(Continued from Wednesday’s Star.) SYNOPSIS. The junior member of a private firm of detectives in New York becomes interested in a deserted house, opposite which he happens to take a room. While watching it during a convalescence from illness, the blinds of one of the windows are opened suddenly, disclosing the figure of a small man, who waves his hand and disappears. Three days later the detective receives mysterious letter, appointing an hour to call. He looks across at the deserted house, shading his eyes with the letter. The figure reappears and repeats its sij nal. That evening the detective arms him- self, pushes open the irun gate of the de- serted house and enters a dark passage- way. He is ushered into a lighted room by the same strange figure. Two men and a handsome woman in evening dress receive him, all masked. He has been mis- taken for an expected messenger. He pre- tends that it has not been safe to bring certain papers, and is commissioned to visit the town of P—— next day. As he is about to leave a young girl arrives with a warning. The masked lady fires at the de- tective. He runs down stairs and escapes by the rear door into a yard. Climbing the fence, he overhears the conspirators, who mention Tuxedo and the name of a promi- nent man He thinks that he recognizes the voice of the lady, and concludes .that some great crime is under way. The hyuse. is shadowed by other detectives, and he de- cides to watch the train to P—— himself, in disguise. The young girl enters the sta- tion, also the lady, disguised asa man. The detective eludes the latter and takes the train. He finds that the girl is’ the in- nocent instrument of a band of conspira- tors who have entrapped her father into their plottings. The mysterious lady is supposed to be the sister of a member of the Russian legation, who has stolen im- pertant papers at Washington. These are intrusted to the girl’s father, who gives them to a messenger, for whom the detec- tive has ,been ‘mistaken. Meanwhile, the real messenger is being watched by Wash- ing.on detectives, and she had been sent with a warning. The detective returns to New York and reads in the newspaper of the messenger’s capture, with the stolen papers He also s¢es the announcement of @ great ball at Tuxedo, to be given by the man whose name he had overheard. He decides that the ball has some connection with the conspiracy. ” PART V. It was 10 o’clock when once more I ertered the office of my chief. I found him awaiting me there. Ray had just come from my rooms. with news of importance from the House with Green Blinds. A short ime before the feople in the street and the houses near had been startled by the noise of a heavy explosion. It had come, as well as they could make out, from the house he had been watching. The police had been summoned, and an effort made to gain admission to the place. No reply had been obtained -to the ringing of the bell, and they were now preparing to force an entrance. The chief had waited merely to give me the isfformation;-and-we at once set out together.. There was the ineyitable crowd of peo before the house, through which we forced oir way. ‘The door had been broxen open, and a policeman guarded the entrance on either side. As we went in @ noisome odor of chemicals filled the air. We made our way to the drawing room, where I had been the night before. Here upon tke table I discovered one of my revolvers, and underneath it a piece of Paper, on which was scrawled the word “Beware.” From here Ray, who had preceded us, led the way upstairs again to a small sky- light room in the rear of the house. We discovered there shelves‘filled with bottles, retorts, pestles and mortars, and books piled anywhere abcut. On the floor, his head torn and burned beyond recognition, lay Jackson. I knew him by his yellow hands and peculiar dress, and saw that his own deviltry had been his undoing. We went carefully over tke room. It contained all descriptions of ‘Materials for compounding explosives. isfersal ma- chines, wheels and springs scattered every- wher aaae = Laie erst or were of value ray. lear what re- mained of the Fc Lat hee upon the floor a dark stale witch at first sight I had thought to be blogd. A closer exami- naticn, however, revealed the fact that it was either claret.or some other deep red wine. In one of the yellow hands was gripped a small vialj-about which a scrap of piper was wrapped. Written in English upon-tt were the following words: “In two gills of claret, one; in champagne, two, For action in the first“case; five minutes. In the second, seven.” The vial contained three or four small white pellets. We determined to try an experiment. A man was sent for a bottle of Piper-Heidseck. Of this he poured a small quantity into an empty bottle, and, drorping in one of the white pellets, placed the whole upon the window leds Clos- ing the sash I stood watch in hand, and waited. Whether simply poison, or some stronger and stranger thing, I did not stop to wonder, but, as the number of minutes recommended in the note crawled slowly by, an uneasy sensation came over me which made me draw back and motion the others to do the same. The next mo- His Own Deviltry Had Been His Un- doing. ment the stillness was broken by a dull report and the falling of shattered glass. We started forward. The glass lay broken in small bits. A portion of tne stone cop- ing had been torn away, the bottle was no- where visible. I knew little of chemistry. Whether the man Jackson had made a great discovery in producing a material upon which the action of certain kinds of liquids was nec- essary to bring about a concussion, by ab- ecrbing with the various degrees of strength contained in the fluid the hard outer coating of his preparation and bringing the delicate interior into contact with some foreign substance; or whether such methods are generally known and practiced by the pro- fession, I canrot tell. I only thought, at the time, that the last link in the chain of pro- ceedings was now without doubt in my hand. At 9 o’clock that night Ray, another man ard myself were stationed in the hall of Mr. ——'s great house at Tuxedo. We had been substituted for three detectives who were to have Leen sent down in the usual Dr. Lyon’s PERFECT Tooth Powder AN ELECANT TOILET LUXURY. Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century. Jaz-tns2t 11 ray. I had placed Ray at the entrance to the ball room, myself near the vestibule of the house, the other man hovered anywhere about. We had not long to wait. The guests of the evening were early to arrive— the great man short-breathed, ponderous, but genial; his young wife handsome and gracious.. Behind them came a small sprink- Ung of more or less famous politicians, mem- bers of the foreign legation and handsome young attaches in the full uniforms of their countries. Among these last were two men who at once ettracted my attention; the first, by a slight peculiarity in his figure, his quick nervous movements, the glances full of suspicion and of watchfulness which he constantly threw about—all these signs identified him strorgly with the man who had kept silence the night before at the House with the Green Blinds. The other was as easily discovered;the tall,well set-up ire, ornamented by a showy uniform which he now wore, the firm lips curving into a smile that was almost insolent; the large, well-shaped head, the delicate aroma of Turkish cigarettes which floated with him— nore, he lighted one as he reached the smoking room, into which I could see from my station, and sent ring after ring of smoke curling upward. Once before I had seen nim do it, but never another man so prettily. I sent Ray to watch the two closely, and returned to my po: Again I had not long to wait. I had turned to reply to some trivial question which had been addressed to me, when the voice for which I had been waiting floated clearly toward me—a low, delicicus laugh. I looked eagerly about. In the smckirg rcom, talking gaily to a small group of its occupants, was the hero of the English trial—the escaped convict of Portsmouth prison—the boy who had fol- lowed Miss Cutting. But I saw no one any- where about to resemble Madam of the without any ald of ours. It is a pretty bad business, though, aryway.” » I asked him what, and he looked at me curiously. 4 “What is the matter with you? You've been queer ever sinte last night,” he re- turned, peevishly, ‘pointed to a huge headline in his pepar. I looked, and read these words: ? = “The Assassination 6f President Sadi-Car- not. For a moment my head reeled and the words Stes cot Sumaeaninesy, before my eyes, and then a mi eemed to unfold itself from my brain, and-rémembrance of the af- fair I had just beerthrough with came back to me. I unbuttoned my coat, and saw that I was still in evenicg Areas. I had no little difficulty in persuading Ray t» tell me what had occurred, and in con- vincing him that I had no recollection of it. Finally, however, Me, told me this: As he had been ted, he waited for his cue from me before“arresting the two men who were in his charge, and he had seen what took place tetween the illustrious guest, Madam of the White Shoulders and myself. When she accepted my arm, she had turned for an instant to nod and smile at the Russian attache, who was also watch- ing closely. Upon Ray's quiet demand for a surrender, wiftch had immediately followed, this man had followed him to the carriage without a word. The other came as quietly. They had then waited there some five min- utes when I appeared, with madam leaning upon my arm. She had expressed great sur- prise at finding the two men there and under arrest, and had demanded an explanation from me. I had offered her the most abject ‘apologies, and had ordered Ray to at once release his prisoners. I had assured him that the affair, from beginning to end, was a gigantic mistake, that the track we had followed was entirely a wrong one, that we had offered untold insult to three inno- cent people. He had no course but to credit my word. I had then proceeded to assist madam with great care to her carriage, and she had driven rapidly away, the men fol- lowing in another coupe. We hastened after- ward, Ray, the man who had come down with us and myself, to the station, where I had purchased_with no further explanations to my companions, three tickets to Boston, which place we were now nearing. The third man had made himself comfortable in the smoking car, as there was no sleeper at- tached to the train, while Ray had sat all night beside me. During this time I had sat with wide-open eyes, staring straight be- fore me, apparently lost in thought, and un- til now he had not ventured to disturb me. And so the beginning of my first case came to its end. Letters a fortnight later from my friend, the London detective, told me that attempts upen the lives of men in certain other European cities had n made at the same time, but, with the exception of that in which the French president fell, all had been discovered and met in time. I resigned my position at the office, and have since been devoting most of my time to trying, upon my own responsibility, to get trace of Madam of the White Shoulders. In this quest, so far unsuccessful, for the last two weexs I have enjoyed the assistance, given with sympathetic zeal, of the girl who saved my life from her, and who no longer bears the name of “Cutting. Should I succeed in finding madam, I hope to force her to solve two probiems; the first, whether she and the young man who wore a false beard and spoke with her voice were identical—the one with the other. And if so, whether she had exercised the same in- fluence which had so swayed my mind to her will upon the jailer of the Portsmouth prison, and by so doing had effected the es- cape of herself and her companions, upon @ previous occasion. (The end.) I Threw Myself Forward, Falling Heavily Against Him. White Shoulders. From where I stood I watched this man until he turned to go, and then drew nearer. As he passed Ray’s tall Russian, I heard him say, lightly: “Tout va bien,” and then he lost himself in the crowd. I saw him go in and out among the throng, looking unostentatiously but carefully about him, and managed for a time to keep in his wake. Then I lost him entirely. For an hour I searched hither and thither, cursing my own stu- pidity, but without avail. I was growing desperate fearing that, after all, I should be too late, when again that voice came to my straining ears. It was in the supper room, where the jingling glasses were play- ing a graceful accompaniment. I stumbled hastily forward. This time I was not dis- appointed. I could not but recognize her, though I had never seen her face uncov- ered before. Perfect in outline as a statue by St. Gaudens, faulttess’in coloring, and ighted by those glorious eyes which had flashed upon me tkrough the mask—eyes I had seen matched but once, ard then by those of the boy I had just so clumsily lost sight of. Her superb, squarely molded shoulders gleamed richly in the well-ar- ranged lights. For the merest instant her eyes rested upon mine and their pupils widened. I feared that she had’ penetrated my disguise. Then she turned again to her cempanion—none other than the illustrious guest in the interest of whose safety I was working. I was very near them. Looking about I saw both the men who had been in the House with the Green Blirds hovering near the doorway. Behind them towered Ray’s well-set head. I signaled him to. clese in. His orders were to arrest them as quietly as they would permit it to be done, and to awalt, in the carriage which had been provided, my arrival with madam. She was standing, with her’ companion, near one of the tables, and I saw him pour a glass of champagne ard hand it to her. He waiched her, smilingly, as she daintily put it to her lips, and then turned to find one fcr himself. As he did so I saw madam’s hand go steadily into the bosom of her gown, and, taking out a small silver vinaigrette, hold it carelessly for an instant over her glass. The great man turned to her again and lightly touched her glass with his own. “May fortune bring you everything which has not already escaped her,” he said, gal- lantly. “To a health like that, monsieur,” re- plied her marvelous voice, “in.my country it Is a custom to change glasses, that each may drink the good fortune of the other.” “A very pretty custom,” he said, with a heavy laugh. “Let us follow it.” The glasses changed hands. If he should swallow that deadly thing—good heavens! I threw myself forward, falling heavily against him. Half the wine went trickling down his coat, and he turned abcut with a savage imprecation. I seized the glass and poured what remained through my fingers until they touched the hard little pellets it contained. Knowing that they had not been there long enough to soften, and that there wae no danger from them, I put them in my pocket, and, with what sang froid I could muster, turned to madam and offered her my arm. “Madam,” I stammered, “is forgetful and mistaken. In her country no way of treat- ing a toast is so unlucky.” The great man looked dazed, but I saw Be ree Gaile Of Oo as Wee eas come into madam’s eye, and I heard her murmur an apology to him. “For a few minutes—pardon me—an old friend whom I have not seen—since—last night.” ‘She allowed her hand to rest lightly upon my arm. = “For a moment,” she said, “come in here,” and led me toward the conservatory. I thought no better place could be found for the quiet performance of my duty, for IT wished to avoid a scene. A maid could be dispatched for her wraps, aid for my own as well, and I could conduct her, as secretly as she would al- up to the carriage which was awaiting er. She sank upon a cushioned window seat and motioned me to a chair which stood fac- ing it. A strange desire to humor her took pessession of me. For a moment she let her eyes rest quietly upon my own. “Your disguise becomes you,” she sald, critically. “And yours,” I replied, “becomes you very i1"* Her lips kept their seriousness of outline and her eyes remained fixed on mine. There was a short interval of silence and then she rose to her feet, standing over me. I start- ed to follow her example, but she motioned me back, and somcthing impelled me to obey. I saw that she had unfastened a splendid tiara of diamonds and sapphires from her hair and was turning it over and over in her hards, where the light from above incessantly toyed with it. The glitter of the thing fascinated me; my eyes followed every mcvement. I tried to turn away, and could not. A drowsy sensation came over me, the soft tenes of her voice droned in my ears, sounding far away and sweet and sweeter still. And then came a dull, monotonous rattle. A newspaper rustled at my elbow. A man's vc'ce—Ray’s—was rpeaking. My eyes were opened (I could not remember unclosing them) and I was gazing about stupidly. The surroundings were familiar enough. An or- dinary passenger coach, jorneying swiftly along through the sweet air of a summer morning. A lot of strange people about; Ray in the place beside me, reading the per. “If there was such a plot afoot here,” he was saying, “it seems to have slipped up —_—_——— ‘The Laws of Whist.
