an artist. He
promptly wrote a book, composed
two waltzes, and scribbled off few
love stories. Then recognizing that
neither music nor literature agreed
with his temperament, he turned his
thoughts to painting.
There was a studio to rent upon tho
same floor upon which he had his
bachelor apartment. He rented 1t and
furnished it sumptuously.
When he presented the upholster-
er's bill to his father, Merseins senior
smiled.

 The Marsdcn schidren sat around tue living room fire and sang Christmas; carols and talked about the millions of people who were sending gifts to loved ones, just as the wise men brought gifts to the Christ Child under the Christmas stars.
 Suddenly they noticed that Clarice was very thoughtful.
 What is the matter, Sis?' asked Gordon, the oldest boy.
 Il am thinking of our dear woods people and how the snow has covered their food so that they may starve to death while We are having happy Christmas" said Clarice
 Gordon whistled in dismay. "Oh, ] never thought of them!' he said.

 All over the snow were the foot. pr;nts of little animals-rabbits, squir- rcs, even the trail of a fox which Gordon and Paul pointed out.

 "I'oor little woods people!' sighed Clarice. I'm afraid the snow has GOV cred all the seeds and pine cones."
 "Where shall we have the Christmas tree?" asked Mabel, jumping up and down with delight.
