"Yes, sir --the whole story."

"I do not think It concerns the police,

"Then your sister knew you were
coming?"
"Oh, yes; and tried to dissuade me."
Goldberg nodded, still looking at her.
"That is all at present," he said, "Of
course- I shall have to summon you as
a witness at the Inquest."
She bowed without replying.
"One thing more," said Goldberg.
"Did he have the papers? Did he give
them to you?"
"No," she answered quickly. "He
had no papers. Ho was lying."
"Then that is alI," repeated the cor-
oner. "You'd better see her to her
cab, Mr. Godfrey," he added, with a
little smile. "She'll"need an escort."
She rose from her chair and dropped
over her face a heavy veil which she
had raised about her hat. Godfrey

ia lowed her through. She shrank brick
from the mob -which ebarged down
upon her as soon as she appeared on
the threshold, but Godfrey sprang for-
ward quickly to her rescue. In a
moment they were down the stairs and
.at the door of the cab.
"Miss Croydon," he said, leaning
toward her as she took her seat, "do
me the favor to deny yourself to all
callers tonight"
"I shall,"•she agreed instantly.

ODI3'IIEY glanced at his watch.
It was after 9 o'clock. The
rain had almost ceased, but
the wind was still high. He
turued back to the building and found
thesjanitor sitting just inside the door.
Ile had endured the ordeal of Inquisi-
tion by police and reporters nod was
rather limp.
After all, Godfrey told himself, he
had as yet ouly half the story; he
must get every detail from this man,
and he sass* that It would be necessary
to proceed delicately, for his compan-
ion's temper was evidently badly ruf-
fled,
"Nell," he began at last, "you look
as though those fellows had about
worn you out, Der.' --
"Higgins Is my name," said the jan-
itor. "Simon Higgins."
"Ola, yes. I remember nova,"
They sat together for a moment
silence, listening to the tramp of feet
in the halts overhead, the.opening and
closing of doors, the subdued murmur
of voices, At the stair foot, beyond the
elevator, they caught a glimpse now
and then of a policeman pacing back
and forth.
"They're searebhl' th' house," ob-
served I-Iiggins at last, with a grimace
of disdain. "I turned tie keys over grimace,
them. Dlucb. they'll find!"
"Nobody there, eh?" It was not real-
ly a ques'ton. It seemed more a sign
of polite interest on Godfrey's part.
"I ought t' know. I told 'em thea
wasn't 'nobody there. Ain't I been here
all evenin' 'sept fer that minute I run
acrost tie street? Nobody in nor out,
'sept th' girl, not since 7 o'clock, That
was about th' time that there Thomp-
sou come in too drunk t' stand, He'd
never 'a' got home in th' world by his -
self, but they was a feller with him,
a -holden' him up."
Godfrey was listening with strained
attention. There were many questions
he wiibed to ask, but he dared not In-
terrupt.
"Well, we 'got him upstairs atween
us. An' then, when I went through his
pockets, I couldn't find leis key, an' I
bad t' come down au' git mine afore I
could git tris door open. We laid him
on his bed an' left him there, a-snorin'
like a bog. That feller who was with
him was certainly a good sort. He pet
down here t' talk t' me awhile—it was
raintu' so hard he couldn't go—an' he
said he'd run acrost Thompson down at
Pete Magraw's place on Sixth avenoo.
Thompson was treatin' everybody an'
actin' like a fool ginerally. Then he
got bad an' started t' clean out tl1'
saloon, an' Pete was gotta' t' call a cop,
but this feller said be'd bring him home,
an' so he did."
Higgins stopped to take breath, and
Godfrey ventured to put a question.
"Did you know him?"
"No. I never` seed bim afore."
"What sort of a looking fellow was
be?"
"A good lookin' feller, well dressed—.
no bum, I ken tell y' that. He was
short an' heavy set, with a little black
mustache that turned up at tit' ends."
Godfrey's heart gave a sudden leap—
so Miss Croydon had told the truth
after alt!
"And then what happened?" he
asked. "I suppose this fellow went
away?"
"Oh, yes; he stayed here talkin' quite
awhile he started t' go onct or twice,
but tit' rain was too bad. But about
8 o'clock he said he couldn't stay no
longer, rain 'r no rain, an' was jest
buttonin' up his coat when a cab
drove up an' a woman got out. She
had a thick veil on so's I couldn't see
her face, but from her style I judged
she- was a high filer. She come up t'
me an' she says, 'I want t' go t'
apartment fourteen -- Dir. 'Thompson.
'Madam,' says I, 'I wouldn't if I was
you. "Why,' she asked, quick like,
'ain't he there?' 'He's there,' says I,
'hut he ain't in no condition t' see a
lady.' 'Never mind,' says she, 'I'll go
up.' 'A11 right,' says L 'I'll be back
in a minute,' I added t' thy friend.
'h?o,' he says, 'I can't wait; I must be
goin',' An' he started toward th' door.
'Well, good night,' I says, an' stepped
into th' car an' started it.
"I showed her th' door o' fourteen,
fin' she knocked. I was waitin' at th'
elevator, fer T knowed Thompson seas
too dead drunk t' hear her an' I'd have
t' tale her down ng'in; when blessed if

Well, sir, I was so dumfoundered I

too familiar, all' she'd put a bullet In

"why she'd go t' Itis room at all is
more'a 1 kill see."
"Was there only one shot?" Asked
Godfrey.
"Only one," answered the janitor,
"but It sounded like a small cannon.

Godfrey notified, with an appreciation
seemingly very deep.

Godfrey took a thoughtful puff Or

"Well," continued Higgins, quieting
down a little, but still keeping one eye
over his shoulder, "as I was sayln', I
throwed open th' door, an' there was

Ile was interrupted by a tramp of
feet that came down the stairs. It was
Simmotlds and the coroner.
"Well, we searched the house," said
Simmonds.
"Nobody there?" asked Godfrey.
"Not a living soul. I didn't really
expect to find anybody; but we went
through every roon1—even to the snits
which are occupied."
Higgius opened his mouth suddenly;
then as suddenly closed it.
"Did you find the doors alt locked?"
"Every one; the hall windows bolted
en the Inside and the trap in the roof
Looked in place. 'There's only one way
our matt could get Out—that was by the
flout . door • yonder;" and Simmonds
.looked sharply at the janitor.
Higgius grew red in the face,
"I ain't got nothin' more t' say!" he
burst out explosively. "You'll be sayin'
I did It next!"
"011, no," retorted Simmonds coolly,
"you didn't do It. But I'm not quite
sure you've tole us all you know.".
HIggins sprang from his chair, fairly
foaming at the mouth. with rage, but
Simmonds calmly disregarded hint.
"I've left a man on guard in four-
teen," he said. "Goldberg wants to
bring his jury around in the morning to
look at things, Here's your keys," and
be handed the jingling ring back to the
janitor and went out.
"They ain't no cause t' suspect nue.
I ain't clone nothin'," grumbled the Aut-
hor. Then bo. looked meditatively at
his keys, winch he still held In his hand.
"Funny," he murmured. "Funny. I
don't know when they went out."
_
Goitrey said nothing, but coutem•
plated him through half closed eyes.
At that instant the street door opened
and a man and woman entered.
"There they come nowt" cried HIg-
gius, springing to his feet. "Good even -
in', ler, Tremaine."
"Good evening," returned the stran-
ger itt a voice singularly rich and pleas-
ant.
"I was jest a-sayin' t' my friend
here," added the janitor, "that I hadn't
seen y' go out."
Godfrey for an instant found himself
gazing into a pair of the keenest oyes
he htul ever encountered.
"You wished to see me?" asked Tre-
maine.
"Ole, no, no," interrupted Higgins,
"But th' p'llce was goln' through th'
buihiiu' "--
"The police?"
"001, I forgot—you don't know—that
roan Thompson's been murdered. He
had tat' soot right acrost tit' hall from
you." '
"Murdered!" echoed Tremaine: "Mur-
deredl Wily, that's terrible! Who did
it? Bost' did it happen?"
• Higgins retold the 'story with some
unction, evidently enjoying his listen-
er's horror. But Godfrey did not even
glance at him, He was gazing, per-
haps a shade too intently for politeness,
at Mrs. Tremaine. And, indeed, she
was a woman to hold any man's eyes.
Godfrey rather wondered • that Mrs.
Tremaiue took no part in the discus-
sion. She stood listening apathetically,
not even noticing his stare,
"When they told me they'd gone
through your rooms," added Higgins,
"I was kind o' surprised. I thought
you was at home t'night"
"We left the house just after 7
o'clock --that was the first that I knew
fourteen was occupied• --I could see a
„
.,•*int through thetr u o
m. I didn't
see you anywhere about." Tremaine
started forward.
"Elevator, sir?" asked Higgins.
"No; wvo've been sitting all evening
at the vaudeville," and they went on
up the stairs, leaving Godfrey staring
after them.
Godfrey smokea ou placidly. He
suspected that Iliggins had something
more to tell, ants he saw that the only
way to get it was to wait with what

patience he could. Ile was in no Ma-
ry; besides, he wauted time to think.
The door opened; be heard Higgins
utter a sharp cry of amazement, He
looked up to see SImmonds—And with
him another man, short, heavy set, i
with a dark mustache. He caught the
gleam ot steel at his wrists.
IIiggins was on his feet, staring,
"So you recognize bine, do you2”
asked Simmonds, his face shining wijh
triumph. "I thought I couldn't lie
wrong. I got him quicker 'n I ex-
pected, Godfrey; I didn't even have
to hunt for bim. Of course you ,know i
him?"
"flow do you do, Mr. Godfrey?"
Said the prisoner politely, "Oh, yes,
Mr. Godfrey knows me—he knows me ,
too well to think I'd be nixed up In
anything like this?"
"Ilow are you, Jimmy?" returned
Godfrey. - "No, I didn't suppose"—
"Of course not!" said Jimmy, with
scoria. "I wouldn't put a man out—
That man Thompson's been murdered."
that ain't my line." And, indeed, it
wasn't, for Jimmy the Dude had
gained lits reputation as an expert
manipulator of combination locks.
The detective had listeued with a
satisfied smile.
"Higgins," he said, "this is the fel•
low who brought Thompsou home,
ain't it?"
"Yes, sir," responded the janitor in-
articulately.
"This," observed Jimmy, with fine
iudtgnation, "Is what a man gets for
doing a good action. I found that cove
Over at alagraw's just eyelike' for
, trouble, and I took him fu tow and
, brought him home. Now you say I put
him out! I'd better have kept niy hands

1 Jimmy threw up his hands with a
fine gesture of despair.
"Oh, you've got it all fixed," he cried.
"You'll railroad inc to the chair if you
can. I suppose you've got somebody
that'lI swear they saw me do it?"
"Yes," agreed Simmonds quietly,
"we have. I'll have you identified to-
morrow by the woman who saw you
kill Thompson."
Jimmy's face was ;rowing Misled.
Ilis temper was getting the better of
him, which, perhaps, was just what
Siminoncis wauted.
"\Iagrair got a share of that last
deai, didn't he?" he continued leper-
! turhably. "Naturally he's grateful.
But yqu ought to have waited a little,
Jimmy, you really ought. When wag
It you got back?"
"Yesterday," aussvered Jimmy sul-
lenly. Ile evidently realized tbe danger
of losing his temper and managed to
control himself..
"And after' an absence of two years!
Come, Jimmy," pursued Simmonds per.
suasively, "what did you do it for?"
Mutiny relieved his feelings by some
vigorous swearing.
"Say, you might tell me her name.
I'd like to know echo this posy is that
says I diel it. Willie she was about it, T
don't see i'bty she didn't give you my

"Weil, who Is slier" repeated Jimmy,
lrnjlatietttty,
"She's Uiss Croydon, sister-in-law at
!Weide Delroy.".
The prisoner's mouth fell open, ,hid
color changed,
"What?" he gasped. "What?"
Then his jaws snapped shut,
"Well," Inquired. Simmonds, "what
•ve you got to say?"
"Nothhi'," answered Jimmy sullenly.
"Not a single word. Leek me up, If
you're villa? to."
CHAPTER IV.
HE coroner's court was crowd-
ed,
rowded, as It always is at any
hearing presenting features
of nhorbid or sensational In-
terest, and Goldberg, with an In-
born jove of the theatric, arranged
itis witnesses so as to lead gradually
to the climax, the denouement. Ile
put the janitor on the stand first, and
then had Sinuttonils tell his story.
Some medical testimony followed as to
the exact nature of Thonipson's in-
juries, and the bullet, wineh had been
extracted, was put In evidence—it was
plainly lunch too large to have come
tram Miss Croydon's pistol, Finally
Miss Croydon herself was called. A
little gasp of delicious excitement ran
tlirougit the crowd as she appeared at
tho floor of the witness room. Ilere
was a tidbit to touch the palates of
even the jaded police reporters.
Godfrey, looking at her as she came
steadily forward to the stand, felt his
Heart waren with admiration. She
seemed perfectly composed and, if not
perfectly set ease, at least as . nearly
so as any woman of leer position could
he in such it place, Godfrey was
pleased to see Drysdale in close at-
tendance,
ttendance, and he nodded to him en-
couragingly,
Bliss Croydon told leer story clearly
and with an aceeut of sincerity there
was no doubting, It differed In one
deti.il from the story she had told the
night before. Thompson, she said, had
perceived the intruder, and there had

II -a seas not unconscious, but was
struggling to his feet again when
his assailant shot him.
'.rile -coroner glanced at the jury, but
none of tleeln zoomed disposed to ask
any' questions, Then Goldberg made
a sign to Simmonds. He left the room,
but reappeared in a moment, lead-
ing in Jimmy the Dude.
Not until they were quite near aid
Miss Croydon perceive them; Then, as
b'r eyes met the prisoner's, she half
started from her chair, her face like
marble. As for Jimmy, Godfrey was
astonished to perceive the fascinated
gaze lie bent upon Miss Croydon.
Goldberg btua perceived their agita-
tion, and tbe gaze he befit upon the
witness grew perceptibly more stern.
"lease Croydon," he began, "you
Have described the guilty man as short
and heavy set with a dark mustache
turning no itt the ends. Look at the
prisoner before you. Is be the man?"
"Ile is not," replica the witness in
a firm voice and without an instant's
hesitation.
"You are sure?"
"Perfectly sure; there is little or no
resemblance."
! "That is all," be said abruptly.
"You may go, Miss Croydon.'
1 She passed from sight, the door
closed, and Godfrey leaned back in his
i chair to hear Jimmy tell a smooth
story of his doings the night before.
\iagraw and half a dozen others con-
firmed the tale; it was a really good
alibi, carefully arranged; there was
nothing to disprove it, and at the end
the jury, without retiring, headed in
the usual verdict of death at the hands
of a person unknown.
When it was over Simmonds crooked
at Godfrey'an inviting finger, and td-
gether tlia rastent down to the detec-
tive's private office,
"Sit down," said Simmonds. "I want
to talk to you. We're up against 0.
tough proposition."
1 Godfrey sat down and looked at hied.
"Have you gone through Thompson's
belongings?"
"Here they are," and Simmonds
brought, out a canvas bag and opened
it. "Look at them."
Godfrey turned out the contents and
examined them piece by piece. It was
merely a lot of ordinary clothing, most
of It much the worse for wear and all
of It strongly impregnated with the
odor of tobacco.
"Anything In the pockets?" asked
Godfrey,
