''ip TODAY'S MYSTERY STORY By rillLir FRANCIS NOWLAN Saturday's Mystery Solution "TJi THE cno bf "The Anonymous J.cttcr" Harvey Hunt knew that the stenographer had written the lottcr by a comparison of the Heht and heavy Im pressions on various letters, nnd tho epa.clngs between the letters in the two messages. It 1 a fact that the touch of no two typists is the same, and that n person's typtag is almost as utrong an Indica tion of identity as handwriting. Un less1 a menace is pounded out with one flnicr, letter by letter, the individuality of , tho typist will crop out in the ten dency to closely space certain groups of letters and to press strongly on some keys and lightly on others. The girl in this ense did not know Daniman at all, hfting seen him only itpn the few occasions on which he consulted Dr. Froblnh Hut In her wild rnd romantic imagination she had fallen desperately In love with him. and In a wild moment hud written the anony mous note to her employer. Overcome vrjth fear, after l)r FrobMi had dic tated the letter to Hunt, she had re signed her position that night. CH Can you solve this case of Inky Evidence tit THINK I have it all strnisht. 'I Hunt, but I can't find the wcanon. nnd as It's all more or less circumstan tial, I want that weapon to confront tho murderer with when I nerusc him." The speaker was Detective Rlngman. As he outlined the casr to the criminologist, George Ktvkham, a wholesale silk merchant had been killed in the library of his homo in Koiertalr. Reckham was living alone In the houso at tho time, all the members of his family being In the mountains. Hut he had had n caller tbnt night. Three per sons in the neighborhood had seen a man enter and leave. One of these three wai under tho Impression that it was Isaac looter, n merchant with whom Heck mail did a good bit of biiMlness. De tective Itlngman had traced out I.ober's movements on tho night of the murder, but could not quite piece them all to gether. Itlngman was sure he was the man, but the rest of his case would not amount to much If he cmilil not show Just how Iteckman had been killed. They had found the body slumped down in the chair before the desk. He had been stnbbcd to the heart. The medical examiner declared the weapon must have been n round. stem-like nf fait, not an ordinarv knife The wound looked us though creat force had been necessary to drive it into the body. Hut thqre was nn mii'Ii weapon to be found on .the prcmies On the dck itt-elf there was nothing but an overturned inkstand, and a few letters of a personal nature. The ink bad formed a big pool on the glass top of the desk. Adjoining the library was a little lavatory. At the Mme the crime was discovered there was evidence that the wash basin had been recently used. The soap was atill wet. Hut no traces of bipod remained in the basin or hod been wiped off on the still damp towel. But spattered about the window in the east wall of the library, which win dow looked out upon the garden, there wer some small ink splashes. Mas the overturned inkstand in such a position that it would have bteu upf.1,.,l!.a s'rSle?" nsked Hunt. "No," replied the detective. "That's what puzzle mo. I can't understand howJ.t came to he overturned." "Whr tliaC. .l. ...... l,ln hnf makes clear the whole story of whnt happened." said the criminologist. "It shows what the weapon was and tells you where to look for It."

THE DAILY NOVELETTE The Third Prince t Tiy CltlllSTir, IIAYK3 Most people raid that the only re markable thing about Celliv, belonging as she did to an unusually talented fam ily, was that there was nothing remark able about her, unless, or course, you counted her smile. And Carter Llewel lyn had always taken most people's word for It. so he continue! to do so exen after he attacliod himself to Nonna's galaxy of admirers and spent a great ileal of tlmo at the Hunnewell house. Thero scre seven Hunnewells Hnxel, who was stucHlmr music: Dill who. Ilka his dad, was a cartoonist; Mrs Hunnc- weii. wno was prominent in settlement work; Uarr. n married daughtir, who wrote, and Norma, who was beautiful , and Celta. Cella was. Carter thought, agreeing again with moat people, a stry ntco iclrl with a way of smiling- with ou Instead of at you, as Iluxel did, and an appar ent fondness for tho nfralm nf thn house: at least, she was nearly always enagea nun mem. ano nppcareu com petent. too. In an unostentatious way. Tho other Hunnewells were In tho habit of making demands upon her. which they alwan seemed confident would bo satisfactorily met. In so larire a family, even with the assistance of two maids, ther wan al was plenty to do. and the others wen alwujs tot; busy to do It. Hazel's ox penses wero large; Norma must hav the right clothes, for It was hopod that sho would make a brilliant match. So It teemed quite natural that as funds were short and Cella was cleer nt mak Ing over. Norma's clothes should fall to her, because It was argued, not hav ing any special talent she did not havo to be In the public ee. Cella never consciously resented this state of affairs 1'erhaps sho was too busy to think much about It. And ai she was usually cheerful no one elso thought much about It either; not eveii Carter who, having fallen out at th way of comliiR to seo Norma, camtr rather regularly Just as n friend of tho family. That Is, he did not think much about It till returning ono ovonlnir from a two months' trip he found tho Hunnc well house unaccountably quiet. No cmo answered the bell, although there were lights In tho hall nnd library Puzzled, he tried tho door. It opened easily, and he entered. In the room down tho hall some one was spcnklng "And for all I know they are runnlntr yet." Surprised Into eavesdropping. Carter nesitntea, nnu presently ueua tiptoeu out and closed tho door t-oftly Before Carter had tlmo to bo embarrassed sho saw him. "Back, Car(er7 Havo n Rood trip'" she asked cordially, "nnrrj's twins nro Just over the scarlet fever, nnd I still keep tho bell muffled Tho foil.1 havo gono to the beach early on account of tho twins Hazel couldn't risk contnirlon on account of her volco, and If nnvthlng' should happen to Norma s eves " Thero was no npology In Cella'H tone "Mother's on tho verge of n nervous breakdown, nnd daddv nnd I3II1 are our Income, of course. Harry goes all to pieces at sickness, so I persuaded her It would bo really better for the twins If sho didn't Btay, because I've always had a knack for nursing. Tho quarantine Is off now nnd they're getting along nicely; beforo long they'll bo running around again There are somo now magazines In the library I think I'll go out on tho porch." Her voice broke oddly on the last word, nnd suddenly Carter realized that she looked whlto and very tired Ho realized a number of other things, too, and wondered why ho had not seen them before "I'd rather ko out on tho porch, too, please." ho said "All right." clip laughed ' but don't expect mo to talk I'm hoarse from toll ing fairy stories. It was dark and cool cm tho porch, with a round orange moon coming up over tho black boxwood hedge Carter, seated on tho top step with tho wooden column at his back, wntched It rellcct- tiveiy. "I'm rather good nt telling stories my self," he said at lnU, "true ones, though " "Oh!" said Celln 'Won't jou tell me one If I'm good nnd don't Interrupt?" Carter leaned back more solidly against tho wooden column "If you won't Interrupt till I'm through," he agreed. "This ono Is called 'Tho Golden Gift' Under the spell of hl even pleasant toneH Cella's tired nerves re laxed gratefully "Onco upon a tlmo thero was a queen who had four fair daughters Tho fair ies canto to the christening of oath To tho first the) gave a golden pen, to tho second vcr beautiful, golden hilr. and to tho fourth a golden voice But the christening of tho third princess Ml on a festival day In falrjland, so that the fairies In their hasto forgot to bring a. gift 'We will send It,' they promised 'but because we forgot It, It will bo In visible and wo may not toll you what It is Thnt jou must find out for your selves "Tho years went on nnd tho royal famll u curled of looking for tho prom ised gift 'I fear.' tho nueen mother often said. as she drew tho third princess to her nnccuonaioiy, -mat tno laincs woro mocking my little daughter.' "This rumor persisted. Every one be lieved It, and tho third prlncera was quite inturnlly. affectionately, nnd good-naturedly pushed Into the background. The queen really loved her third daughter, but she was so busy ' displaying the golden rrtftn of tho other three that she had no time for her. "Tho llttlo princess did not seem to mind Sho wns never tho least bit en vious Hho t-nni; all day long nnd ran about serving every ono nnd making nil peoplo hnpm who nutia to tho palace to marvel at ller sisters' gifts Sho was so willing that the rest of tho family grew to take her services as a matter oi course.

Of course shotnl wns seemed so self-reliant and cheer ful Let us make excuses for them. 'Ono day, after all tho princesses had grown tall, a brown beggar came to the palace door And, of course, It was tho third princess who answered when ho kno( ked "'I am dlng,' cried the beggar, 'and only ono thing will save me.
