CONTINUED PbBm SECOND .PAGE. Tho thought -which proved such a fund, of merriment was the idea that his man tip stairs had proved himself just as hu man as ordinary criminals, since he had left behind him the very telltale mark which he had boasted would not be found after he had committed his crime. Externally, however, there was no sign to show that Mr. Barnes was in anyway excited. He calmly asked at tho desk for Mr. Mitchel, and sent up his card just as any ordinary visitor might have done. In a few minutes the hallboy returned with tho curt message, "Come up." Mr. Barnes was shown up one flight of stairs into a suit of two rooms and a bath overlooking Twenty-third street. The room which ho passed in to from the hall was fitted up like a bachelor's par lor. Comfortable stnffed chairs and two sofas, a folding reading chair, an up right piano in mahogany case with handsome piano lamp beside it, a carved center table on which stood a reading lamp, cigar case in bronze, photo al bums, handsome pictures on tho walls in gold frames, elegant vases on the mantel, an onyx clock, a full sfzed figure of a Moor carved in wood serving as a card receiver in fact, everything about the place was significant of wealth, luxury and refinement. Could this be the den of a murderer? It seemed not, nu lesstbere might be some powerful hid den motive, which would make a man who was evidently a gentleman stoop to such a crime. According to Mr. Barnes' experience such a motive must involve a woman. As yet there was no woman in this case, save the corpse which ho had just left. All this flashed through the detective's mind as he noted his sur roundings in a few swift glances. Then he heard a voice from the next room say: "Come in, Mr. Barnes. We must not stand upon ceremony with one another. " Mr. Barnes, in answer to the invita tion, crossed into the adjoining room and noticed at once that the sleeping apart ment was as luxurious as tho parlor. Mr. Mitchel was standing in front of a mirror shaving himself, being robed in a silk morning wrapper. "Pardon this intrusion," began Mr. Barnes. "But you told me I might call at any time, and" "No excuses necessary, except from tne. But I must finish shaving, you know. A man can't talk wiUi lather on one side of his face. " "Certainly not Don't hurry. lean wait" "Thank you 1 Take a seat. You will find that armchair by tho bed comforta ble. This is an odd hour to be making one's toilet; but, the fact is, I was out late last night." "At the club, I suppose," said Mr. Barnes, wishing to see if Mr. Mitchel would lie to him. In this ho was disap pointed, for the reply was : "No; I went to the Casino. Lillian Kussell, you know, has returned. I had promised a friend to go, so we went." "A gentleman?" "Are you not getting inquisitive? No; not a gentleman, but a lady. In fact, that is her picturo on that easel. " Mr. Barnes looked and saw an oil painting representing a inarvelously beautiful head a brunette of strong emotions and great will power, if her portrait wero truthful. Here was a sig nificant fact Mr. Mitchel said that he had been to tho Casino with this wom an. Wilson claimed that they had gone to the house where the murdered wom an lay. It would seom that Mr. Mitch el's friend must live there, and thus he had gained access tho night before. Did he know that the other also lived there and did he go into her apartment after leaving his companion? As this passed through Mr. Barnes' mind his eyes wandered across the bed. Ho saw a waistcoat, upon which he observed two buttons similar to-the one which ho had secreted in his pocket. Stealthily ho reached his hand toward the bed, but his fingers had scarcely touched the waistcoat when Mr. Mitchel said with out turning from his shaving : "There is no money in that waistcoat, Mr. Barnes." "What do you mean to insinuate?" said Mr. Barnes angrily, withdrawing his hand quickly. Hr. Mitchel paused a Stealthily ht readied his hand toward tho bed. moment before replyiag, deliberately made one or two more sweeps with his razor, then turned and faced the detect ive. "I mettn, Mr. Barnes, that you forgot that I was looking into a mirror." "Yoar remark indicated that I meant to steal." "Dii it? I iiotrj. Bat really yc ;jiit - n THE TOY KING, should not adopt a tliigr7s steauny methods if yon are so sensitive. When I invite a gentleman into my private room, I do not expect to have him fin gering my clothing while my back is turned. ' ' "Take care, Mr. Mitchol, yon are speaking to a detective. If I did stretch my hand toward your clothing, it was with no wrong intent, and you know it. " "Certainly I do, and what is more I know just what yon were wishing to do. You must not get angered so easily. I should not have used tho words which I did, but to tell yon the truth I was piqued." "I don't understand." "It hurt my feelings to have you treat me just like an ordinary criminal. That you should think I would let you come in here and make whatever examina tions you havo in your mind right bo fore my very eyes wounded my pride. I never should have turned my back upon you except that I faced a mirror. I told you I know what you wished to do. It was to examino the buttons on my vest, was it not?" Mr. Barnes was staggered, but did not show it. Calmly ho said: "As you know, I overheard your con - versation on the having a sot of train. You spoko of five curious buttons and" "Pardon me, I said six, not five." Onco more Mr. Barnes had failed to trap the man. He suggested five, hoping that Mr. Mitchel might claim that to havo been the original number, thus elimi nating the lost one. "Of course you did say six, now I re member," he contiuned, "and I think you will admit it was not unnatural cu riosity which led me to wish to seo them, that that well, that I might recog nize them again." "A very laudable intent. But, my dear Mr. Barnes, I havo told . you that you may call upon mo at any timo and ask me any questions you please. Why did yon not frankly ask me to show you tho buttons?" "I should have done so. I dosonow. " "They aro in tho vest. You may ex amine them if you desire it. " Mr. .Barnes took up the vest, aud was puzzled to find six buttons, three of Ju liet and three of Borneo. Still he was satisfied; for they were identical with the one in his pocket. It occurred to him that this man who was so careful in his precautious might have lied as to the number in tho set, and havo said six when in reality tberowero seven. A few questions about the buttons seemed op portune. "These aro veiy beautiful, Mr. Mitch el, and uuiquo too. I have nover heard of cameo buttons before. I think you said they were mado expressly for yon. " Mr. Mitchel dropped into a cushioned rocker before ho replied : and they aro exquisite specimens of the graver's art. Cameo buttons, however, aro not so uncommon as you suppose, though they aro more usually worn by women, and, in fact, it was a woman's idea to nave theso cut. I should not havo" "By Jove!" said Mr. Barnes, "the Romeo buttons aro copies from your likeness, and good portraits too." "Ah! You havo noticed that, have you?" "Yes, and the Juliets are copies of that picture." Mr. Barnes was getting excited, for if these buttons were por traits, anil the one in his pocket was that of tho woman whose likeness stood on ine wise!, it was evident that they wftre connected. Mr. Mitchel eyed him keenly. "Mr. Barnes, you are disturbed. What is it?" "I am not distnrbed." "You are, and it is the sight of those buttons which has caused it. Now tell i me your reason morning." for coming hero this I Mr. Barnes thought the time had come to strike a deciding blow. "Mr. Mitchel, first answer one ques tion, and think well before you reply. How many buttons were made for this set?" "Seven," answered Mr. Mitchel, so promptly that Mr. Barnes could only repeat, amazed: "Seven? But you said six only a mo ment ago!" "I know what I said. I never forget any statement that I make, and all my statements are accurate. I said that six is the entire set. Now you ask mo what was the original nnmber, and I reply seven. Is that clear?" "Then tho other button has been lost?" "Not at all. I know where it is. " "Then what do you mean by saying that the set now is only six?" "Excuse me, Mr. Barnes, if I decline to answer that question. I liave replied now to several sinco I asked you why you came here this morning." 'I will tell you," said the detective, playing his trump card, as ho thought T ltnva Tuum vnw 41- nTn a a v-r-iT. your crime was committed, and I have found that seventh button!" If Mr. Barnes expected Mr. Mitchel to recoil with fear, or tremble, or do anything that an ordinary criminal does when brought face to face with evidence of his guilt, he must have been disappointed. But it jo safe to assume that by this time so skillful a man as Mr. Barnes did not expect so consummate an actor as Mr. Mitchel to betray feeling. He did show some interest, however, for he arose from his chair, and walking ud to Mr. BWneB he asked Eipaply: THAT PLAGE IB "THE PAIR." .znncErszT1 ZEospiiixx-r "Haveyon it with you' "iuay zsee icr Mr. Barnes hesitated a moment, won dering if he risked losing tho button by handing it to him. Ho decided to give it to him and did so. Mr. Mitchel looked at it closely, as though an expert, and after several mo ments of silence ho tossed it carelessly into the air, catching it as it came down, and then said : "This would make a pretty situation in a play, Mr.Barnes. Follow me. De tective discovers crime and finds curious button. Goes straight to criminal and boldly tells him of the fact. Criminal admits that he has but six buttons out of seven and asks to see the button found. Detectivo foolishly hands it to him. Then criminal smiles blandly and says : 'Mr. Detectivo, now I have seven buttons, and my set is complete again. What are you going to do about it?' " "And the detective would reply," said Mr. Barnes, falling into the humor, of the situation, "Mr. Criminal, I will just take that back by force:" "Exactly. You catch the spirit of the stage picture. Then fight between two men, applause from tho gallery, and vic tory for either partv, as the author has ! decided. That is the way it would be done in a play. But in real life it is dif ferent. I simply hand you back your button thus, " handing button to Mr. Barnes and bowing politoly. Then he remarked: "Mr. Barnes, you are wel coinotothat. It is not a part of my set!" "Not a part of your set?" echoed the detective, dumfoended. "Not a part of my set. I am sorry to disappoint you, but so it is. I will even explain, for I sympathize with you. I told you the set was originally seven. So it was, but the seventh button has tho head of Shakespeare on it. All seven were given to me by my friend, but as I could wear but six I returned to her this odd Shakespeare button, which I had made into a breastpin, and kept the others, thus reducing the set of but fons to six. The seventh is no longer a button, you see." "Bnt how do you coconut for the fact that this button which I have is plainly a portrait of your friend and a counter part to thoso on ycur vest?" "My dear Mr. Barnes, I don't account for it. I don't have to, you know. That sort of thing is your business." "What if i shoald decide to arrest you at once and ask a. jury to determine whether your original set included this button or not?" "That would be inconvenient tome, of course. But it is ono of thoso things that we risk every day I mean arrest by some blundering detective. Pardon me, do not get angry again. I do not allude to yourself. I am quite sure that you are too shrewd to arrest me." "And why so, pray?" "Because I am surely not going to rnn away, in the first place, and, second ly you would gain nothing, sinco it would be so easy for me to prove all that I have told you, and, in your mind you aro saying to yourself that I have not lied to you. Beally I have not ' ' "I havo only one thing more to say to you, Mr. Mitchel," said Mr. Barnes, rising. "Will you show me that seventh button, or breastpin?" "That is asking a great deal, but I will grant your request upon ono condi tion. Think well before you make the bargain. When I mado that wager, I did not calculate the possibility of en tangling in my scandal the name of tho woman whom I love dearest on earth. That is tho portrait of the woman who wiU soon become my wife. As I havo said, she has the other button and wears it constantly. You will gain nothing by seeing it, for it will simply corroborate my word, which, I think, you believe now. I will take you to her, and she will tell you of these buttons, if you promise me never to annoy her in anv way in connection with this affair." I will give you that promise cheer fully. I havo no wish to annoy a lady. " "That is for yon to decide. Meet me in the lobby at noon precisely, and I will take you to her house. And now will you excuse me while I complete my toilet:" CHAPTER V. THE SEVENTH BUTTON. On the second floor of the apartment house in East Thirtieth street lived Mrs. Mortimer Remsen and her two daugh ters, Emily and Dora. Mrs Remsen's husband had been dead more than ten years, but he had amassed a handsome fortune, which left his fam ily able to maintain the position in New York society to which they were heirs by birth and breeding. They lived in the most commodious apartment in the magnificent building in Thirtieth street and wero surrounded by an elegant lux ury which results from a combination of wealth and refined taste. They enter tained frequently, and Mrs. Remsen, stiU a handsome woman, was always a conspicuous figure at the most notable social and charitable events of the season. Emily, the eldest daughter, was a woman of 26, who commanded rather than attracted admiration. She was of admirable proportions, easy and regal carriage, with a fine Lead well poised on magnificent shoulders. As to her face well, I cannot describe it better than did the eminent artist, Gaston de Castilla, who was requested to paint her portrait "Madam," said he to her mother. "I do not like to undertake toot commis- B2uu. tuui uxqguvss las uoe ox Tenure SKNTK CLKUS, HKS KRRIVEQ THE IT AIR -t-i marvelous laces wmcn aery art. 'ijvery feature is a departure from recognized standards, and yet the result is nobility and beauty of the highest type. Only nature herself can produce such effects. Through an imperfect countenance she sheds the rays of an illumined soul, till all faults are obliterated, forgotten. We poor artists cannot hope to supply on our cold canvas what so singular a face must ha78 to make it beautiful. " Nev ertheless he did paint the portrait, the one which tho detective had seen in Mr. Mitchel'srpom, and he had succeeded at least in suggesting the marvelous ef fects of character, revealing itself through the features. Other painters had failed, perhaps because they appreciated less than he what they attompted. This description also gives a hint of the woman herself. A combination of all the softer emotional elements, she dominated self and others by a supreme Will. She was rarely disobeyed by suitor or by servant. That she had engaged herself to marry Mr. Mitchel had sur prised the entire circle within which she moved, and yet perhaps tho secret of his success lay in the simple fact that he had had the courage to ask for her, and to do so in a loving but masterful way which plainly showed that he antici pated no refusal or coy hesitancy. His wooing had been of an impetuous whirl wind kind, and he was affianced to her within a month of their acquaintance. It was this fact which had caused the. most comment Mr. Mitchel moved in good society, but he was n newcomer, and now that he had captured the prize of the matrimonial market all were asking "Who is he?" a question which none seemed able to answer. Ho was a southerner, and that single fact had shed about him a halo of attractive light which had blinded the eyes of those who feebly attempted to look deeper. Mrs. Remsen had protested when Emily announced her engagement, but Emily had replied, "Mother, I have given my word," and tho discussion was ended. A few moments later she had affectionately seated herself at her mother's feet, and, after tenderly kiss ing her, whispered: "I love him. He is my king," and then buried her head in her parent's lap. Pew women argue against an appeal of that nature. Thus Emily and Mr. Mitchel became engaged, after which he came and went mnch as though ho were tho master of tho house. Why not, since he had become the mas tar nf its mistress? TO BE CONTINUED. Pale, thin, bloodless people should use Dr, Saw yer's Ukatine.
