THE STORY so FAR.

James Turnbul1, cashier the Metropolis Trust company, Hs ar rested. while in disguise, fo house breaking at the home of ne Mc- Intyre twin sisters to whom ne was friendly. He died upon beis placed in the prisoners pen. It is und that Col. Mcintyre has lost valEoleS that were in the banks care hrough d forged letter presented through Turnbull.

A handkerchief, soaked With an over dose of medicine for Iart disease and ritialed "B" found the pen, is the only clue so far.
 The coroner's inary brings forth the details of a bethat Barbara Me Intyre had with T,noull to the ef- feet that he could ot break into the house without bdg detected. Dr. Stone, who altered him when he died, testified tha he tried to stutter Barbara" in hisast moments.
 Kent and Clper, of the bank, were discussing he death in a pri vate room in a,estaurant when De- tective Fergusc, who is also inter ested in the .se, shows up and claims that pchester killed Turn bull, who wa his roommate, be- cause they we both in love with the same girl, O. of the twins. Kent claims that had a telegram from Rochester gir1g an address in CIeve- land, whichferguSon had discovered was a hoax Ferguson had also gone to the firns office where he had taken fronsthe Rochester compart- ment an addressed envelope which had been entrusted ta Kent by Helen for3ochester. Mrs. Brewster then appes and steals the envelope, hiding it a piece of furniture in the Mcintyre tOme, where she is a house guest Fnt reports the loss of the envelope-o Helen.

the temple flowed a steady stream of blood.
 Good Godw Mcintyre staggered back against Helen. ''Grimes!'
 
 The genial president of the Metro polls Trust company was late. Mrs Brewster, waiting i-- his well-ap- pointed office, restrained her i'll temper only by an exertion of will power. She turned to the secretary
 T don't believe I can wait any longer" she began, and paused, as Benjamin Clymer appeared in the doorway.
 Mrs. Brewster waited until the young secretary had withdrawn out of earshot before replying; then taking the chair Clymer placed for her near his own. she opened her gold mesh bag and took out can cc1ed checi. and laid it on the desk in front of the bank president.
 Your bank honored this check?" she asked.
 "Yes''
 'sWho presented it?''
 Clymer pressed the buzZer and Me Donald came at once.
 About this check, McDonald," Clymer handed it to the teller as he spoke. ''Who presented it?''
 Miss Mcintyre"
 (Which Miss Mcintyre % Mrs Brewster put the question with swift intentness.
 'I can't tell one twin from the other,'' confessed Mcdonald. But as you see, the check is made pay able to Barbara Mcintyre"
 '5The inference being that Barbara Mcintyre presented the check for payment" commented Clymer, and Mcdonald bowed. Tt would seem, therefore, that Barbara wrote your signature on the check, Mrs. Brew ster."
New Britain herald., 1921-07-08

Long and intently she studied the
 signature-the peculiarly characteris- tic formation of the letter "B"
 caught and held her attention. As the seconds ticked themselves into min utes she sat immovap ole, her face as white as the hand on which she had bowed her head.
 Across the hall Helen Mcintyre tossed from one side to the other in her soft bed; her restless longing to
 get up was growing stronger and
 stronger
 With sudden decision she left the bed and dressed rapidly. It was not | until she had put on her rubber ] h ;eled shoes that she paused. Her hesitation, however, was brief. Step
 ping to the bureau, she pulled out a lower drawer and running her hand i inside, touched a concealed spring. From the cavity thus exposed she took small automatic pistol, and with a stealthy glance about her, crept from the room.
 The library had been vacant fully
 an hour when a mouse, intent on
 making a raid on the candy which Barbara had carelessly left lying loose on one of the tables, paused
 as faint creaking sound broke the )tillness, then as the noise increased the mouse scurried back to it's hole, The noise resembled the turning of rusty hinges and the soft thud of one piece of wood striking another.
 There was a strained silence, then from out of the darkness appeared
 tiny stream of light directed full on large white envelope bearing a 1 large red seal.
 The next instant the envelope was p1ucked fri the hand holding it.
 and a figure lay crumpled on the
 floor from the blow of descending weapon. It was closely approaching o'clock in the morning before Mrs. Brewster stirred from her comforta ble bed
 room chair. Taking up her electric torch, which she kept always by the side of her bed, she walked quickly down the staircase and into the pitch dark library. Directing her torch light so th>t she steered a safe course among the chairs and tables, she ap- preached one of the pieces of carved Venetian furniture andN reached out her hand to touch a trap door As she looked for the spring, she was HOII1lou LO see d Lnln stream or blood oozing through the carving until, reaching the letter "B,'' outlined that 1 initial in sinister red
 Scream after scream broke from 1 Mrs. Brewster. She was swayine on | her feet by the time Col Mcintyre and his daughter Helen reached the 1 library.
 "Margaret! What is it?' McIn- tyre demanded. Calm yourself, my darling."

 ''See, see!" she cried, and pointed with her orch.
 ! "She means the Venetian casket,' D 1 explained Helen, who had paused l joining them to switch on the light. Col.
