I wai anzloua about Loulae. I had not Been her alnce the night before, though I had telephoned her early In the morning I greatly regretted having to leave her o much by herself in such distressful circumstances. I thought It wiser now to prepare her beforehand for the Inspector's com ing. I wanted him to see the Farrtsh home. I felt that If he met Louise and realised the luxury and comfort 1n which the family lived he would better appreciate the mystery and my determination to solve it I suggested luncheon at Martin's And Davis assented. As soon as we had obtained a table I excused my self and hastened to the telephone. Louise told me that the condition of both her father and Katharine waa practically unchanged. I briefly sum marised my morning's work and asked If I might bring the inspector after luncheon. "By all means,' said Louise, "bring him right over. I want to meet him and there may be some things I can tell him which will aid him." When I returned to the cafe on the Broadway side, where I had left the inspector, I found him abstractedly rolling little pellets of bread and plac ing them In various positions on the cloth. So absorbed was be in bis oc cupation that he hardly seemed to note uny return. His flying fingers would hastily mold three or four pellets in as many seconds. Placing them in a row, he would eye them intently. Occasionally he would swoop down on some unoffending pellet and sweep it to the floor. Two or three times I tried to interrupt him to learn what he wished to eat, but each time he waved me Impatiently away. Finally, not desiring to delay too long over luncheon, I gave the waiter the order without consulting him. Mechanically he ate what was put before him, all the while keeping up his game with bread balls. ' Knowing him as well as I did, after studying closely his eccentric move ments, I felt sure that the array of pellets was closely allied with the mental process by which he was seek ing to solve the Farrtsh mystery. The larger pellets, I decided, must be the various theories about the yellow let ter or letters and their origin. The smaller pellets were the different per sons connected with the case. One by one he pushed the larger pellets from the table until a single pellet remained. The smaller ones he kept Arranging and rearranging until at last he seemed satisfied. The single sur viving large pellet stood directly on a crease in the cloth. ' On one side equally distant from the crease, but close to each other, he had placed two of the smaller pellets. The rest were in three groups on the other side of" the line. For perhaps five minutes he carefully studied their position without shifting them, and then with a quick motion of his hand swept them all to the floor. r "There was some purpose distinctly criminal connected with the yellow letters," he said, as if for the first time aware of my presence, and be coming as loquacious as he had before been silent "When we have run this mystery to earth we will find that there are two of the criminals only two guilty."-- t "Guilty of whatt 1 asked In amaze ment, - "I haven't the slightest idea as yet," he replied with such apparent frank ness that I suspected he was not tell ing me all his thought "Evil ideas are of three kinds the solitary, the pair, the group Crimes are merely the physical expression Of evil ideas and bear the same classification. The solitary evil idea, manifests Itself in a variety of crimes. In this class be long: defalcations, poisonings, crimes against women and generally the as sassination of private ' individuals. These are the' hardest crimes to dis cover and punish. The evil idea Is not communicated. This sort of criminal seldom has confidants. Often, in fact almost always, he masks his villainy behind the cloak of respectability. Most of these offenses are due to ma nia, to blood-lust, to a desire for re venge for real or Imaginary wrongs. "Evil Ideas of the pair are generally attributable to money-lust In such crimes as burglary, highway robbery, blackmail, you will find two persons equally guilty, always the pair. Some tilnes it Is the man and the woman, sometimes the strong man and the 'weak mart, sometimes two women, though seldom, for women have little of the Inventive or creative faculty, , icven in crime.

The mem bers of this notorious organization, while they profit financially by their misdeeds, care little about that end of it. Their greatest pleasure is in the torture of their victims, in the agony they suffer from the time the nameless dread of the Black Hand first seises them until finally they are put to death tor refusing the society's exactions. It Is this evil spirit that kills kings, burns witches, destroys property and lynches negroes. The Farrtsh mystery, however, Is of the second class the crime of the pair. I am certain of it." "The important thing then for us to do," said I, trying to bring him from the abstract to the concrete, "Is to find Hugh Crandall and also to dis cover who was his closest associate man or woman." "Do you think so?" he asked enig matically, adding a second later, "Can't you take me to see Miss Far rish?" Hardly another word passed be tween us as the taxicab whirled us up Madison avenue to the general's home. I was thinking about Davis' strange theories of crime and his opinion that this was a crime of the pair. I felt sure that be, as well as I, must be convinced of Crandall's connection with the matter and surely his flight did not argue Innocence. But if this was a crime of the pair, who was the other guilty person? Whom did Davla suspect? He had said that It might be either two men or a man and a wom an. A woman? Could it be that he suspected Katharine Farrtsh of soar ing Crandall's guilt? No, no It was impossible, too ab surd. Yet certainly the yellow letter seemed a link between her and Elser. It was she who for a long time bad been Crandall's closest associate. That association apparently had been re cently renewed in secret Was it pos sible that back of the mystery there was some crime and that Katharine waa guilty? For a moment I was tempted to or der the chauffeur to stop. It seemed almost desecration to take this heart less analyzer of crime into the home where death stalked so close. Sup post Katharine was No, I bad pledged my word to Louise that I would solve the mystery and I would keep my promise, no matter where it led me. After all, the Important thing was my beloved one's peace of mind. As long as the shadow hung over her father and sister, her happiness must be marred. Better the knowledge of evil than the terror of mystery. Davis wasted little time in cere mony. As soon as I had Introduced him to Louise, he said abruptly: I'd like to see the room where It happened alone." As Louise called one of the serv ants to escort him upstairs I was re joicing at the opportunity to be alone with her. The cold formality of her greeting would have troubled me bad I not attributed it to the inspector's presence. As soon as he had left us. with the memories of the evening be fore glowing in my mind, I turned to embrace her. 'Don't, please don't!" she said cold ly. "Why, dearest!" I stammered In amazement She offered no explanation but said in the most matter-of-fact tones too matter-of-fact to be natural, I thought "Tell me, Mr. Kent; what you learned at the place where Mr. Elser lived." I . was dumfounded. What had come over her? What could have happened to make this sudden change In her attitude toward me? Could this cool, distant young woman be the same girl who only a few hours before had clung so desperately to me and had wept out her sorrows in my arms? Had she overnight forgotten the kiss with which we pledged our joint ef forts to solve the mystery f "Tell me, Mr. Kent," she persisted quietly, "is there a yellow letter In that case, too? Do you believe there can be any connection between Mr. Elser and and what Katharine did?" Greatly perturbed, yet trying to con vince myself that her attitude was only a girl's natural reaction as she recollected the events of the evening before,! was just beginning to rehearse what little we had learned In the boardtng-house when Davis came run ning down the stairs. "Tell me," he said abruptly to Lou lae. "what color are Mr. urandairs eyes?" "Blue," said Louise, "gray-blue." "Humph!" I could see she was as much puzzled at his question as I had been, but be offered no explanation and made no comment "Was CrandaU left-handed?" he snapped. "I don't think so " said Louisa after a minute's thought "I never noticed that he was." ,;. "Humph!" he repeated, his eyes wr ing about the room. "Take me in to see General Farrtsh." The young doctor whom Doctor Wil cox had left In charge happened to be passing through the halL and stopped as he heard the request "it can do no harm," he said, In re ply to Louise's look of inquiry.' The four of us the doctor, Davis, Louise and myself, in the order named, tiptoed into the general's room. I was prepared for a great change In him, but his appearance waa really terrify ing. Perceptibly thinner, aged as by many years, all shriveled and shrunk en, he lay chained to bis bed by his suction, unable to lift leg or arm. bis lips fallen nervelessly apart, bis tongue lolling uncontrollably dead. dead. dead, save his eyes. As Louise and I approached the bed side It appeared to me .that be recog nised us both and I could detect the same pleading look I had noted the night before. He seemed to me strug gling with his deadened senses to ask us something. While I did not know whether or not his hearing bad been Impaired I thought he might be worry ing about Katharine's condition, and carefully and slowly I began to enun ciate something about her, hoping that I had guessed what it was he wished to ask. But even as I spoke I aaw that his eyes had left my face. Into them returned the same acute terror he had exhibited at the sight of the yellow letter. If those eyes could have spoken, their shrieks would have filled the room. I followed the direction of their glance. -He was staring in ter ror at the one strange face in the room the Inspector's. Seeing how much bis presence dis turbed the Invalid, Davis turned quick ly and left the room. Louise and I followed, leaving only the doctor and nurse. "I wonder what made him look so?" breathed Louise. "He's afraid of something for some one?" I said, hurrying to over take Davla. hoping to learn from him bis opinion as to what caused the pa tient's fears. "I was right It's just as I thought," I heard him mutter as he hastened to the hall and reached for his hat and coat I saw that he was making prep aration for instant departure and I was In a quandary what to do. I felt It my duty to accompany my friend, for from bis manner I was convinced that he was on the track of the mys tery. Yet I did not wish to leave Lou ise until I had gained some explana tion of the barrier that she seemed to have raised between us. I was con scious of no way in which I could have offended her, yet there was a marked difference In her attitude tow ard me overnight While I was still debating the question and Davis bad all but reached the door, seemingly in different to whether or not I accom panied him, a nurse came running to Louise. "Miss Farrtsh," she said, "I think your sister is recovering conscious ness. I thought you would like to know it and to be at her side In case she speaks." Though Davis was some distance away bis acute ear must have caught her words. He turned and was up the stairs in a flash. Louise convulsively caught my hand. The barrier between us was swept away. I knew then it was only fear that she had been for ward in showing her affection. Hand In band we raced up the stairs after the Inspector, and ranged ourselves on the other side of the bed from blm. Between us, her long bair in braids, only the white bandage around her forehead to suggest her wound, lay the silent figure of Katharine Farrtsh. The pallor of her face seemed only to enhance her beauty, and though her eyes were closed, her long dark lashes still gave expression. As we watched, "Don't, Please Don'tl" 8he 8ald Coldly. she began stirring restlessly and her hands twitched nervously.

As Sam alighted from the elevated train at his home station his cheeks were still flushed with helpless anger and he was Just "spoiling" for a fight or almost any kind of a chance to even np matters on some one. His wish was destined to be granted sooner than be knew, for when be descended the elevated steps to the street a figure blocked his path, a re volver was held a few Inches below his nose, and a gruff voice command ed.

She made an ineffectual at tempt to rife in bed, but she was too weak. Sinking back on the pillow she shrieked: 'Promise me, Hugh, promise me, youH do It at once." After that one sentence she relapsed into unconsciousness. I feared for a moment that she was dead. The doc tor hastened to her side and began to feel her pulse and listen to her heart It seemed many minutes before he turned to us with a reassuring whis per: "It is nothing serious a relapse to be expected after that outburst. Her heart Is stronger than I expected. She will not likely regain consciousness for many hours, but there Is no imme diate danger." His manner, rather than bis words, invited us to go, so Louise and I fol lowed Davis from the room. The Inspector seemed to have for gotten his haste to depart. He sat down abruptly on a divan In the up per hall, with his face resting in his hands, and gave himself up to Intent thought. liiila and I stood a little apart, dis cussing in whispers Katharine's strange outcry. What couio. sue m meant? H "She meant Crandall, of course, said Louise. "She mentioned Hugh did you hear It?" I nodded assent "Probably she was repeating a con versation she had with him Just be fore she shot herself." 1 suggested. "What do you suppose she wanted him to promise her?" Louise shook her head. I racked my brain in vain for some theory to fit her words to her own desperate act to Crandall's flight, to her fa hp'. terror. I iudged from Davis' abstracted manner that he, too, was similarly engaged, wvorvthing ." I said to Louise, "v- ery single thing we have learned points to Crandau s connection wuu the mystery that has hung over your father and Katharine. When we hare found blm we shall learn what it was. I am more and more convinced that he is guilty of some crime, something terrible, something that your father and sister knew." The inspector laughed aloud. We turned toward him, I in Indigna tion, Louise in astonishment, to find him looking at us with an aauscd smile. "Don't be too sure." he said quKzl cally. "Crandall doesn't seem to have been left-handed." (TO BE CONTINUED.) A Utilitarian View.

SETS SHOE Footwear of United States , Standard for Universe. Backward Evolution In Foot Covering Puts the Wearer Behind the An dents in Walking Ability Has Many Defects. New York. Everybody wears shoes at least one else too small. It is as serted, and with toes too narrow. This gives room for only the great toe to grow and perform Its functions, but compresses the other toes until the smallest one Is a mere scrap. The foot of man should spread like an ani mal's paw with every step he takea This Is impossible in a shoe which fits" the foot Walter C. Taylor, editor-in-chief of the Boot and Shoe Recorder, .says: The greatest waste in shoe buying is None for which the consumer him self Is largely responsible. It comes through the .buying of shoes which are poorly fitted." We not only wear our shoes too small and our heels too high, but we allow fashion to Influence us, and there Is a constant demand for change in style and material; a de mand which the manufacturers supply abundantly." Mr. Taylor says that it would be worth millions to the trade and to the consumer If this could be righted by a common sense view of our foot covering. Of 'course - the women are blamed for the greater part of this extravagance, for a dainty toot has long been considered much to be desired. Gradually shoes have developed Into things of beauty mere ly and we buy them with the thought of their appearance and not of their use. In fact, Americans, as a rule, do not expect to walk great distances. It seems that the development of the shoemaker's art Is In Inverse ratio to the development of the foot, for here In America our feet are notori ously undeveloped, and yet America leads the world In the making of shoes. Almost everything else In the way of wearing apparel depends more or less on foreign importations, but America influences the shoe styles of England, Germany and France, and American methods are standard for the world. American supremacy in shoemaklng is due largely to specialization. Abroad an operative does half a dozen different things; here he per forms one simple process, and here also one factory makes one kind of shoes. It a large manufacturer makes different kinds of shoes he has a separate factory for each kind. What a sight the modern shoe fac tory would be to the primitive shoe maker of colonial days, who was an itinerant workman, carried his tools with him and stayed with each family long enough to make up the farmer's supply of home tanned leather into shoes enough to last until bis next annual visit His last was ronghly whittled out of a piece of wood to suit the largest foot In the family, and then pared down for' the succes sive sites.

Six to Two Against Woman Who Shot Her Rival Various Opinions' en Crimes of Passion and . Literature. Paris. Some French woman au thors have been giving their viewa on the right of their sex to kill. Their opinions are based on the case of Mme. Bloch, who wrote Dooss signea with the name of Frederio de Beau Hen and who shot and killed Mrs. Bridgeman. who had won M. Bloch's affections. From' the prison Mme. Bloch announced that she had re ceived "Innumerable letters of con gratulation" and that many of them came from her sister authors. The suggesUon that woman writers sym pathized with Mme. Bloch's act moved Le Mlrolr to make an Inquiry. Of the eight women of letters who gave their opinion only two .supported Mme. Bloch's action. The first of, this mi nority. Mme. Marie de Vovet. writes: "Although murder Inspired by Jeal ousy Is reproved by all In principle, nothing Is more difficult to Judge In the various forms It may take. The best thing, it seenm to me, is to treat it with charity, thinking that before a woman's band could seise a. weapon there must have been, suffering enough to constitute presumptive expiation." Mme. Aurel, the other supporter of Mme. Bloch, writes: ; "If a rival bad dared to set me at defiance I believe that I Should have s done as Mme. Bloch did. It is none the less a mis fortune." ; v.; . . As for the six woman writers who condemn Mme. Bloch's crime, more than one finds that a desire for self advertisement, a feeling that the ac tion would boom her books, had some Influence on her mind, Mme. Daniel Lesuer, the best known writer of the eight quoted, says: " "I hold that be who kills ought to accent death: otherwise he Is the most cowardly of beings. On this con dition only can vengeance to death be clothed with any grandeur." ' Mme. Jeanne Landre would have a law naaaed that exceot in eases of self defense; no acquittal should be allowed when a death has been caused.
