There | was one consolation in the absence of | those friends from town; he was not - @Yes,” was the e prompt Teply. 'Ho was struck over the head with some , kind of blunt instrument. It is pretty | ! certain that only ong of the blows— the one on the temple—could have proved fatal; the other—right behind the left ear—might have stunned him or produced unconsciousness, But.as to who did it—there's the question. There are some extraordinary features about this murder, Mr. Van Vechten. 2 Rudolph Van Vechten rose and walked over to a front window. “Come here,” he invited Mr, Flint. | | And then, after the latter had quietly ' | joined him, he nodded toward Number “See that house across the way?]| Well, less than two minutes before my | friend and I came up with the poor obliged to invent answers to embar- | chap iying in the alley, he emerged rassing inquiries concerning his dila- | {rom there. I am pretty certain, too, ) tory cousin. But this was small com- | thht his departure was accompamod. pensation for stewing in New York by i by some sort of fracas—bcfore the himself until Paige chose to notify him | door was opened, you know.” of her whereabouts and intended move- ments. He gave one moment of eober thought to the circumstance that he really did not know precisely where she was; if some sudden emergency should arise necessitating a cable he would not know where to reach her. But he speedily dismissed this phase | of the matter; it was no new thingj = for Paige to start off on a holiday jaunt without confiding her proposed ! itinerary to anybody, and now Mrs. Devereaux was with her. “Just the same,” he mused, knew where to catch her, I would send Fla., and paying charges. her a cable that would set her ta guessmg for a while.” Unable longer to remain quiescent he bounded from his chair and collid- ed with Alexander, who was seeking him in his corner—an accident that did not affect the page’s accustomed composure in the least. “Gentleman to see you, sir,” Alex-; ander announced, “Who is it?” Van Vechten snapped irritably. “I don’t want to see any- body—" He paused. Didn’t he? Alexander had not presented a card, but whoever the caller might be he signified a di- version. If he tried any longer to think he would be a raving lunatic in another hour. And, besides, something had destroyed the savor of the sole! pleasurable aspect of his meditations. Alexander resolved his doubts. He caught a knowing look in the page's countenance. “Beggin’ your pardon, Vechten, I think you'd want to see this gentleman.” “Very well,” Van Vechten weariedly acquiegced. “Show him in.” He did not know the man who imme- diately followed Alexander into the “Why Can't You Let a Fellow Alone When He Wants to Think by Him- self, lounging-room. The stranger was un- der medium height, slender and un- assuming in appearance, but carried himself with a certain quiet assurance that commanded attention. He was as gray as a badger, and his lean, smooth-shaven face resembled tooled leather. There was a conapxcuously alert look about his steady gray eyes, Van Vechten also noted, which presently disclosed a habit of narrowing and re- vealing a web of fine wrinkles at their corners. This single change of facial muscles, Van Vechten soon learned to recognize, possessed the peculiarity of indicating one of two moods—concen- tration upon the matter in hand, or else a smiling humor that made one warm to him. Van Vechten felt that his visitor would be chary of speech, but that whatever he might say would be well worth harkening to. “Mr. Rudolph Van Vechten?” now queried the newcomer in a tone that Mr. Van | in face. Owner may secure same by “if 1'applying to B. A. Guthrie, Griffin, 1626 Ei\.’s é’u;e !““' LS VRS |‘ J:'i" . | could not have carried a yard beyond the person to whom it was addressed. Van Vechten nodded and motioned to a chair, “My name,” he acknowledged. And, with a wry mouth: “You are a detec- tive. I might have expected it—but I didn’t.” Instantly the steady eyes contracted and wrinkled at the corners. The young man all at once discovered that his irritation was evaporating, and that he could smile in sympathy with his visitor. Said the quiet voice: “I am glad to know that my estimate of your intelli- gence was not at fault. Flint is my name—Phineas Flint—from Central Office.” “Considering that you have never seen mo before, Mr. Flint,” Van Vech- ten lightly retorted, “it is rather ex- traordinary that you should possess any particulars upon which to base! an estimate of my intelligence.” The steady, xunlmg regard still met the young ma" '8, “I'll demonstrate just how simple I matter it is—if you have pn.rdoned this | intrusion?” The listener nodded. His attention was already won, | “Have you any idea how the poor chap met his death?” he queried, Paal DDA DBIRAII OO :\ Estab!istied in July, 1900 ! & DR. W. §.
