It had been upsft delib erately. Why? The first thought of the murderer had been to concetti the blood on the penholder. Uut he couldn't dtp it all into the Ink. The Ink welt waa not deep enough. So he poured the ink over the penholder. Then, fearinR that this stratagem night be discovered after all, he sought war to get rid of the pen altogether.

There were tire marks in plenty, but those of the abandoned car lay over them all, except those of Hunt s own roadster.

Then he continued ou his way out to. the Murtree plant, where he called at once at the president's office. "I found the car, Mr. Murtree," he said. "It's about seven miles down the pike toward the city, abandoned." "Any sign of Miller or the money?" asked the manufacturer. "So. The motor was still running, though, and the steering gear was not locked. I locked it and brought the key along. 'ou might ns well send down for it. I don't suppose you ever mark any of your cars with white chalk, do you? I thought you might, you know, If they needed any attention In the shop." "Sever," replied Murtree. "Why do you ask? Was thin car marked?" The criminologist explained. "Hut don't you think you made a mistake. Hunt, in not seurchlng thor oughly about the spot for Miller? If the engine was left running that's a pretty good sign that he intended coming back to the car. Perhaps he wns lured off Into n Held or something and made away with there. Hut no, I can't see any other explanation than thnt Miller himself stole the money. Tlou sec, no body but he and I knew he was. going In to bank for it. It wasn't as if it were the payroll, for which there is a scheduled time. We nlwayn send three men for the payroll. Hut occasionally we have quick need of large odd Minis, and It was for one of these thnt Miller went. Miller is the only person to whom guilt could possibly point." "No." said Hunt, "Miller Is guilt less. I think. It's our job to rescue him If he's still nllvc.

Mr. Mon tnux paid homage to the occasion by giving the best program lie han offered rhlladelpblans since becoming the regu lar conductor of tho orchestra, there txltiK a real symphony on It. Notwith standing these facts, tho atldlcnco waa small, enpecluJIy In view of the crowded slate of the Acojlemy nt Hoston Sym phony concerts a. few years ago. Tho concert opened with tho superb D major symphony of Hrahms, one of the greatest works In this form slnco Beethoven. Mr, Monleux gave tho best symphonic reading, especially In tho working out of the architectural detail, I that he has given since ha appeared ai Mr. rtlhiuiV "unAmtuftv'' almost three years aao. when ha alraeud tho Ktanck symphony, and gave a marvel ously minute reading of that $rat place oi mosaic music. Ills iacic or real icei Ing for tho symphonic form was shown In Dlacet). but In the architecture and In tho relation, of the various theme. It Is doubtful If the great work has ever naa a clearer rendition in inia ciiy. Tills was followed by I.1sf llttlo known (and perhaps deservedly) symphonic, poem, "Orpheus." an ex tremely monotonoua work, fouiied upon one themo and In virtually one tempo, depending therefore for Its effect upon tone color. The orchestral part of the program closed with a spirited reading of the "Tannhauscr" overture.
