II think" said Inspector
Brunt, in his grave, slow way,
"that it will be wise to photo
graph the whole picture from
several points Of view before the
autopsy is performed"
Arrangements had been made
for this, and Detective Hardy, a
young man from headquarters,
stepped forward with his camera.
As those who were asked to left
the room, Pauline and Gray went
out together, and met Anita just
outside in the hall.
"0h, tell me, Gray! Who did
It'll What does it all meant" she
cried, and grasped him by the
arm.
"Tell her about it, Gray" said
Pauline; and, leaving the two to-
gether, she went swiftly along the
hall to her own room.
The alert eyes Of the guarding
policemen followed her, but also
they followed the movements Of
every n else, and if they had,
as yet, any suspicious no one knew
of them.
Meantime, the grewsome work
OF photography went on.
Surely never was such a strange
subject for the camera! Denuded
OF her jewels, but still robed in
her gorgeous dressing gown and
still leaning back in her luxurious
arm chair with that strange smile
OF happy expectancy, Miss Lucy
Darlington presented the same air
OF regal authority she had always
worn in life. Her eyes were widely
staring, but there was no trace or
hint Of fear in her peaceful atti-
tude of repose. &.
There's no solution!' said In
spector Brunt, deeply thoughtful.
No one could or would crack a
skull like that but an experienced
and professional burglar and
housebreaker. And such a one
could have but one motive-rob-
berry and the jewels were not
~stolen!"

A PAPER SNAKE.

On the third floor was the bed
room of the maid, Estelle, anc
before its locked door stood Paul
inc and Anita demanding admit
mitance. There was no response
from inside until Pauline said
sternly: UNLESS you open this
door at once, Estelle, the police
will force it open
The key turned, the door moved
slowly AGAR, and Estelle's face
appeared, wearing an expression
of amazement.
"What is it you say, Miss Paul
inc? The police? Why9"
/ The maid was making a very
evident effort to appear com
posed, and was succeeding won
derfully well. Her eyes were red
dened with weeping, a condition
which a hasty dabbing of powder
had not concealed. She was ner-
vously trembling, but her air of
injured innocence, if assumed,
was admirable.
"Estelle," and Pauline doomed
tall and magnificent as an accus-
ing angel, what do you know of
your mistress death?"
Estelle gave a shrek and threw
herself on the, bed in apparent
Mysteries.

Pauline. "Sit up here and tell
the truth"
But and the maid sat up,

"Overturned9 Is it then up

impersonal one of the trained

at nothing, but it was a trifle
overdone.

to the second floor.
J The sight of two police officers
in the hall gave her a sudden
start. How had they appeared so
soon? And how dreadful to see
them IN the palatial home that had
heretofore housed only gentle
hammered aristocrats and obsequi-
Gus liveried servants! The men
looked i'll at. ease as they stood
against the rich background of
tapestry hangings and tropical
palms, but their faces showed a
stern appreciation Of their duty,
and they looked at Pauline with
deferential but acute scrutiny.
Not noticing them in any way,
the girl, her head held high, went
straight to her aunt's room. Ser
geant Flake was in charge, and he
refused her admission.
"Coroner's orders, ma 'am," he
said; "hell be here himself
shortly, and then you can see
him."
Come away, Pauline" and
Haviland appeared and took her
by the arm "where's Anita9"
Il left her in Estelle's room.
Oh, Gray, that girl"
"Hush!" and, gripping her
firmly, Hayiland led her to a small
sitting room and shut the door.
Now listen, Pauline; mind what
say. Don't give the least bit of
information or express the slight
est notion of opinion except to the
chief authorities. And not to them
until they ask you. This is a
terrible affair. and a mighty
strange one"
Who did it, Gray?"
Never you mind. Don't even
ask questions. The very walls
have ears!"
Who upset that breakfast

"She lies. Everybody will lie;
why, Pauline, you must lie your

You may find that you have.
But, at least, Pauline, I beg Of
you, that you will keep your
mouth shut. There will be devel-
Iopments soon-there must be
and then we will know what to
do
The two returned to the bou-
doir. At first glance it seemed
Ito be full Of men. The beautiful
room, with its ornate but harmo-
ious furnishings and appoint
ments of the Marie Antoinette
period, was occupied with eager
representatives of law and justice,
hunting for any indication Of the
ruthless hand that had felled the
owner of all that elegance.
Coroner Scofield was receiving
the report Of DR.. Moore, who had
arrived with him.
DR.. Moore agreed with DR..
Stanton that the deceased had
been struck with with a heavy
weapon that had fractured the
skull, but he admitted the wounds
showed some strange conditions

"1s it not customary for ladies
at their dressing tables to use a
light side CHART"
This showed decidedly astute
perception, and the inspector
looked interestedly at the chair in
question, which he had not espe-
cially noticed before.
Being tacitly appealed to by the
coroner's inquiring eyes, Pauline
replied: "It is true that my aunt
usually sat at her dressing table
in a small chair-that one, in
fact" and she pointed to a dainty
chair of gilded cane. Il have no
idea why she should choose the
heavy, cushioned one."

down there to admire the effect

Coroner Scofield's movements.

full attitude of the still figure
leaning back against the brocad-
ed upholstery, and so evidently
looking in the great gold framed

toy, such as is found together
with fans and lanterns in the ORR

Scofield inquired Of the doctors.
The two physicians agreed that,
though that was possible, yet the
appearance Of the flesh beneath it
seemed to indicate it's having en-

"Never!' cried Pauline excit-

nodded his head. IT well

deed, the snake was put on after
the crime. But that is even more
mysterious. / shall now remove

EFFECT IMPORTANT RESULTS
Certain Amendments Have Been
Agreed Upon That Are Designed to
Meet Criticism at Home.

Paris-Persistent efforts, principal
ly by the American delegates, but sec
onded for the most part by the British
and Italians. to speed up the work
of the various councils and commits
sions preparing the details of the peace
treaty, resulted in better progress dur
ing the closing days of the past week
That most important results will be
attained during the present week is
predicted by those who are in posi-
ton to speak. including the dEsDHsi-
ton of the Monroe doctrine and repa-
rations the two subjects which have
been the main obstacles to the COM
pleticn of the treaty.
The most stubbornly contested sub
ject was that of reparations, and it
is suggested that the delay in this
case cannot be charged up to the
Americans, but rather to the pre-e'ec-
and Premier Clemenreau to make the
Germans pay the whole cost of the
war, which have led to some embar-
rassment, because of the patent ina.
bility CT the enemy to pay more than
a fraction Of the enormous indemnity
that will be required for that purpose.
However, real progress has been
made in bringing about an agreement
on the total amount of indemnity and
the terms of payment, on a basis of
painstaking studies of the exact state
of German industries and resources
at the present time and prospects for
the future made by the financial com
missions of the conference.
Although President Wilson has stat
ed that the league of nations cove
nant did not delay the progress of the
treaty, because the work of the other
commissions was equally essential to
it's completion. the subject has been
the subject Of much anxiety and
close study during the past we(y The
desire Of the American delegates to
safeguard the Monroe doctrine and
tn insert other amendments to meet
home criticism has temporarily pre-,
vented the report Of the revised cove
nant from being submitted to a plen.
