CHAPTER XVI
IfR. BARNES DISCOVERS A VALUABLE CLEW.
Immediately alter the wedding Mr.
Mitchel and his bride started west, in
tending to spend their honeymoon in the
Yosemite Talley, haring promised Mrs.
Hemsen and Dora, however, to join
them in the White mountains before the
end of the season. About the 1st of
July the Remsens and the Van Rawl-
etons went to Jefferson, H. H., a small
town along the base of the Pliny range
of mounUins, from which a magnificent
view of the Presidential range, only ten
miles away, is to be obtained. About
the middle of the month Mr. Randolph
determined to visit the same place and
was intensely disgusted on alighting
from the stage, which reaches the
Waumbeok hotel about 8 o’clock at
night, to be greeted familiarly by Mr.
Alphonse Thauret It was evident that
his rival did not intend to lose any
chance to win the hand of DoraRemsen.
If one has anything of the artistic in
his nature, be could scarcely fail to en
joy himself at Jefferson. The town is
pnmtically a single road, well up tbs
side of the mountain range. Thus the
hotels all look out over a long and beau
tiful valley. From the piazza of the
Waumbeok, on a clear day, no less than
85 mountain peaks can be easily count
ed, the Green mountains over in Ver
mont being visible as a distant line of
blue and not in the total
Of course the most conspicuous and
most admired peak is Mount Washing
ton. One who has not visited the region
might suppose that he would soon be
come sated with the sight of the same
mountains day after day. This is a great
error. All the mountains, and especially
Mount Washington, are ever presenting
new aspects. All changes of atmosphere
produce corresponding variations The
shadows of passing clouds, the effects at
sunrise or at sunset, the moonlight, the
partly cloudy weather when the top of
the mountain is bidden, the mists and
the rain, all offer such totally different
coloring and picturesque effects that the
artistic eye is never tired.
Dora was an artist in every fiber of
her being, as one would know who lis
tened to her talking to Mr. Randolph
half an hour after his arrival as they
sat together on the piazza. In his de
light to be with her and to bear her, be
would have forgotten the very existence
of Mr. Thauret were it not that he sat
near them in the rotunda at the end of
the piazza, and so shared the entertain
ment that she offered.
“Whatapity,” she was saying, "that
you did not come up yesterday. You
have missed the grandest sights that
mortal ever beheld. I suppose on your
trip up yon saw nothing beautiful in
the rainstorm that we had this after
noon?”
"Nothing whatever,” said Mr. Ran
dolph. "However it may have been here
among the mountains, the rain did not
make the valleys more attractive. In
deed I thought it simply a beastly day.”
"What a mistake that you were not
here instead of in the horrid cars. Why,
I tell you that I haven’t words with
which to describe the magnificent pic
tures that I have enjoyed. Yet I am
about to try. You must not lose it all
you know. MayItellyouabout.it?”
“Assuredly. I shall be delighted.”
"Well, then, to begin. Look out over
the valley. What do you see?”
"The moonlight shedding a beautiful
ray over the lake. ”
“Exactly, ” said Dora, laughing heart
ily. “That is just the funny mistake I
thought you would make. That is not a
lake at all It la mist, or clouds rather.
In the morning, if I h'ad not told you,
you would have been astonished to find
that your lake is all trees and meadowa
To begin, then. About 4 o’clock it b«-
gau to cloud up. That was very inter
esting. The sun was shining brightly
here, but we could see that it was rain
ing hard over in the direction of Lan
caster. Slowly it began to come toward
ns. Some of the boys made wagers as to
how soon it would rain here. Then one
of the proprietors came out and sur
prised us all by saying that it would
probably rain over on the Presidential
range before it did here. This seemed
extraordinary to us, you know, because
why should it skip right over us and go
,*0 the big mountains?”
I “Well, did it? It does seem impossi
ble.”
“That is exactly what occurred. You
see, it is like this: Whenever a storm
comes from Lancaster way, the clouds
when they get here are divided by the
Pliny range and pass on either side,
leaving u$ dry. Then they strike against
the sides of the Presidential range and
sod buck into our valley. It was a curi
ous sight, I assure you, to see the clouds
dying in exactly opposite directions.”
"Well, knt, after all, there could not
have been any great beauty in the rain.
It must have blotted out all the view. ”
"Yes, but think bow odd it was to
find all these tremendous peaks sudden
ly gone Not a mountain in sight in
any direction. But, then, the thunder.
Oh, that was grand I The way it rolls
about and reverberates gives one a good
idea of a great battle. There was some
thing afterward that carried out this
similarity, too, which I wish I could
dMcribo. It was after the storm had
passed and the bright setting sun shone
forth. Try to see the picture. Imagine
yourself sitting just where I am now,
awl looking toward the Presidential
range, the sun setting red behind us.
Mount Washington had shaken the
clouds from bis head and was encircled
by a gorgeous halo, in the form of a
brilliant double rainbow. One end of it
seemed to come np right out of the val
ley there, while the other disappeared
Inhind Starr King mountain The fly
ing clouds, still black and heavy, whirled
swiftly along, hanging low, and, with
the snn approaching the horizon, made
shifting shadow across the base of
Mount Washington, while between the
rifts the red rays of the snn striking dif
ferent parts made beanteous tinting*

and rock. Oh, it an artist oouia atny
have seen that! Bnt then it wonld have
been useless, for the hand of man oonld
not paint soch grandeur. It was in the
foreground that the resemblance to the
battlefields was to be seen again. Every
here and there stray bita of clouds dis
entangled themselves from the tree tops
and rose np smokelike till one could im
agine them to be from thousands of
campfires.
full”
Oh, it was simply wonder-
"It was indeed,” said Mr. Thauret,
“and your description brings it all back
again to me. ”
“Then the beautiful l<mg twilight,”
Dora continued, almost unheeding, "that
was lovely. Slowly these stray bite of
mist met and joined others, till as the
darkness came and the moon brightened,
that beautiful sheet of water—for after
all your lake U real water—accumulat
ed, and there it ia At least you can en
joy that ”
He did. Bnt what be enjoyed mors
was the simple happiness of being with
her. After a short time, however, he
was deprived of that, for Mrs. Re msec
claimed his attention, and took him up
to the ballroom to introduce him to
some of the many young women who
were dancing with each other and with
boys of 14 for want of better partners.
If Mr. Thauret annoyed Mr. Ran
dolph by being at this resort, the latter
gentleman was none the mere pleased at
his arrival Being left alone with Dora,
and construing her present mood to be
one favorable to his wooing, he deter
mined to speak to her before the other
man might find a chance. Moving his
chair nearer hers, he began, getting to
his subject without much circumlocu
tion. > *
“Mias Dors,” said be, "do yon recall
a conversation that I had with yon one
day? I mean about loneliness and the
longing one has for companionship?’’
“Oh, yes,” said she frankly; “why?
Do yon wish to continue it now?"
"If yon please. Yon remember yon
said yon wonld be better able to do so
after your sister’s marriage. ”
"Because I thought that I would
miss her so much and be lonely myself,
was not that it? Well, of course I have
missed Queen very much, but I have
scarcely been lonely. Yon have taken
care of that, and I *am sure that I am
very grateful to yon. You have been
very nice to me.”
“Yon think so? You admit that?”
He spoke eagerly.
"Why, yes I Why not, since it is
true?"
“Of conns, bnt then yon know so
many yonng ladies hide their feelings.
I mean suppression of all emotion is
considered so necessary in a woman In
these days.”
“Suppression I” and she laughed
heartily. “Now do you think that I
could ever be supprosaod?’*
“No, indeed, and 'certainly I hope
that yon never will be. But if you have
not been lonely, perhaps you have
thought some of that other subject, love,
I mean.”
“Oh I That I”
“Yes. That is one question, supreme
to me, about which I wish to have your
views Do you think yon wonld be hap
pier or unhappier—it yon were mar
ried?"
“That is a question. It would depend
upon—my husband, wonld it not?"
"Suppose that we were”—
"Don’t call names, please. I couldn’t
suppose such a thing. I have promised
not ta ”
"Promised not tu I don’t under
stand?”
"I mean that I have made abet Yon
don’t think 1 am horrid to bet, do yon?
Of course you don’t Well I have made
a curious bet with Bob, Mr. Mitohel,
yon know. I call him Bob now, and I
need to do it sometimes before. That
was when I wanted him to do anything
for me. It made him feel likeooe at the
family. Well, to tell you about my bet
You see, sometimes, when Emily was
out, Bob would play make love to me.
He said it would be good practice for
me; would teach me the ways at the
world and all that sort of thing. Oh,
Bob Is a curious man, but be is greet
sport I Don’t you like him?”
1 "Immensely. Bnt yon have not told
me yet about your bet ”
"I am coming to it Well, one day
when he was making love to me and I
was doing my best, suddenly be burst
out laughing and said, ‘Dora, I'll bet
yon’ll be engaged within six montha of
our marriage.’ ‘How much?’ said I
‘As much as you like,’ said ha. I asked
him if he would make it $1,000, and he
whistled and called me a little gambler.
Bnt I don't think it was gambling be
cause I was to have a certainty. Of
course I wanted the stake to be a large
one. So it was agreed, and he wrote it
down on paper. I’ll show it to yon some
time if yon lika If I am not engaged
before the 1st of January, Bob will have
to pay me $1,000. ”
“And you mean to win that bet?"
"Indeed Ida I am yonng and can
afford to wait that long, I am sura
There will be time enough afterward to
get a husband.”
"Then it would not make any differ
ence how auxiens a suitor might be to
have bis reply at onoe?”
“No, certainly not If a man did not
love me enough to wait a few months
for his answer, I should think myself
well rid of him. Besides it wonld give
me a chance to study him. ”
“Suppose—but, no—I do ask you.
Miss Dora—Dora—I love you madly,
passionately, and"—
“Well, don’t say any mow. If that ia
true and you love me madly, passionate
ly, why, then you will suwly wait till
January for your answer. ’’ This was
said rather curtly, and_Mr. Thauret's
hopes sank, but rose again to fever heat
as she said very softly: "There, I did
pot mean to hurt you. You must not
think me bard. But I must win that
wager. Not so much for the money as
for the gratification of proving to Bob'
that I have some control over myself.

her wager? Nevertheless, aa the week*
went on be tried many times to get a

ed hope to hit heart and waited aa pa
tiently aa man oonld.
Randolph was simply miserable all
the time. Whenever he wee with Dora,
she was good to him, kind to him and
often used tender tones that thrilled his
heart Bnt be, too, failed to get any
thing from her, save the old request that
be should be patient and wait He, too,
waited, bnt not patiently.
Meanwhile, in New York, Mr. Barnes
was still borrowing into everything that
■earned to have any connection direct or
otherwise with the mystery or mysteries
that baffled him. Of one thing he had
satisfied himself beyond all doubt That
was that Mr. Fisher had not been im
plicated in the train robbery. Hie spy
had found that be had been absent from
the city during three days at the time
of the crime, bnt this very fact had been
shown to be his safeguard.
By some skillful work the man dis
covered that during that time he had
■imply been off shooting ducks in a part
of the country where it would have
been impossible for him to be an accom
plice. This simple fact should not have
been herd to discover were it not that
Fisher had kept bis trip a secret This
for some time puzzled the detective, but
finally he followed him ont of the city,
and practically accompanied him on a
similar outing, after which he learned
that his lister was morbidly opposed to
all killing, whether for sport or for a
livelihood. It wee to humor this idea
that her brother mads his excursions in
secret The spy learned from the men
from.whom the dogs were hired that
Mr. Fisher had used them in December.
So that left him ont of the soore, or at
least so it seemed. It was still poarible
that he was implicated in the ruby rob
bery, though, save that he was present,
there seemed nothing against him. Mr.
Barnes did not entirely leave him out
of the account
Thus practically the detective made
no progress, end wee chagrined to bo
oompalled to admit it Finally, how
ever, an idea occurred to him, upon
which the more he dwelt the more fas
cinated he became with it To put it
into practice, however, be felt that he
must await the return of Mr. Mitohel
He thought be would injure his ouuee
by seeking him and so disturbing him
during his pleasure trip.
The Mitchell did not keep their prom-
iae to go to the White mountains, bnt
on the contrary, prolonged their west
ern travel, so that it was November be
fore they were at home again and tem
porarily quartered at the Fifth Avenue.
A few days after, Mr. Barnes sent np
his card, and, aa usual, was cordially
received. v
“Any news of my wife’s ruby?" ask
ed Mr. Mitohel, grasping the detective
warmly by the band.
“No, Mr. Mitohel I am eosry to say
that I am utterly unable to prove any
of my theories about that Bnt I have
come to a set determination, and one
that to yon may seem a peculiar one. I
have oome to ask your aasiitanoe ia the
murder ease. M
"Why, certainly, I will help you.
Did I not tell you so at the very outset?
Have I not alwaye been willing to talk
freely to you?”
"You havA bnt as long as I thought
that yon yourself might have committed
the crime, how could I oome to yon to
ask you to assist me?"
"Then I am to understand that at
present yon do not suspect me?"
"I have oome to that conclusion at
last and with now that I had done so
sooner.”
"Would yon mind telling me why
yon have altered your mind? You have
told me to much that seemed to impli
cate me that I am curious to hear the
other side. ”
“Certainly. I overheard your wager.
Then earns the robbery and than the
murder. Later there was a aeoood jewel
robbery. All of these crimee occurred
within the limit which you set One of
them of course rou oommitted. It seems
more probable that you stole the single
ruby, for in doing that you oommitted a
crime for wh’ch you could not be pun

“Correct kgio? Yea. Of oouree I ad

“Either or both of these robberies era'

determined to unravel if loan. At pres
ent I think the train robber end the
murderer was one and the mme person.
Now, there is cm clew which I have
not been able to follow, bnt which, if
penned, I am certain will lead me
straight to the criminal ”
“And that ie?”
"The button which I found ia the
room. That ia significant It is too great
a coincidence that it should match your
set not to have an explanation that
would abed light upon this case. ’’
“How do yon expect me to assist you
in that direction?"
“As long as I thought you guilty I
believed that you had lied when you
■aid that the seventh button of the set
was the Shakeepeere pin which your
wife had. Tbat a is why I thought it of
importance to recover It; snffloiently so
to send my spy, Lucette, into the bouse
with instruction* to obtain it if pomi-
bla. Now that I believe yon innocent of
the murder, this thought baa recently
oome to me. When I flret told you about

“Yon mean as to making an arrest?”
"That is precisely what I mean. You
need not fear to make the promise. I
will guarantee that your man shall not

“Yon know him?" Mr. Barnes waa
astonished that Mr. Mitohel should
make snob an admission.
"Yes, I know him. That is, I am
morally certain that I know him. I will
tell yon at onoe that having the knowl
edge that I myself was innocent I have
had an advantage over you, and I have
been hunting down this man all these
months. I have good circumstantial evi
dence against him, bnt not enough to
warrant an arrest—at least not yet If

"Will you give me the name of the

"Not That would materially weaken

Wish the case to be completed by Jan. 1.”
“Why eo?”
"It is the day upon which my wager

yon shall be most welcome. ”
"I shall bend every energy to that
end. But now tell me the name of the
Jeweler from whom the buttons wan
procured.”
Mr. Mitohel then wrote down the
name of a Paris firm, also giving their
addreea. Handing the slip of paper to
Mr. Barnes, he took another sheet and
oon tinned writing.
"Why, Mr. Mitohel,” exclaimed Mr.
Barnes, “this is the same firm from
whom your jewek were brought—those,
1 mean, which are similar to the stolen
art. 1 have already communicated with
these people, and they mat ma word
that they knew nothing. ”
“Yes, I know. That waa by my in-
■trootion. ’’ Saying which Mr. Mitchel
smiled, end Mr. Barnes once more dis
covered that he had been fighting
against a man who thought of every
thing. "You see,” oon tinned Mr.
Mnohel, "I knew that yon saw the
name of the jewelers on the bill of sale.
What more probable than that you
should apply there for information?
Now, my object throughout has been
not to defeat justice, hut to have time
enough elapse for me to win my wager.
Therefor* I immediately sent a cable to
these persons, ‘Answer nothing signed

a long cable dispatch, but then I don’t
mind a few dollars. Of oouree my cable

I myself have not been able to get satis

needs a person actually oo the ground
to ferret out this thing. I believe you
are just the men for the oaae. This let
ter will give you their assistance, end
here is a check for $500 for expensea.’’
Mr. Bams* would have refused, but
Mr. Mitohel iagjeted that from that
time on Mr. Barnes should consider
himself regularly employed on the mur
der case, "Though of oouree,’’said Mr.
Mitohel jocularly, "you are still tree to
work out the robberies. ”
The two men ebook hands at parting,
and one would have said that they were
separating after a mutually satisfactory
interview.
