He nodded hia Imad.
"Doctor, I aa gwd to see you ao posi¬ tive. It haa a decMad bearing ou ^e caso tbat haa baea 'thrust before ua "

Cli ble dtifereuce can it make lo Dr. bury, or ahy one else, whatbar that blada paaaed- lato bla heart flva sec¬ onds before or after tbe poleon bad dona its work? He waa a doomed aaan any¬ way."
"Doctor, tha^ la where the value of your testimony comas In—that Is wby I warqod yon to go slow and sure. If be waa alraady dead whaa the blow atruek. It was a caso of suicide—we oould not prove that the wogld-be assassin bad taken that which tha oM Doctor had noi— bis life.
"On the other hand. If you can awear     Jf***'' "P™ '* ** though aome subtle that tho creese was used while Dr. Sea-    anrtb~hail bound aie.
Tbay gave mo saoject ior luriner tkougpt when I could ponder unon the range and potelbilitiea of an invention aneh aa that he mentioned.
"Being without such a little detector T am obliged to depend upon other sourcea for my clews. I examined the vines out¬ side the arlndow and discovered that in tn his dying seconds—the faee belon(;1ng' to the arm that drove the awful weapon home. That la a trinmph reserved for my future. When I perfect It crime mnst go down before the march of iffl- provement."
I waa aatonlahed at his words, places tnay were tem, tbuwlng ttaat soma one climbed up the trellis.
"I alao made up my mind that tbla peraon waa light of build, much more so than either you or I, for those vines would swing looee U3ider our weight.
"Having traced my assassin to tha wladow I look further for evidence.
""On the sill I flnd certain scratches on the paint that soom to toll ol a human foot having scraped acrosj.
"Thus I tollow the trail into the room. Imagine the horror of the old Doctor's aoul when, arouaed from bis alumber by aome aound, perhaps a chuck lo of satis¬ faction from the devil wim stood here, his eyes rested upon the face that had haunted blm sleeping or waking for yeare."

«I Imagine that Dr. Seabury, as aotm aa be couU command himself, seized tha little crystal phial, swallowed iU deadly oontenta, and then as be struck tba electric bell in ttaa wall, reoeived tba Iteel." ^
I conM see It as the old detective spoke —the swarthy vlllaio bending over tha bed, hiis evil face aglow with hate and trioaph.
"It a terrible to think af, air. Mow, If yon bad some Moa of this bloody aaaaa- sln's s>eraonal ' appearance, we might hope to get on his track.'

I saw that I conM really be naafal to the rid detective If I went abont ay work in a qniet way, aad I determined to do everything In ay power to retain tbe respaet of Mr. Ktt:haa.

"Meaning, I   sappooe, that you only hops tbe murderer will be canght." He gave asa a gaenllar look. I had eauae torameaber It afterwards —la fact, befora we left that room.

Mr. Ketobam had been observing ae cloeely. •Well?" '
r nnderatood that he wished for my opinion.
"It seems Impoasible to me, sir, that the origlnai of this picture tbould be tbe terror of Dr. Seabury't life."
"Aad yet you will acknowledge^ Doc¬ tor, that even tbere, io a picture taken oome years ago wliile Seabary waa la India, one can aee remarkable power in that face. Jf that girl made anything a life work, sbe would carry tt out. ¦
"I grant yon tbat, sir. Now. wlll yon kindly toll me what maicos you think this Is the assamla of Dr. Seabury?"
"Readily. First of all, tot me stato plainly tbat this is not a positive bnt a nefCitlve ease. In the aboance nf other clfiwa, I have decided to tost this one fl'.at.
"To begin, tben, I was not long coming to tbe conclusion that the enemy the good Doctor feared was a woman.
"Although he did not stato so plainly blmaelf, I Inferred as mi|ch from bia worda, and one of the eariiest things I did was to oast aronnd to see tf I could make tbis out to be a fact

Somafaow it made me alck to think of thb; bnt mastoring that feeliag, I tamed >re to the old detective. "Mr. Ketobam, where dM you get thia tress of hair?" I asked. "Ouesa, Doctor!"
"From aome projecting nail tbat stole It aa the owner pasaed. ¦ •Try again, Btoctor." "Was  it wrapped   up  wltb thia ple- Iwre?"
'Mo, sir.   Thia hair was laken from the head of the assassin as she bent over the bed yonder." "Abl"
M aae yoo have gueased it now, Doc- tar," with a grim smile.
I ailently pointed to one of the whita handa of Doctor Seabury.
"Yaa, I found timsa stramts of hair r%stoned about the Angers tbat now clutob tha coveriet Sb Inteaaely. They were anatobed from the head of the party who bent over bim, and who, there Is at present every reason to bo¬ lleve, was tbe orlglaal of that photo¬ graph."
J caught at a straw, aa very often a amn who has about given up hope witl. ¦ "But, my dear sir, liaving found that picture among his ^'.p«rs, as I presume yoa did, what tanllble evidence hava you'to connect her with tbe caae? Tbta la a moat brutal crime.   The fact of this
kair resembling hara la color aroald llbally warrant the ansplclon that she is the guilty party."
Ha amiled at ay earnestneaa and I half imagined be believed I waa ta Inve with Ike photograph-
"Hardly, Daetor. To bagbi wHh, I doat think yau have exaalaed that pictnre aa thoroughly aa you might."
I atarted and kmked at it again.
"Ttq-n tt orsr- Upon tbe baok you may dtaoarar anatethlng."

1 cenid not trat admit that the case seemed dark for her, but wby need I care so deeply—tbat picture was aome veara old, and tto original might now have been transformed into an ugly woman by reason of passion-
."By tiie way,-Mr. Ketoham, what fam¬ ily boa tho old Doctor?"
I sraa beginning to wonder whv he bad not aroused some member of his own houeehold wben danger threateaed; also how It was we had not met with or heard a Hving soul.
It was now earlv mornlnc. and-1 conid SCO lhe gioom.of night trinng wAy to the light of day.
"I cannot antwer that question fntly, for on my visits bore I saw no ona save an old woman servant named Ursula, and his aged man of all work, Peter, who aleeps in tbe stable.
"Stay—once I did catch a fleeting gUapae of a ladyfi.atlken gown Justvan- laking throtigh one door of tbe library aa T entered the other, bnt I did apt aea her face." "I believe tiie Doctor waa a bachelor." *Report said so, but we don't kaow how tme it was. The Doctor waa one At a few men la Mew York who could keep tbelr own aecreta. Thta lady, how- aver, qiay have been a patient, or even a distant relative."
¦I hear sounds oot In the atabia Peter la an aad at arork-"
"I will go out and - inform him of the aad event that baa taken place within tbeae walls lasl night» ¦Leaving me here?* "Yon ean stay here, or go down to tbe library-   There is smoke coming from the kitohen chimney, so tbe old woman must be np,  too.   I see   they're  early risers bere." He paaaed ont of thn door. I woa alone with the dead. This In itself was not a very terrible thing, seeing that I was a doctor, and nSed to scenes of dlssolatlon.
ThAponscioasaeaa of tbe fearfnl mya¬ tery iBTOuadlag Dr. Seabury't taking- off aailwed to maice me feel nneomfortable In the preaeace of thht cold form.

I went to tbe window sad looked out The vinos were tom as he had said, ahowing that some one had made nse of them to enter tbe room- )

Leaving   the  room, I   mtiSS'Tiif-Wky,. down ataira, aad flnding tlie aide door passed ont Into tbe garden.
Here tbere were walks and rose bosh¬ es, with maay beds of rare flowers, and a giaa roaservetory near by, connected wttb the library.
E<-ldently tka Doctor or aome one else lo the bdMa had haaa pasaloaatoty fdnd of flowera.
I walked abont a few minutes, and then mado my way to the foot of the vinea that clambered np-tbe side of tha honae.
The yielding soil might toll a story. ' I found footprints.
They aeeaaea to be tboee of a amall aan, but of course that was not poaltlve, for if- tbe assassin were a woman sbe ateht have been In diagoise. Hal what was this? I picked np a peculiar pieee of steel that atQod up Ib the earth, having evi¬ dently fallea from above.
To my unsopblstfeated eyes it was a pnitle, but I bod an' Mea that it waa aome species of burglar's tool.
Undoubtedly Mr. Ketoham conid throw '^aate lleht on this snhlort.
an eagerness t.o oring her to justice as the crlmfnai, I was eager tn flnd a possi¬ ble flaw In tbe indictment of the detect¬ ive.
"I beg yonr pardon, mim; I ama doc¬ tor, Vaucn Burton. I waa aent for on professional bnsinefiB."
There flashed across her face a look of genuine alarm.
"Not for guardy—is ho sick?"
The little dusky bands wbieb I had tieon admiring came' together tn what I took to be a sudden fear.
How could I toll her?
Still, innocent or gnilty, she mnst hear tho news soon—why not now?
"You are Leonore?" I asked-
"Yes; I am Iieonore. What haa hap¬ pened to my uncle, sir?".
"Be aeated, my dear yonng lady. I bave something to tell you tbat may Drove a shock."
She sank into a chair. Her large black, Instrons eyes were flxed npon me. I oould not belp but think of a frightened gazelle.
Could it be possible that this Innocent- hiokfng giri was the female demon tbe assassin hod been pictored by Ketebsmi?
Heaven forbid I
I could not and would not beHeee tt nnlese stronger evidence was pnt for¬ ward.
"Tell me the worst sir."
Her white teeth were pressed lato her lower lip, and I could see tbat ahe waa poaseased of bidden powers for which I had not given her credit
No danger of her fainting away.
"Dr. Seabnry was yonr gnardian, aa 1 understand it?" s
"Yes, yes* why do yon aay waa, air? Has anytbtng happened to htm?"
"I am sorry to say there haa. Yon have met with a beavrlosa. During tbe eight tbe good old Doctor bas paased

"Dead, air."
"Yes; Dr. Seabnry ikdead."
As I expected, sbe did not fall All the color forsook her face, and her eyes seemed blacker than ever by contrast. Her hands were tigbtly cieacbed, until the nails seemed to aiosost pierce the flesh. '
Was thla conntorfeit agoay?

"Then who sent for you. Doctor? Peter?"
"No; he, too, has been In't^iraplet^lg- noraB<.>e of tbe truth. Yon look pnxzled. Perhaps I ran enlighten you a little.
¦Dr. Seabury waa connected wfth tbe olflce of a friend of mine by a telegraphic Instrument. He feared sndden death, and had made arrangemente with this friend to come tbe instant he was sam- moned.
"This Biorning, abont two o'clock, thta frieod of mine mreived the summons. He haatened here at once, let hlmtelf ia with a key the oid Doctor had given him, and fonnd Dr. Seabnry dead, bis hand still grasping the fatal pblal which b* had preaaed to his lips.
"in tlie hope that an antidote might be at soBie nse, and knowing that I was skilled in the use of poisons, this friend took a cab and got me here.
"It wai of no avail; tbe old Doctor had passed to that bourne frpm whence no traveler retOruR. I was waiting here for my friend, who had gone to break tbe sad nawa to Ursula and Petor, whea I was surprised by your entrance." i
"It Is bard for me to believe you, sir. My dear, good guardian dead! Ob, wliat shall I do now I I am alone, alone, with his faithful anu to stand no more between tbe blackness ot the past and ray heart!   Woe la met"
Suddenly she aeaosed'to remember my presence and ceased moaning. When ahe looked at me I could see stera lines near her mouth—lines that aeemed for¬ eign to a woman's fair face, and which tpoke plainly of determination.
She was no ordinary woman. .
No matter what the miaty future had to unfoM tn eoaaeetion with thla eaae, I waa botuid to believe thia faet
Innocent or guilty, Leonore waa a revelation to me.
"You speak of a friend, Dr- Burton. Pardon me, but is he not a dateetive?"
I could not help answotfng in tbe aflSnaatlve.
"A Mr. Ketcham?"
True, MiM Leonore. He haa never aeen you. May I aak how yon knov him?"
"I   have   board   my    poor   guardlaa speak of blm, and I know tbe arrange¬ ment   he   made   with   the  dateetlva Doctor, have you told me all?" {TO BB ooanaoan.]
