Albert Stoin- worth nud Bernard Vickery, who did not like his fellow lodger and preferred 'tot to bo leftalono with him on tlio lauding, were well known to Coustablo Jlctcalf--but Iho fourth man, for whom tho hall door had juftt- been opened, was elrauger to tho constable, though ho ftiicicd ho had memory of his face. Tho first impression was that thin was a gentleman from Scotland Yard, but a at his carriage and bearing, ho passed into tho hall, convinced ilutealf that ho mis not a wan who had passed through tho force. "Your business, sir?" demanded Young aa tho newcomer stood in tho ball. Cou-stablo Young was a burly man of 6 feet 10 inches in height. His manner was brnsquo nud hectoring, his TOica a deep) rasping bass.

Every hand that did not wield a policeman's staff Was against him. It is most likely ho havo felt kindly disposed toward who wielded tho magical.waud of the musical conductor, and probably ho Would havo gazed nt marshal in full fg with a benignant eye. But "the honor and glory, its unlimited power, its dignity, ita infallibility all iu all to Constable Young. When ho wore his helmet or other headgear, there wns nothing very reinarknblo In tho Euiug, sluivon, fat faco or in tha great round chili. But when Constable Young slowly lifted his holmet or when yon encountered him bareheaded you Ifcro nt once stiirtled by his head.

Tho of his head was that of lui inverted fir cone, tho bald top of the skull tanking tho apes of tho cone nioro startling than if it were clothed with hair. The baso of tho cone--that is to fay, his fhii and tlio lower portions of his skull' --was pnft'ed out with fat and seemed if it might at any moment melt and ton down his enormous chest. Indeed, you felt--if yon were of kindly dispo- litiou--that it would bo ngreat relief fo Constable Young if his flesh would 'thaw and resolve itself into a dew." Tho newcomer gluuced scornfully at Ui challenger. "I wish to see Miss Rdduoy," ho Hid. Constable MetcnU stepped forward.

"Would yon kindly walk this way With mo, sir?" stepping toward tlio door of tho room which lay behind the front parlor--u room used chiefly as a tfningroom "Our inspector is taking kis time of it," addressing himself to Tonng. "Hay bo sure ho baa good reasons for said Young. "Seems lather awkward to have these gentlemen ttisiidiug about," pointing toStoiuworth and "Yeiy'soriy, but wo can't help that jrst now. Our inspector won't be long, I'ui sure, nud he'll settle everything, ii'oyr, air," to the stranger, "will you me?" The tw6 men walked into the dining room. to sea MissSodney.

Bernard Victory was silent. Ho acted more like an automaton than a human being. Ho did just as ho was directed, and teemed ius if ho were walking about in ibream.

After some moments of uwkwaul si- leuco in the back parlor Stoinworth spoke again. "It is a horrible affair altogether. Boems to get won-o tho more you think of it. Poor inoffensive lady, murdered, in cold "What'K that you Pay?" exolaimed Victory, suddenly waking iuto lifo and glaring round tho room. "At least so I urn told by tho constable thero," pointing to Jlctcalf.

It is impassible to Bay yet how tho lady camo by her death," suid Metealf. "It might liuvo been suicide?" suggested Steinworth. 'I can't tell, sir." "Then there is that odd business of my being locked into my room and tlio front parlor window being forced." "Yes," said ConstabloMetealf. "That locking of your door is very puzzling, but I EUIUIOSO there was nu object in it." "No doubt to secure- the person who broke iu from interruption or discovery." "I was locked iu, too, you say?" inquired Mr. Yickcry in an eager tone.

"Yes. same as the other gentleman, "Stcinworth," said tho young man. "Yon are quite sure I was locked in from tho outsido?" asked Vickcry. "Quito sure, sir." "That is very strange certainly. Havo you any idea, constable--I Bup- poso you do not mind mo asking tho question; I know you svillnot tm.swer it if yon don't like--havo yon any idea what- timo of tho night was the horriblo deed dono? Heavensl run cold to think of it." "I haven't ilio least ides, sir.

That will bo for Iho coroner's jury to "I never thought of nu inquest. Of oourso, of course." Mr. Yickcry again ikcd into his dreamlike condition. I was quite upset this morning," said Stcinworth in a jaunty tone, "at finding myself prisoner in my room, but as matters go it would seem ns if it the ono thing I ought to bo truly thankful for. Perhaps tho burglars--if burglary of bit of a houpo like this was their object--meant only to stupefy poor Mrs.

Davoni." "Stupefy Davorul" exclaimed Yickery, starting into life again and trembling "Why I Ho'wissho supposed to have been killed? The thonght of such thing," shrugging his shoulders, "is perfectly horrifying." "She is supioscd to havo been chloroformed," said Steiuworth, addressing his fellow lodger directly for the first time. "Chloroformed!" exclaimed Yickery, with a despairing upward movement of his hands. A- loud rattat nt tho hall door was now heard. "Ah, hero comes Inspector Briggs nt last. I'm not sorry to have the prospect of relief," said Constable Metcalf, eying Mr.

Yickery fixedly. Nor I either," echoed Constable Young. "It's past my breakfast time, Am 1 noc already suspccteu-- lean feel it, know it--of tho crime- that him bcci committed under thin roof?"
