As he sat down he laid a handful of
•cigarettes on the table beside him.
"You see, I've come for a chat," ho
said, with his inimitable smile. "I hope
you will help yourself."
"Thank you," and I suited the action
to the word. Tremaine's cigarettes
would have tempted any one.
"I have been curious to see," he said,
"how Cecily would affect New Yorkers.
She is certainly well stared at."
"And no wonder!" I said. "She
would make St. Anthony turn his
head.,'
"Ah, you think so?" and he shot me
a quick glance. "You admire her,
then?"
"Admiration Is hardly the word," I
said slowly. "It is too weak, too thin"—
Evideutly he misunderstood me, for
he did not wait for me to finish, to ex-
plain myself.
"That makes it easier for me," he in-
terrupted. "You have perhaps sus-
pected that the union between us is not
a—ah—a legal one?"
"Yes," I said, "I had suspeeted that"
"Such tmions are the rule in Mar-
tinique," he continued calmly, "and
have been' from time immemorial.
They are a part of the life there. They
are a matter of course, and frequently
they are as permanent and happy as
any regular one could he. Cecily is ,
what is known as a flue de couleur—
physically, I believe, the most beauti-
ful women in the world,"
"Then she is not an exception?"
"Oh, no—she's a type—physically, at
least. Mentally, I believe she does
differ somewhat from the typical ca-
presse. For instance, I never . knew
another attempt to tame a fer-de-
lance."
"It seemed to use," I observed, "that
she had as many possibilities as the
snake."
He laughed lightly.
"For evil, you mean? That's merely
the effect of the first view. Really, the
eapresse girls have an excellent repu-
tation for docility and all the rest. Not
that it would matter much in Marti-
uique—tlie people there are used to
living over a volcano and don't mind.
Of course," he added in another tone,
"1 shall' before long have to break
it off. Society here Is differently or-
ganized.—different climates, different
morals, you know; I feel that I must
conform to it. 'Indeed, I even wish to
do so. It is time that I settled down,
ranged myself, became a man of
family. I have been a wanderer long
enough. Cecily can't endue() this cli-
mate anyway. I'll' send her back to
St. Pierre."
"What will she say to that?" I asked,
with e. vivid memory of the adoring
way her eyes always dwelt upon him.
"You think it sounds a little brutal?"
. and he smiled gayly. "It isn't, in the
least. You've put Cecily on too high a
pedestal. They have an axiom down
there, 'Nee de 1'amour, la fille de cou-
leur nit d'amour, de tires, et d'oublis'—
her life is a thing of love, laughter
. and forgottings. I think it's essentially
true. At the same time," he added
• more seriously, "I don't wish to bo
needlessly cruel. That's the reason I'm
telling you all this. It's a sort of intro-
. ;tinction."
"Ali," I said, and looked at him.
' "I'll blurt it out in a word. I'll be
but of town next week—all week—my
business demands it—and it's absurd
for me to think of taking Cecily with
me — it's absolutely impossible — it
would ruin the whole affair. What I
want to ask you is this—look in. on
her occasionally, cheer her up, take
her to the theater, If you'll be so good.
She knows no one here, and she has
a. ridiculous need of companionship, of
chattering to some one, of having some
one to admire her. It's born in the
blood, I suppose; it's an inheritance
from two centuries of ancestors. Left
to herself, she'll soon mope herself sick.
'Will you do this for me, my friend?"
There • was a compelling wizardry In
his eyes as he looked at me, yet Tbad
self control enough to pause and reflect.
Still, I saw no reason why I should re,
fuse, even had Iny own inclination not
greatly urged me forward. here
would be an opportunity to uuvell such
secrets of his as Cecily might know. --
especially as to where they had been
on the evening of the murder. Per-
haps she even knew the victim; could
give me a clew to the connection be-
tween him and Tremain, if such a
connection existed. There were unlimit-
ed possibilities. And yet a feeling of
shame held me back. To take advan-
tage in this way of a man who trusted
me, against whom there was nothing
but the merest, most intangible sus-
picion—
I looked up and met his latent gaze.
"You were reflecting?" he said.
"Merely that it is a delicate trust.
I'm not at all unwilling to undertake it,
only"—
Again he misunderstood; again he
did not wait for me to finish. It was
the only weakness I ever detected in
him—he made a false step that could
never be retraced.
"Only you are flesh and blood, you
would say?" and he shot me a smile
which illumined as a lightning flash
the depths of his character. "On. that
score, do not worry, I beg of you. I
am not of a jealous disposition. I shall
not"
—
A knock at the door interrupted him -
or I might have answered in a way
that would have wrecked. Godfrey's
plan forever. I flung the door open
and saw Higgins standing there.
"A call at th' telephone fer you, Mr.
Lester," he said.
"Ea.cuse me, please," I called over
my smoulder to Tremaine, and strode
down the hall atter the janitor.
It tsas Mr.. Royce who wanted me;
he had been called suddenly out of
town and wished to give me some in-
structions for the next day. Our con-
versation lasted perhaps five minutes;
then 1 bun; up the receiver and mount -
ea to t'>v rooms. With a hand not
wholly steady, I opened fhe door. Tre-
maine was sitting in the chair where
I had left him and was just lighting
another cigarette.
He arose with a smile as li came in.
"I must be going," he said. "And
you will keep an eye on Cecily?"
"Yes, I'll be glad to. Good night," I
answered, and closed the door.
As 1 turned Godfrey walked calmly,
out of the bedroom.
"What do you think of him?" I
asked.
"I think," said Godfrey slowly, "that
he's one of the most consummate
scoundrels I ever had to deal with.
However, we'll unmask him. He's let-
ting us into his citadel."
"Did he sit still while I was away?"
"Not for an instant. I was sure he
wouldn't. Therefore as soon as I
caught Higgins' errand I dived behind
your raincoat. Luckily, it's a long
one."
"Yes. And then?"
"And then he took a quick look
through the bedroom. I heard him

ELL," I said at last, "It
seems to me we're weaving
a pretty strong chain about
our friend Tremain. But
wily should he have waited this ion; to
look for the diamond?"
"Perhaps lie's just discovered. Its
loss," suggested Godfrey,
"Or perhaps this is the first oppor-
tunity he's had. I've never before left
him alone here, and I keep the snap on
so that the door locks itself whenever
it's closed."
Godfrey sat for a full mtnute motion,
less, his eyes fixed on the door.
"Of course," he said at last, "It may
not have been the diamond be was
looking •for, though I can't imagine
what else it could be. But I've a the-
ory I want to test. Suppose we take
a look at your bedroom."
I followed him in and turned up the
light. 'Ho glauced around keenly and
went dually to the closet, which was
almost opposite the door leading into
the sitting room, IIe entered the closet
and closed the door behind him. After
a moment I heard a scraping noise and
perceived a knife blade working back
and forth in a crack of the door.
Finally the blotto was withdrawn, the
door opened and Godfrey came out. He
examiue(1 the tock, tried it once or
twice with the key, which. was in it,
then he turned to me.
"What time do you
morning?" he asked.
"About 7:30."
"Seven -thirty. Very well. Now I
must be going. Look for me in the
morning."
"Wait," I said, for I, too, had a sud-
den idea, "You have a photograph of
Thompson, I suppose? Bring it up in
the morning with you. I should like to
look at it."
"All right," he said, and after I had
made sure that the coast was clear he
stole away upon tiptoe.

him for a little while, but presently I'
perceived that he wasn't searching

very slowly from tack to tack. Once I
thought he had found it, for he came
to a place where a tack was wanting
and rau his hand under eagerly. But
in a moment he brought it out again

"So it couldn't have been the dia-

"No, it couldn't have been the dia-

I nodded again. So that was why he
was so long after Tremaine in putting
in an appearance at the Marathon.
"What's the matter with him now?"
he added.
"He's been murdered, and we've been

and Godfrey also examined tbo tube.
"It's empty,"
"Yes," I said. "I've used it once or
twice, and it works all right."
"Welt, Tremaine wasn't satisfied
with that. He ran his hands along the
top ledges of the doors, mounted a
chair and peered above the windows,
examined every nook and cranny. At
last he gave it up, replaced things just
as he had found them, glanced at his
watch and went away. Nov,7twhat was
he looking for?" -
I cudgeled my brain.
"I don't know," I said.' "1 can't im-
agine."
"Let me help you," said Godfrey, his
eyes shining still more brightly. "I had
time to think it all out in the closet
there. In the first place, he looked only
in the outer room; in the second place,
he was plainly looking for something
that had been purposely concealed; in
the third place, when he examined the
room he placed his chair just where
Miss Croydon had sat."
A flash of light burst upon me.
"The clippings!" I cried.
"The clippings. Just that. I haven't
the least doubt of it. Aud that explains
another thing which seemed very puz-
zling. It explains why Miss Croydon
was so anxious to rent this suit"
"But how did he find out about
thein?" I asked at last.
"Ibthink they contain some secret of
his, and he's concluded she hasn't got
them because she hasn't produced them
against him. And he's reasoned cor-
rectly in supposing that if she hasn't
got them she must have hidden them
here."
It was a good guess; an adroit one.
"The question is," added Godfrey,
looking about hams "where did sits
bide them?"
"Let you out of where?"
"Out of the closet. You see, unfor-
tunately, this lock works only from the
outside, so you'll have to lock me in
before you go. I've put on the bolt as
an extia precaution."
"You mean you're going to spend the
whole morning iu that closet?"
"That's precisely what I mean."
"But you'll suffocate."
"No—you see I've cut a hole through.
That will let in the air; besides,
through it one can get au admirable
view of the outer room."
"Alt!" I said, beginning to under-
stand. "It's a trap!"
"Yes, a trap. Maybe we'll catch
something and maybe we won't. What
tine do you usually go to lunch?"
"About 1 o'clock."
"That ought to bring you here by
1:20. Very well; lock me in and take
the bey with you."
I did as he bade me, though not with-
out some reluctance, and I Confess that
I thought of little else during the morn-
ing.
* * * * ,, * *
One o'clock came at last and I hur-
ried out and took the elevated uptown
as the quickest way of betting there.
It was just 1:20 when I opened my
door. 'With a little shiver of apprehen-
sion I inserted the key in the lock of
the closet and threw back the bolt.
Godfrey walked out on the instant.
Ho was smiling, bttt pale with fatigue.
"If you've got such a thing as a nip
of brandy anywhere about, Lester," ho
said, sinking into the nearest chair,
"I'd be infinitely obliged for it. I feel
rather shaky in the knees."
I brimmed a glass for him, and he
set it down empty, with a sigh of sat-
isfaction.

The father is gone, the mother is gone,

The Toronto News contains the fol-
lowing interview with Mr. Arch Hislop,
M. P. P., for East Huron, on the pre-
vention of corrupt practices at elections:
Mr. Arch. Hislop, M. P. P. for East
Huron, who has interested himself in
corrupt praotioesat electiontahas uponin-
vc s •igati snP, found that there was a very
large number of electors who cast no
votes at the last Provinoial election.
"In the riding of one Cabinet Min-
i ter more than half the voters on the
list did not go to the polls,' he said this
morning.
In the constituency of another M n•
inter folly 80 per cent, of the electors
did not vote, and throughout the pro-
vince there was a similar state of affairs.
Of coarse it was a stormy day in Jana•
ary and come allowance should be made
for that.
"My opinion, however, is that if the
