wondering who Martin Swift was,
where he ease* from what about his
family. his age. what he looked like and
so forth Why didn't 1 go and see fur
myself? Well. very many times i was
oo the point of entering the store and

stows. no better. Yon have an aversion
but you cannot give a reasonable excuse
fur It
I repeat. nine rears paa.ed away, and
1 never entered the store or saw the pro
prietor. Then one day 1 made a sodden
resolve. I would walk right into the
ptacr and see and speak with Martin
Swift This was in November. and the
doors were shut. I got up from any
work, rule half a mile on • street car
and walked into the liquor store as If I
had legitimate business There was an
Aisle lo feet wide down the centre of the
store. and on eacrf -floe were rows of
kegs and barrels Near the rear end
was the .torr. but it was cold. Close to
the stove was au old desk. with papers
scattered over the toy Fire feet away
a flight of stairs led to the.seond story
The interior of the building was about
what 1 hal pictured it through •11 those
long years- 1 stood looking around for
a minute and then picked up the biker
and rapped on the stove Hr Swift
could not be avis:% or the front door
would bare been locked. if npetairsny
alarm would bang him down. As time
passed 1 rappe.: again and again, but 1
seemed to be alone in the place. The
first idea wets to ebendon my quest. The
door might have been left unlocked by
accident. and Mr Swift might not re-
tnrn for hours I had started to go out.
when I anddenly remembered that there
were blinds to the two window .1 the
second story and that I had never seen
them open. I had always figured that
Mr. Swift had ro..me up there. The
blinds never being opened. 1 had deduced
that he was a single man and ec,•entric
in his habit. 1 not only hal a curiosity
to see the upstairs part. but as I stood at
the foot of the stain it occurred to me
that the old man might be lying in his
bed up there too ill to come down.
1 found the second story divided off by
a plank partition. The west half was
devoted to empty bottles and came,
while the eat ball. which looked down
on the street. was divided into two
rooms—a sitting room and a bedroom.
Each room had a window The dozer of
the. sitting room was ..,,open, and on the
floor lay the dead boy of Martin Swift.
There was a gas jet burning at full head
and I could see plainly. A second
glance told m• that the man had been
murdered. It wont-( have been the
right thing in me to rah downstairs acid
out and give the alarm At once, but i
did not d„ so. I Isatl•••I against the deer
casing and carefully took note of every
thing
Yee, Martin Swift was an old man—
old and xray and wriuklesl, as I hal pie
tared hien. Some o1 his front teeth
were gone. and on the floor beside hies
lay a pair of steel bowed spectacles.
The room was not only plainly furnish-
ed. but the dust and cobwebs and gen
eral slovenly look proved that he was
not of tidy habits. I conld see the bed
m the other room and took notice that it
bad not been slept in the night before.
I took out my notebook and carefully
jotted clown the pusitlup of the body—
the position of two chain at an old ta-
ble in the centre of the room, a pipe ly
lig on the floor besides asters yet warm
and a doxen other tbinp.
Mr. Swift had had a visitor the night
before, and that visitor had murdered
him and left the store by the only en
trance and exit. That was why I found
the front door unlocked. Who was the
visitor` I knew the sex before I entered
the room The carpet was old and had
not been swept for weeks in the dust
on its surface was the print of a wo
man's shoe—a No. 1 shoe. She had
found the old man in the store below
and come rap with hint The two had

table When I inspected the table, I

The box was not to be found. The two
hal sat down to overhaul the contents
of a box of papers. 1n front of the wo
man's chair were the imprints of her
feet again.
The old man had been killed by a but
let through the heart. On the hearth of
the stove was a little heap of tobacco

smoking. Having finished his pipe, he
reached int his right hand and knocked
•• Tkaak you," she said, amply, "s lick.

•• You don't care or the sweet wines'"
•• 1 don't think I really care for any wise
but this a what we drink at. home. You

moment after.
He smiled.
•' It would be for the first time in my .re

"• How *tames !" She looked at him
point blank with • pair of clear and very
kind blue eyes. " Have you scruples ` 1),

Well,"—he drew a long breath "hard-
ly. Yet for me it would be wrong.
The oolor deepened on her cheek a little.
He saw her check back a word from her
lips, and the shadow thet swept over her
face was sweeter than any brightness
But he oould not appropriate her unmerit-
ed sympathy.
" No - no," he replied laughing slightly.
•• It u not at all • temptation to me. 1

•• Then you are afraid. after all."
Sometimes we reoognire danger though
we may not fear it."
•• If rt be dauger you mutt fear it You
do, or you would not take precautions."
He looked down and met her earnest
glmos. She was forgetting her dinner.
•' 1f you were not afraid," she went oo,
impubfvely, " wine would seem to you as
harmless ea water. It u because you here
• fear that you will sot touch it."
He wee at • loss just here. It wee ditb
cult to match her candor without a touch of
seeming discourtesy.
"Suppose 1 drink to your better courage,"
she said. A refinish dimple showed itself.
.. The deadly cup has no terror for ane."
He reified his crystal goblet and drank to
her is sparkling water, saying gently
" But of my cup no one need be afraid."
Therm was a pause. She had not lifted
the wine to her lips. A s.rvent came to re
move the course and someone spoke to her
across the table. When he could claim her
attention again he was ready with • bright
remark about the beauty of some roses in a

vaguely, sad then with • purpose in her
