However, go ahead." , -v - "Tou seem to be following me to a certain extent Having decided that ft was the work of an amateur, I was obliged to start out with those thoughts In my mind as I attempted te still further construct the circle. Tour key was In the possession of your uncle at the time of the crime, and I did not believe that you . had ever had another. Mrs. Tebbets and -eur uncle bad theirs; Miss Winton's was missing and you had assured m that Bruoe bad been in the posneHslon f rae wblrh be failed to si-count for; that he bad made - rash statement bout getting money; . had become evnjTy at your uncle; had been. In a generally unnatural and desperate frame of mind the day before, and therefore I Started in to lnvestigatt aim. This seemed to me the most logical way of going at It, for loom ing as big as he did among tbe sur roundings, I must either concentrate upon him as the probable thief, oi greasy simplify matters by getting rii of him altogether You had told r e of his entering a cab the evening - tfe.ure the crime, and so I wtnt to . a friend of mine who is an official. In the cab "drivers' union. They are prac tically all union men In this city, and . nt out a circular to every mem t r of his association calling upon the Mv r who bad conveyed the person ' .ci..-d to come forward and receive rfa:l. Within two days I was talk 2 X to the man who had driven Bruce, . 1 in that way found out where he t ;.t the night The cabman drove ' j to a resort ten miles from hls I ' uce and Bruce spent the night or t robbery there asleep."

Fear of Miss Winton's displeasure had made. him receive to remain silent rather than hurt her by the. confession that he had got drunk, as he Imagined be had, and gone to jrach a plaoe. could .not understand why the cabman bad taken It upon himself to convey him to this resort against Bruce' dt rections, so fcame back at the driver bard. By the dint of jnore questions, aided by V few Judicious threats, 1 drew, out the Information that the rhnnirn in address had been 4rlvan tiv - fc Certalh party whom the drive knew . . J to be a friend of bis passenger from the fact of having seen them together, and who had stopped him and given anew instructions as to where to con Vey the sleeping one Inside. That tx plained the driver's peculiar actions and things were becoming decldedl) Interesting. - Although practically sat , lsfled now that Bruce had had nothln pven Indirectly to do with the matter I nevertheless went a little further It my Investigations. I was very much Interested to And out where "be had secured the money which bad enablec blm to : resume hla operations ' oi 'change.; When I had convinced bin that I would keep the Information ab ' solutely secret be told me that It wa I furulshed htm by a woman client wht dld not care to have her name men , tloned in connection with speculative . matters.' I traced the story to Its foundation and learned that It was ab solutely true. That left only one mat ter to be explained so far as Bruce was concerned." . s ' ... -J . "1 suppose you mean his possessloi of the key and his denial that baMtd It, coupled with the possibility that some one else had somehow come lntt possession of It," 1 said, breaking tht moment's lull. LeDuo nodded. ' i "Exactly. I was almost certain from the time that Miss Winton announced tbe loes of her key that It had some- t tow gorT&tdrtEe. 'pOBseisIon "0f ' hei sweetheart; for its disappearance from her keeping convinced me that you bad not bean mistaken when you said : Bruce .had exhibited it or Its duplicate, f bad several talks with blm and her on the subject snd they still Insisted with a posltiveness that I could not ignore that their original statements were absolutely correct; namely, she denied that she had evei loaned him the key, and he asserted that he bad no knowledge of ever having it in his possession. I made them rehearse all their actions 'when together for some days previous to the robbery,' and finally a thought came to her.. She remembered that a short time previous while she and Bruce had been strolling together that she had slipped her poeketbook con taining tbe key, Into bis side coat pockqf. for. a few moments while' she was putting on her gloves. Ana mat tn turn suggested an idea to me.- Had the poeketbook been partially un clasped, the .key might easily enough have fallen from it Into his pocket and not having any. occasion to use It for the next few days she naturally enough bad not missed it So we got tba. coat he had worn on that occasion and went, through it We found a small rip in the bottom of the ouUlde pocket, and going further dis covered the key In the bottom lining. That solved the mystery, As for bis having pounded on the table with ft and. afterwards denied it, that was easily accounted for by the fact that in his worrlment I had unconsciously drawn it from bis pocket and used it is you described and then replaced it mechanically without noticing what te had held or remembering tbe in cident. I accepted this as tbe correct lolutton of the key incident, and then md there dUmlased. Bruce from all wonectlon with the matter. Fur had be eutered into collusion with any one else and loaned him the key for tbe bight the other person most cer tainly would have been a professional who owned his own tools and knew how to use them, and that Idea as you know, I had already abandoned. Do you get me 7" "I think so. And having eliminated flruce, whom I all along told you was Innocent you tuVned your attention to Richard Mackay as tbe next pos sibility." My companion smiled taint ly, thrusting bis hands Into his pock ets and leaning forward In bis chair. ,. - "Yes, for about ten minutes. At tbe end of that time I bad reasoned him Out of the case. Tbe . man who strangled your uncle was deacribed by blm as a large, strong man who coughed peculiarly. That description Btted Mackay to a dot and further more there was a possibility of hla having been Informed, through his mure or les familiar connection with Mrs. Dace's establishment, ' of the uiouey being In tbe aafe at this partic ular time.

CONDITION Mr. Editor: . - . . A few Sundays ago the writer aeeom panied by a friend, walked across the Trent River county bridge; and really we were appalled at the state of affairs that existed near the foot of the bridge in James City. Drunken men, and even drunken boys, . both white and blsck staggering around, cursing and blasp heming and wi houtsny restraint what ever making themselves a public nuis ance. We were informed by some of tbe best citizens of that little - village that such was Ihs stale of affairs nesrly every, Sabhath afternoon. Many of the men snd boys coming from New Bern for the express purpose of getting drunk, as whiskey was sold without fear of the law, ' and apparently with the full consent of tho.e whose duty it is to prevent it. They also informed us they would be glad it the Sheriff would send ( deputy over there to a sist them in keeping order and to break up the selling of whiskey; and they would give every support ia their power to any officer of ihe law who was sent to protect them from this ou'rage. Now Mr. Editor this stale of affairs is a menace to every good citizen, white or black Ij bound todeploreauch estate of affairs. Now if it is allowed to exU sooner or later, and very likely sooner, the wiH be such a tragedy Emanating from such' lawlessness as will make every one of us cry aloud and ask "what has become of the law and of thoss who have sworn to enforce it." Our fair name, ourlntcl'gtnce is at stake. Shall the Blind Tiger element rule, or will the good people get behind their sworn officers and make them en force the lawt "Clean City."
