British War Office
Receives Confirmation of
Capture of Gatchina
By Associated Press.

London, Oct. 1S.-The British war
office to-day received confirmation
of the news of the capture of Catch
ina, 25 miles south of Petrograd, by
the northwestern Russian army of
General Yudenitch. The Bolsheviki
were driven from the town yester-
day.
The Esthonians, operating in the
coastal region, along the gulf of
Finland, the official advices state,
are within few miles of Kras-
naia Gorka and are facing the fort
ress of Kronstadt.
In the center of the advancing
line, official information is that the
and-Bolshevik forces on Thursday
pushed forward to a point three or
four miles below Luga, so miles
south of Petrograd.
The Soviet forces are, according
to latest advices, still desperately
defending Petrograd, toward which
the anti-Bolshevik troops have been
advancing since October IL. Con-
firmation of dispatches telling of the
fall of the former Russian capital
has not been received in official quar-
ters here. Over the whole situation
around Petrograd there is consider
able obscurity, due to conflicting re-
ports.
General Denikine appears to be
advancing his left flank along the
Dnieper Valley taking Chernigoff
and moving northward toward Co
mel, where his Cossacks may join
Polish forces and present q com
pact front to the Soviet armies. If
this advancement is made the anti
Bolshevik line from Petrograd to
Orel, south of Moscow, would re-
semble great horseshoe enclosing
the Bolsheviki.
East of Orel and in the Don re-
gion the Bolsheviki are reported
be retreating all along the from.
Denikine troops have crossed the

Up to Railroads to Help
Themselves, Says Director

In a statement issued to-day at
Duluth, Walker D. Hines, Director
General of Railroads, tells railroad
executives that the Federal Admin
istration cannot increase rates with
a view to helping the railroads fl
nancially when the latter go back to
private control. He says in part:
There is no duty whatever,
either legal or moral, resting on the
Railroad Administration to initiate
for the benefit of the railroad cor
poration rates which it believes to
be inexpedient to initiate for it's own
benefit. On the contrary, the rail-
road companies have the power to
protect their interests in this matter
just as fully as they had in the past
and they ought to resort to it un-
less they choose to stand on the
rates as they are.

mistaken-upon the man who sat al
the telephone in the library. 1t was
now quite plain Cf my guess was
right that this unmistakable gar
ment was a cardinal feature of the

And there my thinking was in,

thing that had escaped me before
So strong had been the influence OF
the unquestionabde assumption that
it was Henderson who was present
that night, that neither I nor, so far
as / know any one else had noted
the point. Martin had not seen the
mans face; nor had Mrs. Mander-
son.
Mrs. Manderson, Judging by her
evidence at the inquest, of which
as ! have said, / had a full report
made by the Record stenographers
in court) had not seen the man at
all. She. hardly could have done,
as I shall show presently. She had
merely spoken with him as she lay
half asleep, resuming a conversation
which she had had with her living
husband about an hour before. Mar
tin, perceived, could only have seen
the mans back, as he sat crouching
over the telephone; no doubt char
acteristic pose was initiated there.
And the man had worn his hat, Man
derson's broad brimmed hat! There
is too much chara cter in the back of
head and neck. The unknown, in
fact, supposing him to have Been
of about Manderson's build, had had
no need for any disguise, apart from
the jacket and the hat and his pow
ers Of mimicry.
I paused there to contemplate the
GOODNESS and ingenuity of the man.
The thing, l now began to see. was
so safe and easy, provided that his
mimcry was good enough, and that
his nerve held. Those two points
assured, only some wholly unlikely
accident could unmask him.

NAMED in my childish memory, then
gradually faded, because neither OF
us ever had referred to the incident
again.
But at the woman's nuttered ex-
clamation my mothers face flashed
before me as plainly as if her living
self stood N the room, her voice,
shaken, roughensd to nervousness
from its usual soft accents, sounded
in my ears as it had done on that
long-gone day.
Never that name, child! Never
let it cross your lipsH
"Why?" I asked with childish in
quisitiveness.
She stopped, took my face be-
tween her hands and spoke with a
sort of cold intensity that made ME
shiver.
Because the person I loathe most
in the world used to cali me Meg
when we were girls together" she
said. "She killed my happiness. She
is the worst woman in the world.
If you ever allow yourself to use
that name, even when you are
grown, l shall know it if am 20
years dead"
l do not think she realized that
she was speaking to a child, or,
indeed, just what she was saying,
so carried away was she by the
hateful memory that shook her. In
another moment she caught my
shrinking childish figure to her, and
| felt her tears upon my face.
Forgive me, little daughter" she
said, land forget that mother spoke
this way. Only-never let me hear
that name again."

spoke to her at all. 1t was extraor-
binary that Henderson should
leave his bed room without his false
teeth
All these thoughts, as I say, came
blocking into my mind together,
drawn from various parts Of my
memory of the mornings inquiries
and observations. They had all pre-
scented themselves, in far less time
than 1t takes to read them as set
down here, as ! was turning over the
shoes, confirming my own certainty
on the main point. And vet when |
confronted the definite idea that had
sprung up suddenly and unsup-
ported before melt was not Man
derson who was in the house that
'night-it seemed stark absurdity at
the first formulating. 1t was GER
tainly Henderson who had dined
at the house and gone out With Mar
lowe in the car. People had seen
him at close quarters. But was it he
who returned at 10? That question
too seemed absurd enough. But I
could not set it aside. 1t seemed
to me as if a faint light was be-
ginning to creep over the whole ex-
panse of my mind, as it does over
land at dawn, and that presently
the sun would be rising. I set my
self to think over, one by one, the
points that had Just occurred to me,
so as to make out, if possible, why
any man masquerading as Mander-
son should have done these things
that Henderson would not have
done.
| had not to cast about very long
for the motive man might have in
forcing his feet into Manderson's
narrow shoes. The examination of
footmarks is very we'll understood
by the police. But not only was the
man concerned to leave no foot
marks of his own. He was con-
cerned to leave Manderson's if any;
his whole plan, if my guess was
right, must have been directed to
producing the belief that Mander-
son was in the place that night.
Moreover, his plan did not turn
upon leaving footmarks. He meant
to leave the shoes themselves, and
he did so. The maid-servant had
found them outside the bedroom
door, as Henderson always left his
shoes, and had polished them, re-
placing them on the shoe shelves
later in the morning, after the body
had been found.
When l came to consider in this
new light the leaving of the false
teeth, an explana ton of what had
seemed the maddest part of the af-
fair broke Upon me at once. A dem
tai plate is not inseparable from its
owner. If my guess was right, the
unknown had brought the denture
to the house with him, and left it
in the bedroom, with the same OBJ
ject as he had in leaving the shoes;
to make it impossible that any one
should doubt that Henderson had
been in the house and had gone to
bed there. This, of course, led me to
the inference that Henderson was
dead before the false Henderson
came to the house; and other things
confirmed this.
For instance, the clothing, to
which / now turned in my review
Of the position: if my guess was
right, the unknown in Henderson S
shoes had certainly had possession
of Manderson's trousers, waistcoat
