their head, q little later, he began sys-
tematic search of the neighborhood Of the
broken letter box. But two hours later he
temporarily gave up the search. Envelopes
had been discovered as far as fifty yards
away from the box. Others might have been
carried by the wind even farther. And
across the main road were rather dense
woods. with thick underbrush. To search
this place at night. even with electric
torches, was out of tie question. He must
possess his soul in patience until the morrow.
He drove back to headquarters. He wished
that tho identity Of the murdered man-and
OF his murderess-could have been solved
tonight. Tomorrow's opposition paper would
make much Of the mystery. OF course, 1t
was absurd to expect the police depar rtment
to solve every crime within few hours Of
its commission, but still-he wished that
It could.
And because Of that wish, he did not close
his desk and leave the Office, Perhaps he
was assuming too much. The letter Of the

dead man might be void Of cews. 1t might
be the letter of crank. 1t might contain
anything. II, in the meantime, he could
learn som othing about the man, without de-
pending on the discovery Of the missing
letter.
At ten o'clock that night Sergeant Blaney
reported to him that a man named Carver,
and his wife, had been registered at the
Longridge Hotel, questionable hostelry in
the cheaper section Of Hillstown. The man
had been heard giving taximan the ad-
dress, "Hicrest Inn," about noon today.
Later his wife had made inquiries about him.
and had walked, apparently much disturbed,
away from the place. She had not returned
1t had also been learned that the man Carver
had been seriously Ill the day before and had
had two doctors called to him. These doctors
had been interviewed, but knew nothing OF
the man, save that they had attended him
and that he had been dangerously i'll, at the
point Of death, in fact. Servants had heard
the woman called by her husband, by the
name of Rosa" She had not returned to
the hotel since she lef. 1t, shortly after noo7.
The sergeant had description Of her.
"send that description out" said jenkins.
Have her arrested on sight. Anything in
the rooms that would tend to tell who they
were-anything about them?"
The sergeant shook his head. "Not
thing, Chief"
Jenkins nodded. Shortly. there being noth@
ing else to do, he went home.
Criminals of the confidence game type can
have no homes. The burglar. plying his
trade by night. his identity masked, may find
il possible to maintain a residence. There is
no reason why, by day, the burglar should
not be respectab!e-seemins business or pro-
fessional man. Doubtless many Of them are.
For, unless he has bungled his work, hs
need not fear recognition.
But the confidence man. the swindler'

depart with all the celerity that he can
muster.
Rose, wife Of confidence man, had never

she had made the acquaintance OF Benny
Halsey, who was at that moment engaged
in laying the foundation for an oil swindle

Since the ~, shortly after their meeting,
when she had married him. she had always
"traveled light" For 1t was essential to
their liberty that they be able to step aboard

things than to wait for the laundry-and .

So that there was nothing Of hardship,
nothing unusual, in the fact that Rosa found

looking for laundry or other marks that
would serve to place him. But just now
there was nothing to do save walt for the
arrival Of the postal inspector.
He did not keep the chief waiting long.
But when he arrived carrying in his hand
a bundle of soIled, muddied envelopes. his
face wore puzzled expression.
Sorry to keep YOU waiting, chief" he
said. But-somebody skidded into the let

But Jenkins disagreed with him. Once
more he picked up the telephone and issued
oruers that half dozen men, equipped with
flashlights, should be sent out at once. At
