WiSDNiii??AY, SEPT. 29. 1897 OfToLCNQUI AUTHOR OF "AN ARTIST IM CRIME ETC [Copyright, 2897, bj G. P. Putnam's Sons.] CHAPTER IEL FOOTPRINTS Di THE SNOW. , The town of Lee, .N. E., though cov? ering a large territory, is so sparsely settled that one might almost ride through it without meeting a half doz? en persons. Indeed, it covers so much ground that the varions sections where there are clustered together any consid? erable number of houses all bear di?fex? it names, asgLee Hill, Lee Hook. Lee or Lee Depot, as it is more commonly known, because of the railroad station, and lastly Wadley 's Fails. ' Wadley's Falls is the southernmost and most populous section of the town. It is in the immediate vicinity of the low falls in the Lamprey river, which rans through the place. This river, though at times so shallow that one ;ht wade across in many places, turns numerous mills in its coursa Both river and falls play an important part in this history. A good road leads from the depot at iee, and with a few easy turns winds it way np hill, passing the farm and homesteads of the Lewises, and on a mile farther, where the river is crossed by a bridge. Beyond one finds the Wad ley's Falls pcstofEce and the saloon. The bridge, being of some interest to ns, must receive a moment's descrip? tion. Today there is a neat iron struc? ture at this point, but at the time of which I write a wooden, ramshackle af . fair did duty fer man and horse. It was sitnated about 50 feet to the south of tho tails, and where the river winds under it many a huge bowlder projects, making the rashing stream the more noisy. Here also to the north is a dam, and over on the east bank stands an old rain, which is still in use as a sawmill. The Lewis farm is bounded on the. ; east by the Lamprey and on the north by. the road, which at this point rans eastward. After crossing the bridge it turns to the sonth, following a some? what parallel course with the river, so that did one choose he could leave the toad on the sonth side of the bridge, and by crossing a narrow strip of land and the river be upon the Lewis farm, which covers over 200 acres. That yon may well understand the deductions which the detectives' reached from the study of the grounds, it will be best for you to follow closely a de? scription of the place with the assist? ance of the accompanying map: A KS y A A-Gates. B-Paved walk. C C C-Piazzas. D-HalL E-Parlor. F-Virginia's room. G -library. H-Lewis* room. I-Dining room. K-Kitchen. L-Boat landing. UL N-Two pasta of Bummer house. O-Window through which a shot was supposed to have been fired. P p P-Chimneys with fireplace openings. E Maple tree. S S S-Closets. The plan of the house, as here given, is out of proportion to surrounding grounds, but is enlarged that it maybe more readily understood. The foot? prints found by the detectives-arc represented hy the dotted lines, and arc numbered as Hr. Barnes numbered them. The arrows show the direction. A beautiful grassy lawn is separated from the road by a neat paling fence, in which there are two gates, one opposite the main entrance to the dwelling and the other opening into the grounds, about a couple of rods to the east (A A). Passing through the first of these a brick path (B) leads the visitor to a piazza (C), titree steps above the ground and extending the full width of the building. Entering, one finds himself in a spacious hall (D), which on the first floor divides the house in the cen? ter, dcors leading into the rooms on either side and into one at the farther end. To the west is the library (G), back of that Lewis' bedroom (H) and beyond, again, the kitchen (K). On the east aide and facing the lawn and river is the parlor (E), wherein the corpse was discovered, then Virginia's apartment (F) and the dining room (I), which is as wide as the parlor and hali. It will be seen by consulting the plan that Virginia's room communicates with parlor, hall and di mug room, which latter has a door leading on to a small piazza, and thus is approached readily from the lawn. PPP represent chim? neys. each serving for two rooms, and O is the window looking toward the summer house (M 1?) alluded to by Burrows and through which he thought the fatal shot had been fired. The various dotted lines represent the different tracks or footprints iu the new fallen snow, but further allusion will be made to these later, as this dia? gram is a facsimile of the one made by Mr. Barnes and used by him in his study cf the case. It will be remembered that just be? fore leaving the parlor Mr. Barnes stood for a moment looking from the win? dow. While there he noticed the piazza ! .with which the dining rocm commun ! cated, and he deemed this a suitafr I way to get ont on the lawn, so whe in the hall he looked for a way to reac the room into which he judged that tl door cn the piazza opened. Seeing tl door at the end cf the hall, he at one entered the dining room and wei thence ont to the porch. Before desce?e ing the steps he stood a moment an looked abont him, Bnrrows at his side At length he said: "Tom, I think wo are in luck, fe here we have a fresh fall of snow, an plainly there have been several peopl about, since I see footprints in every di re?tion." "How can they help us? They ma have been made by the servants, or" "Exactly. They may have been, bu were they? That is the question, th solving of which may throw considera ble light on this mysterious affair, intend to follow, as far as I can, th different tracks before us from'begin I ning to end. That will at least she* me the ground traveled over by thos who have been here, even though it tel but little of the object or personalitie of the visitors.*' "Well, since you say you will trac these footprints from beginning to end I we can commence here, for this seem ? to have been the point of departure fo two people. See." Burrows pointed t the ground before them. Mr. Barne stepped down from the piazza, beim ; careful not to destroy any of the im pressions already in the snow. He ex amined the footprints closely a minuti and then said: "As you say, here an two tracks. Which would vou traci first?" "The smaller," answered Burrows after a little consideration. "Why?" "Mainly because it leads to the sum mer house, which is what we intendee to examine when we started out. Then again, I noticed that these two sets o: footmarks are very different. One is sc large it must be that of a man, anc equally the other is so tiny none but i woman's foot could have made it" "And you would follow the woman'f footsteps first, eh? What did you saj awhile ago about not considering,sex! But shall I tell yon what you are think? ing?" Burrows' looked up inquiringly, and Mr. Barnes proceeded impressively: "Tom, you are making a great mis? take, one which I cannot too much warn you to avoid now and all throug? life. You have already formed youl opinion of this case, and unconsciously perhaps you are ready to fit to your theory any evidence that turns up." Burrows attempted to disclaim any such intention, but Mr. Barnes con? tinued: "I don't blame you exactly. You have youth and ambition as your ex? cuse, and I am sorry to say I have known older and more experienced men drop into the same error. They are so anxious to discover a criminal-a crim? inal; mark the words. " "But, really, you are mistaken. You misjudge me. I" "I am afraid not. I don't wish to stay your zeal either, but in cases like this it is wisest to make haste slowly, as the proverb has it. Now let me show you what you have done in your ;wn mind. First, you find a hole in a pane of glass, and because you can weave enough evidence to show that it is of recent origin you conclude that the fa? tal shot passed in that way. The fact is, all' that evidence proves is that a bullet passed through the glass last night Anything further is merely a matter of circumstantial possibility, or pehaps in this case I might go so far as to say probability. Second, you find a woman who is certainly acting suspi? ciously. I don't say you actually accuse her, but you incline to such a judg? ment Third, these footprints. Having in your theory settled that the shot came from without and deeming it pos? sible that a certain woman committed the crime, you would examine the wo? man's footsteps first and if possible prove thereby that the woman whom you would implicate was in the position to fire through the window. Thus you would strengthen your theory." Burrows seemed confused, as though detected in a mean act In truth, he was to himself considering the chance of discovering the murderer by his own individual efforts, thus, if possible, fore? stalling the man with whom he was working. Ho was therefore not a little astonished afc the accuracy with which his comp inion had read his thoughts. "I am afraid you hit the nail on the head," said he, "and I am ashamed to be forced to confess it But tell me, which of these trails do you decide on tracing first?" "The same as you selected, but for this reason: Notice that here the direc? tion is toward the summer house, as you just now said, while on this side the point of the toe shows that the own? er of the foot returned to her starting point. Unless we find another trail leading from the house we have here proof conclusive that this party has re? mained within dcors." "Howso? I don't see that" " Yet it is simple. Notice that tho steps away from the house are very in? distinct, while those coming toward us are, on the contrary, clear and sharply defined. The woman left this spot while it was yet snowing, so the snow filled up the tracks somewhat Wherever she went, and that we shall find out per? haps by following the trail, she did not start for home, or, to be accurate, she did not reach here till the snow had ceased falling, as the clear marks tcs ?ify." "Mr. Barnes, you are a genius. Why, all we have to do is to find out when the snow ceased to have the time cf this young woman's promenade. " "Why do you say young woman? You are smarter than I if you can tell her age by these," pointing at thc ground. Burrows seemed a little abashed as ho replied: "Surely, since you proved that the j woman is still within the house, who ? else can it be but Miss Lewis?" "Her maid, perhaps, '' said Mr.Barnes, I with some curtness, Of all things, he . "This u-as a place of meeting," said Mr, Barns*.. abjured conclusions wnicn ' were too hastily and therefore illogically drawn. "Come," he continued; "we will fol? low? this trail as far as the summer house." He started, his head bent and his eyes fixed scrutinizingly on the snow. Bur? rows followed in silence, feeling re? buked and just a little resentful. The tracks led in almost a direct line to the summer house, which they discovered to be divided into two parts. It seemed that the unknown person whose move? ments they were' tracing had entered the sou jhern half. "This was a place of meeting," said Mr. Barnes, "for notice that still an? other set of steps leads here, evidently a man's, judging from the size." "Then you think the woman came here to meet some man?" " Yes, aud, furthermore, the man ar? rived first, for his footprints, or at least those leading in, are more obliterated by the falling snow than are hers. Sim? ilarly, arguing from the impressions which they have left for our examina? tion, it is evident that they separated here, for the woman plainly walked off toward the river, whereas the mau re? turned, as he had entered, through tho little gate yonder. " "Mr. Barnes, as there seem tb "oe so many sets of impressions, would it not he well to make a drawing of the grounds and the general direction of the tracks, for convenience as well as reference?'/ "A good suggestion. We will act up? on it at once. But wait here a moment. There is a man geing along the road. I will question him about last night's snow." Mr. Barnes hurried over to the fence, where he found the man await? ing him, having been attracted by a call from Burrows. ' 'Good morning, frierfd. Do you live - about here?" "Yes, jest over the bridga" ' 'Then perhaps you can tell me about what hour it stopped snowing last even? ing. It may seem a trifle to stop you about, but I have a good reason for in? quiring and hope you won't mind my troubling you. " "No trouble 'tall, not the least in the world. Le'me see, I don't know as I kin tell you for sartin, 'cause I went ter bed airly last night. But stop a minute. Come ter think, I kin find out. purty nigh an kin give you some notion myself." "I shall be much indebted, and hope you can fix the time as near as possi? ble." "Well, as I said before, I went ter bed airly-7 o'clock, in fact. 'Twas snowin hard then, an I 'lowed 'twould keep up all night. I slept purty sound, but was waked up by the noise my giris made comin in from a visit ter a neigh? bor's. You know how 'tis when a man's woke up. He's kinder crusty an, more 'an all, can't tell whether he's slept ten hours or ten minutes. So, the girls went by my door, I growled out, 'Ain't you purty late gittin home?' 'No, pop; it's just 9 o'clock, ' come the answer. Seein as how I had a good night's rest before me, I felt a leetle mite pleasanter, an in a' easier tone I said,'I s'pose the* snow's purty deep, aint it?' 'Not very, ' says one on 'em. 'It stopped awhile ago, an the moon's out now. ' That's all was said. But you see that shows it didn't snow after 9, though, ef you want it nearer, mebbe I ken find out from tho girls. " "I should thank you to ask them. Will you please give me your name?' ' "Jef Harrison's my name, an any one'll show you my house cf you care | ter come up an speak ter the girls your- i self." "I am much obliged, Mr. Harrison, and perhans 111 accept your invitation to call." "I'll bc glad ter see you. But, say. there ain't nothin wrong, is there: Nothin speshul, hay?" "No," replied Mr. Barnes, not deem? ing it wise to tell of the death of Mr. Lewis, lest he be kept from his investi? gation by further talk. "You ain't got track of young Marvel yet, is you?" "Not yet" "Well, good day ter you. Hope ter gee you up ter the house by an hy." Jef Harrison walked off slowly, evi- ! dently reluctant to leave. As be passed on he muttered to himself: "Guess he's the detective they told about down ter Lee Depot. Guess he's a cute one. Ain't much of a hand at answerin questions. A doggoned sight better at askin 'em. Wonder why he wants ter know when the snow stopped. Them fellers kin make a mighty sight out of durned lit? tle, that's what I think. " And so he trudged on. still wondering at the pres? ence of the detectives and what it all portended. Mr. Barnes rejoined Burrows, and \ they followed each set of footprints V thoroughly, thc elder choosing his and assigning the others to his companion. Then the two men returned to the par- ? lor, wiiere Mr. Barnes tore off half a ' sheet of paper from some which lay on thc center table, and upon it made a careful drawing. This completed, they i "scussed tho situation. j "Well," began Burrows, "now that i you have finished your map of the move- j ments of the several parties who were j acout TiiesG premises "last night, wnat do you learn from it?"' "Wo found four sets of tracks," said Mr. Barnes, "besides the dog's, which latter may prove of value. Two of these we think were made by women and two by men. For convenience I have numbered them 1, 2, 3 and 4. I will consider number 4 first." "Whynot take them in the regular order?" "That is what ? mean to do. But, whereas I have numbered them in rota? tion as I discovered them, I will trace them in the order in which they were made." "You don't pretend that you can do that?" said Burrows incredulously. "I think so and commence with num? ber 4. This was made by a woman. Unfortunately I can find no distinct con? tinuation of any of the tracks outside the gates, for passing teams have oblit? erated them. We find the first of num? ber 4 at the little gate. The woman went directly to the summer house and into the northern side (M). That she was the earliest on the scene is evident, because the tracks which she made go? ing in are almost entirely destroyed by the snow which fell since. I even got so far as to venture the opinion that this woman suspected a meeting and came to this spot as an eavesdropper." "Now you are going rather fast, are you not?" asked Burrows sarcastically. "I will give you reasons for all my deductions. The summer house faces the west, and the northwesc wf?d last night drifted considerable snow in through the doors; enough, at any rate, to show me that this woman sat quite still in a corner all the time while she was inside, for the mark of her foot shows it. Had she moved about more the snow would have been more trampled. I even think she sat on ene foot, as many women do, for there is but one imprint near the bench where she must have sat, and that is exaggerated cut of all shape, as though in her impatience at the slow flight cf time she had nerv? ously kicked this ono foot about and into the drifted snow." "How much you make cut cf little things," said Burrows admiringly. "She came probably to hear what passed between the man and woman in the next compartment. Certainly she sat as close to the partition as possible. She staid until after they had gone. This she would naturally have done to avoid detection, but I have stronger proof in the fact that near the gate I find an imprint from the foot of the man, and across it is one of the wom? an. The latter is plainer than the first and was consequently made last By plainer I mean that the outline of the sole is easily traced across the larger footprint, which it obliterates where the two cross. There is another thing worth noting. Observe that this woman went almost in a straight line from the gate into the summer house. In depart? ing she came out in a straight line to? ward the house and then turned and went to the gate. Just where this turn occurred she stopped for a moment. " "Why, you seem to discern a great deal. How do you deduce that?" ' 'Very easily and almost certainly. If one walks or runs, the footprints must be single and about equidistant. At the point where I say that she stopped I find two imprints nearly side by side. So she stopped, but whv?" "Canyon also tell that?" "I think that I could make a very shrewd guess. But we will leave her for the present and take up the next set, No. 3, a man's. He evidently had an appointment, for he, too, entered by the small gate and went directly to the summer house. He returned as he came, which strengthens the theory that his sole object in coming was to meet some one at this place. That it was not to meet the woman whose movements I have followed is shown by the fact that his steps pass the compartment M, and go to the other, N. There is another point of great interest-he was attacked b> a deg." "What? You don't mean to say that the footnrints tell vou that?"
