Without a word, Kennedy motioned to me to “listen in" on the extension on my desk. which he had ® placed there as a precaution so that 1 could corroborate any conversation that took’ place over our wires. “This is Dr. Leslie—the coroner. Can you come to the Municipal Hos- pital—right away?’ “Right away, doctor)" answered Cralg. hanging up the receiver. “Wal- ter, you'll come; too?" A quarter of an hour later we were in the courtyard of the city's largest hospital. In the balmy sunmshine the convalescing patients were sitting on benches or slowly trying their strength, walking over the grass. clad in_faded hospital bath robes. We entered the office and quickly were conducted by an orderly to & little laboratory in a distant win “What's the matter?” asked Craig as we hurried along. don’t know exactly,” replied the man, “except that it seems that Price Maitland, the broker, you know, was picked up on the street and brousht here dying. He dled betere the doc- tors could relleve him." Dr. Leslie was walting impatiently for us. “What do you make of that, Prof. Kennedy?" The coroner spread out on the table before us a folded half-sheet of type- writing and searched Craig's face . eagerly to see what impression it made on him. “We found it stuffed in Maitland's outside coat pocket.” he explained. Tt was dateless and brief: “Dearest Madeline. “May God !n His mercy forgive me for what I am about to do. I have fust seen Dr. Ross. He has told me the nature of your iilness. I cannot bear to think that T am the cause, s T am_golng simply to drop out of vour life. T cannot live with you and 1 cannot live without you. Do blame me.

I shall need to keep it." The cab in which we had come_to the hospital was still walting. “We must see Mrs. Maitiand first,” sald Kennedy, as we left the nonplussed coroner and his assistant The Maitlands lived, we soon found, In a large old-fashioned brownstone house just oft 5th avenue. Kennedy's card with the message that it was very urgent brought us as far as the library, where we sat for a moment looking around at the quiet refinement of a more than well- to-do home. On a desk at one ond of the long typewriter. Kennedy b3 There was not a sound of any one in either the hallway or the ad: joining room t later he was bending quietly over the type- writer in the corner, running off a series of characters on a sheet of paper. A sound of a closing door up- stairs and he quickly jammed the paper imto his pocket, retraced his steps and was sitting quietly oppo- site me again. Mrs. Maitiand was a tall, perfectly formed woman of baffling age. but with the impression of both youth and maturity which was very fasci- nating. She was calmer now, and although she seemed to be of any- thing but a hysterical nature, it W quite evident that her mervousn: was due to much more than the shock of the recent tragic event, great as that must have been. It may have been that I recalled the words of the note, “Dr. Ross has told me the n: ture of your illness,” but I fancied that she had been suffering from some nervous trouble. There is no use proionging our in- troduction, Mrs. Maltland,” began Kennedy. “We have called because the authoritles are not yet fully con- vinced that Mr. Maitland committed suicide.” It was evident that she had seen the note, at least. “Not a suicide?” she repeated, looking from one to the other of us. 2 “Mr. Masterson on the wire, ma'am,’ whispered & maid.” “Do you wish to speak to him?

A few moments later Mrs. Maltland returned, calmer. ‘In his note.” resumed Kennedy, “he ke of Dr. Ross and—" 'Oh,” she cried, “can’t you see Dr. Ross about it? Really I—I couldn’t be—questioned in this way—not now, so soon after what I've had to go through.” It scemed that her nerves were get- ting unstrung again. Kennedy rose to go. “Later, come to see me," she plead- ed. “But now—you must realize—it is too much. I cannot talk—I cannot.” “Mr. Maitland had no enemies t| you know of?' asked Kennedy, d }arngnoc to learn something now, a} 0, no.
