frozen horror, and the crimson stains

I found Sir. Miller In his little
back of the ticket officc, and together I
we returned to the gallery above,
When we had come near enoujrl

I knew that I had seen the face -.OJU,
but could not at the moment remember
where. It was a face of unusual beau
ty, and the form as it lay there in the
rigor ot death was still one of voluptu
ous roundness. Mr. Miller stooped and
picked up something. It was a long
bladed poeketknife, and the blade
stained with red. "When I caught
of it, I stood staring for a monies: .u
stupefied surprise. A name was graven
on the handle. Mr. Miller rend It mul
then looked curiously at me,
"Is this your knife?" he a I ol
"Yes," I snid, for I had recognized
It.
"Well," he said, a trifle sharply, for I
still stood staring at it stupidly, "how
came it hero?"
"I lost it two or three days ago," 1
answered, a little stung by his tone,
and then, with a sudden rush of anger
at his quite natural questlou, I said:
"Do you suspect me of having any
thing to do with this girl's death? Do
you suppose, Mr. Miller, that If I had
had 1 would come running down to
tell you she was lying dead up here?
Do you suppose I would leave that
kulfe of miue iylug beside the body to
accuse mo? In other words, do you
think I'm a fool?"
'No, George," answered my employ
er softly. "But we must get this body
dway. You must help me." Together
wo carried it down to the office, and
the police soon came and took charge
of it. But before that I recalled where
I had seen the woman. It was at a
restaurant, only a few squares dis
tant, whore I sometimes ate my noon
day lunch. The girl was a table wait
ress there. I had occasionally ex
changed a word or two with her. I
had always addressed her most re
spectfully and had noticed that other
frequenters of the restaurant also did.
Indeed she had ever seemed of a kind
to whom ineu are intuitively respect
ful. I remember that she had been
one of the most capable of the wait
resses. There had been a reserve in
her manner, & kind of crushed pride,
that had struck me more than once as
sad, and more than once I had wonder
ed a little why she was filling such a
position.
Her history as it was told the next
day or two iu the papers was simple
enough. Her name was Mary St. Clair,
and she was 22 years old. She had
come of a good family. She had been
an only child, and her parents were
both dead, and alio was without near
relatives. At 20 she had married a
young civil engineer, who a year after
had died, leaving his widow little more
than enough to meet the funeral ex
penses. Thrown upon her own re
sources, she had looked about for work
of some sort. The search had been a
weary one, and at last, when a position
as waitress in a restaurant was of
fered, she was glad of even that. Her
life during the past few months had
been uneventful. Iler beauty and
sweetness of manner had inspired a
number of would be admirers to offer
her their attentions, but she had dis
couraged all advances and done it,
moreover, so graciously that, so far as
was known, she had incurred no eue
mics thereby.
Upon this Wednesday afternoon she
had left the restaurant at 2 o'clock or
a little after, had gone to her lodging
and iu the natural order of things
would have returned to the restaurant
about 5:30. It was on her way back
that she had stepped into the musee.
I did not remember selling lier a tick
et and wondered a little at it, for I
thought I should have uotlced her face
and remembered it if 1 had sold her
one. It transpired, however, that a
patron of the restaurant, a young man
named Chapman, who usually sat at
the table upon which airs. St. Clair
waited, had given her a ticket of ad
mittance to the musee a few days be
fore. He had bought several for a
party to the musee one evening and,
one of the party failing to go, had had
a ticket left over. Probably, having
a little leisure that afternoon, she had
decided to use the ticket and look at
the wax figures for a few minutes. The
visit had proved fatal.
Of course our first supposition had
beeu that it was a case of suicide.
Even after the discovery that it was
my knife that had inflicted the wound
I had a confused belief that she must
have found it and used it to kill her
self with. 1 might have lost it in the
gallery up there near group 13, and
she, finding it, might have been seized
with an insane Impulse to cut her
throat before the Othello, just as Edna
Nethersole and Iletty Kirk had done
before her. So it seemed to me. But
the examining physician at the first
glance said "No." The wounds, or one
of them at least (there were two), could
not have been self lufiicted. Oue wound
was too far back on the neck to have
been dealt by the hand of the owner. It
was a deep and savage cut and must
have been dealt by another. But who
was that other? Upon that question
the mystery lay thickest. Detectives,
both private and official, visited the
musee and plied me with questions.
When had I lost the knife? Where
nad I lost it? Why had I lost it? Who
could have found it? Why had tho
finder used it? And twenty other,
questions, some sensible, but most of
them toolibh, were propounded for me
fo answer. I eould see that I was look
ed upon with some suspicion, in spite
of Mr. Miller's sworn statement that
I had left his presence scarcely three
minutes before I returned with the
news that a woman lay dead In front
of group 13 and that during that brief
interval I could not possibly have com
mitted the crime.
It was Mr. Miller's opinion that the
woman must have been dead at Teael
IT) minutes when he rcached her Bide.*
So, in spite of the vague suspicions of
the detectives, I was left at liberty to
go and come as I pleased. I am sure
that at least two detectives believed
me to be accessory to the crime if not
the principal, and this in spite of the
fact that no possible.mptlje.for.nuLde*

siring the girl's death nan so much as
suggested. But, ns regarded mo
there seemed to lie the deepest
tcry. So far ns was known, the
__ mu had no enemies, so sweet and
lovable had she been, and motives for
her murder were absolutely lacking.
TVit murder had been committed un
it lonably, and, since there was no
itlon about that, there now grew
ie suspicions and then convictions
that neither Edna Nethersole nor Hetty
•k had committed suicide, but that
had been murdered. It was re
.. rked that that curious expression of
.v..r and horror which has been men
tioned was Identical on the face ot

left upon the face of a suicide, It was
A small figure disappeared among the
shadows.
said. This conviction only deepened
the mystery surrounding the deaths of
the three women. If all three had been
murdered, the crime In each case hud
been committed upon exactly the same
spot and at almost the same minute of
the day, circumstances that seemed to
lead Inevitably to the conclusion that
the crimes had been committed by the
same hand. But whose was the hand?
And what could be the motive? Both
questions seemed equally unanswer
able. The morning after the murder I
found Murphy and Cajsar up by group
13. Cn'sar was looking with much In
terest at the spot where Tim had told
him the body of Mrs. St. Clair had been
found. Murphy was flicking the dust
from the faces and forms of the images
with a long handled, long plumed
feather duster. lie seemed to have
forgiven and forgotten Ciesar's un
kindness of the day before and was
telling him glibly enough about the
grewsome flml.
As I approached them Cicsnr said
(there was hardly a suggestion of the
negro dialect In tho African's tone),
"Mr. Park, about every time I go away
It seems as If something happens
here."
"Thiu yo'd better stliay at home,"
said Tiiu, suddenly remembering, I
presume, the trick Cossar had played
him. The negro made no reply to that,
but asked mo some questions about the
affair of tho day before.
"What did ye move the Othello fur?"
came in au Irritable tone from the
Irishman. lie was dusting the face of
the Moor and had discovered that the
Image was uot Iu quite Its usual por
tion. The face was usually turned to
ward Desdemoua, but was now turned
more toward the spectator.
"Looks better that way," was the
African's calm reply.
It was true, It did show to rather
better advantage to the spectator, but
It did not seem quite ns lit as the for
mer position, nud 1 advised Tim to
move It back, which he did.
Ciesar went Into another room short
ly after, and when Tim and 1 were left
aloue I said:
"Murphy, what were you doing. In
this room yesterday afternoon? I saw
you go out just before I came In and
found the body."
Tim looked at me a moment without
speaking, and I thought his tanned
face whitened a little. "Sure, Muster
Park, I warn't doln nothln in here," he
said. He shuffled uneasily from oue
foot to tho other while I eyed him.
"You don't deny that you were in
here, do you?"
Tim was sileut. He didn't deny it.
"You must have seen the body lying
here. Why didn't you hurry to tell
some oue nt once, Instead of sneaking
off the way you did. for all the world
us if you were a murderer yourself?"
The questlou loosened Tim's tongue.
"Muster Park, ye're roight. 01 did
see tho tiling :i-loyin beer, but 01 warn't
goin to be arfter a-sayiii lunythln^' to
innybody arboot it. 01 siz to mesllf,

Unique aa was the excuse. I knew
out of my Luj.. li'Uje of Tim that
was one tt wuuid have force with
him. Moreover, iu spite of Tim's sus
picious behavior 1 eould not bring my
self to beliuve that he waa really mix
ed up in tlie murder. The absence of
n:iy apparent luotlvo, his smalluess of
stature auJ general lack of courage,
added to the perfectly Innocent man
ner In which lie had announced his dis
covery of tin: two bodies previously
found, led m* to believe him quits in
nocent. 1 determined not to mention
to any one that I had seen Tim com
ing from the room, notwithstanding It
might Implicate me as an accessory
after the fact. But I did say to Tin?
before I turned away, "Well, Murphy,
unless the matter Is cleared up, it will
look rather bad for you."
With which Tim, who was uot lack
ing In some native acumen, answer
ed, "Yis, Muster Park, it will that, an
it's mesilf that'll do what 01 can to
clear it up."
That he was capable of doing much
toward clearing up the mystery I
greatly doubted, which only shows,
as after events proved, that I didn't
know my Tim.
Several weeks passed, and the mys
tery of the triple murders remaiued
unsolved. The detectives ran down
one vague clew after another, only to
find that each vanished in the mists
Of mere conjecture. One young dc-

tectlve thought tne murderer might
be some half demented fellow, a sort
of "Jack the Iilpper," who lurked
among the shadows behind the Images,
awaiting a chance to spring upon his
unwary victim. This would explain
the singular look of horror that had
been on the face of each victim. The
detective was forced to ndmit that It
must have been an exceedingly euu
nlng fellow who could thus have slip
ped in and out unobserved on three
different occasions mid boldly stated
that the criminal was probably some
person who had come and gone as un
concernedly as any other visitor, with
out attempting to conceal himself.
The theory perhaps was uot bad,
but when asked to put Ills hand on tho
criminal the detective was at a loss.
'The only way to do it Is to watch for
him," ho Bald, and a watch was again
set in the room with group 13 and kept
there all through the hours when the
musee was open to visitors. Visitors,
however, were noticeably Tower now,
and those that did come seemed to
shun the room occupied by group 13.
One niorulug a few weeks after tlie
last murder I happened to want a step
ladder with which to reach some pa
pers on a high shelf in Mr. Miller's of
fice. I asked Tim to bring the ladder.
He returned a few minutes later with
out it.

•FLAVOR IN FOODS.
This Quality In na Much M'cesnlty
ns 1M Xntrimeiit.
Chemists tell us tlmt chcese is one of
the most nutritious and nt the same
time one of the cheapest of foods. Its
nutritive value is greater than meat,
while its cost is much less. But this
chemical aspect of the matter does not
express the real value of the cheese as
a food. Cheese Is eaten not because of
its nutritive value as expressed by the
amount of proteids, fats and carbohy
drates that it contains, but always be
cause of its flavor.
Now, physiologists do not find "that
flavor has any fowl value. They teach
over and over again that our foodstufts
are proteids,
fats and carbohydrates and
that ns food flavor plays absolutely no
part. But at the same time they tell us
that the body would be unable to live
upon these foodstuffs were it not for
the flavors. If oue were compelled to
eat pure food without flavors, llkcTthe
white of an egg, It is doubtful whether
one could for a week at a time consume
a sufficiency of food to supply his bod
ily needs. Flavor is as necessary as nu
triment. It gives a zest to the food and
thus enables us to consume It properly,
and, secondly, It stimulates tlie glands
to secrete, so that the foods may be
satisfactorily digested and assimilated.
The whole art of cooking, the great
development of flavoring products, the
high prices paid for special foods like
lobsters and oysters—these and numer
ous other factors connected with food
supply and production are based solely
upon this demand for flavor. Flavor Is
a necessity, but It Is not particularly
important what the -flavor may be. This
is shown by the fact that different peo
ples have such different tastes in this
respect. The garlic of the Italian and
the red pepper of the Mexican serve
the same purpose as the vanilla which
we put In our ice cream, and all play
the part of giving a relish to the food
and stimulating the digestive organs to
proper activity.—Professor H. W. Corn
In Popular Science Monthly.
The IlamminR Btrd'a Flight.
The flight of the little humming bird*
is more remarkable than that of the
eagle. We can understand the flapping
of the eagle's immense wing supporting
a comparatively light body. But our
little bird has a plump body. His wings
are not wide, but long, so he must
move them rapidly to sustain his
weight, and this he can do to perfec
tion. The vibrations of his wings are
so rapid as to make theui almost invisi
ble. He can Use them to sustain him
self in midair, with his body as motion
less as if perched on a twig. In this
way he can sip the nectar of the deli
cate, fine stemmed flowers without
alighting for a moment, no never
alights while so engaged. He moves
from flower to flower with a graceful
and rapid movement, sometimes chas
ing away a bee or humming bird moth,
of which he is very jealous. Nor Is he
much more favorably impressed with
any small birds that seem in his way.
lie knows his power of flight, and he
has no fear of any other bird.—Henry
Hales in St Nicholas.
Lemara POP the Zoo.
The national zoo has just received
through an animal dealer in Philadel
phia a magnificent pair of the large
black and white lemurs Indigenous to
the island of Madagascar. This makes
the fourth pair of these animals
brought to this country, and, in addi
tion to being highly attractive by rea
son of their coat of long jet black and
snow white hair and their abnormally
large and luminous eyes, they are of
very great interest from the viewpoint
of science and evolution.
The lemur stands in the same rela
tion to apes and monkeys as they In
turn stand to the humau race, only in
the case of the lemurs and apes the

In the Comptes Rcndus of the Paris
Academy of Sciences M. Ivoenlgs has
printed a sketch of a general theory of
mechanisms. Every machine consists
of a number of material bodies, re
sistances, joined together reciprocally,
upon which natural forces act to pro
duce a desired effect, and the effect
may be either a state of rest or one of
motion. The resisting bodies and thftlr
connections are the mechanism. Its ef
fect is not "known until we define tho
acting forces. The same machine will
produce different effects according as
different forces play upon It.
