My hair arose with a cold tingling of my scalp. much as it might have done had i been suddenly confronted by some uncanny object in the dead of night. “And the door at the head of the stairs which leads from here into the kitchen, was that disturbed?” I asked her. as my first sensations faded.

But when it came to that he had little to say, and at first seem- ed disinclined to part with even that. Later on, as we ate, however, he be- came a trifle more communicative. Under the warming influence of to- bacco and coffee he began to make more satisfactory replies to my quiz- zings, but if he had learned any- thing 0f importance he did not betray! it. Since the day upon which he‘had taken an active interest in the case. and I had heard his low whistle at thei mention of Mackay’s name, curiosity; had filled my mind as to what his I‘B'g searches would be in that direction-f I had gone to Mrs. Dace’s with the'; mention of LeDuc’s name that she; might understand why I had repeated- to him conversations which had oc-' curred between herself and myself, that she might not feel that I had tattle-taled our private talks without explaining the reason to her. But though I had paved the way by which he might have had a confidenw tial business chat with her, if he had availed himself of the opportunity, it had not come to my knowledge. That LeDuc might now have full informa- tion of what I had done, and feel at liberty to interview her should he de- sire, I now told him of my talk upon the subject with her; telling him that she had denied absolutely having re- peated my half confidences to any one, and had seemed to be amused at the idea that Janet was anything more than an automaton.

Presently he exp.- died the smoke fiom his mouth, after the manner of a nursery dragon. “I don't know whether i am acting wisely or not. but under your prom- ise to divulge nothing you may learn from me without my consent, I am go- ing to risk it. I know that you be- lieve in your cousin Bruce's honesty.” “Implicitly.” “But do you happen to know that he has somehow or other managed to come into active control of enough money to resume his operations on ’Change on a rather liberal scale?” he queried with a thin smile. I was astonished. and told him so. “Well, he has " he pursued, asser- tively. “Furthermore, he is carrying on his Operations under some name which does not sound at all like his own. You look surprised. That’s the way I felt when I first found this out.” I ruminated. “But certainly he would not be fool enough to openly and notoriously and under our very noses begin the use of money dishon- estly obtained almost the day after the commission of a crime of which he knows he has not absolved himself of?" I cried. LeDuc looked at me queerly. . “That is what almost anyone would think under first impulse. But when you are dealing with criminals you ‘must remember that they do not rea- son and act just as do honest men. When a sane man takes his life and liberty in his hand and commits a desperate crime, he is of necessity more or less regardless of conse- quences, as well as being driven by strong pressure. And in nearly all cases it is because of this reckless- ness that we catch him. He may com- mit the crime 1 tself with a skill and caution that is almost more than hu- man, yet the next day, is apt to go out and do something so foolish that it instantly attracts attention to him. For instance. having had no money before, he now begins to spend it lavishly; or becoming under the in- fluence of liquor, boasts or lets things drop that sound queer. If it were not for these peculiarities of the criminal make-up, and the fact that he gen- erally makes a confidant of some wo- man, who betrays him, the road of the criminal would be comparatively safe and that of the detective an unhappy one.” “But I cannot believe that there is anything crooked about Bruce. De- ceit is foreign to his Whole nature.” My friend Ihx‘ust one hand in his pocket. - “Does he ever smoke cigarettes?” he 'smiled. “Frequently.“ “Any particular brand?” I paused to reflect. “I think so. As I remember, those that l have seen were invariably a Turkish abomina- tion with a serrated gilt band for a mouthpiece. What is your reason for asking me that?” He withdrew his hand from beneath the table and tossed a half-smoked specimen of the species which I had been describing on the table before me. I looked at him inquiringly. ‘ “I found that in the hallway of your house near the closet where your un- cle had been confined.
