"He had been called away la hur

Ills reply was Ingenious, and I liked
the Inspector the better for It The
man had something more In him than
civil tongue and a pleasing manner.
"Tell me what else did you learn?"
"That he was murdered In a place
with a sanded floor, probably at no
great distance from Leman street,
seeing that they carried him there on
a coster's barrow."
"I am not a reporter," I said. "I do
not want guess-work."
"I shall probably be able to prove
my words In twenty-four hours."
"And why not now?"
"There are good reasons."
Oh. very well." I said sulkily: and

the point of view of Bradford, my
uncle might be right; but what did
he know, I argued, of the higher Ideal
which I had chosen preferring the de
velopment of my artistic sense to the
mere accumulation of money that I
could not spend? Where was his Joy
of life he who spent his days in the
whirr of wheels and the fog of many
chimneys? How could it compare with
mine in the ancient peace of the
eighteenth century house that lay un
der the towers that crowned the an
cient abbev at Westminster? I look
ed around me at the delicate tapes
tries that I had brought from Florence
to my London rooms; at the glowing
FVagonards souvenirs of my year of
artistic study in Paris; at the Dres
den groups redolent of old Saxony.
Was I the fool or my uncle George?
There seemed to me no doubt about it.
It was Dlalnlr Vncle George.
Yet the letter had unsettled me. 1
opened the swing doors that led to my
tudio. switched on the light, and
stepped from easel to easel, examin
ing my half finished work with a grow
ing dissatisfaction. Were they indeed
merely the daubs of a wealthy ama
teur? I loitered back to my sitting-
room in a sulky depression, and had
picked up an art paper, when there
came a tapping at the door, and the
grizzled head of old Jacob Hendry
came peering in. A perfect servant
was old Hendry, once sergeant of in
fantry, and now a combination of cook,
valet, and housemaid, who kept my
rooms in spotless order, grilled
steak to a turn, was a fair hand with
a needle, and spent his spare time In
producing the most Inartistic wood
carving I have ever seen.
"Well, and what Is it?" I asked him;
for he seemed In some hesitation.
"I beg your pardon, XI r. Phillips.
Ir," he said, "but there a a young
man would like to see you. A most
respectable young man, sir, as lodges
above us on the third floor, but "
"Go on, Jacob, go on."
"The fact is. sir. he's from the
Yard."
"The Yard! What Yard?"
"Scotland Yard, sir, where the de
tectives come from."
And where I wish to Heaven they
would remain, thought I.
This Intrusion was simply Insuffer
able. I had a mind to refuse the man
admittance.
" 'Is boots Is quite clean," said Ja
cob, entirely mistaking my hesitation.
" 'E 'as wiped 'em on the mat. I saw
im."
; "Oh, show him in."
"The person, sir. of the name of In
spector Peace." said Hendry, swing
ing open the dooi
He was a tiny slip of a fellow, of
about five and thirty years of age.
A stubble of brown hair, a hard, clean
shaven mouth, and a confident chin
such was my impression. He took one
quick look at me, and then waited,
with his eyes on the carpet and his
head a trifle tilted over the right
boulder.
"I fear that I have taken a great
liberty, Mr. Phillips," he said. In a
very smooth and civil manner. "But
I bad an Idea that you would help
me. and time was of Importance."
"Well, and what Is It?"
"You have many friends anrbngst
the foreign artists here in I-ondon.
You attend their concerts and some
times even their little dances. We
are near neighbors, you see," he con
cluded, with a slight bow.
"I am flattered by the Interest ywi
have taken In my movements
"Two hours ago," he continued
cheerfully, "a body was found In
passage off Leman street, Stepney a
body which we cannot Identify. The
man was of good position, a sculptor,
and. I believe, a Pole. A cab Is wait
ing at the door. It Is late, I know
Mr. Phillips; It cannot fall to be
great personal Inconvenience; but will
you drive down with me and take
look at him?"
"Certainly not."
He saw that I considered bis pro
posal an Impertinence, for he hesl
tated a moment, regarding me with an
air of depression.
"It has stopped raining," he said
"and the cab has most comfortable
cushions. I noticed a fur coat In the
hall which can be slipped on in a mo
ment. May I fetch it for you?"
"You merely waste time, Mr,
Peace," I told blm, "I will have noth
ing to do with an affair In which I am
nowise concerned.1
"This sculptor may be an acquain
tance of your own," he said gravely
"and while we are arguing his mur
derers may escape."
"Murderers?"
"Yes, sir; murderers! The man has
been strangled and robbed."
The position was most embarrass
ing. He asked me to go Into part
of London that I bad always carefully
avoided. It was sufficient to know
that filth, Immorality, and crime exist
without personally Inspecting the
muckheap. Yet there he stood, his
bead on one side, staring at my toes
line an inquisitive terrier, and my ar
guments faded before his stolidity,

shaded lamps from the windows of all
their balconies; Into the silent city
where the tall offices of the duy lay
like deserted palaces under the moon;
over macadam, over clattering as
phalt, over greasy wood pavement; so
we journeyed till of a sudden we
dropped from wealth to destitution,
from solitude to babble, from the West
to the East. Costers bawling their
wares under spouting flares, fringed
the sidewalks along which Jostled the
chattering masses of the poor. The
section was largely foreign. The
patches of color In some Italian shawl,
the long coats and peaked headgear
of some moujlk. the clatter of the
dialects seemed all the stranger from
the sullen London background of
mean shops, dingy lodgings, and low
beer-houses. For. in the shadows of
that underworld of the great metro
polis, sodden faces, guttural oaths,
dingy rags, the blow that precedes
the word, are the manifestations of
the native born.
In a side street the cab drew to a
standstill. It was jthe mortuary, the
Inspector told me. A young police
man at the door touched his hat, and
led the way down a passage to a bare
stone chamber. On a slab in the cen
ter the body lay with an elderly man
In ill-fitting clothes bending over it
He looked up as we entered, and
nodded to the inspector.
"You were quite right. Peace," he
said cheerfully; "chloroform first
strangling afterwards."
"They took no risks. Dr. Chappie."
"They made a clean Job of it," said
the elderly man, looking down at the
slab with his thumbs In his waistcoat
pockets. "Never saw neater work
since well, since I was invalided
home from India."
"Thugs?"
"Yes; they did it nigh as well as a
Thug In regular practice."
The callous brutality of the conver
sation filled me with disgust. I turn
ed away, leaning against the wall with
a feeling of nausea.
"And now, if I may trouble you, Mr.
Phillips, will you look at this poor
fellow, and see If you can recognize
him?" said Peace.
I knew him well enough. The black
beard, the thin, hawk nose, the high
and noble forehead were not easily
forgotten. Talman had Introduced
me to him at the Art Club's Recep
tion In July, whispering that he was
a Pole and a neighbor of his a
deuced queer fish, though a clever
one. He had exhibited a bust of Nero
at the Academy, which attracted much
attention.
And his name?" asked the Inspec
tor.
"Amaroff. I believe him to be from
Poland; that Is about all I know of
him."
"How did you come to meet him?"
I told him of my introduction. Would
I. he asked, give him Talman's ad
dress? Most certainly No. 4 Harden
place, off the King's road. Chelsea. I
had no objection whatever to Talman
being roused at one -In the morning.
By ail means let the old rascal be
turned out of bed and cross-examined.
His language would be a revelation to
the police It would, really.
The Inspector left me on the door
step for a few minutes, while be whis
pered to two shabbily dressed men
who lounged out of the darkness, and
disappeared with the same lack of
ostentation. Then we entered our
cab, which had waited, and trotted
wescward, the very air growing clear
er, emed to me, when the un
derworld oi poverty fel', away behind
us. It was some time before I spoke,
and then it was to ask for a solution
to certain puzzles that had been form
ing in my brain.
"You said he had been robbed?" I
began.
"Yes, Mr. Phillips. They had gone
through his pockets with every atten
tion to detail "

hours that night, and was quite un-j
fitted for work in the morning. I
roamed about my studio with nerves
on edge. I cursed Peace and all his
doings. Even the papers gave me no
further information of this exasperat
ing business, being loaded with the
preparations for the Czar's reception
In Paris, which was due In two days.
In the end I sank so far as to send
old Jacob up to the Inspector's rooms
for the latest news; but he had been
out since daybreak.
About twelve I wandered off to the
club. The sight of Talman was a very
present Joy to me. He was engaged
in denouncing the police to a select
circle, choosing as his text that the
Englishman's bouse In his castle. I
offered my sincere sympathy when he
told me that he had been Invaded at
one In the morning by inquiring detec
tives. I suggested that he should
write to the Times about it. He said
he had already done so. Incidentally
he mentioned that Amaroff's address
had been No. 21 Harden place.
I lunched at the little table by the
window; but It was In the smoking
room afterwards that the Idea oc
curred to me. I fought against It for
some time, but the temptation In
creased upon consideration. Finally I
yielded, and told the waiter to call a
cab. I would myself have a look at
the dead man's studio.
I dismissed the hansom at the turn
ing off King's road, and walked down
Harden place on foot. It was an eddy
In the rush of London Improvement
a pool of silence In Its roaring traffic.
There were trees in the little gardens.
The golds and browns of the wither
ing leaves peeped and rustled over the
old brick walls. Several studios I no
ticed It was evidently an artists'
quarter before I stopped In front of
No. 21.
The studio a fair-sized barn of
modern brick fronted on the street.
The double doors through which a
sculptor's larger work may pass were
flanked by a little side door painted a
staring and most objectionable green.
On the right the roof of a red-tiled
shed crept up to long windows under
the eaves. The side door stood ajar
a most urgent Invitation to my curios
ity. After all, I argued, a studio re
mains a place where the strict rules
of etiquette may be avoided, even
though Its owner be dead. And so,
without troubling further in the mat
ter. I pushed the door gently open,
and walked into a short pass-age, the
rolling brim. Paradise plumes have
a similar happy faculty for adjusting
themselves to the characteristics of
a chapeau, while marabou bands pos
sess the witchlike quality of making
a releve-brim shape look well above

that these three types of garnishings
are used on tiny chapeau which, at

Grounds for Divorce.
A Cleveland lawyer tells this one:
"A woman came up to my office the
other day and wanted to know If she
could get a divorce because her hus
band didn't believe In the Bible. I
told her that unless she had some
thing else on him there would be no
use In bringing suit.
"'But he's an absolute infidel!' she
insisted.
"'That makes no difference,' said I.
"'Doesn't It, Indeed?' she cried, tri
umphantly. 'Well, you are a fine law
yer, I must say. Here's the laws of
Ohio, and they say that Infidelity, If
proved, la a ground for divorce!'"

but Relief for Mandy Was

A lazy darky who let his wife take

at that. He borrowed money from her
to play the combination, and before
he left home he stated his conviction
"Mandy," he said. "Ah's goln' up town

acaufred a lot or gfn. Then he was
messed up bit by dray, and some
other darkles hired a hack to take
him home. Sam was nearly out, ana
was breathing heavily when the hack
turned a familiar corner, and his wife
was standing In the door. With bis
last ounce of energy he stuck his
head out of the window and yelled:
"Mandy, aare dem tubs!"
She Expressed It
"I never saw such outrageous serv

at the express office window. "I've
