TKOT1VK. Self-sutisracllon was the only strong
emotion .that I hud ever seen in Stnl
brlilge'x face up to that moment. Thut
episkn hud learned to recoynl.e.
utid I could even draw safe Inferences
frtini the debtee uf Its manifestation.
Milt It was a new face thut he wore as
he stood beside the body of Willurd
bavin.- 1 could not read it. Yet if 1
had been compelled to do my best I
should have laid thut he was tortured
by a despairing sorrow, wholly st ilish,
absolutely unmixed with uny huniuit
sympathy for the man whose awful end
we hud both witnessed.
1 I could really understand thut the
deutli of my uncle wus u terrible blow
to Stulbrldnc, whose dearest schemes
wen' dependent upon his put run; und
I could expect nothing better of the
limn thuu that he should think of him
self alone, even In the presence of so
terrible u tragedy.
"Stabbed to the honrt!" I cried, hend
Iiik over the body. "Who could have
done this?"
HtalbrlilKe motioned townrd the door.
"Get helii," he said hoursely.
At this moment u'hoy in the janitor's
employ looked lino the room und. at
the sight of the corpse, tied ill terror.
1 cried nut after him thut the police
must be summoned; thut Mr. Davis
hd been murdered, nd that the us
kiasslu )md escaped by the window. It
Is doubtful whether the I'rlaliteneil hoy

shouted for the oulisise of raising a
general tilurm and not for the boy's
information. The cry passed from
iK.u th to mouth along the corridors,
and score nf persons were Instantly

and also to tine un umbuhtiice cnll.

of his authority.
There was only one person in the
crowd that made any trouble, lie wus
n lull, dnrk-visascd fellow, whose ap
Ijearance us well as his voice KUKKested
Italy as his native land. I could not
fully understand what ho was saying,
but it seemed to contain un Intimation
that the fute which had overtaken my
uncle wits Just. 1 .thought the niun
a crunk with nnitrchlsllo tendencies,
mid puid no further attention to him.
"There'll he h central otllce niun
down here pretty quick." said the po
liceman. "I've told the Janitor to tele
phone to headquarters. We must keep
the crowd out till then."
We succeeded without difficulty. No
body una admitted but the ambulance
surgeon, who had been summoned, and
Vice President Kodney. of the I'nion
lines, who was ton important a person
to be excluded.
Stalbi blue, mean while, hud remained
standing like u statue beside my un
cle's dead body. gu.inK down ut It. He
did no, move when the ambulance mir
g.'on knelt to make his examination.
It wus iickly done, and he disturbed
as little its possible the position of the
corpse.
' "There are two wounds here." he
said, in response to my questions. "One
is upon the right side of the head. It
was made by a glunc-tne; blow from
gome heavy Instrument having an edge,
but not sharp like a knife. The blow
may have stunfled him, but it would
not have killed him. The second wound
wus. a stub with a small, round and
plinrp pointed instrument, like a stilet
to. II entered the right breast be
tween the seventh and eighth ribs, und
srenis to have penetrated the heart. It
must have caused almost instant
deuth."
"Yet he was alive when we entered."
1 cried In horror, glancing ut Stul
hridge. "We had the murderer under
out' very hands and we let him escape."
Htalhridge answered with a groan. I
looked ut him, but lie did not meet
my eyes; he wan still staring at the
corpse. The thought come to me that

whiit he had done,
"Fute, fute!" he muttered, still with
out looking at me. "Who could have
dreamed of this?"

for money. How niany men have you
ruined with your schemes? ltuu them
over In your mind, und tell me, if you
cuii, which one f your victims struck
this blow. Then blame yourself for
It!"
"This is hardly fair." whispered Rod
ney, laying his hand upon my shoulder.
1 turned toward him. and saw that
there were tears in his eyes. He was
a hard-fisted man of business, seasoned
by thirty years of struggling in New
York. His emotion affected me. My
unreasonable anger abated: It save way
to grief. I had felt sincere affection
for my uncle, though his course of late
years hsd excited my strenuous oppo
sition. We were of an old and honored
family, and I held our name to be of
more consequence than mere money
betting. Though he was much older
than myself, I hud ventured to remon
strate with him at times when Stul
brldge's schemes secured tinenviuble
note; but there had been no open quar
rel and 1 had always been at home In
his house.
With this thought came the recollec
tion of my duty to my uncle's family.
They should be informed at once, and
the painful task was-surely mine. I
spoke of this tn ISndney, and he said
thut I should go at once. 1 shuddered

when I pictured the Ridef ot my aunt
and my cousin lOmily. who bus been ul
reudy mentioned us tho betrothed of
Walter Nornutn. There was a son, too,
who must be summoned from college
by this terrible news..
As I was about to leave the room,
the detective from police headquarters
arrived. Ills promptitude amazed me.
I would have sniii that scarcely ttn
minutes had elapsed since the commis
sion of the crime. In reality the inter
val hud been much hinder. Also, as
subsequently appeared. 01111 of the ten

son. He was about t lie medium height,
and his face wus of so conventional a
type that I began to wonder vaguely
whether I had seen hhn before. His
expression was somewhat vacant, but
not with the vamniuo of , stupidity,
ruther with the listlessncss 'of a niun
who has nothing to do and very little
to think ubout. He was dressed In the
sort of clothes thut one will see the
most of, If In- walks about the city all

"Kxcuse me." he said, politely. "If
you're not really In u hurry, I'd like to
ask u few questions before ynu go."
He usked but very few, und seemed
ulmoHt Indifferent to my answers. In
deed, his indifference piqued me. and
I wus the more direful to tell my story
uccurutcly 11ml to brine; out all the
points. I succeeded in arousing a cer
tain amount of interest when I told
him of the cliisiii.idoor, mid of my pur
suit of the murderer; but he censed to
puy attention to me when 1 said that
I hud failed tn net a Klhupse nf the es

toithe lloor near the door, which led to

"The murderer must have taken
them from my uncle's' pocket und
locked the door immediately after the
commission of the crime," j said. "We
found It locked."
"Thut wus the way of It. of course."
said Johnson. "There are bloodstains
on tlie iloor and 1 lie caslnu. us you
have doubtless observed."
I hud not seen them, but when John
son pointed them out they were obvi
ous. "He washed his hands afterwards."
Johnson continued. . "There is the
towel on which he wiped them."
He pointed at the now el in question,
which wus thrown over the corner of
a looking-Klass that hung; upon the
wall.
"Why did he throw It up there?" I
muttered, half to myself.
"It was not thrown." said Johnson.
"You can see that. It was hung up
there."
The top of the looking-glass, which
was a very large one, was nearly eight

"A tall niun. pYobably." said John
son. "Hus anybody meddloil with the
towel, the rack under II. the bowl, or
anything else hereabouts?"
"Nothing hus been disturbed," said
Stalbrldge.
"No blood here," he said: "this water
is perfectly chiin."
He pointed into the bowl where there
was a little water. On looking more

closely than Johnson had done. I was
able to discover a few spots of blood
at the upper edge of the bowl where
the horizontal slab was set over it.
When Johnson's attention was called
to them, he scanned them closely.
I had begun to feel considerable re
spect for the detective's ability. The
quiet way In which he had possessed
himself nf the keys without attracting
anybody's attention bud excited my
curiosity, and hud led me to believe
that there was more In him than u
peared upon the surface. But when I
had demonstrated the superiority of
my own observation over his, 1 began
to hold him chean. ir 1 had been the
criminal. I should have feared Htal
brldge far more. His acuteness was
well known; and his appetite for re

Dr. Moses T. Runnels, of 8 K
9th St., Kansas City, writes :
" I believe the life of my daughter,
now four and a half years old was
saved by the use of Bovinine
during her dentition. I know of
nothing better in cases of ex

bud suffered deeply by my uncle's
death, and he would never rest, 1 felt
assured, until he had seen the author
of that Injury In the hands of the exe
cutioner.
"Have you formed any theory of the
crime?" 1 asked Stalbrldgo.
He did not answer.
What do you think about It?" the
detective asked of me.
"I am puxsled by one circumstance
said I. "The surgeon tells me that my
uncle was stabbed to the heait. Yet
he was alive when we entered. There
fore the murder must have bsen com
mitted within a very few seconds. In
deed I believe that I heard my uncle cry
when the blow wai struck. Now. then.
could the murderer have washed the
blood from his hands? We entered at
once."
"That's Just the point that bothered
me. nt first," said Johnson, "but it's
clear enough now. The wound in the
head was indicted first. It was the
blood from that wound which stained
the murderer's hands. He washed
them, and probably he was on the point
of leaving the roonr when you came,
and blocked his escape. At the same
moment, your uncle, who hud been Iv
inn unconscious and was supposed by
the criminal to be dead, regained his
souses. He staggered to his feet. The
criminal, as he Hed across the room to
reach the other where the window Is

struck the second and total blow, und
escaped and Mr. Davis fell dying. How
does that strike you, gentlemen:

theory us very strong, and my confi
dence in him was restored,

'It wus undoubtedly robbery," said
the detective. "You will observe that
there Is blood upon these papf-rs on the
desk. It will be found on examination
thut one which should he there is miss

He hurriedly scanned the papers.
"You ure right," be said. "There Is
a paper missing; and its disappearance
will be very convenient for the Twenty-
seventh street railroad people."
He turned to me with a gleam of In
telligent triumph In his eyes; and then
pointed 'to the towel over the corner of
the glass.
"Your friend Norman Is a very tall
