The police were summoned, and
an autopsy was conducted. Wounds

tainty concerning it gave rise to
the theory that the murder had been
committed for robbery. This was
never definitely determined, how
ever. and the motive still remains
large part of the mystery.
Wholesale arrests followed the
removal of the body to the morgue,
and most of the notorious criminals
then in the District were appre-
hended and thrown into Jail One

tablished alibis and were released.

The Love Gambler


HE clock in the hall had just
chimed the quarter before o
when Desiree heard David's
ring. She sat still and waited, her
hands clasped tightly in her lap.
The maid came from the rear Of
the house and opened the front
door.
She had never seen her employers
former chauffeur. therefore, treated
him as an ordinary caller. Desiree
could hear her deferential tones as
she offered to take his coat and hat
from him.
There was a pause while the man
Invested himself of his coat. The
maid ushered him INTO the drawing
room, Desiree rose Us he entered,
and the dark blue portieres closed
behind him.
The room was lighted only by
shaded globes that threw a soft
glow over everything AS in flash
David remembered how he had
stood there by this girl weeks ago
when he had first entered her
fathers employ-and how, for a
moment, he had felt that he was
once more in his own place. Had
that feeling been a premotion-or
a warning?
He drew himself together, and
looked at his hostess.
She was pale, but self-contained.
She wore, as the first time he saw
her, light violet color. Her semi
evening dress showed her white
throat. Around it was a slender
chain from which hung the anne

"You are very kind to see ME

heard himself saying.

Joined with the ease of a thor
oughbred. Il had no other engage
ment Won't you sit down.
Smith Is Surprised.
Again he was surprised. AS she
seated herself, he took an upright
chair near her.
You wanted to speak to me
about a matter of business, I think,
at least that is what l inferred
from your letter.
He hesitated. Her self-possession
Gained him, yet he did not want
to make a false step.
He could not know what agita
ton her placid exterior hid. AZ
she gazed at him sitting there in
her drawingroom her heart was
beating madly. She had always

he seemed handsomer than any
other man she had ever seen. She
longed to beg him to tell her
about himself-to speak to her as

Of some importance to me. I can
hardly hope it will be of any par
ticular moment to you. 1t is about
some one in whom l happened TO
be interested"
This was not the chauffeur speak
ing. 1t was a person who under
stood the English language and
who was at his ease in Samuel
Leighton's drawing-room. His err
rand might make him nervous, his
surroundings did not.
Desiree smiled politely. "a friend
Of yours?" she asked.
She was disappointed. Perhaps,
after all. he had come to suggest
to her that her father employ some
one in whom he was interested
Yet why should he--a man of the
world and a gentleman-come to
her about this?
II shall be glad TO hear anything
you have to say about any one in
whom you are Interested" she
added perfunctorily.
II thank you. The man to whom

She started in establishment, and

all my life. He has head OF you

"Ah" even more coIdly than be-

But l have never met him I know
of him only through his aunt"
One who was not cog nizant with
the particulars OF the case would
have known from her manner that
she despised the subject of this
dialogue.
David was assailed by a fear that
she would forbid him to mention
the name OF De Lame IN her pres
erice.
II understand that you have
never cared to meet him. /, myself.

"Why?" she demanded. why
should you fancy l would not care

A wonderful courage came to him.
Everything depended upon how well
he played his part now. As in most
great crises, he felt as IL possessed
by another personality than his
own-a personality who spoke and
acted through him.
Because of what you have heard
of him." he replied bluntly. II
must ask you to forgive me for
speaking so frankly. But De Lame
fancies you think him a lazy hulk
who has been waiting all these
years for his aunts fortune. So l,
