I told myself that I was mistaken. { told myself. that the light upon it bad too brief, too sudden and cel bang to permit me to recog: ‘lize any face. But 1 stared and stared at that unshuttered window and wondered what was back of those winking blank panes, and that strange, haunting resemblance to Sue Tally’s face would not leave me Suddenly 1 was conscious that Lovschiem had roused from his distraction sufficiently to note my faze and follow it. ft had the Im- pression he had overlooked some pressing and urgent: aspect of af- fairs, This impression. was con- firmed when he caught his breath sharply, slid a quick glance at me, and said suddenly: _* ‘But k most go.

There is no one there.” ‘ “There certainly was a face there, Lovschiem.” eh It seemed to me he looked faintly relievec at the implication that I did not know the face, But he said a word or two to the priest, who did not look around. or ceply,,9ad. wad- died hurriedly away. At the end of the passage /he met the little porter and stopped for a few words with him before he disappeared around the corner, and the porter hurried toward us. ; Madame had called him, the por- ter said breathlessly, and he was to remain with us while Monsieur went to her assistance. Turning into my room, I threw my coat over my shoulders and,took @ flashlight from my bag. THe" lit- tle porter watched me anxiously, and I said as I returned to the cor ridor: “I'm going to look about the court. Back in a moment.” ‘ He did not seem reassured, but, of course, had nothing to say. Then 1 closed the door, saw the porter bright eyes watching it and what be could see of me, stepped out of their range of vision, and snapped the button .on my fashifght, it mado a darting circle of thin light on the stone door of the lanling. ange were no signe of a strug: gle, but I could have expected Bone.

There was Adthing but a dark blotch, quite smal, where the dead man had huddled. 1 bent close to the worn stone and looked and looked, turning my flash: Nght here and thero, and eventually 1 did discover a small red piece of what looked like hard- rubber or very hard wax. it was rongh and irregularly semicireular and about the size of a half-dollar.

He certainly was not apt to re enter the hotel by way of the wind ing stairway and the corridor where the priest and the porter waited; if I followed the wall cautiously past the great fron gate below the. en- trance arch and then around the - corner, opposite, 1 might catch him at the door of the lohby.

They whipped the Pi- tates in the first contest by a 8-5 score and bested the El Fenix Club in the nightcap 3-2, The Sluggers had little trouble in defeating the Pirates who were a little tod confident of victory. The best game of the season was witnessed when the El Fenix Club, playing in place of the Key ‘West team, who disbanded, put up a@ fine exhibition against the Young Sluggers. This contest proved to be a real pitchers’ bat- tle between Robert Bethel and Frank Salinero. Bethel was in fine form and got the best of Salinero; this was due to a couple f bad errors not shown in the score, Salinero strack out 12 batters.
