Pausing not at all, he vent thump ing down the utairs, while I sat star . ug'at the detective, who in turn sat railing utieerly back- at me. y-r: - chapter x. ' - The exprvasTon on my' companion's face remained unchanged as tho sound of my cousin'a footsteps was cut oft by the bang of the closing door. The . mil seemed to have grown Into UU features, to unaltered did it remain, nd tiring of its monotony I arose and without apology passed Into tho . text apartment Clare was sitting be tid the bed of Uncle Abner, stroking uue oi his gorilla-like nana? as na rolled his head from side to side with weak whisperings. Most of the lines which now harrowed his face were unfamiliar to ma.. Heretofore he bad always appeared as a fairly well-pre-served man of nearly forescore, "but now his face was as wrinkled as one's palm. Ha shot a sldewlse glance full of apprehension as I entered, but see ing it waa only I resumed his mutter- Ings. Clare's face waa unwontedly erlous. Her Hps were tight fitting and thinned by compression;' the laugh 1 id entirely deserted her eyes, and altogether she was the picture of One who suffers uncomplainingly. Of course ft took no wizardry to guess the cause of ber tmhapplncss. Bruce, . to whom she was engaged, and to . whom she therefore must "be devoted, . tad broken his faith with her without sxplanation or apology; and if that 'had hot been enough In itself, his ap ' pearanca had been sufficient to shock any one who had pride In b'm. I knew Clare as I knew the alphabet There never was a woman more genvrous, nor one who once having decided to give gave more freely. Therefore I knew that having bestowed ber heart upon Bruce she bad done so without stlut or reservation. Her nature lay cloe to the surface, and what might have been a superficial wound to an other would hurt her to the core of her being. Sympathizing deeply with her I approached her from behind and took her cheeks tn my palms. "It Is bound to come out all right, Clare," I half wblBpered. Elie freed her face by a slight for wrd movement and Uncle Abner, t' 'i g bis eyes wearily, lay for the j i t Inert on the pillow. Thoy t 1 to be Ignoring me In their i !', snd unable to think of any t i u do or say whirh mlKiit r 1. n t:.u situathm, I turned away and 1 . ,. t:,"-a to tIituH'lvf'8. LcDuc had I ' i i - -i l's t-;: t i.i my t.!..,tc. and hat In-hand, appeared to be wait- ing for me to go with him. The whole atmosphere of the place was offensive to me, nl. as I led him down the B-.lr8 and out Into the open I filled my lungs to the uttermoet,, as a con vict might who breathes the pure air of freedom after long confinement In a fetid cell- It "was qtiltti a while be. fore" either of us saw fit to speak. At the end of the block he threw biacJgar Into the street r "The P-lce you did not tell them about- seeing your cousin have the key yesterday?" be, said .half interrogatively, halt as sertively.. I told him I had not; His next Question was, J'Why?" ... "Because. of several reasons. First of an, they did not ask me; second, because I have no idea that Bruce is guilty in this matter,- and third, be cause I did not care, under the cir cumstances, to put . his reputation in their hands. Also, I assumed that he would immediately acknowledge his possession of It and give an adequate explanation. You wfll readily under stand that I did not want the newspa pers to come out with a sensational story, and I. therefore, reserved that hit of Information forvmy own Investi gation. 'You may be sure, "however, that I had Intended to mention it to him privately when we met again, and Only volunteered the Information to you because I knew you. would work up to It eventually and corkscrew it out of me. Furthermore, I know I can rely "upon you to suppress ' details, whicb although as yet unexplained, In all probability have no real bearing on the Issues." His reply came with out hesitation, , "Tom, you have known mo for years and you know that even as a boy I always played fair. Now, Ihave no more use for a professional crim inal than I have for a mad dog or a venomous serpent. They "have shot me, stabbed me and laid hi ambush to assassinate me, and when I think of them I am Imbued with a great and righteous wrath. J But when I come across a young fellow -of good Instincts who has fallen because of. a reckless step, I would a whole lot rather give -him a boost than a kick. ., I want you l to zet rn rtjrht on thai statement-? I I signified my comprehension. , As he himself - said, LeDuc had always been a fair, even a generous, fighter, and his last assertion was wholly in accord with my understanding of the man Glancing, about to make sure that we were safely beyond earshot of any. possible "" listener I broached a matter about which I had been think ing for aoae little time. ' ' -"Billy, there is another thing which tile police did not bring out and which I did not volunteer, but which you ought to know. . My excuses for not having stated It before are practically the same aa those I gave In Bruce's case, namely, because I do not be lieve It has anything to do with the crime and because I . wish to shield a certain Individual from annoyance and publicity. Under the same un derstanding that you are to consider it aa a privileged communication 1 will tell It to you. It la this: There Is one mo' person, at least who knew thai Uncle Abner occasionally had considerable sums of money on hand, and to whom I Imparted In a casual conversation the circum stance of this particular amount being In the horee. I had a little visit with her yesterday-n my way downtown after my quarrel with my uncle. In it. I told her of Bruce's misfortune. Aleo, I once left my keys at bet house through an oversighf 'and they remained there several days. - And while I should bitterly resent even te intimation that she was a con scious party fa the crime, it Is never the less a crevice through which the Information may hare leaked. I sup lne you would liko to hear me oul on this line." He slipped bis arm through, mine, drawing me closer to him. - "By all means. It way prove decid edly interesting. ' My promise goes to tMs angle of the case as well as all others, . Shoot ahead." "Then I do not mind telling you that I am In the habit of. calling upon a lady who ls -well, we will call her an exceedingly good friend of mine. care a great deal for her, respect ber thoroughly and believe she Is fond of me. I have Incidentally told her about Uncle Abner and bis strange ways, and one everting left icy keys In her apartments after having opened a bottle of wine with a corkscrew which I kept attached to my koy ring. It was several days later that I called her attention to my oversight and re ceived them back from her.

The much adver tised meeting of suffragettes in Parlia ment rquare to protest against the re- -fusal of Premier Aequith to receive a depul a' ion, proved a fiasco,: so far as concerned any sensational display of militant prowess snd cunning, which was predicted by the organizers.
