So the answer as outlined by the

Croak drew out the top letter. It
was typewritten and read as follows:

night of June 27, 1905, will be de

"That number In Kront street is a

"I am from Dr. Mfers," said Cronk
simply. "Before he went away In tbe

Instructions that I must protect the

of. young woman hurrying by with

what scant furniture there was had a
forlornly business air. There was a
broken door cupboard with its top
shelf stacked with papers. On the
deal table were a crumpled blotter and
a dried Ink stand.
Even under the settle which had
been used as a couch were a few books
and the tin case for a typewriter. The
machine itself evidently stood in a
corner, covered with a rubber cloth.
Where else then would a careless and
dissolute man bo apt to hide the source
of his nefarious income than lu this
remote and secluded hole In the wall?
Cronk turned pityingly to the young
woman.
"You have been brave and true," he
said, "when most women would have
paltered and accepted. I believe what
you eay; I take you at your w.ord.
"I will take that ovil thing, It I can
find it here; take it and destroy it. No
harm shall come to your husband: on

a letter in its envelope, which had
been hid under the cheap ornamenta
tion of the top, fell out on the floor.
Taking the letter from the cut enve
lope, which was addressed to "Mr.
George Lesslng kindness of Dr.
Meers," Cronk read Its typewritten
text as follows: .
Dear George: I am strapped,
busted and utterly confounded,
with nothing to live for and every
thing to die for. Unless I receive,
the sum of $2,500 tonight I shall
shuffle off this mortal coll. I send
you this by the sure hand of that
soft ass Meers, who knows my
extremity. Send back the money
by him or my blood, the blood of
your old chum, be on your head.
It's little enough to ask, when
were 1 in your place I would vol

wonder he has paid the nameless vil
lain who has held It over him rather
than run the risk of having it brought
to tho attention of the wife he lo.ves
so tenderly.
"Perhaps If Lesslng had lived he
might have advised with him and been
guided by him, poor, unworldly fel

Mix also dead, as he threatened, as
Meers believes?
"No; here Is the most amazing part
of this amazing scheme. Mix 13 alive;
Mix got possession of this letter, and
Mix levied blackmail upon it as the

Then, sir, it is lucky he is not n

"Lucky? For Mix not to learn in

that they have planned to deceive him,
to escape from his extortions by sail

"There is a compact look to them

"Ah, sir, that Is the very point; I
knew I could rely on tho absolute
fairness of your judgment.
"Good typewriting requires that
there should be a space after every

handed It to the detective.

detective in his contemplative n;,
"making arrangements for his care,

no space after punctuation. I 'm
afraid I am right, sir."
The Judge opened the other sheet,
and his enforced calm quivered into
gray. It was a letter from the ship

"We regret to inform you of our
