They DO not know; 1 do. The
truth is, I was the first to discover
the murder. I related to you my
conversation with Harris, after all
others had left the foundry. We must
nave been there alone. for an hour.
When we left we separated, believing
this to be safe, and l walked down
Cans street alone in the rain. Some
blocks below the foundry l came upon
this car, bumped up against the curb,
and apparently abandoned. The rear
door stood wide open, and looked in
side, and felt about, merely from
curiosity. My fingers touched some
thing lying on the floor, and, when
I drew 1t out, and looked at it In the
light of a distant street-lamp, I dis
covered it to be dagger hatpin, dis

But l was quicker. the move ready,
gripping the wrist, and twisting the
arm back until the torture caused him
to drop the weapon, as we struggled
back across the width Of the hal. We
were both weapOnleSS, relying only on
the efficacy Of bare hands. but he
turned into a savage. a dangerous
fighter who cared only 10 disable his
opponent in any way possible. 1t was
like battling with a wild cat, infuri-
ated, crazed with hate and fear. And
for the moment the fellow had me,
driving me back against the rail, help

I whirled with him, ducking my own
head behind his shoulder, gaining as
did so one blurred glimpse of Wal
dron as he swung full at me with
what looked like the leg Of chair.
Harris caught the full force of the
blow just over his eyes and the power
of it, added to the swirl of my arms,
sent him hurtling along the rounded
rail, headlong down the stairs. Wal

CHAPTER XIII.
In the CoImar Building


His horse was not d fast traveller,
yet this afforded me time to think
over my own situation, as we'll as
this clew so unconsciously furnished
me by the loquacious driver. The
chances were that this mysterious
passenger Of two nights before had
no connection with the Alva case; yet
there remained possibility. The hour,
the place, his evident fear Of pursuit,
his eager desire to get out Of sight,
the heavy bag he carried, and his
being a foreigner Of some kind, all
combined to stimulate my suspicion.
Who the fellow could be was beyond
guess. The Colmar building! My
recollection Of the place was vague,
a huge pile on Broad near Wall, de-
voted largely to brokers' Offices, abso-
lutely deserted. at night, except by
scrubwomen and watchman or two.
A tenant might slip in at such an
hour, yet he would be fortunate indeed
to escape the observation Of some one
along the halls, or on the staircase.
I felt confident a careful questioning
among the night employees would give
some line on the identity Of the man,
even if there should prove no other
means Of locating him.
One thing was settled; I must 90
back to the hotel. If I was to pay my
bill and depart I would lose all con-
nection with Marie Gessler; she would
then possess no means Of finding me.
I could not seek her, but she. possessed
my address, and must surely endeavor
to communicate with me before night.
The only thing, then, was to remain
and wait for her to call. Yet this
surely exposed me to the danger Of
arrest, if Waldron named me to the
poEce in connection with the death OF
Harris.
Yet by this time I was firmly con-
vfnced that the Russian would either
lie outright in the affai-claiming that
Harris injuries had resulted wholly
from fall downstairs in the dark
or. else would swear them upon some

"Yep; black, bout medium size.
The fellow wasn't overly big himself,
an it wus quite a lug for him; 1t
bumped against his legs when he
toted 1t. I wouldn't thought nothin'
more bout it, only l got hol' of a
paper, an read how there wus a guy
croaked that same night over in

the corner. But somehow I sorter

'sNo; something led Harris to

ing that flying figure. With all my
strength drove a fist fiat to his face,
and. as he reeled, stumbling backward,
endeavoring to retain his feet I
sprang past, and raced down the steps.
The body lay at the bottom motionless,
huidIed up in such fashion as to
block the door. Without doubt but
that the man was dead, thrust the
form to one side, leaped through the
opening, and crashed the door behind
me.
I turned to the left, afraid Of the
bright lights, and the street-cars, and
plunged into the depths of the alley.

turning before I came to what
evidently was q small hotel. Here
I encountered cab, an old horse cab,

a small washroom, flung off my coat,
and filed a basin with water. The
cabby turned up the light, and watched
me curiously. he was evidently de-
lighted to have some one to companion

feet, expecting sudden onrush OF
whooping Indians. The attack failed

spent Christmas Is told In the journal
they have left. which says: mo man
rested that day."
The settlers were nervous. and again
M night they left well-armed men on
guard.
These poor fellows on shore did not
have any Christmas beer to drink.
About this time. II seems. the beer
supply was running low. and Captain
Jones OF the Maydower was guarding
his stock. Apparently he put every
body on water basis. But Christmas
night he relented. Beer was served

LAST OF THE TWELVE DAYS"
Epiphany. Originally. Was Celebrated
Rather Than Christmas, Accord
inp to Some Authorities.

AHPIPHANY Is the last day OF
the Twelve Days" OF which
= y Christmas Is the first. Au-
- thorities on this subject tell
us that originally II was
Epiphany which was celebrated rather
than Christmas. II was the baptism
OF Jesus Tor the spiritual blrth) which
interested the early church fathers
rather than Christmas Cor the physical
BIRTH. In some circles In early Chris
tianity the baptism appears to have
been looked upon as the true birth Of
Christ, the moment when. filed by the
spirit, He became the Son OF God.
For some time the two events were
celebrated together on January Q.
Gradually the western church began
20 stress the physical birth. and even
tualiy the two events were celebrated
separately. December Is being fixed
upon as the date for the Nativity. In
the East the celebration OF the two
events continued for some time after
the separate feast of Christmas had
been instituted. The Church of Jeru-
salem stood out until the Seventh cen
tury. refusing TO adopt the new feast,
The, Armenian church knows nothing
Of December 25. and still celebrates
the Nativity with the Epiphany In
January. Epiphany Is greater festi-
val In the Greek church than Christ
mas.
Such In bare outline is the story OF
the spread OF Christmas as a separate
festival.
