Holt and Company s I had been the evening before, On 'pie whole, I told myself, I had pro- ;ressed. I had succeeded iu forging .the chain more tightly about Tremaine, 'In strengthening it in many places. I t`could show certainly; :t First.—That he knew Thompson and. 'bad lied about U. :1 Second.—That he apparently hated him, , Third,—That he had come to New York on the same boat with him and probably on the same errand. Fourths -That Thompson had joined him as soon as released from jail, On paper, I bad to atmit, the chain appeared a good deal weaker than I had thought it. There were many gaps; indeed, now that I looked at it, it seemed to cousist largely of gaps. •'sbbjections to the theory of Tremaine's 'guilt loomed larger aud larger. One ;of the weightiest was Miss Croydon's attitude toward him. That seemed un - 'explainable. The man she described 'Its the murderer was quite unlike Tre- 1 pleasure in holdsn g yself back from enaiue la appearance. Was she, then, 'shielding him? But why should she do that? "above all, If be were guilty of 'such a crime, would she have consent- ed to his admission to the Delroy fam- ily? And, again, if she fearer him why not denounce him to the police, or at least threaten to do so? That would remove him from her path once and forever. This last question seemed so unan- swerable that I paused to look at it again, for it was evident that one really insuperable objection must in- validate the whole theory. By the commission of a crime, especially of a crime so serious as this one, would Tse not place himself as much in Miss ,Croydon's power as she could possibly ;be in his? If she were still in `his _power, then he had committed no ;crime, and if he had committed no ,. Crime, why, of course he had not killed Thompson. But in that case who had? Where had that diamond come from? I knocked out my pipe and filled it again. I felt o. good deal as though I was wandering around and around in • a maze. I was gettiug a little dizzy. If Tremaine had not killed Thomp- son, I asked myself again, who had? Not Miss Croydon! To suppose that t{ • delicately reared girl would smash a ° :Finan over the head with a piece of pipe was to descend to the ridiculous.. Yet If he had attacked her she might have nerved herself to do it. But that was 'absurd, too, since admittedly she had a pistols to her pocket and was not ""Thank you." And I closed the door upon him. The next instant I was down on my hands and knees tearing away the car- pet, my blood singing in my eels. I had found them—the clippings—it was Isere they must be hidden. But .for those chance•tacks driven by the jan- itor Tremaine would have had posses- sion of them long ago, and perhaps we should never have penetrated'the mys- tery of Thompson's death. Now it would be laid bare before us — the whole secret. What a little thing it was that bad saved us! I had the carpet loose -I turned it bask, and there they lay, that little roll of 'clippings, just. as they had been taken from Thompson's pocketbook. They were to tell us the whole story— We could not again be led astray. I was quite calm again. I picked them up carefully and laid them on my desk. "Then I washed my hands and filled my, toe. There was a certain exquisite, m them, in tantalizing myself, in defer- ring for a moment to: two the revela- tion which was to come. But at last I sat down and spread them out on the desk before`me. There, were twelve of them,Fsome only a fert. lines in length, others of half a column, Of one there were four copies, but of the others only ono apiece. They were tattered `and stained from long carry- ing; some were in English and some were in French, and they: were dated. from places as far apart as Dieppe, New York, Sydney. I piled them carefully beside me and started hopefully on .the task of de- ciphering them—of piecing together the story they had to tell me. But the farther I proceeded the more my spirits fell, for they told no story, they seemed to have no relation to each other—no common thread. Apparently, they had been gathered aimlessly at Haphazard to satisfy the whim of the Moment. One chronicled a wreck at sea; another a bank robbery; a third an escape 'from prison; a fourth was merely a marriage notice; a fifth told of a row in a sailors' dive, and so on doedthe list. They were about differ- ent people—friends of Thompson's, per- haps; none of them had any connec- tion with Tremaine; they told no story, furnished no clew, shedenot a ray of light on the mystery they were abso- lutely worthless. I laid them down In despair. Yet if they were worthless, why had Miss Croydon taken them? Why had Tre- THE WINfxI3AI'L TIMES, APRIL* to, 19Q8- Iu band.

You see," concluded Godfrey, looking up, "we begin to get at the motive." "Yes," I agreed; "It's very plain, now you've started on the right track. It's a good deal like Columbus' egg." Godfrey smiled and turned to the sixth clipping, the longest of thein all. "It's that way with most mysteries," he sald, "and here's the internal evi- dence that all this theorizing is pretty straight. It's the clew, ton, which we've been seeking Ea to}lig.' • "It eep1ains Hiss Croydon's presence here?" 1 asked, intensely interested, rind deeply stirred. • "Just that!" he said, .aud shot me a triumphant giauca. "Let us see if you can catch It. The clipping is in French, and, though my French islet of the iii=hest order, I can get the sense of it pretty well. It is bated Suresnes and is evidently a letter from a provincial eorre poudent to a i'aris newspaper, who, like most other provincial corre- epondents, is delightfully vague. How- ever, I gather from it that on the night of Sept. 10, 1591, a beautiful young English girl—name not given—ran away from the convent school of the Sacred IIeart at Suresnes and that the next. morning she was safely married to a 'gallant 1."renchu'tan'—Tremaine, of course—by the euro of the little village of Petits Colombes. The marriage was quite regular= -though no doubt the cure's fee was larger than usual—for the banns had been published as re- quired." "But still," I objected, "I don't see that that explains anything." "Let me help you. It was this clip- ping I happened to look at first the night we found the body. I read two or three' lines aloud, then Simmonds put it back in the pocket. It must have been those few lines which told Miss Croydon the nature of the clip- pings and their importance to her. The date line would have been enough to do that. Besides, -if she'd already known of them she'd have taken them before we got here." "You mean Miss Croydon is the girl who ran away with Tremaine? But, then, she couldn't have been more than ten or twelve years old in 1891." "Eleven," corrected Godfrey,' and I was struck by the radiant expression of his face as he took a yellow paper from his pocket. "Let me read you two sentences from this old report con- ceruiug the Croydon. family. You ought to have recalled them, my dear Lester." "Go ahead," I said. helplessly.

"Yes," I agreed; "unless all these people were /mistaken in their estimate of the value of the clippings.": "That, of course, is possible, but I don't think it probable. At any rate, let us disregard that suggestion for the moment and proceed along the oth- er line. What light is it possible for these clippings to shed on the murder of Thompson? Obviously it must be only by explaining motives. The ma- jority of them semi to be concerned with the adventures of a Frenchman who goes under various names, but who, I am sure, Is one aud the same person. He must, then, be either Tre- maine or Thompson. But Thompson was evidently not a Frenchman, and Tremaine pretty evidently is, though - his contact with the world has served to rub away a good many of the marks. I think we're pretty safe, therefore, in assuming that the Frenchman of these clippings is Tre- maine. As we go on I believe we'll find some internal evidence confirming this. You agree with me thus far?" "Perfectly," I said, "admitting your first premise that these clippings are really concerned with the case." "That, too, I believe, we'll soon he able to prove by internal evidence. Of dared look at Godfrey, his disappoint- ment would be se intense.

"Perhaps it would be beat," I ran through them feverishly again, but with no better result. At last I laid them down and took up my pipe. I must submit them to a keener brain • than mine. If Godfrey were only here! i heard a step come down the hall, stop at my door. Some one knocked. I hastily stuffed the clippings into my pocket and opened the door. But it ,was not Tremaine who stood there, It was Godfrey: "Well, of all things!" I cried. "I was just wishing for you. Come in." With that quiet smile of his he Step- ped over the threshold.
