In 1390 he was in Australia, planning a bank, robbery. Ile meets Thompson, descended from his estate of captain to that of common sailor. Tremaine takes Thompson in on the plan, and Thompson, to get even for that treachery at Sing Sing, gives hint away. Tremaine, no doubt, got a peni- tentiary sentence. He probably broke jail again, for in 1849 bo appears at Martinique, supposedly from South .America.

"Yes," I said, "aud I have cudgeled :any brain In vain trying to imagine •;what that message could have been." , "Well," remarked Godfrey, "while Twe can't, of course, give its actual text, I don't think it very difficult to guess its general tenor.

It's teretty safe, then, to suppose that the Miessage told him that she was black- ailable—In. other words, that she had tarried a rich man.

Perhaps she disregards his first note; perhaps she's unable to de- cide what to do. She has, of course, been thrown into a panic. He writes again. In despair she seek -s the advice of tier sister, and Miss Croydon, who is by far the stronger of the two, of- fers to come here herself, see the than and find out what he proposes to do. "Tremaine has secured Thompson's key, given him some money and sent him out to get drunk, But for Jimmy the Dude he would probably have stay- ed away—pr ibably in the lockup—but Simmy brings him home. Tremalao has to make the best of it, since there isn't time to get Thompson out of the way again. Antoray, he's so dead drunk that Tremaine anticipates no in- terference from tem. He shuts him fa the bedroom and sits dawn to Wait for Miss Croydon. "She arrives promptly, despite the rain, and we can imagine that the dia- logue which followed was not of a milk and water kind; both of them are full of fire, and they made the sparks' fly. "Thompson is aroused by the VOkes or perhaps wakes naturally, conies Into the outer room and interferes. He le still half drunk; perhaps he threatens Tremaine.

UIIL. - cold light of the MenaIntl brought with it a profound ukeptietstn, Godtrey'll titter,' no longer seemed so eel:mine, ng. In fact, it did not seem convineingl at all. Many, objections occurred to me. I saw that the whole elaborate structure was built upon quicksand. There was no proof that any of the elippings referred to Tremaine or Thompson. There was no proof that, Thompson had gathered thein with elaborate care and of set purpose. There was no proof Yes. There was one point susceptible, of proof, By It the whole structure would stand or fall. "Mr. Royce," I said to our junior, Ill the eourso of the morning, "I wonder If l could be spared this afternoon? I've some business Of my 'own which I'd very much like to attend to." "Why, certainly," he answered in-, stantly. So when I left the office at noon, I took the. elevated to the Grand. Central station and bought a ticket ie. Ossining. Once there, I went direct to the gray old prison and stated my er- rand to Mr. Jones, the subwarden,' whom I found in charge. "I've me up from New York," I began, after giving him my card, "to see if you can identify this man," and 1 handed him the photograph of Thompson. Ile looked at It long nee searchingly, .seemingly for a time In doubt, but at last he shook his head, "No, I don't believe I ran," he said. "There's something familiar about the face, but I can't place it." "I3ow long have you been connected with the prison, Mr. Jones''t" I asked, "I began thirty years ago as guard. But what made you think I could iden- tify this fellow?" "We've rather imagined;' I answer- ed, "that his real name was Johnson and that he served a term here for robbery, beginning In 1885." IIe looked at the photograph again, with a sudden flush of exeitemerat in his face. "I believe you're right,"; he said. "Let's look at Johnson's photo." He consulted the index, then turned to one of the wall cases. "Here he Is," he said, opening a com- partment and pointing to a photograph. "It's the same man sure, only changed a lot, It would be easy to prove it. I suppose they took hie Bertilion meas- urements at the morgue, and we've only to compare them with oars. They'd be the sauce, no matt'w how touch he'd changed." And'he had changed, indeed! The Johnson of the prison photograph was, of course, smooth•shaven; his face was alert, intelligent; there evas no scow upon the temple, nor did the features show that subtle bloating of long con - tinned dissipation. But it was the same—undoubtedly it was the same: There was no need to apply any finer tests. "I remember him now," said Jones, lookiug .from one photograph to the other, "very well. He was a quiet, well behaved chap; had been captain of a little tramp steamer, I believe. He had a perfect mania for cutt.ieg pieces out of newspapers and pasting them ire it scrapbook. He spent all his lei- sure time that way. Oh, yes; I remem- ber, too, he tried to escape, but his pal went back on him and left him lay - in' out yonder by the wall. His pal was a bad oue, he was; be got away and I've often w•oudered what became of bin. Here the is." He swung open another compart- ment, and I found myself staring at Tremaine! Not until I was quite near New York did I recover sufficiently from the effects of this discovery to heed the cry of the train boy as he went through the. coaches with the evening papers. "Alt about th' • Edgemere murder!" he was crying, and the name caught my ear. "Edgemere," I repeated to myself. "Edgemere. I've heard that name somewhere." Then in a flash I remembered, and in a moment more the whole story of the tragedy of the night before—the mile, der of Graham and the theft of Mrs. Delroy's necklace --lay before , me. With what intensity of Interest I read it can be easily•Hmagined. I was shaken, nervous, horror stricken. That there was some connection between this second tragedy and the one in suit fourteen I did nOt • dotibt, and I read and reread the details with the greatest•: care, in the effort to .find whey that eobneebon lay, But it was impossible to see how Tremaine could be implicated in the Edgemere mystery even In the least degree—his alibi was perfect. On the other hand, the evidence against young Drysdale seemed complete, in every link. Certainly none of the papers doubted his guilt, and they handled his past career and his family history with a minuteness anti freedom avbieh must Permanent Results "I had been suffering fed over two months with an obstinate cough, as had also my little girl.

H. \alley, Druggists have been most trying to his friends. Coroner Heffelbower came in for the lion's share of praise—every one agreed that, he lied conducted the case with rare skill and acumen. Of course the Record had his photograph, as well as those of his wife and six children, and as I looped at his round face I fancied bit strutting bank and forth .in his saloon, inflated with pride and listen- ing approvingly to the constant ringing of the cash register. It's an ill wind— but certainly there was no denying that he had handled the case adroitly. Drysdale, it appeared, had been lodg- ed in the jail at Babylon and stead- fastly refused to make any statement or to explain his absence from the house. No reporters had been admit- ted to Edgemere, though that fact did riot prevent two or three of them from writing minute descriptions of the con- dition of affairs there And publishing interviews with the members of the family. Marvelous accounts were giv- en of the exquisite beauty and im- mense value of the missing necklace, and the Record published a drawing of it "from a description by Tiffany." We pulled into the station, and I took a car down to my rooms, turning this latest enigma over and over in my mind, looking at it from every an- gle, trying ins vain fo discover some fact that would implicate Tremaine. At my door I paused a moment; Then I crossed the hall and knocked at Tre- maine's door. Perhaps Cecily had for- given me, and In au evening's talk I ougbt sorely to be able to find out sometihitg more. But It wU not Cecily It was Tre- maine himself who opened to me. "Oh, Mr. Lester. •ae cried, with hand outstretched, "bow are yon? I wanted to see you. I've been listening for your step. You must join us here this evening." "I shall be glad to," I said, return- ing his clasp, all my suspicions inelt- Ing away, reduced to absurdity at sight of him. "But why so particularly this evening?" "Because we've planned a little cele- bration. Cecily is going away"— "Going away?" "Yes—back to St. Pierre to get my house in order. But I'II tell you at din- ner. It's to be served,itere in an hour. You will come?" . "Certainly I will," I assured, rhIm and hastened over to my room to dress. He was awaiting me when I knock- ed an hour later. A table had been set With three places. "Come in," he said. •a"Dinner will be here directly. I thought it safer to have the celebration here because— well," and he nodded significantly to- ward the inner room. "Cecily?" I questioned. "Yes. She takes It to heart more than you'd believe, but she'll get over it itt a day or two." "When does she leave?" "In the morning early, by the fruit boat. And, by the way, I want you to go down with me to see her off. She'll appreciate it." "Why, certainly—but isn't It rather sudden:" "In a way, yes. You see, I've ar- ranged far a committee from ltew York to go down to Martinique and look over the ground, and 1 wart to take them before they have a chance to cool off. I've got to get my house there In order and engage some servants, for that will be our headquarters, and if teeny doesn't leave by the boat to- morrow she calci go for ten trays. Ten days from now I'm going to have the .committee ready to sail, and when I get them to Martinique Pm going to give them a sample of creole hOspital- ity. I wish you could come," he add. ed warmly, "I'd like to have you." .; "There's nothing I'd like better," 1 Said, suddenly conscious of how 1 had slandered him in my thoughts, "but I fear it isn't possible just now." "Well, some day I shall have yeti there, and I warn you I shan't let yott stn in a hurry. Coma in," he added, Ile responso to a knock at the door. 'ywo' waiters entered, and 1u a nio- ncent the dinner wee served. "Tihet wilt do," said Tremaine, press- ing a coin into the hand of each of them. "We'll attend to ourselves.

She 'teas arral;tu tit rill her ft;icr;s had expected. She was arrayed 1`n ail her finery—she had put on every piece of jewelry, 1 think—and she paused be the doorway t'. tht'o,v rile a courtesy. Tremaine took her hand and Ied her to a neat with a grace worthy of the grand monarque. "See the spoiled child !" he said, laughing across the table at her, a moment later. "She's been malting herself miserable for nothing. In two weeks we shall be together again at ; ond-Corre." She answered his laugh with a thin smile and shot me a glance pregnant with meaning. I knew she meant that her prophecy had come true. He brimmed her glassy with wine. "Drink that,' he said, "to our meet- ing in two weeks." • "To our meeting in two weeks !" she repeated ironicaIIy and drained the glass. But in a few moments the mood passed and she became quite gay. Not till then did it occur to me that Tre- maine had made no reference r e to the tragedy at Edgemere. Then I caught myself just in time, for I remembered suddenly that I was not supposed to know he had been there. "So you have been successful?" I asked finally. "Yes, I believe so. I've succeeded in interesting some capitalists. Richard Delroy—perhaps you knows„him?" "No; only by reputation," "IIe has helped tae greatly," "You got through, then, sooner than yen expected?" "Yes; I thought It would take a week at least. Sir. Delroy had arrang- ed that the conference should take place at his country house near Baby- lon. We finished the details yesterday, and," he added atter the faintest hesi- tation, "an extremely unfortunate event occurred there last night which made any further stay impossible—I dare say you saw an account of it in the evening papers?" "Oh, yes; that murder and robbery. The evidence seems to point very strongly toward a young t:ellow named Drysdale." "Very strongly," .he agteed, nodding with just the right degree of concern, "although I'm hoping that he may be able to prove himself not guilty. An agtiab:e young fellow—somewhat Im- pulsive and headstrong—but let us not talk about it. Il's toe unpleasant. This evening we must be gay." There is no need for me to detail what we did talk about, since it in no way concerns this story, but I had never seen Tremaine toe better advan- tage. Ile was' the unexceptionable gentleman, the man of the world, who ]tad traveled far and tasted many things, a brilliant and witty talker—a personality, in a word, on the whole so fascinating and impressive that long before the evening was over I had dis- missed es ridiculous my vague sus- picions of an hour before. The story that Godfrey had built up was, I re- flected, wholly hypothetical, flims, with the flimsiness which always at- taches to circumstantial evidence. I knew glow a jury, looking tit Tremainet would laugh at It. No lawyer would risk his reputation with such a case, ria magistrate wouid allow it to pros Geed before bite. Why, for ail I knew, Tremnine could prove an alibi tor the tragedy in suit fourteen as complete as that which Delroy bad offered for him in the Edgemere mystery. God - Prey and I had been forging a chain of sand, imagining it steel! As for that prison photograph, I had been deceived by a chance resemblance. "The boat starts from pier S't, Notth river, at the foot of West Twenty-sev- enth street, at 8 o'clock," were Tre-, Maine's last words to me. "We shall 1 look for you there." Is there any virtue in dreams, I wonder? That night, while I slept, the tragedy is suit fourteen was re- euaeted before me. 1; 'witnessed its 1 every detail—I saw Tremaine snatch up the pipe and strike a heavy blow -- then, suddenly, behind him, appeared a time dark with passion, a hand shot out, a pistol flashed, even es *Tremaine tried to Itnock it aside, mad Cechy Wilted down upon her victim with eyes 01 blaeing hatred! t ryas at the pier in good time, fete let me ermines it, 1 was curious to see the details of thls leave taking.
