"Your friend. Mr. StollirldKe, Is a
wonderful inur..'' .
So said Detective .T.ihnson In nie on
the eveliinit of the day of the murder.
I was too ieenl Interested in learn
ing what StalbrllK hnd done to think
of protesting nKiilnst his beinK called
my friend. After leaving the wene of
the Time for tlie purpose of coiivcyinir
Hie lUuudl'ui news to tuy uunt and my
roiisi-14 I -hud known m-nrroly anything
of thp progress of the raw. Tile de
lertlv'i4 ,hHd promised to report to me
lit my. uncle's house, and' I Inul been
impiftlontly awaitliiK his fuming. It
was about ejiiht o'rlork when lie was
shown hit', the drawing; room and he
responded to my ougev ilestiin with
praise of StalhrldKe.
"What, has he ilrtiiH?" I demanded.
"Mas he' found the murderer'."'
"Not- yet." replied the detectlvo, "but
Me is w i nk i iik down to him rapidly.
Tliut man has more than the instinct
of a bloodhound. The. hound must hunt
for the trail, but Mr. StulbridRf knows
whole Ihe trail is without hunting for
II."
"I should view silrh knowledge, with
Hllsph ion." said I.
"t.h. come now," rrtorled Johnson,
tsood-naiuredly. "you lire dolus; your
friend an Injustice. To say unfiling of
hfs -luiraoter, it is Imiiosslble to sus
pect him of any (Mirtlrlpution In this
fiiutf. t'ertaliily nobody coulil suffer
more t hun he does Ijy the death of Mr.
Davl.."
"You sho'tiM see M r." Davis' daugh
ter." I said, bitterly,
"Is she tnkliiK It haril?"
"I never saw such Brief. It Is henrt
lotiilliiff. She was war-rely in her right '
mind when 1 saw her las'."
"Mr. Normnn is here, I suppose?"
"No; he Is not he'V. We have been
hiiuIiIr lo find him."
"I had the same lurk." mild Johnson,
some slight token of Interest uppearlng
In t his mechanically expressionless
voice. "I called at his. rooms twice."
"What for '.'" I demanded.
"I hardly know what for, the first
time," he replied; "hut the second time
I wiis niter this,"
lie showed me a stiletto with a jew
eled huiidle. I kneV ft well, having
secH-ltiofien in Norman' rooms, where
there was a rubbishy lot of quaint
weapons with n few that were interest
ing and valuable.
"d-ohjison," said I, "If you let Stal
lii llgrilndui e you to drag Norman Into
this case, you'll make an awful nils
tuke.v! .-"Mr.- .Stalbrldge doesn't urge' It'," he
replied. " think he suspects Home
body rise. tut I ran t overlook Nor
mnn altogether. You see this railroad
business brings him Into the rase, and
If I don't hunt him tip the newspapers
will Jump on me. That's what we're
nil afraid of, you know-dlie newspa
pers. Now, if you think I am likely
to .get Jumped on worse for arresting
Norman than for letting him alone,
why I'll act accordingly. I haven't any
feeling In the mutter; and its for know
ing who killed Mr. Davis or having any
suspicion of it. my mind is as empty
a. u. box full of nothing."
"Hasn't anything been done expect
this foolish business about Norman?"
4 n-ked, impatiently.
-"Oh; yes; there's the- examination by
the coroner's physician. I haven't the
written report, but I ran give you the
Riifistanre of it. Your opinion re
garding the- stab wound was correct.
It pierced the heart, lieuth must have
been almost instnntaneous. Thut proves
my theory that the ratal blow was
struck while you stood outside the door.
Ah. rimmI evening, Mr. Htulbrldge."
r turned Just as the gaunt, higli
Phniildered figure stalked Into the
room. '
Stalbridge, usually po excessively
courteous, gave no greeting to either h'f j
us.' lie looked like a ninn with one
Idea yeligeuce.
"Have you done anything with the
iragnii tits or that document?" he de
manded of the .detective.
"Mrs. Johnson hits themrslr." he re
plied. "She Is far cleverer than any
man at that sort of work."'
"What Is this document?", I asked.
"I-wiuj Just going to tell you about It

when Mr. Stalbrldge came In." ald
Johnson. "You Know" my theory of the
clime. Mr. Davis was struck down,
and then the murderer removed a paper
from the desk. The blood stain. on
the remaining papers prove this con
clusively, to my mint. I confess that
I had little hope of ever finding that
document: but I now believe that wo
have it in hand."
"Where did you find it?"
"Wait a moment. Xot so fast. You
know how the murderer escaped. By
a desperate exercise of agility, aided
evidently by the natural advantage of
height, he rllmbed from a window of
your uncle's rear room Into an unoccu
pied suite which also had a rear win
dow on the court.
"Naturally, I suggested an examina
tion of those apartments to see whether
he had left any clew behind him. Mr.
Stalhridge joined me in the search. It
wan fruitless at first, except that we

found nl: the doors unlocked, showing
that the murderer could have hud un
impeded passage through Ihe rooms.
"After a cnreful examination. I was
or. the point of alia mi. in inn that field;
but Mr. Stalbrldge insisted that there
must be something to reward our en
deavors. .And so there was, for, on the
linal search, I found ten thousand tiny
bits of paper in a cupbourd under a set
bowl In one of the rooms.
"I might not have ivcogniiied the im
portance of ibis discovery but for Mr.
Slalliridge. Said he: 'The murderer did
Ibis. It was lo be expected. We
ought to have known for a certainey
that these scraps of paper 'were here.
He hail commuted murder to secure
that document. He dared not go out
upon Ihe street with, It in his pocket for
fear of arrest. If he hud been taken
with tills ilium him, what could have
saved hltn?"
"I was inclined to be skeptical, but
an examination of tin- bits of paper
showed me that they once formed part
of a legal document, licslries, It was
easy to see that they hud not been many
hours in iliat place. Moreover, care
hail been taken to tear the paper into
fragments of nearly eiiual slxe, so as
lo prevent any person from pulling
them together properly."
"It can be done," said Stalbrldge;
"and 1 will stHke my life that the docu
ment proves to be the contract which
delivered the Twenty-seventh street
road Into our baud. Moreover, Mr.
Davis." he continued, addressing nie
directly. "'! have to inform you that
your friend N'oiinan has disappeared."
"You lie, Slalbridge," said a deep. In
tense voice. "I am here to defend my
self." Norman strode Into the room. He
was almost a giant in stature, and the
strength of his olticlul outline mulched
the tremendous energy of his form.
His c heeks and even his forehead were
Hushed with anger. I knew that he
had heard of the suspicion that had
been directed toward him: the attempts
to llnd him and tho search of his apart
ments, and that he attributed the In
jury, rightly, to Stalbrldge.
Knowing Norman's high temper, I
was afraid that he might do an act of
violence which he would regret all his
life. I hastily placed myself between
them; and Just then Johnson said, In
his mose lifeless tone:
"Mr. Norman. I bail the pleasure of
calling u non you this ufternoon when
you were not at home, and 1 took sev
eral things out of your room."
The giant uttered a sound like the
growling of a tiger, and Instantly
turned upon the detective. I expected
to see Johnson annihilated, but he skill
fully retreated from the peril which he
had so recklessly invoked. II" backed
through a doorway Into the music room,
and Norman followed.
What happened In thnt room after
wards, I am unable to state, but there
was no violence. 1'ivbiibly Norman
found. It 'Impossible to be angry with
such an automaton as Johnson.
There was a sreat ileal in my mind,
In that moment when 1 found myself
alone with Stalbrldge. I saw In him
the most dangerous persecutor of my

friend, and for that alone I would have
opposed him In every iiossihle munner.
Hut I hated him, besides, und to light
ugalnst him was a pleasure.
"Slalliridge," said I, "you know Nor
man to be innocent."
"I know nothing of the kind." he re
torted angrily. "You don't know what
you are talking about."
"Wait n bit." I rejoined. "Let me
tell you what I mean. When we were
walking down Vesey street this morn
ing, you mentioned Norman's name, j
and at that moment you chanced to;
look up. You started. 1 turned toward
you, ami noticed a eruliar expression
in your face. I was then too deeply In
tent upon another matter, to under
stand your look, but n comprehension
of its meaning has been growing on me
ever since. Slalliridge. you saw Wul
ter Norman In that train which passed
us at that moment, and It was the
coincidence 'of seeing him just as his
name was on your lipa which startled
you."
Stalbrldge glanced toward the music
room. Johnson had closed the door.
A look of amusement overspread my
adversary's countenance. Such a kiok
may run around the circle of the tleuils
when the red light strikes Into a new
fore.
"This Is really humorous." he said In
a low tone. "You exiHi-t to prove an
alibi for Valter Norman by my testi
mony." "You do not deny what I assert."
"My dear fellow. Is It mi-essary? Can
you expect my i-imduct to be affected
by the cirr-n instance, of my seeing or
not seeing Air. Norman at the time you
mention? If you had seen him, that
would have been a dlfterent matter."
"Do you mean to tell me," 1 demand
ed, horror stricken, "thut you will let
him be condemned for this crime when
a word from you can save hitn'.'"
"I'm not so sure thai, he could be
saved in the way you suggest," he re
joined. "Suppose that he was on that
train; he might have gotten on' at Turk
I'luce and have reached the Ann Street
building ahead of us."
"You stultify yourself," 1 cried. "Ke.
member that there was a blow struck
before the fatal thrust with the dagger;
that the criminal locked the door, that
he washed his hands; that he stole a
paper from the desk. Could all this
have been done In the time that Nor
man would have had, by your supposi
tion 7 '
"Perhaps not," said Stalbrldge, grin
ning.
"I can see that we are wasting
words," said I. "Whatever may tie the
value of the evidence you could give
In his favor, you will not give It.
"Your Intellect Is unusually clear this
evening, he said. "Still there is a nos
sibllity that some one else In the train
may have recognized him."
"There Is a much greater possibility
the other way, 1 rejoined. "Hut I am
going to remove this matter out of
the region of possibilities."
"How. may 1 ask?."
"Hy coniH-lling you to tell the truth
a thing that 1 never hoped to see."
"Compel Is a very forcible word.
YVhnt is your backing for If.'"
"Let me meet that ipiestlon with an
other: Where were you when my un
cle was murdered?".
Stalbrldge smiled.
"I was enjoying the charm of your
society a pleasure thut Is too often de
nied me," he said. -
'-How' are you Ht'iinir to proVe It?"
rdeirtunded. ! ' " '

Then his brow darkened. He suddenly
drew himself up, and his lean hands
became like claws, lie was about to
utter a thrent. but somehow it seemed
to stick In his throat.

BUDS, Society
buds, youiiR wo
men just entering
the doors of socU
ety or woman
hood, require the
wisest care. To
be beautiful and
charming they
must have perfect
health, with all it
implicit a clear
skin, rosy cheeks,
bright eyes and
good spirits. At
this period the
young- woman is
especially sensi
tive, and many
nervous troubles,
which continue
through life, have
their origin at this
time. If there lie
pain, headache, backache, und nervous dis
turbances, or the general health not good,
the judicious use of mt-dicin-; should be
employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion is' the best tcstotative tonic and nerv
ine at this time. The best bodily condition
results from its use. It's a remedy spe
cially indicated for those delicate weak
nesses and derangements that afflict wo
niciikind at one period or another. You'll
find that the woman who has faithfully
used the "Prescription" is the picture of
health, she loots uell and she feels veil.
In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis
placements common to women, where there
are symptoms of backache, dizziness or
fainting, bearing down sensations, disor
dered stomach, moodiness, fatigue, etc.,
the trouble is surely dispelled and the
sufferer brought back to health aud good
spirits.
