Jeatroyed the whole theory the stolen
stieaauien.
If he could trace them, he felt he
would be a step nearer discovering the
tinrderer and with them the motive.
That was the great difficulty in thia
tase, the apparent absence of motive.
He was glad to be alone while from a
few fragments he endeavored to make
tut what kind of man the mnrderer
was and to fix in his mind the style of
ndividnal he had to look for.
Did the mnrder ariae out of a sudden

the ontcoine of a iiinrnd ; that the two
men had been in conversation lefore
the fatal blow waa struck.
The old man prolnhly sat in his chair
on the right hum! side of the fire. Dur
rent took that chair himself, and the
viaitor where? He had the aaanrance
of the officer that nothing had been
moved. There waa no chair convenient
ly placed for a viaitor. It might have
been moved, or the atninj-er might have
stood during the interview. That being
so, he would have ittood opposite M.r
den, so Dartviit rose and took the place

" He smiled a quiet smile of self satis

not toil the impreaaioii left in the dnt
where an arm had rivently rested. It
was a high 'ahelf. too. and the impres
sion in the dust was thss. f an elbow
only. The man had idood with hia chin

Darrent was a well proportioned man
ar.d tried the position. It was not one
of comfort. For ease h would have
laid his whole arm fnll length upon
the shelf and rented hia shoulder against
It. The man who had stood there was
taller than he ami close npon if not over
six feet in height So far. he thonght.
ao giaal. The search was narrowing.
Snrely to trace a man of six feet in
that little town would not be difficult,
lie wondered how tall yonng Marailen
was; then, si tting to work again, drop
ped on hi knees and carefully examined
the flrepjace.
No paper r""1 n tmtned. Only the
dead ashes remained on the hearth and
something he had almost overlooked,
but now caught np with an excited ex
clamation and carried to the window
a ping of half burned tobacco that had
been cut out of a li"o, becaoaa it had
been rammed in too tightly, and iin
carded, dug out with the bl.idc i.f a
knife, it was obvious, for a dainty
shred of luwrachaaui aiUiered to llie
side.
Another step another clew! T'ue
mnrderer was out a tramp who hud be
guiled the old man to let him stay the
night Tramps were not so wasteful of
their totweco and did not smoke im--r-achauui.

pipe I Darrent felt he waa moving
A quarter of an hour afterward,
when I'oliceiiiau Thouion retnrut-d to
The Orange, be f on rid Herbert Darrent
sitting in the library writing at top
most speed in hia noteUaik, with a
fragment of thread, a ping of t.ilimio,
a scrap of ivory, a carved ivory chess
man and a few matches spread out on
a sheet of paper before him.
'Have you discovered anything, sir T"
be ventured to ask aa Darrent continued
to fill sheet after aheet as if unaware i f
bis presence.
Darrent quietly maided hia head und
closed the lok.
"Listen to me," he said, "and tell
me if yon know any one who atuwcra
to thia description : Appeuniuce, very
tall say a good six feet and broad in
proportion, bronze. 1 and bearded, stroiii;
as an ox; temper very passionate;
dress of homespun cloth; aott hat,
smokes a meeracbanm pipe; lately re
turneil from somewhere abroad, prob
ably South Africa."
Thompaon, with hia eyea wide oa n,
razed in astonishment at the di ti t tivo
and shifted uneasily from foot to foot.
He wears a heavy gold signet ring
on the little finger of the left hand and
has recently cnt the forefinger i f the
right. Do you know bimr"
"No, indeed, sir I You've made n
mistake. He wouldn't do it. He conld
not. "
"Ahl Then my description fits aom
one I "
"It is Actry Maraden to the life, air,
bnt he didn't commit the murder."
"That is to be proved. He waa at
this house on the night of the mnrder.
You met him on that night."
"J, sir!"
"Yes, you, Thompson. You've got to
do your dnty, whether it ia palatable
to you or not. Astray Marailen left the
town nearly two years ago, came hack
here the night of the murder and li ft
next morning. If you did not meet imv
that night, yon would not know ne an
swered to my description. A man does
not lisik the same and certainly doe
not dress the same after an absence
abroad of two years. Where did you
meet him ?"
"Near the Palace hotel. "
"What time?"
"A little after a o'clock in tho morn
ing." "Was it snowing?"
"No, air; it had stopped."
"What did he say ? Did he went ex
Cited?" "He did seem rather rattled. H said
that he'd come back to try und be
friends with old Muraden, but to one
conld be, and he was off again."
"Very well; then one thing ia cer
tain, and that ia that Astray Muraden
waa in this room on the night of the
lunrder. It will rest for him to clear
himself or for the law to bring the
charge home to him. Marailen himself
ojiened the disr, and the two men en
tered thia room. Marsden sat in his
chair there, the chessboard waa ou that
small table la'side him, and he. waa un
doubtedly working out a problem when
he waa interrupted. It needs only a
glance at the Uaikcuse to show hia hob
by. Old Mardaen sat there, the lmard
beside him. The yonng man stood here"
Darrent tiak np his position by the
fender again "hia elbow npon the
mantelpiece so. Yon can see where
the elbow rested. He must be a tall
man who stands so, Thompson. That
gave me an idea as to hia height ; this
thread of wool, the texture of his
clothes. He smoked aa ho talked
smoked a coarse cnt ship's tobacco, not
the sort that a man ;t hia breeding
would smoke nnleas he had been down
in the world, knocking ubont from one
country to another, and therefore
bronzed, and, aa a man does not take
particular care of hia apa'arance at
anch times and certainly doea not give
ten minutes every day to shaving,
bearded. Yon see, Thompson, tliimrs
are very clear when we look carefully."
"Yea, sir." the officer mechanically
replied, gazing at Darrent, bewildered.
"The young man Ktood here, and they
talked. Perhaps yonng Marailen wanted
money they generally do and the old
man refused, taunted him. Yon know
fl men can taunt, Thompson. Tin
words got higher and higher, the young
man's temper hotter and hott and
then he launched into a furious out
burst, emphasizing each point by bring
ing his fist down upon the oak mantel
shelf. Three times he did that. Thomp
son. Yon see three marks made by the
conensaion as hia ring atrnck tho wood.
The strength in that blow 'would kill 11
man, so lie carefnl if yon ever have t
deal with yonng Marailen. The old man
waa frightened and faint and over
turned the board with the pieces n.n
it as he started to his feet, and Astray
gave him some brandy in that litih
glaaa from the decanter on the side
board. As he handed it to him he placed
his hand npon the mantelshelf, thii
time the right hand. Yon see by tht
impression the forefinger was lnnnd np
Dnat is a very Valuable thing, Thomp
son; don't forger that. Then younu
Marailen collected the chessmen and
placed them in the box again."
"The old man might havedone'tli.rtr'r
Thompson exclaimed, anxious to test
the skill with which the puzzle waa Is

"The yonng man did it. Thompson.
One had rolled nnder the sideboard.
Old Marsden won Id never have slint np
the lax and put it away with one miss

old man becomes more amiable, and
they sit down again. He goes so far ur
to offer yonng Marsden a cigar. Ym
see one has been taken from this box. a
new box, which young Marsden opened
with his clasp knife yon know the
ngly kind of knife. Thompson. Tin
mnrder waa committed with the same
weapon. He open the box. takes out
cigar and lights it, then puts the knife
here by hia side and sits on the edge of
the table.
"Again tin y talk, again the old man
taunts, and again the yonng man lose
his temper and crashes his hand down
npon the table. His ringers touch that
awful knife, and in a second it ia over
For a moment he is paralysed with fear
and, rnshiug to the siih'boanl, ponra
out a glass of the brandy, for himself
this time, spill. ng it npon the wml-
work and the carpet, and then stands
and hesitates. He dare not leave by the
front dis in cae he is seen. Suddenly
he remembers the passage throni;n the
rx'kery o to the river. No doubt thp
water at the bottom of the tunnel would
be frosen. and he conld escape that
wsy. With one glance over his shonMer
he leaves the library, rushes across the
hall through the opite room and tin'

"Hut the paper?"
"Weil, what of that? 'I am dying,

and you jump to the conclusion it
Must be Astray. Now, suppose, Thomp
son. tli.it the mysteiy has a deeper root;
that it concerns Astray all, the same,
bnt not as a murderer. Snpposo old
Mar-d. ii intended, for example, to write
murdered by Astray 's brother' or uny
utln r relative, and died la-fore he conld
write the last word. What becomes of
your evidence then?"
And. having calmly und deliberately
dein'olished the structure that he had so
carefully and elalsirately constructed,
Darrent took a cigarette from his case
and, lighting it, strolled over to the
window.
'I tol.l yon," he auid between the
whiffs, "that the man stood with hia
ellsiw on the mantelshelf. Well, so he
did. That'sohvions. And then I showed
you tin- huts that lisiked compara
tively fresh, and I auid thut they had
been liiad.i 1 y the ring on the little
finger of the man's hand. Well, perhaps
they were, mid perhaps they were done
weeks 11 go by old Muraden himself.
Perhaps the. man's ellmw never rested
on the shelf, but old Muraden hud'pnt
something thero und afterward removed
it. 1 shouldn't like to swear to any of
it. I've put a lot of little things togeth
er, but they may be all wrong, every
one of them. What do yon think, eh?"
"I think they all fit too well."
"Tin y fit well enough, but they prove
nothing, absolutely nothing. To be a
successful detective one must be ready
not only to forge chains, .but to set to
work directly afterward and break
them, if they can be broken, test every
link und if there's a Buw fitid it. One
must ni t persnade himself, becanse a
few circumstances fit, thut thut, and
that only, must la) the truth. Why, I
have made ninny aa giaid a chuin of cir
cumstantial evidence before, and every
link has heey faulty, the whole thing
Worse than Worthless."

I am very mnch afraid that their
knowledge of M. Lecoq hus only been
derived from French sensational novels,
according to which he never erred, was
