“Miss Romscu, 1 have seen your por
trait, ami it struck use that that biiUon
is a copy of it. What do yon think': 1 ”
The yirl once more became confused
and stainiuercd, “I don’t know.”
Then suddenly, ar.d with complete
composure again, she said: “Yes; I
think you are right. This is a copy
from my picture. The portrait was
made last summer, and afterward I al
lowed the artist to exhibit it. I think
photographs were made from it, and
possibly some cameo cutter has used it
for his work. ”
This was ingenious, but not satisfac
tory to Mr. Barnes, for he knew’ that it
was far from probable that am tin r gem
cutter should have used the picture and
then have called it Juliet. Besides, it
would have boon too great acuineid i. o
to make a button of it. He decidul,
therefore, that the girl was doing the
best she could to invent a plausible ex
planation to a question which Mr.
Mechel himself had simply ivfust d to
answer. Not wishing to arouse any: u.s-
picion in her mind that ho doubted her
Word, ho replied quickly:
“That is very likely, and surely he
could not havo chosen a Letter face for
his subject. ”
“Mr. Barnes,” said Emily, “you of
fered just now to give me tins, thinking
that I had lost it. Uf course I : konM
not accept a present from one Y*h in 1 as
havo had the pleasure of knowing i'l.r so t cm
short a time, but you are Mr. Milchei’.i sain;
friend, and as I would really prefer not “1 th';
to have my portrait in the hands of j that Jv i
strangers I accept your gift with 1 himsei;'. ’
thanks. ”
This was entirely unexpected. When
Mr. Barnes had made the remark that
ho would be glad to restore In r her ow n,
ho had done so feeling safe, because to
obtain it she would need to admit that
she had lost it. Now it seemed that she
had deprived him of his piece of evi
dence. Ho did not know w hat to say
when Mr. Mitehel walked across to them
and remarked pleasantly:
“Well, Emily, do you find my friend j els, but for
Mr. Barnes entertaining?”
“Mr. Barnes has been most agreoabk:,
Roy, and, see, ho has ac tually given mo
a present,” saying which she handed the
button to Mr. Mitehel, across who. .'
countenance Mr. Barnes thought ho saw
u fleeting smile of triumph pa a.

“Exactly. Mr. Barnes, allow me to
add my thanks to those of Miss Re . i.
You can readily appreciate why v. o pre
fer to havo this baublo in our ow n ijos-
sossion?”
Mr. Barnes thought that ho could. Ho
saw’ that ho was fairly caught, and that 1 the
ho could do nothing without, mu;: - g a ‘
scene. Ho met a glance from Mr. J>: i eii- ,
cl which wo knew was meant to re
mind him of his promise not to annoy
Miss Remscu. Ho laid about decided
that ho had been a fool to make such a
promise and to havo visited the place at
all when ho suddenly changed his mind
as a servant announced:
“Mr. Alphonse Thauret. ”
Immediately the detective remember
ed the name. It was upon the card give n
to him by the Frenchman who had li f;
the train at Stamford. He was watching
Mr. Mitehel when the newcomer was
thus unexpectedly announced, and he
thought ho detected a glance of disph a -
me. Were these two men acquainted,
accomplices perhaps?
“Mr. Mitehel, let mo present Mr.
Thauret,” said Dora.
“I havo had the pleasure of meeting
the gentleman before,” replied Mr.
Mitehel, and with a stiff bow lie crossed
to tho side of Emily as though to pre
vent an introduction to her. This of
courso was impossible, and Mr. Milch"!
was plainly annoyed. Emily stepped
forward, extended her hand tq .Air.
Thauret, and then, turning, presented
him to Mr. Barnes, who had arisen, and
who simply bowed.
“Ahl Mr. Barnes,” said tho French
man, “I am delighted to meet you
again. ”
“Why, doyou know Mr. Barnes also?”
cried Dora, greatly surprised.
“Who does not know Air. Barnes, the
celebrated detective?” Ho said this in
that extremely polite ton i so much as
sumed by liis race when inclined to be
most complimentary. Yet Mr. Barnes
thought that he had some sinister mo
tive in thus proclaiming his connection
with the police. Was it to prevent him
from calling upon theso women again?
If so, lie failed to make the desired im
pression upon Dora, for that young
woman seemed fairly enraptured. '
“A detective?” said she. “Aroyou
really tho great Mr. Barnes?”
“I am a detective, but scarcely a
great one. ”
“Oh, but you are, you are! I read all
about the wonderful way in which you
caught that man Belt ingill. And now
tell me, are you going to catch the man
who robbed the woman on tho Boston
train yesterday?”
“How do you know that it is a
man?” asked Air. Barms, amused at
her impetuosity and jdea ed at the turn
taken by the conversation.
“I ., it is not a woman! 1 am sure
of that. I read about U in the papns
this morning. I bought three, so a n t
to miss anything. No woman wmild
have been clever enough to plan it all;

A . mi! on Mr. Mitchcl’s face proved
tlud lie v. s J ti lling, and tin., he was
p!-'a. d at the detective’s cleverness.
The J r •i:el;:...tn shrug .ed Ids shoulders
and . aid, l.uighing:
“'I’hei'", you sec, L should never make
a thief. I. ;ider’, them was tho satchel.
I !iad I ir;, I'.'en about that. One could
not hide a sutehel in a eal.n of soap. ”

“You are shrewd, Air. Barnes,” said
Air. 'lii .in t, af ter a ket u serutiny,

uie i in s. “But,’’hoeontiuued, “will

),. "i. lie I, I deeitled lli.lt it Wa.l time
loi Jnm toi nler the game, for lio cromicd
and joined tho group, saying as ho diu
so:
“Are you all discussing tho train rob
bery?”
“Oh, yes!” said Dora. “And it is
just lovely, tho way Air. Barnes has
found out all about it!”
“Found out all about it? Has ho in
deed?”
“Yes! Ho knows who tho thief is,
and that ho hid tho jewels off the train. ”
“How very clever of you, Air. Barnes,
to discover that. Where else conld ho
have hidden them, since tho train itself
and everybody on it was searched?”
It irritated Mr. Barnes tho way in
w hich Air. Aiitchcl always seemed to be
little his skill. Ho was a triflo angry
therefore as ho mado his next bold
stroke.
“I will tell you, ladies and gentle
men, w here tho thief might have hidden
tlio jewels, un the train—a place which
no one thought of searching, net even
myself. ”
“Oh, tell us!” exclaimed Dora. The
two men looked interested, nothing
more. Emily had come behind Air.
Mitehel and slyly slipped her hand with
in his.
“Tho woman carried tho jewels in a
satchel. Suppose the thief had stolen the
tateliel and thrown it from tho window.
Miss in;; that, tho woman would havo
naturally concluded that the jewels wera
gone, would ahe net? Very well. The
thief Might havo hidden the jewels in
her own pocket whslo she slept. ” Mr.
Barnes had hoped much from this prop
osition, but it was a distinct failure.
Kith v that was not the thief's method
or else Air. Mitehel and Air. Thauret
wore both innocent. Both smiled incred
ulously. Tho former spoke:
“That is too farfetched, Air. Barnes.
I low do yen suppose that ho would ro-
gaiti pome.'- ion of tho gems:”
“By murdering the woman,” answer
ed Die detective. Again ho failed, for
neither of tho men winced. Air. Barnes
was foiled for the moment, but not en
tirnly discouraged. Tho start which both
men had made when lie suggested that
tiic stolen properly had been hidden off
the train still remained to bo explained.
“Come, come, Air. Barnes,” said Mr.
Aiitchcl, patting his shoulder familiar
ly. “Don’t let this case upset you so.
When yon go so far for a theory, you do
noi show the skill whieli you displayed
in tracking Pettingill. Why, even I can
got you a better one than that. ”
“You must not think me quite a fool,
Air. Aiitchcl. If my theory seems pre
posterous, it dees net follow that it is
the only one at my command. Wo de
tectives must look at theso cases from
all lights. I will wager that I can tel!
you what your theory is?”
“Mood! I am glad New York lias
such a clover man to defend her. I ac
cept ymir wag: r. Here, I will write my
idea, on a bit of paper. If you guess it,
I owe you an invitation to a good din
ner. ” Mr. Aiitchcl wrote a few’ lines on
the 1 /.cl: of an envelope and handed it
to Dora.
“You think,” said Mr. Barnes, “that
the thief might have simply handed tho
satchel and jewelry to a confederate at
a . tation decided upon in advance.”
“Bravo, Mr. Barnes!” said Dora.
“You are a great detective. You havo
won your wager Tint is what is writ-
tin here.”
“I owe you a dinner, Air. Barnes, and
it shall bo a good one,” remarked Mr.
Mitehel.
“Would Air. Barnes like to win au-
otlifn?” asked tho Frenchman, with
slow distinctness.
“Iw; uld,’’said the detective sharply.
“Then 1 will wager with you that :f
you ever clear up tho mystery you will
be oblig 'd to admit that none of tho
theories advanced is the correct one.”
“1 cannot accept that bet,” said Mr.
Barms slowly, “beeauso I am sure that
we have net mentioned tho truo method
adopte d. ”
“All, you havo another theory,” Mr.
Thauret almost sneered.
“I have, and it ia tho correct me,”
r-toried Air. Barnes, “but I prefer not
to disclose it. ”
“I tliink yon arc quite right, Mr.
Barms,” said Emily. “In fact, know
ing > on by reputation as u man of great
shrewdness, I have not thought that you
w i ru tolling us your true ideas. It would
havo been foolish to do so. ”
“iVrhaps, though sometimes what
seems foolish may tie wise.”
“Ouito true. And now, gentlemen, I
rogn t lliu necessity of dismissing you,
but I have a ball on hand for tonight
and must beg yon to excuse us that wo
may pn pare for it. You know in tho
fashionable world wo train for a ball as
athletes do for their sports. You will
forgive my sending you away.”
This was her way, and men never re
sented it. They simply obeyed. Mr.
Barms was delighted that both the oth
er men would leavo with him. lib had
prepared tv trap for Mr. Aiitchcl, but
now lie would entice two birds into it.
CHAPTER VI.
>m. IIAUNKS* TRAP.
It must not be supposed from what
has been related that Air. Barnes had
lost any of his old time skill. That ho
did not yet quite understand tho case
upon which he was working is little to
bn wondered at when it is remembered
that less than two days had elapsed since
tho robbery had occurred, and that a
great part of this time ho had necessarily
been absent from tho city upon another
case.
After his disappointment at discover
ing that the button which he had found
was less valuable than he had at tlrst
supposed, ho had decided upon a mode
of procedure from which lie hoped to
gain much. He had seen many men
Hindi when brought unexpectedly into
tho presence of their murdered victim.
He knew that many in a lit of passion,
or even in cold blood, might have tho
! nerve to take human life. Few resisted
a shudder when shown the ghastly, mu
tilated, perhaps decomposing corpse.
| When Im left the hotel that morning,
it was about 10 o'clock. While he hud
been convinced by Air. Mitehel that the
button found M the scene of tho murder
\wi. not one of the original set, or rath
ti tiiat it could nut be moved that it
had been, ho was equally satisfied that
tho fact that it presented a portrait of
Aliss Rcmscn was significant. Thus,
niter all, it was possible that Mr. Aliteh-
el had murdered the woman, or at
least he had .visited tho apartment. In
! either case, .supposing that ho knew tho
woman was dead, it would bo idle to
! take him up three flights of stairs to
confront him with tho body, for that
would give him ample premouitiou of
M’hat was about to occur, and he would
readily control his countenance. This is
what tho detective did:
Ho went at once to tho coroner and
: told him enough to havo him render his
assistance. Therefore during the timo
; which had elapsed the coroner had im*
i paneled a jury, taken them to the scene
| of the crin;') and then adjourned tho i»-
! quest, leaving the doctors to perform
1 the autopsy. The body had been taken
] down to a room on the first floor which
i opened directly on tho main hall. Hero
i it was laid out upon a table, so placed
! that the gaping wound and now hideous
faco would at ouco meet the gaze of any
i ono entering. Tho doctors had been iu-
j structed to postpone their work until the
J arrival of the detective. Thus Mr.
’ Barnes knew, as he led tho way down
| stairs, that his trap was set. As they
reached the main hall he spoke:
“Gentlemen, I am about to ask a
| favor of you. You were both on the
train when the rot bery was committed,
i There is a question in relation to it
which I should like to ask both of you
j and hear each answer separately. Would
. you oblige mo?”
j “With pleasure,” said the Fronch-
I man.
“I havo already told you that you
! may ask me anv questions,” said Mr.
1 Mitehel.
I “Thank yon 1” Turning to the hall-
j boy, who, of tor.rse, had been taught
his part, he continued, “Can wo find a
j room where wo can talk privately for a
few minutes?”
“Yes, sir; step this way,” and the
i boy led them toward the ono whero the
corpse lay.
“Air. Aiitchcl,” said Air. Barnes,
“will you wait a few minutes? I will
not detain you long.” Air Mitehel bow
ed, and tho Frenchman followed the de
tective into the room, tho hoy closing
the door after him. Nothing was to ko
seen save the table bearing tho body, tho
doctors being hidden in a room beyond.
Air. Barnes stopped nesir tho corpse and
simply gazed steadfastly at Air. Thauret,
who in turn looked intently nt the mur
dered woman. Not a muscle moved to
show any agitation. Air. Barnes waited,
bat apparently nothing was to happen.
Yet ho was determined that tho other
should speak first that ho might draw
some deduction from his words. There
fore he maintained a stolid silence. Two
minutes passed, which seemed tin age,
and then the Frenchman gave the do-
tective a gcnnuie surprise. Looking him
straight in the eyes ho said in the coolest
tones imaginable:
“How did you discover that I am a
physician:”
“I don’t understand you,” said Air.
Barnes, not knowing what tho man was
aiming at.
“Air. Barn vp you brought mo into
this room saying that you wished to ask
me a question. When I entered and saw
tills corpse, I knew at once that your
pretended questioning was but a subter
fuge. I wondered wiry you brought me
in here, and while thinking it cut I
kept silent. Do have you. Very good.
All I can maim of it is that, this woman
having been murdered and knowing that
I am a physician, jou wished an ex
pert opinion in tho ease. I wondered
how you had discovered that I havo a
medical e location, and so I asked you
the qm s',ion. Ho 1 mako myself plain?”
“Ouito so,” said Ibe detectivo coldly
and much disappoiiitod. “Aly reply
must be tiiai I did not know you to bo a
physician, and that I did bring you in
hero to ask a question. ”
“Indeed! Then what is it?”
“I wish you to tell mo who this wom
an is.”
“You overrate my ability. I never
paw the woman before. Is there any
thing m ro you wish to Eay?”
“Nothing. ”
“Then I will wish you good morn
ing. ” With a polito bow and drawing
on his glove, Air. Thauret started to
leave the loom. Mr. Barnes quickly
stepped in front of him, determined
that ho should not have a chance to
warn Air. Aiitchcl. Opening tho door,
ho then let him pass, thus keeping his
eyes on the two others. Air. Thauret
bowed formally to. Air. Mitehel and
passed out. Then the latter followed
Air. Barnes into tho presence of the dead
woman. If Mr. Thauret was undis
turbed at the sight which met him, it
was not so with Air. Aiitchcl. Ho had
scarcely observed what was before him
than, with an ejaculation of horror, ho
stepped closer to the corpse and ex
claimed:
“Aly God, Mr. Barnes, what does
this mean?”
“What does what mean?” said Air.
Barnes quietly.
The two men stared nt ono another a
few moments, when Air. Mitehel, sud
denly lowering his eyes, said, "I’m a
fool!” and once more tnnied to look at
tho corpse. Presently ho turned and
said, with all of his old time composure:
“Yon said you wished to ask mo a
question. What is it?”
“I wish you to toll mo who this
woman is. ”
"Was, 1 suppose you mean. Bhu was
Rose Mitehel. ”
“Ah 1 Did you know her?”
“I agreed to answer hut one question.
I havo done so. ”
“You havo admitted that you knew
her?"
“You will find it difficult to prove
that.”
“Oil, shall I? I havo witnesses. Gen
tlemen, please come forward. ” Adoorat
the farther end of the room ojieuod and
two phyi'iciims entered. The detective
continued, “What have you to say now?”
“That 1 am most profoundly indebt
ed to you for having enabled me to
prove wlmtihuH hupiicnud, and also that
you have t.o soon lei me know that we
me uui alun#. ” Air. Baines bit his lip at
this taunt, and Air. Mitehel, turning to
the doctors, continued: “Gentlemen, I
am delighted to know that yon have
overboard what has occurred. You may
be called upon to give testimony. If you
will remember, I tliink that you will
admit that Air. Baines asked nto who
this woir./.n is. Correcting his grammar,
I replied, ‘like was R:so Mitehel.’ Am
I accurate?”
