his discovery OF the strange
death OF Pennington Tyler.
A message awaiting US at

In a few lines Mrs. Mcneil said that

and ride down there. II there Is any
thing that the mystlcs OF New York
like. It is a long line Of gasoline en-
gines racing in front OF their doors.
To them that Is the outward and Wis
bile mark OF success"
Sure enough. when We arrived at
the address given by Mrs. Mcneil as
that of Prof. AltereSo, several taxi
cabs and private cars were waiting.
and the %drippinSs Of oil on the asphalt
pavement before the house proclaimed
the prosperity OF the psychic and the
high character Of his clientele. The
house was an ld~-fashioned three
story and basement brownstone near
the corner OF a street running into
Longacre Square and overshadowed
by a tall hotel that had been erected
mex to IL.

served, Kennedy ordered the taxicab
driver to wait :cg US, on the theory,

gance helped 10 create a good impress

and Craig glibly took advantage OF
the coaching Of Mrs. Mcneil to gain
entrance.

mitted proved to be merely a waiting

And yet It seemed nanifestly i'm
nossIble that any one could have done
violence to the old mar in broad day
lIght on a crowded street car. More
than that. the time between his leav-
ing the hotel and being found at the
end OF the car line was just about
the average running time OF a sur
face car. No one apparently had
smoker TO aim: no one had paid
any particular attention to him, He
