CriAPTHIt XXVI.
ON the evening of the day which
saw our first recognition of
this rrime as the work of Ve-
ronica Moore the following no-
tkte anpoan! in the Star and all the
other local Journals:
"Any poreou who positively reams-
br passing throHRU Wavorler avonue
botweon N and II straits on the even-
ing of May 11 at or nar the hour of a
quarter past 7 will rotifer a taror en
the detective force of the Dlatrlat by
WtuinuiilentliiK the same to F. at tlie
police hMulqunrlrs Ih C street."
I was UF.." and I wss aoon tleop In
biifllmw. 11 tit I was readily able to
Identify those who cam from euHo
ItT. and as tm porsons who had mi!y
fulfilled tlie conditions exprtwiied In
my aUvurthwBeut were few nn evnlnM
anil iuornliiK'9 work stilnred to sift thi
whole matter down to the one man
who couW tvll me just whnt I wanted
to ktww. With this man I went to tha
KMJor and aa a rtwult we all mat later
In thu day at Mr. Moore's door.
This gentleman looked sUtrtlrd enough
wln he saw the uuinbor and alMrae-
torot bis vUltora. but his grand air did
not forsaku htm and his wetcumd was
both dlgnlued and conllnl. Uut I did
not like the way his eye rented on uv..
But the slight venom Tlslble In It at
that moment was nothing to what he
nftrwanl displayed when nt a allKht
growl from !tuilgt who stood In an
nttitudu of offeuau In the doorway bt-
yond I drew the attention of all to the
dog by saying sharply:
Thire Is our wltutHS slr. Thoro Is
tlio (Jog who will not cross the street
even when his master calls hlra but
crouches on the edge of tho curb und
waits with eager eyes bnt Iramovnblo
body till thnt tnastor comes back. Isn't
that so Mr. Moore? Have I not hoard
y.ou utter more than ono complaint In
this regard?"
"I cannot deny It" w s tho stiff re-
ply "but what"
I did not wait for him to finish.
"Mr. Curreflti." I uaked. "1s this tho
animal you passod botween the hours
of 7 and 8 on tho evening of
May 11 crouching In front of this
house with bis nose to tho curbstone?"
"It Is; I noted him particularly; ha
seemed to bo watching the opposite
bout."
Instantly I turned upon Mr. Moore.
"Is Iludge tho dog to do that" I
nskod "If his mastor were not thoro7
Twice have I myself seen hltn In. the
selfsame place and with the Belfsnme
air of expectant attention and both
times you had crossed to the botiuu
which you acknowledgu he wilt ap-
proach no nearer than the curb on this
aide of the streeL"
"You hare me" was the short reply
with which Mr. Mooro garo np the
Mr. C.
f:;fy u -
fetrugRlo. "Rudgfl go back to your
place. When you uro wanted in the
courtroom I will let you know."
The smile with which ho suld this
was sarcastic enough but It was sar-
casm directed mainly against himself.
We were not surprised when after
Noma Hbnrp persuasion ou the part of
the major be laauuhed Into the fol-
lowing recital of his secret relation to
what bo called tbe last tragedy ever
likely to occur In tbe Mooro family.
"I never thought it wrong to bo cu-
rious about tho old place; I never
thought it wrong to bo curious about
its mysteries. I only considered it
wrong or at all events 111 Judged to
annoy Veronica in regard to tbum or
to trouble her In any wuy about tho
means by which I might effect an en-
trance Into It walls. So I took the
ono that offored and said nothing.
"I linve visited tho old house many
times during my sojourn In this little
cottage Tb lut time was as one of
your number has ho ably discovered
on the most memorable night In its
history; the one In which Mrs. Jeffrey's
remarkable death omirred there. The
interest roused in me by tbe unex-
pected recurrence of the old fatality at
tending Uio library hearthstone reached
ltd culmination wheu I perceived one
night Ibe gilut of a candle burning In
the southweat chamber. I did nut
know who was responsible for thin
light but I strongly suspected it to be
Mr. Jeffrey for who else would dure
to light a candle in this disused bouse
without Drat seeing that all the abut
tor were fast?
"I dkl not dislike Mr. Jeffrey or ques-
tion bis right to do this. Nevertheless
I was yry angry. Though allied to a
Moore be was not one himself and the
difference in our privileges affected me
strongly ; consequently I watebed till
he earne out and upon positively ree-
Votli Dsvis fives ss
ognlxlng bis figure vowed in my wrath
and jealous Indignation to visit tbe
old bouse myself an the following night
and make cm SaaJ attempt to learn
tbe secret which wvuid again mako me
feel myself tbe equal of this man. If
not bla superior.

wanted Drat tn aw what Mr.
JcfTri'j' lm 1 bn up to tbe night bo-
ron and nct to spend an hour over a
certain book of okl memoir which In
raraltlut! the past might explain tbe
prpsr-nt Yon re-nwmber a door loading
Into tth library from the rear room. It
was by this door I entered bringing
with me from the kitchen tbe chair you
afterward found there.
"I knew where tbe volume of mem-
oirs I apeak of was tn bt found you
do too I see for It w my hand
which had placed It In Its present roti-
coalment. Quite determined to reread
such portions of It aa 1 bad long before
marked aa pertinent to tire very at-
tempt I had in mind ! brought in tire
candelabrum from the parlor and drew
out a txhle to hokl It ilttt I waited a
few momenta before taking down tbe
book Itself. I wanted first to learn
what Mr. Jeffrey bad been doing up
stairs tbe nhfht before; so tatvltt the
light burning In the library t proceed-
ed to the mouthweat chamber holding
an unlit candle In my band the light
feebly diffused through the halls from
some upper windows being sufficient
for me to see my way. But in tbe
chamber ItHoIf all wan dark.
"The wind had not yet rleen ami the
shutter which a half hour later moved
so reetleaaty on its creaking binges
bugged the window so tightly that I
lmaglued Mr. Jeffrey had fastened it
tha night before. Looking for some re-
ceptacle In which to set the candle I
now lit I failed to rind anything but an
empty tumbler so I made use of that
Then I glnuced about me bnt seeing
nothing worth my attention Mrs. Jef-
frey's wedding fixings did not Interest
me and everything else nbout tbe
room looking natural except the over-
turned uhalr which struck me aa ltn-
uiHterlnl I hurried dowtistalra again
leaving the cnudle burning behind mo
In cose I should wlttb to return aloft
after I had refreshed my uiiud with
what bad been wrltteu about this old
room.
"Not n sound disturbed the house ns
I seated myself to my rending in front
of the library shelves. I was au much
alone under that desolate roof as mor-
tal could bo with men uuywliero with-
in roach of him. I enjoyed he solltuda
and was making n very pretty theory
for myself on a scrap of paper I tore
from another old book wbtm a notio
suddenly rose In front which slight as
It was was quite unmistakable ears
trained to listening. Some one was un-
locking tbe front door.
"Nnturnlly I thought it to bo Mr. Jef-
frey returning for a second visit to his
wife's house and. knowing what I
might oxpect If be nurprlsod me on the
promises I restored the book hastily
to ltn place und as hastily blow out the.
ottndle. Then with every Intention of
flight I buckod toward tbe door by
which I had entered. Hut soma Im-
pulse stronger tbnn that of tmenpe
mado mo stop Just before I reached It.
I could soo nothing tho place was dark
ns Topbot but I could listen. The per-
sonMr. Jnffrey or some other was
coming mj way and In perfect dark-
ness. I could hear the faltering steps
tbe Angers dragging along the walls;
then a rustle as of skirts proving the
intruder to be a woman a fact which
greatly surprised me then a long
drawn sigh or gasp.
"This Inet determined me. Tbe situ-
ation was too Intense for me to lenvu
without first learnlpg who the woman
was who In terror and shrinking dared
to drug her bulf resisting feet through
these empty balls and Into a place
cursed with such unwholesome mem-
ories. I did not think of Veronica. No
ono looks for a butterfly In the depths
of a dungeon. Hut I did think of Miss
Tuttle that woman of resolute will.
Without attempting to imagine (ha
reason for her presence I stood my
ground and darkened till tbe heavy
mabugany door at tho other end of
the room began to swing In by "Jerks
under tbe faint and tremulous piic.li of
a terrified hnnd. Then thore come
silence a long silence followed by n
moan so agonlied that I realized that
whatever was thu cause of this punting
woman's presence burn it was due to
no mere errand of curiosity. This
whetted my purpose. Anything done
In this touse wuh In n way done to iue;
so I remained quiet and watched. Hut
tho sounda which now and then euine
from tbe remote corner upon which
my attention was concentrated wore
very eloquent.
"I heard sighs and bitter groans with
now and then n murmured pruyer
broken by a low walling In which I
eaugbt tbe nnme of frauds. And still
possibly on account of the utterance of
this tiauie I thought the woman near
me to be Mlsa Tuttle and even went
so far as to Imagine tbe cause of ber
suffering If not the nature of ber re-
tribution. Words succeeded eries and
I eaugbt phrases expressive of fear
and some sort of agonlaed heaitation.
Once theee broken ejaculations ware
Interrupted by a dull sound. Some-
thing bad dropped to the bare floor.
We shall never know what it was but
I bave no doubt that it wm tbe plstel
and that tbe marks of dust to be found
on the connecting ribbon were made
by her own fingers In taking It again In
her band. (You will remember that
these same fingers had but a few win
utes prevlouii groped their way along
tbe walls.) For ber voice soon took i
dlfforout tone and such unintelligible
phrases as these could be beard Issu-
ing from her partly paralysed lips:
'"I must! I aq never meet his eye
again alive. Ua would despise Urate
enough to to another's blood cow-
ard when own. Ob Ood forglver
Then another alienee during wbleb I
almost made up my mind to Interfere
then a loud report and a flash so star-
tling and unexpected that I recoiled
durlPjr wbleb tbe room leaped luJ.o
sudden vlow-.he too Veronica with
baby face drawn and set like a wpta-
an'e then darkness again aud a heavy
fall wbieb shook the floor If not my
bard old heart The flash and that
foil enlightened me. I bad just wtt-
neused the suicide of tbe last Moore

I do not yet understand.
