The man who was killed bere Is a Strang er. Me wore a dligulse that made blrn look like Mr. Dufresne. Do you uudersland meT" "Yes. yes." she breathed, "there has been a mistake.

Tba detective stripped away the beard and moustache. When Mrs. Dufresne saw tbe na Iwral features of the man. the made strange, wordiest sounds. Without warning, her knees buckled, she reached forth vaguely to support herielf, then collspsed. As the fell htr face struck tbt thsrp corner ot the center table, opening a long gatb across ber cbsek. Harper leaped to ber tide with t cry of dismay ss be saw the blood pouring trom the wound. Calling for Dr. Miller, be gathered the un conscious Ogure Inio his arms and strode from that Ill-fated room. Dr. Miller gave a little grunt as he ttrtlgbtened up beside tbe bed where Mrs. Dufresne lay stretched out "How It she, Doer Harper lo quired, anxiously. "Well, I've stopped most ot the bleeding, but tbeie old hands ol Bine are too clumsy to aliend to that cut properly." "Will It leave a aearr" "Tbst's what we muil avoid. Some of these new chaps do wonderful work slong that line. It'd be best to bare one In. I think." "We'd better gel hold ot ber own doctor first and let him handle this 1 bate to think ot her being scarred or disfigured." IR. MILLER bent down and asked his question. He scribbled the doctor's name snd Initials on bis prescription pad and banded tbe leal to the detective. "Get bla 'phone number and tell him to come ss soon as possible. The sooner, the hetier." When Harper left Mrs. Datresne's room to go downslstrs again, be found Howard Doyle waiting at tbe foot of the stairs. "How Is she, Ser gesntT" he Inquired at once, visibly perturbed. Harper replied angrily. "It Mrs Dufresne't tsce Is marred for life you ought to pick out a b!gh bridge and throw yourself over." "Why didn't you say something then, before you left! Tbla Is Du fresne's bouta snd tbt desd man certainly looked like Dufresne. You held us all back, locked tbs door, snd went away without saying any thing." Harper's face flsmed wllb anger "Listen to this. Doyle. I wtrned you not to release .bt story until 1 gsre tht word. Hold on, now I've no time to argue. I'll talk lo yon later." Tbe detective looked up Dr. 0. C. o during the evening Included vo cal numbers by mm Mary 'Eliza Angell who was accompanied by her sister.

It the doctor bad any curiosity about tbe cause ot tbs wound he gave no sign of It. Ha promised to be over In leas than half an hour. With that detail out of the way. Sergeant Harper turned bit atten tion lo tbt major matter lo hand. He called together Officer Clymer. De tectlva Lsflerty. and the two plain clothesmen trom Headquartera. "So tar wa bare found no due to tbe Identity of the man who baa been killed bere," be began. "For tome unknown reason be chose to Impersonate tbe master of this bouse. It this ssme man wrote tba threatening letter and abot at Mr. Dufresne. the cbancet are that we are dealing with a lunatic. There will be traces and I want you to look for tbem. We haven't found tbla man's hat and overcoat, for Instance. Look for tlgnt of forcible entry, too. but don't go outside. 1 want tbe snow left undisturbed. Tbs men scattered to their tasks.

"Dr. Miller bat emptied the pockets," he explained. "Over there you can see all that was found." On a corner of tba buffet waa a folded, unused man't handker chief of good quality. On II waa aeventy-nine centa In change. "What bat taken place here. Ser geant, Is plainly written." Ha point ed to tba body In the armchair. That man Is seatsd there. He has boen drinking. He Is smoking a ciga rette. Tbe policeman enters. Two guna are lifted simultaneously and Bred. Both men are dead they have tilled each other. That Is the ttory. The reason why all thlt happened? That Is your job. Sergeant, and you are welcome to II!" Harper nodded. "Tba reconstruc tion of tbe tcene la quite obvious. But suppose, Carlln. I told you that I don't believe everything I bear and not always what 1 tee?" "AH. then, that matea a differ ' ence. We1 can talk more about tbla simple story " Carlln s flair for tbe dramatic waa bclog "fed" by tbe detective with admirable results. "Tbere are certain parte of thli story 1 find bard to awallow. Tbe most ex cellent marksmanship displayed, for Instance It ts almost too perfect. "One shot right through tbe bralb. It Is trus that tne man In the chair needs two shots but one goes straight to the heart, the other not two Inches away. A man doea not fire after be baa been abot through the brain, nor after a bullet has gone through bla heart." "Yet each man died where be waa found." Harper mused. "There are the -talns on the rug lo prove IL" "Consider this." Carlln went on excitedly, now at full tilt with bla subject, "consldii tbe absolute non chalance of these men.

"But what disturbs me most Is this," he went on. pointing to the circular bullet mark In the Strang er's forehead. "The bullet went In through the left frontal, passed completely through the skull snd made lis exit around in tbe base ot the brain.
