“The French are receiving in their
homes refugees from Belgium and
northern France. The Germans are
doing the same as regards the refu
gees from oriental Prussia.”
The speaker was a returned tourist.
He went on:
"Many French and German house
holds have neither room enough nor
means enough to take in a whole fam
ily. They must confine themselves to
one child. Well, they invariably bid
then for a little girl. They never want
a boy.
"I have seen in my travels several
hundred of these offers to take in
children—and every blessed offer was
for girls. What is the cause of this?
The cause must evidently be that
girls are better behaved, more amiable
and nicer all around than boys.
“The war, besides teaching me ge
ography, has taught mo that female
children stand miles higher in popular ,
esteem than male children. What’s !
the trouble with us males? We’d bet

A social worker in England was
questioned as to unemployment in his

but a good deal of half time. Still,
things aren't so bad as they might be,
for now there’s little racing, a lot of
money gets home /which would never
get there ordinarily. The bookies’
runners are feeling the war more than
anybody.”

CHAPTER VI.—(Continued.)
“ ‘I don't want to be disturbed, Reg
ers,’ he said, and como in hero and
Bhut the door after him.
“It was maybe twenty minutes after
that that the doorbell rung, and when
I opened the door, there was a woman
standing on the steps.”
He stopped and swallowed once or
twice, as though his throat was dry,
and I saw that his fingers were twitch
ing nervously.
“Did you know her?” questioned
Grady.
Rogers loosened his collar with a con
vulsive movement.
“No. sir, I’d never seen her before,”
he answered hoarsely.
"Describe her.”
Rogers closed his eyes, as though In
an effort of recollection.
“She wore a heavy veil, sir, so that
I couldn’t see her very well; but the
first thing I noticed was her eyes—they
were so bright, they seemed to burn
right through me. Her face looked
white behind the veil, and I eauW see
how red her lips were—I didn’t like her
looks, sir, from the first.”
"How was she dressed?”
“In a dark gown, sir, cut so skimpy
that I knowed she was French before
she spoke.”
"Ah!” said Grady. “She was French,
was she?”
“Yes, sir; though she could speak
same English. She asked for Mr. Van
tine. I told her lir. Vantine was busy.
And then slie said something very fast
about how she must see him, and all
the time kept edging In and In. till
the first thing I knowed she was inside
the door and then she Just pulled tho
door out of my hand and shut it. I ask
you, sir. Is that the way a lady would
behare?"
“No,” said Grady, “I dare say not.
But go ahead—and take your time.”'
Rogers had gained his self-confi
dence, and he went ahead almost glibly.
“ ‘See here, madam,’ says I, Sve’ve
xlrad enough trouble here today with
Frenchles, and if you don’t get out
quietly, why. I'll have to put you out.'
“ ‘I must Mistaire Vangtine,” she
says, very fast. ‘I must Mistaire Vang
tine. It is most necessario that I see
Mistaire Vangtine.’
“ ‘Then I'll have to put you out,’ says
I, and took hold of her arm. And at
that she screanwd and Jerked liersilf
away; and I grabbed her again, and
Just then Mr. Vantine opened the door
there and came out Into tho hall.
“ 'What's all this, Rogers,’’ he says.
‘Who is this party?'
“But before I could answer, that wild
cat had rushed over to him and began
to reel off a string of French so fast
I wondered how she got her breath.
And Mr. Vantine looked at her kind of
surprised at first, and then he got more
interested, and finally ho asked her in
and shut the door, and that was the
last I saw of them.”
"You mean you didn’t let the woman
out?” demanded Grady.
“Yes, all, that’s Just what I mean. I
thought If Mr. Vantine wanted to talk
with her, well and good; that was his
business, not mine; so I went back to
the pantry to help the cook with the
silver, expecting to hear tho bell every
minute. But the bell didn't ring, and
after maybe half an hour, I came out
In the hall again to see if the woman
had gone; and I walked past the door
o" this room but didn’t hear nothing;
and then I went on to the front door,
and was surprised to find it wasn’t
latched."
"Maybe you hadn’t latched It,” sug
gested Grady.
“It has snap lock, sir; when that
woman slammed It shut, I heard It
catch.”
“You’re sure of that?”
“Quite sure, sir.”
"What did you do then?”
“I closed the door, sir, and
then come back along the hall.
I felt uneasy, some way; and I
stood outside the door there list
ening; but I couldn’t hear nothing; and
then I tapped, but there wasn’t no
answer; so I tapped louder, with my
heart somehow working right up into
my mouth. And still there wasn’t no
answer, so I Just opened the door and
looked in—and the first thing I saw was
Iv _1 *
Rogers stopped suddenly, and caught
at his throat again.
"I'll be all right in a minute, sir," he
gasped. “It takes me this way some
times.”
“No hurry” Grady assured him. and
then, when his breath was coming
easier, “What did you do then?"
“I was so scared I couldn’t scarcely
st.-Wl, sir; but I managed to get to the
foo^of the stairs and yell for Parks,
and he come running down—and that’s
all I remember, sir.”
“The woman wasn’t here?”
“No, sir.”
“Did you look through the rooms?”
“No, sir; when I found the front door
open, I knowed she’d gone out She
hadn't shut the door because she was
ufraid I’d hear her.’
“That sounds probable,” agreed
Oradv "But what makes you think
she killed Vantine?”
“Well, sir,” answered Rogers, slowly,
“I guess I oughtn’t to have said that;
but finding the door open that way,
and then coming on Mr. Vantine sort
of upset me—I didn't know Just what I
was saying."
“You don’t think so now, then?”
questioned Grady, sharply.
"I don’t know what to think, sir.”
“You say you never saw the woman
before?”
“Never, sir.”
“Had she ever been here before?"
"I don’t think so, sir. The first thing
she asked was if this was where Mr.
Vantine lived.”
Grady nodded.
“Very good, Rogers," he said. “I’ll
be offering you a place on the force
next. Would you know this woman It
you saw her again?
Rogers hesitated.
"I wouldn’t like to say sure, sir,” he
answered, at last. "I might and I
might not.”
“Red lips and a white face and
bright eyes aren’t much to go on,”
Grady pointed out. “Can’t you give us
a closer description?”
“I’m afraid not, sir. I Just got a gen
eral impression, like. of her face
through her veil.”
“You say you didn’t search these
rooms?”
"No, sir. I didn’t come Inside the
door.”
“Why not?”
“I was afraid to, sir."
"Afraid to?”
"Yes, sir; I’m afraid to be here now.”
"Did Parks come in?"
“No, sir; I guess he felt the same way
I did.”
"Then how did you know Vantine
i
was dead? Why didn't yeu try t« help
him ?"
“One look was enough to tell me that
wasn't no use,” said Rogers, and
glanced, with visible horror, at the
crumpled form on the floor.
Grady looked at him keenly for a
moment; but there seemed to be no
reason to doubt his story. Then the de
tective looked about the roe™.
"There’s one thing I don’t under
stand," he said, “and that Is why Van
tine should want all these lights. What
was lie doing In bore?"
"I couldn’t be sure, sir; hut I suppose
he was looking at the furniture he
brought over from Europe. He was a
collector, you know, sir. There are five
er six pkces In the next room."
Without a word, Grady arose and
passed into the room adjoining, we aft
er him; only Rogers remained
seated where he was. I remem
ber glancing back over my should
er and noting how he hud
dled forward In his chair, a* though
crushed by a great weight, the Instant
our backs were turned.
But I forgot Rogers in contemplation
of the scene before me.
The Inner room was ablaze with
light, and the furniture stood hap
hazard about it. Just as I had seen It
earlier in the day. Only one thing had
been moved. That was the Boule cab
inet.
It had been carried to the center of
the room, and placed in the full glare
of the light from tho chandelier. It
stood there biasing with arrogant
beauty, a thing apart.
Who had helped Vantlne place It
there, I wondered? Neither Rogers
nor Parks had mentioned doing so. I
turned back to the outer room.
Rogers was sitting crouched forward
In his chair, his hands over his eyes,
and I could feel him Jork with ner
vousness as I touched him on the
shoulder.
“Oh, is It you. Mr. Lester?" he
gasped. "Pardon me. sir; I'm not at
all myself, sir.”
"I can see that,” I said, soothingly;
"and no wonder. I Just wanted to
ask you—did you help move any of the
furniture in the room yonder?”
“Help move It. sir?"
"Yes—help change the position of
any of It since this afternoon?"
"No, sir; I haven’t touched any of
It. sir.”

turned back into the inner room.
Vantlne had said that he Intended
examining the cabinet in detail at the
first opportunity; I remembered how
his eyes had gleamed as he looked at
it; how his hand had trembled as he
caressed the arabesques. No doubt
he was making that examination when
he had heard a woman’s cry and had
gone out into the hall to see what the
matter was.
Then he and the woman had entered
the anteroom together; he had closed
the door; and then • • •
Like a lightning flash, a thought
leaped into my brain—a reason—an
explanation—wild. Improbable, absurd,
but still an explanation!
I choked back the cry which rose
to my lips: I gripped my hands be
hind me, in a desperate attempt to
hold myself in check; and, fascinated
as by a deadly serpent, I stood staring
at the cabinet.
For there, I felt certain, lay the
clue to the mystery!
CHAPTER VII.
ROGER GETS A SHOCK.
Grady, Simmonds and Goldberger
examined the room minutely, for they
seemed to feel that the secret of the
tragedy' lay somewhere within its four
walls; but I watched them only ab
sently, for I had lost Interest in the
procedure. I was perfectly sure that
they would find nothing In any way
bearing upon the mystery. I heard
Grady comment upon the fact that
there was no door oxcept the one open
ing into the ante-room, and saw them
examine the window catches.
"Nobody could raise these windows
without alarming the house,” Grady
said, and pointed to a tiny wire run
ning along the woodwork. "There’s a
burglar alarm."
Simmonds assented, and finally the
trio returned to the ante-room.
"We’d like to look over the rest of
the house," Grady said to Rogers, who
was sitting erect again, looking more
like himself, and the four men went
out into the hall together. I remained
behind with Hughes ani Freyling
huisen. They had lifted the body to the
couch and were making a careful ex
amination of it Heavy at heart, I
sat down near by and watched them.
That Philip Vantlne should have
been killed by enthusiasm for the
hobby which had given him so much
pleasure seemed the very irony of fate,
yet such I believe to be the case. To
be sure, there were various Incidents
which seemed to conflict with such a
theory, and the theory Itself seemed
wild to the point of absurdity; but at
least it was a ray of light In what
had been utter darkness. I turned it
over and over in my mind, trying to fit
into It tho happenings of the day—
I must confess with very poor suc
cess. Freylinghulsen’s voice brought
me out of my reverie.
"The two cases aro precisely alike,”
he was saying. "The symptoms are
identical. And I’m certain wo shall
find paralysis of the heart and spinal
cord in this case, just as I did in the
other. Both men were killed by the
same poison.”
"Can you make a guess as to the
nature of the poison?" Hughes Inquired.
"Some variant of hydrocyanic acid,
I fancy—the odor Indicates that; but
it must bo about 50 times as deadly as
hydrocyanic acid Is."
They wandered away Into a discus
sion of possible variants, so technical
and besprinkled with abstruse words
and formula that I could not follow
them. Freylinghuisen, of course, had
all this sort of thing at his fingers'
ends—postmortems were his everyday
occupation and no doubt he had been
furbishing himself up, since this last
one, in preparation for the Inquest,
where he would naturally wish to
shine. I could see that he enjoyed dis
playing his knowledge before Hughes,
who, although a family practitioner of
high standing, with an Income greater
than FVeylinghulsen’s many times over,
had no such expert knowledge* of toxi
cology as a coroner’s physician would
naturally possess.
The two detectives and the coroner
came back while the discussion was
still in progress and listened in silence
to Freylinghuisan’s statement of the
case. Grady's mahogany face told ab
solutely nothing of what was passing
in his brain, but Simmonds was plain
ly bewildered. It was evident from
his look that nothin* had been found
to shed any light an the mystery and
now that his suicide theory had fallen
to rieees he was completely at sea.
So, 1 suspected, was Grady, lout he was
too self composed te betray It.
The coroner drew the two physicians
aside and talked to them for a few mo
ments in a low tone. Then he turned
to^ Grady.
'T'reyllnghulsen thinks there Is no
necessity for a postmortem,” he said.
'The symptoms are In every way
Identical with those of the other man
who was killed here this afternoon.
There can be no question that both
of them died from the same cause. He
is ready to make his return to that ef
fect.”
"Very well,” assented Grady. “The
body can be turned over ta the rela
tives, then.”
"There aren't any relatives," I said
At least, no near enes. Vantlne was
the last of this branch »f the family.
I happen to know that cur Arm has
been named as his executors in his
will, so, If there Is ■« •ejection. I’ll
take charge of thfasgs.”
“Very well, Mr. Lester,” said Grady
again, and thca he luoked at me. "Do
you know the provisions of the will?**
he asked.
"I do.
"In the light of those provisions, do
you know of any one who would have
an interest In Vantlne's death?”
"I think 1 may tell you the provis
ions,” I said, after a moment. “With
the exception of a few legacies to his
servants, his whole fortune is left to
the Metropolitan Museum of Art.”
"Veu have been Ids attorney for
some time?”
“We have been his legal advisers for
many years.”
’’Have you ever teamed that he had
an enemy?”
I answered Instantly, "so far
as J know, he had not aa enemy oa
earth.”
"He was uever married, I believe?”
No.”
"Was he ever, to your knowledge. In
volved with a womaa?”
"Mtt” I said agate. ”1 was astounded
when I heard Rogers' story.”
“So yeu can give us no hint as to
this woman's identity?”
"I only wish I could,” I said, with
fervor.
"Thank you, Mr. Lester,” and Grady
turned to Simmonds. T dun t soe that
there is anything more we can do
here," he added. "There’s one thing,
though Mr. Lester, I will have to ask
you to do. That is to keep all the serv
ants hero until after tire Inquest. If
you think there is any doubt of your
ability to do that, we can, of course,
put them under arrest—"
"Oh, that isn’t necessary,” I broke in.
T will be responsible for their appear -
anoe at the Inquest.”
"I’ll have to postpone it a day,” said
Goldberger. “I want Frey lingh ulsen to
make some tests tomorrow. Besides,
we've got to identify d'Aurelle and
these gentlemen seem to have their
work cut out for them in Unding this
woman—”
vjruuy iuokcu at cioiaoergor in a way
which indicated that ho thought he was
talking too much, and the coroner
stopped abruptly. A moment later, all
four men left the house.
Dr Hughes lingered for a last word.
"The undertaker had better be called
at once,” he said. "It won't do to de
lay too long.”
I knew what ho meant. Already the
face of the dead man was showing
certain ugly discolorations.
“1 can send him around on my way
home,” he added, and I thanked him
for assuming this unpleasant duty.
As the door closed behind him, I
heard a step on the stair, and turned
to see Godfrey calmly descending.
"I came In a few minutes ago,” he
explained. In answer to my
look, "and have been glancing
around upstairs. Nothing there. How
did our friend Grady get along?"
'Fairly well; but If he guesses any
thing. his face didn't show It.’
"Hls face never shows anything, be
cause there's nothing to show. He has
cultivated that sibylline look until
people think he’s a wonder. But he’s
simply a stunld ignoramus."
"Oh, come, Godfrey," I protested,
‘you’re prejudiced. He went right to
tho nolnt. Do you know Roger’s
story?”
"About the woman? Certainly.
Rogers told It to me before Grady ar
rived.”
“Well,” I commented, “you didn't
lose any time."
“I never do,” he assented blandly.
“And now I’m going to prove to you
that Grady is merely a stupid Ignora
mus. Ho has heard all the evidence,
but does he know who that woman
was?”
“Of course not," I said, and then I
looked at him. “Do you mean that you
do? Then I’m an Ignoramus, too!”
“My dear Lester,” protested Godfrey,
“you are not a detective—that’s not
your business, but It is Grady’s. At
least. It Is supposed to be, and the
safety of this city as a place of resi
dence depends more or less upon the
truth of that assumption. On the
strength of It, he has been made deputy
police commissioner, In charge of the
detective bureau."
“Then you mean that you de knew
who she yas?"
“I’m pretty sure I de—that Is what
I came back to prove. Where's
Rogers ?’’
“Ill ring for him." I said, and did so.
and presently he appeared.

The Royal Prize of Trade.
From the New York World.
Tire trade of tho golden east has been
the dream of Europe since Prester
John, and of American since we have
had a Pacific coast. It has been fought
for, schemed for, begged for. Treaties
have been made for It, missionaries en
listed In quest of It. Dollar diplomacy
pushed to Its most Insolent extremes
to compel it by blackmail. Yet the trade
of the three A. B. C. countries of South
America, which showed their friendli
ness to us in tho Mexican conferences
at Niagara, surpasses, by more than
$500,000,000, that of China and Japan to
gether, with 14 times the population.
Buenos Ayres Is second only to New
York In our continent, and surpasses
in value of commerce any port of Italy,
Austria or Russia. Santos is the peer
of Southampton or New Orleans; Rio
of Philadelphia or St. Petersburg; Mon
tevideo Is not far behind Odessa. And
such accomplishments aro but a splen
did beginning.
To have our own "place In the sun”
in South American commerce two
things are necessary: The first Is that
every business facility shall be extend
ed to It; more Important Is it that the
political attitude of our government
shall express fellowship and under
standing—shall be the attitude not of
the big stick but of the big brother.
