inspector j.ppJeoee, However, had
some difficulty in finding Thornton
Stackhouse.
The fact was that at this moment
he was engaged in an earnest confer*
ence with Detective John Lamm at tho
letter's office.
"I have come to you, Mr. Lamm,"
Mr. Stackhouge had said, as soon as
Mr. Lamm had closed the door of the-1
inner office, "tor the purpose of giv-*
tog you a little information with ref
erence to personal matters, which I
ought, perhaps, to have mentioned to
you before."
Stackhouse looked rather perturbed,
and refrained from meeting the steady
gage of the man whom he addressed.
"I ft-ust," said Lamm, "that it 1b not
'too late now."
''No," rejoined Stackhouse, nervous
ly "no, it is not too late for you for
me it may be."
There was something despondently
apprehensive in the tones of the m«n
as he said these words, but overcom
ing with apparent effort his tenancy,
to despair, he went on at once /in a
tone of forced briskness:
"Mr. Lamm, I intrusted you in the
first place with all that occurred to. me
to have any special bearing upon the
North case, when I engaged you."
The detective's raised eyebrows evi
dently conveyed his surprise at this
statement, for Stackhouse went on im
mediately: "Yes it is not about that,
but about things immediately growing
out of it that I have come to speak
to you now, Mr. Lamm in other words
of my serious domestic troubles. And.
believe me, I could not say to you
what I now do if I did not know
that I am speaking to a trustworthy
man in absolute confidence."
Mr. Lamm made an appreciative iges
ture.
''The tttith is, sir, that I am utterly
nnable to account for the extraordi
nary conduct of my wife. Up to the
day of this murder, sir, since the
time that I married her, Mr.
Lamm, we have been on the best of
terms—the beBt of terms," he repeated,
reflectively, as if half losing himself
la dreamy reminiscence.
"And since?" the detective lnslnu-i
•ted.
Mr. Stackhouse's reply Involved a
aubstantially accurate description of
the scene which had followed his ar
riv*l*at home on the afternoon of the
17tli of June, a statement which it
may naturally be conceived caused the
tective far less astonishment than
i! might have in some circumstances,
But John Lamm was delighted to have
an opportunity to discuss this matter
with his client.
"And how do you account for this?"/
he queried.
"I don't account for it," answered
Btaikhouse. "I cannot account for it.
It is a great and frightful nightmare
the puszle of my whole life. Believe
me, sir, you know absolutely as much
about it as I do."
"Still," suggested Mr. Lamm, "you
might have means of surmising which
I do not possess."
"Ah, Indeed," returned Stackhouse,
"•ad if it were not for that fact I
should not have come here. Yes, in
deed, I do have means of surmising,
Mr. Lamm. My wife, as an explana
tion of her impossible conduct, simply
uttered a name which, I am sorry to
say, I know altogether too well—"
"The name was—?"
"Marie Moissot."
"Ah!" said the detective. "A curi
ous name French?"
"No, curse her," returned Stack
house, vindictively. "She was a
Creole, I tell you, Lamm, and a jeal
ous, dangerous woman. I knew her
years age but certainly had almost
[forgotten her existence until this day,
'when I find her name upon my wife's
'lips."
"Plainly," said the detective, as
Stackhouse hesitated, "what did you
know of this woman?"
Stackhouse averted his eyes and
immed moodily upon the desk with
lis fingers for a considerable space
^without replying.
'Mr. Lamm," he said at last, "the
[Moissot episode in my experience is
line I am not fond of calling to mind,
met the girl when she was about
years old1—where it matters not—
thought I was fond of her-—and waa
night in the snares of her pretty
Face. My acquaintance with her aid
it last long. The vindictive temper
id insane jealousy of the girl, who
raa
more of a woman than most of
ur northern females of twice her age,
arned me that I had made a mis
,ke."
"The parting was not voluntary on
jer part?"
Stackhouse ground hiB teeth his
ps were dry and feverish under the
ible his fists, the detective noticed,
ere clenched.
"Certainly not," said Stackhouse.
'hat would have been impossible."
"Ah!" said the detective. "Unfor
mate."
Unfortunate!" echoed Stackhouse.
id heavens, man, it was madness
•insanity!"
'And—poor policy," added the do
ctive, significantly. "But bygciies
je irretrievable. And so it to this
pman whom you. suspect to have pol
led your wife's mind agaiast you?

::u!
Well, sir, have you told me all that la
necessary for me to know?"
"There is nothing else of the past
that concerns you and me, Mr. Lamm,"
,said Stackhouse, nervously, wiping the
perspiration from his brow, "except
•this. Eight years ago I accidentally
heard that Marie Moissot was living
in New York under another name. A
/few years later an adventuress blazed
into notoriety in the great metropolis
under the name'of Mme. Perle, who
tallied well with the description of this
Marie. That she was the same per
son I am unable definitely to deter
mine. I have Only seen her photo
graph. I did not investigate nearer."
Detective Lamm was becoming huge
ly, interested.
"So, so," he exclaimed. "Well, and
what have you done?"
"Done!" echoed Stackhouse, giving
him a startled look.
"Yes, I mean recently, since tho
trouble with your wife—with reference
to obtaining information concerning
this woman."
"I'll be entirely frank with you,"
said Stackhouse. "I hesitated about
making anybody a confidant in this
purely personal matter. I therefore
inserted an advertisement in Monday
morning's papers, offering to pay for
information of thi» woman. That ad
vertisement was answered, and it
brought me to a house in Shawmut
avenue, where I have excellent rea
sons for believing that this woman
has beea which shows conclusively
that my surmises in regard to he."
having poisoned my wife's mind in
person were correct. But my efforts to
see this Marie have been baffled by
the intervention of a cunning demon
in petticoats whom she deputed to
meet me. I have written to her, but
receiving no reply am obliged to place
the matter in your hands. Mr. Lamm,
do you think you can help me?"
Nothing could conceal the intense
anxiety, the almost hnugry look of
supplication in the junior partner's
face.
"Ah!" said the detective to himself,
"whatever this man's past may have
been, one thing of his present life io
eminently plain. He loves his wife."
"And you, then, don't suspect," he
said, aloud, "this woman of complicity
in the murder of your partner?"
"I suspect her of nothing that is
good and everything that is bad," said
Stackhouse, bitterly. "I know that
this woman hates me with one of those
hatreds that will never forget nor lor
give. Wherever I am so long as she
lives I am in danger. She is revenge
ful, and, more than all, accomplished
and unscrupulous."
"Accomplished?" repeated Lamm,
quickly. "Do you use that word in
tentionally, Mr. Stackhouse?"
"I certainly do," replied Thornton
Stackhouse. "She has all the native
ability of a naturally shrewd and cun
ning woman, who has lost less by the
neglect of her education in letters than
Bhe has gained through her direct con
tact with the world."
"Well, then," said Lamm, drawing a
full breath, "I cannot work in the
dark. I must have the fullest possible
description of Marie Moissot at the
very latest hour known to you."
"Of course," said Stackhouse, quick
ly, "I knew that and came prepared.
I have brought you the photograph I
spoke of. It was obtained for me
seven years ago by a friend of mine
—the photograph of Mme. Perle! All
I can say of it is that if Mme. Perle
be not Marie Moissot, the resemblance
between the two women is strange and
striking indeed."
John Lamm had some difficult:' to
conceal his delight as Thornton Stack
house placed upon the table beforo his
eyes the counterfeit presentment of
the object of Thornton Stackhouse's
fears.
There was no question about it.
Mnje. Perle was Mme. Raymond!
When Thornton Stackhouse reissued
from John Lamm's den the efficient
custodians who kept him constantly
under surveillance had already noti
fied Inspector Apfplebee of his where
abouts. Mr. Stackhouse was therefore
surprised to find a hand laid lightly
upon his shoulder.
"One thing," said the voice of the
inspector in his ear "just one thing,
Mr. Stackhouse. I won't detain you a
moment. Do you know, or have you
ever known, a person calling himself
Albert Runyon?"
Stackhouse staggered and steadied
himself against the building for sup
port. He fairly gasped for breath.
"What's the matter?" said the in
spector, with quick suspicion.
"It is my heart," said Stackhouse,
hurriedly. "A sudden start you gave
me. I have trouble that way. The
life insurance physicians have warned
me."
"Excuse me," apologized the in
spector. "I didn't mean to startle
you. The object of my inquiry you
will finjl by reading this letter, which
seems to have been sent anonymously
to your partner about six weeks ago."
SUckhouse took the letter and read
it, and at the end his agitation had
almost vanished. He gave it back,
coolly, to the officer.
"I am sorry I cannot help you," he
Baid "the man is an utter stranger
to me."
