Fifth avenue.
Here's where he was found" The
manager indicated a spot near the
wall of the sitting room and opposite
the window. HE had just pushed
the button when he fell. Bronson, the
bellboy on that call, answered. He
knocked several times and got no an
swer. Then he opened the door and
saw Mr.. Telfik down, all in a heap"
"What-er-about the-er-shot?
The manager looked startled. "Well,
Bronson says that just as he opened
the door he saw a bullet cross the
room and strike the wall above the
body"

'He saw this one" insisted the man
ager. "As soon as it struck it ex-

Bronson ran out and fell, in a sort of
fainting fit. He came to long enough
to tell his story. Then he got terribly
nauseated and went off again"
Had anyone else been In the room
or past it within few minutes?"
Absolutely no one. The floor girl
must have seen anyone going in. She
heard the shot. And a minute or two
before, she heard and felt jar from
the room"
"Corroborative of the man having
fallen before the shot," commented
Jones.
when got here, five minutes later,
he was quite dead" continued the
manager.
Evidence of the explosion was slight
to the investigating eye of Average
Jones. The wall showed an abrasion,
but, as the investigator expected, no
bullet hole. Against the leg of desk
he found small metal shell, which
he laid on the table.
There's your bullet" he observed
with smile.
Its cartridge, anyway" cried the

Have you any idea where we could
find his camp?"
The railroad man laughed.
Fine chance you got of finding any,
thing in that swamp. It's my notion
he must have had houseboat."
On the following day they located
the houseboat. 1t was deserted. With
in its single room was uttermost
confusion, testifying to the sim
plest kind of housekeeping sharply
terminated. Attempt had been made
to burn the boat In heap of rub
bish, where the fire had apparently
started, Average Jones found, first, a
Washington newspaper, which he
pocketed; next, with swelling heart,
the wreck of the pasteboard cabinet,
but no sign of the strange valise which
had held it. The Mercy" sign was
gone from the cabinet, it's place being
supplied by a placard, larger, in
different handwriting, and startlingly
more specific:
Danger! If Found Destroy at Once.

There was nothing else. Gingerly,
Average Jones detached the sign. The
cabinet proved to be empty. He
pushed rock into it, lifted it on the
end Of stick and dropped it over
board. One after another eight little
fishes glinted up through the water,
turned their white bellies to the sun
light and bobbed, motionless.
Some days after the recovery of the
houseboat, Average Jones sat at break
fast. according to his custom, in the
cafe of the Hotel Palatia. In the issue
of the Washington daily, culled from
the houseboat, there was no marked
passage to show any reason for its
having Deen in the possession of
Smith" Average Jones had studied
and restudied the columns, until he
knew them almost by heart. During
the period of waiting for his order to
be brought he was brooding over the
problem, when he felt hand-pressure
on his shoulder and turned to confront
Mr.. Thomas Colvin Mcintyre, fifth as
sistant secretary of state of the
United States of America.
Hello! What have you been up
to that's scandalous?"
''It isn't me-" replied the diplomat
ungrammatically. ITS Telfik Bey."

Fumbling nervously in the pocket
of his creaseless white waistcoat he
brought forth death notice
From the Dial,' he said, handing it
to Average Jones.
The clipping looked conventional
enough:

Hotel Palatia-Telfik Bey of STEAMBOAT,
kish embassy. Washington, on Tuesday.

''If the newspapers ever discover"
The young diplomat stopped short be-
fore the enormity of the hypothesis.
1T looks straight enough to me as
a death notice, except for the tail.
What does Ana Alhari' mean? Sort
of requiescat?"
Eyes; like a mice!" said young Mr..
Mcintyre bitterly. ut means 'Hur-

"Ah! Then they got him the second
time. The Washington incident, of
course, was the first; the attempted
murd- that is, the narrow escape of
Telfik Bey"
Young Mr.. Mcintyre looked baf-
fed. I'm blessed If l know what
you're up to, JONES'" he said. "But if
you do know anything of this case l
need your help. In Washington, where
they failed, we fooled the newspapers.

Who are 'they'?" interrupted Jones.

Mr.. A. v. R E. Jones-Average Jones,

Sam Jones Says Alec Lacked
Confidence as a
Yankee
By SAM JONES,

by StAM OUNGO1
Star Pitcher of the New York Yankees
written for International News
Service.)
II will be Kremer and Ferguson
today.
"A lot of folks figure that Fergie
isn't much Of a pitcher. But he has
two things that will help him a lot.
One is control. The other is half
speed ball delivered with side
arm motion that is almost a cross
fire. A ball like that is the tough
est thing in the world for free
swinging hitters and most OF the
Pirates are Of that type.
He has a good curse, too, and
since joining the Senators he has
had enough winning games to give
him confidence. I think lack or
confidence was his worst fault with
the Yankees, and If he has regained
that, then he'll be tough enough.
/ don't know much about Kremer.
He's more or less youngster and
I've never seen him pitch but one
game. In that one he used a queer
side-arm delivery, varying 1t with
an overland fast ball that kept
the Giants backing up on their
heels. He is q bit more nervous
than Ferguson and may have a
little more trouble getting under
way.
To my mind, the biggest thing for
Washington Is to get Ossie Bluege
back in the game. With him play
ing believe Washington has a
good chance. Without him, the Pr
rates hold the edge.
