THE CRAMPTON MYSTERY,
"Please tell Mr. Crampton . that i
ust gee him I have something of the
utmost Importance to tell him.'
"Very well, sir."
The maid left Fred Palmer, a hutitl
tng youth, with an nabllualfy Sensa
tional air. standing by tne nut tuck,
and ran upstairs as fast as she could.
The parlor seemed deserted, for there
was no Are In It, though it was mid
winter. Altogether, the house had a
disagreeable feeling of sadness about
It. No' wonder, considering that the
cnly son of the family had been miss
ing for over a woek, and nothing but a
crumpled and battered hat found In a
Itussengcr couch on the railroad to give
a hint of his fate.
Presently the maid came running
down the stairs with, "Please come up
to Mr. Cranipton's room, sir." Which
ncssage she delivered breathlessly be
fore she could touch the last step of
the flight.
The young man found a picture of
tiereuvernunt In Mr. Cranipton's room.
A week before that Leonard Cramp
ton would have been set down by any
chance acquaintance as a robust, pros
perous man of forty-live. This even
ing he looked, wrapped in a drab Man
uel dressing gown, and seated in an
armchair close to the tire, like a man of
seventy.
"You have something to say to me,
Mr. Palmer?" ho asked, in a shaky
mice.
"Yes, sir, and it would not wait, or
I would not have troubled you at thin
Jour. To come to the point, 1 have
traced the murderer."
Mr. Crampton pulled himself for
ward by the two arms of his chair and
tared with open mouth.
"Then poor Bob my boy has been
Bordered?"
"Oh, I beg your pardon, sir," said
Palmer, starting back and hesitating
J 1 thoughC why, everybody cays
I thought you were all reconciled to
to this view."
"Yes yes; go on and tell me. I sup
pose it must be so. Sit down."
"The man has left Chicago, sTr. The
police think he has made his way to
Oregon or Washington. They are loot
ing for him on other charges."
"Yes, but I care nothing about other
charges. Tell mo about this about my
boy."
"Yes, sir," said Palmer; "I am com
ing to that. This man commonly
known as Nipper XJary was seen Here
ft week ago last Wednesday, wander
ing about the town. He had on an old
brown traveling cap and a dilapidated
cummer suit. Said' he was looking for
cork. The police here bad no idea
as to his Identity. Thursday be was
teen speaking to poor Bob "
"Good God!"
"Yes, sir. Then he followed Bob
down toward the freight yards. You
temember that was the night "
"Yes. Never mind that "
"Well, sir, it seems that the wife of
the gatekeeper at the Love Lane cross
ing heard some one call tor help a
nan's voice. She went out and spoke
to her husband about It, and he told
ber she must be dreaming, that it wa3
k drunken man trying to Bins up the
lane. Seen after that thlB same gate
keeper admits that a man answering
tne description of Cary, only with a
derby hat, came to the crossing, carry
ing a bundle under his arm."
"And which way did he go?"
"Well, the gatekeeper says he turn
ed and walked up the line away trom
town. It was just after that that the
No. 9 train wentout, you know, Bir.
And it was on the No. 9 that the port
er found Bob's hat a derby under
tne seat. The conductor said, you re
member, that a rough-looking men
boarded the train at Whlter's and
paid his fare as far as Evanston."
The unhappy father was sobbing,
and Palmer respectfully paused a
moment in his story.
"What do you think this scoundrel
did with my son? wtrere is the body."'
"I have been looking through Love
i Lane this afternoon. wr. Crampton,
do you know the cedar clump at the
edge ot the Carpenter place, just about
. ftfty yards from the crossing?"
"Well?"
"1 found the bushes a good deal trod
den at one place there. The long grass
la the ditch at the roadside is dry now,
ot course, X at tbis place it was brok
en and stamped. And two rails of the
snake fence have been let down there.
Mrs. Carpenter told me that she had
sever known any one to make a short
rirt through the cedar clump at that
place. But I went and looked about
tmong the trees and found a well there.
11 ha not been used for years, and the
story goes that it Is a used-up oil
well."
"And you think?"
"Yes, sir. I think that the murderer
threw poor Bob's body down that
well."
"But Isn't It filled up."
"Not up to the top, sir."
"Isn't there any machinery In It?"
"No, sir. The machinery was all
removed long ago."
"Then," said Mr. Crampton, "IT
have that well opened, if 1 have to paj
ten thousand dollars for it."
Here was where Palmer found his
difficulty in the task he had set him
Bolf. The Carpenters two brottiert
and his wife or one of them remand tc
allow the well to be touched. When
Mr. Crnniplon, accompanied by Pal
mer, visited the Carpenters' place on
the morning after this Interview, th
Cnrrtnlrrs pointed out that the short,
thick inulrigrowtli of brushwood at
the mouth of the hole was not dis
turbed, (is it would be If a dead body
had been dragged thither and thrown
in only a week before. Mr. Crampton
pointed to the disturbed fence rails
and trampled grass at the break In thi
fence, and the unquestionable cvldcnc
that some one had passed In that way,
walked to the old well and gone back
again the same way.
But the Carpenters, though they ad
mitted all these evidences, denied the
force of Palmer's theory that a murder
had been committed thereabouts on tne
Thursday night of the previous week.
It must be said that the Carpen
ters were in a minority. Fred Palmer,
in whoRe ability to ferret out a mys
tery most of his fellow-townsmen had
great confidence, had discovered fresh
evidence in the shape of a rag with
blood on it in the ditch. Apart from
all this strong circumstantial evidence,
Fred Palmer was the assistant editor
of a local morning paper, and at lease
once beforo had successfully traced the
guilt in another lesser crime to the
guilty anrty.
In the previous case, a small gambl
ing swindle, the opposition paper and
most of the Inhabitants had ridiculed
Palmer's pretensions to being able to
eolve the problem; this time, at least,
the citizens wwo very wary of pre
mature ridicule.
The upshot of all this was that, while
Mr, Crampton consulted lawyers to
ilnd a means of compelling the Car
penters to allow their oil well to be ex
cavated, local public opinion in the
spare of forty eight hours preUy gen
erally came round to Palmer's views;
that young Bob Crampton had been
murdered for his watch and the con
siderable sum of money he was known
to have had In his pocket; that the
murderer was a tramp who had dis
appeared from the neighborhood on
the night of Bob's disappearance, and
that Bob's body had been thrown Into
the abandoned well.
"If you will only bring that villain
to jMstice," Mr. Crampton said to Fred
Pulmer at second interview, "you
may command any service 1 am able
to do you from now on."
That was just what Palmer wanted
to hear from Bob's father, chiefly be
cause Bob's father was also the father
of Clara. There was more than mere
reportorlal ambition in this activity
of Fred Palmer.
Palmer knew that Nipper Cary was
supposed by the Chicago police to have
made bis way to Oregon or Washington
state. Ho did not hesitate to follow
the desperate villain whoso description
auswered so completely to that of tho
tramp with whom Bob Crampton had
been seen.
He had $500 of his own within easy
reach. He resolved to send that sum
in his struggle for Justice and Clara. So
he went and spoke about the matter
to his editor and chief.
"And you want to go all the way to
Seattle to hunt this desperado?" the
editor-in-chief asked, incredulously.
"Just that," said rainier. "Bee here;
suppose I end by iluding the fellow,
the paper gets fame, doesn't it? Sup
pose I don't Qud him, what does the
paper lose? You can get Giles to sup
ply for me."
"Go ahead," said the chief.
And ahead Palmer went. But he did
not leave town without one brief In
terview with Clara, in which he got
that young lady she was very young,
besides being heart-broken about ber
brother to promise that if he brought
her brother's murderer to justice she
would honestly try to love him. The
promise was not given very willingly,
but it was sincere, and it meant an in
definite deal to Palmer, who was very
sanguine.
So Palmer, leaving Mr. Crampton to
fight with the pig-headed Carpenter
family, set out for Oregon by way of
Chicago.
Two days later a letter with type
written address came to Clara Cramp
ton. Don't be shocked. I have just
met that ass, Pulmer, coming out of a
police station, lie rushed up and grab
bed me by the shoulder. His Jaw drop
ped when he first saw me. He says you
all think I am dead. I am not.
"The fact Is, a tramp 1 came across
last week fol'.owed me all tho way out
of Love Lane, trying to bulldoze me 1
into giving him something. You know, !
I meant to go out there and tnuke a
moonlight study. It ended in my giv
ing him a bloody nose. Then I went
on my way, carrying my sketching box
and book under my arm. The tramp
tumbled so dead-like into the ditch that 1
after I had left him 1 gave up the idea
of making my moonlight sketch and
camo back to see if he was hurt badly.
"I found that he had crawled on to
the Carpenter farm. Then bo and I
made friends, and I took an idiotic
notion to go tramping with him. I had
read so much about that sort of thing
. .,! e, . . ...
In magazines. Some days ago I caught
on to 11 mar. my iranip was nor. a reg- 1
ular tramp at all, but a big criminal
the police here are looking for. Then
he suspected me and gave me the slip.
"Since theu I hare been havltje a
great time looking for him In the slums
of Chicago1 the police and I.
"I shall be home to-morrow, I am
an ass, I know, to frighten you like
this. But Palmer la a still bigger ass
He says 1ft will go to the Puclflo an 4
begin life afresh. I told hint It wai
the best thing be could do. Your e-wi
brother, R. C." St. Louis Olobe-Oe&e-crat.
