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. "How sweet sbo inr tney
would exclaim 'What would wn do
without her?' Hut they ncvor mild, "What
may we do for her?' 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. If you will
Rlvo mo jour golden K'ft It will restore
mo'
"'I would gladly!' answered tho prin
cess, 'but I hnvo no" golden gift
"'Ah, yes' Insisted tne beggur, 'your
golden hcnrtl' "
Thero was a tenso bllenco. Tho night
had grown silvery.
'Did sho glvo him her golden
heart?" nsked Colli
"I don't know " Carter's olce was
tenser than the sllenco had been. His
oos looked deep Into Cella'B. "Did
she Cella? Tor T nm that brown beg
gar nnd you nro tho third princess and
I want to know Hccnuko if sho did
sha stretched forth her hand, ' nnd
though tho beggar took tho golden-heart
still her hand was not empty, for In It
lay shining the Jewel called love"
"And the brown beggar," said Cella
softly, "was not n beggar at all, but a
prlnco from a neighboring country."
