"That couidouly to his out or j
garments, for of course the watchman
could not observe whether he had
changed his uuderwear. The blood
stains were on the wristband of his
? shirt and on the sleeve of the right
arm."
"Did you call his attention to this?"
"I did. For an Instant lie seemed disconcerted,
but quickly recovered himself.
Then he claimed the staius got
on his shirt when he examined his father's
body and was feeling his breast
to see whether life was extinct."
"Ho Is a clever young man, Mr.
Barnes."

that you would not alter your opinion.

It happened that blood was upon the
wristband while none showed upon his
cuffs?"
"Of course?a good point lie might
have changed his cuffs when be changed
his other clothing. That was your
Idea, was It not? IIow did he answer?"
"He said ho had been away from

"Away from home all night?"
"So he claimed, and that, returning
about 5 in the morning, he had first

tracted his attention thither, as It was
the old man's habit to sleep In darkness.
Thus lie had no cufTs on when
he exnnilned the body, but put them on
attain before going out to the police
station."
"Ho Is shrewd, Mr. Barnes, very
shrewd. This Is n point of which I
have often thought. The proseeutiop
soys, 'Prisoner, there Is blood upon
your garments.' Prisoner foolishly replies,
That Is uot blood, but rust. or. If
blood, It Is chicken blood.' Then the
expert stalks In and testifies. "It is
blood, human blood.' But tills young
man disarms the prosecution at the
outset. He says, 'Yes; It Is blood, the
blood of my father.' Then he explains i
plausibly how It happens to be upon
him."
"Ah. yes, very good. Mr. Mitchell
But If he were really innocent why
should ho wash or attempt to wash the
tain off. and why should he stop to replace
his cuffs If he were really In a
-hurry to renort to the policeV"
"So! He had attempted to wash
sway the blood. That was an error, I
fear. Hut they all make mistakes.
How did he answer these questions?
that Is. If you asked them?"
"Yes; I asked them, and he replied."
Mr. Barnes spoke rather reluctantly.
"He snhl that he had noticed the blood
upou his wristband and washed It off
because he thought some fool of a de
leciivc intgni conceive the idea that lie
bod killed his father; that ho had put
* oft Ills cuffs because he was In too
great a hurry to stop to change the
shirt, and lie had hoped that the cuff
would hide the fact that the wristband
. hod been washed."
"Ity heavens, Mr. Barnes, a brilliant
answer, a very brilllaut answer!'4 Mr.
{:<Mltchel laughed heartily.
"It may be brilliant," retorted Mr.
. ' Barnes, "but it Is false, and I will
prove It so If It be so."
, "If it be so! Ah, wisely added, Mr.
Barnes?If It be so!"
"You of course agree that the crucial
point .In this affair is the conillcting
statements of the watchman and young
Mora. The watchman asserts positive

one of these men Is lying."
"Pardon me, Mr. Barnes, but you
say that one of the men lies becauso
you think that young Mora is telling a
falsehood. Y'ou do not menu that by
oay possibility the watchman Is lying,
yet It may be tbat Mora tells tho
truth and also that tho watchman believes
that his own statement is accurate."
"You mean that the watchman was
perhaps mistaken and that It was some
other person who entered the house?"
"Precisely so. It Is possible."

"The inquest in tlie Mora case ended
yesterday, the jury bringing in the usual
commonplace verdict, 'Died from
wounds intiicted by parties unknown.'
Tlius, despite tlie many bints that the
district attorney and the detectives
liad discovered damaging evidence
against young Matthew Mora, nothing
i has been proved. The evidence offered
was entirely speculative and theoretical,
and the jury rightly declined to
cast a stain upou the young man's
character upon such lliuisy testimony.
The main points upon which the police
relied were the discovery of blood upon
the young man's sleeve and the positive
assertion of the watchman that
he had been seen dressed iu a plaid
suit, known to be ids, entering and
leaving the house at or near 1 o'clock.
The lirst point Mr. Mora easily disposed
of by openly admitting that the
blood was that of his father and that
lie had been smeared with it while examining
the corpse to ascertain whether
the heart might not be beating. lie
denied the alleged visit to the house,
as claimed by the watchman, and candidly
confessed that he did not know
what had become of the missing suit
of clothing. He suggested, however,
that the murderer may have worn It
over his owu blood stained garments
when leaving the house, a theory that
Was evldentlv neenntnItln tl?n
This might not have been had not Mr.
Mora satisfactorily accounted for Ids
time during the night. It Rebuts that
he has been taking an interest lately In
the east side slums and has beeu studying
the labor problem. On the night of
the murder he attended a ball sit Apollo
IiaJl. hoping by associating with the
inhabitants of the section to gain a
closer insight into their needs, and
tiius perhaps later on to apply the
money which he knew would he his
and which has now come to him so unexpectedly
toward alleviating the distress
of the poor slum dwellers. In
support of this story he produced two
witnesses who testified that he was at
Apollo hall throughout the ball, dancing
with some of the fair Jewish maidens
and making merry with tiie men. i
They declare that he did not leave for
.home until about 4 o'clock, which tal- 1
lies nicely with the time of his actual j
arrival there."
"Too nicely!" growled the detective. i
"I need not read further. The reporter 1
seems to lie making an effort to white- i
wash young Mora, for the rest of the
article is devoted to sounding his 1
praises. You may look it over later if
you like." i
"Thank you. 1 will." said Mr. Mitchel,
taking the paper. "Now. then, what 1
can I do for you in tlds case? What
course will you pip-sue 7" '
"Well, the police put forward the
theory that Mora is the murderer. The
coroner's jury lias virtually knocked
their theory Into a cocked hat. I have
noted that in cases of this sort the police
make little further effort, and by
degrees the details are forgotten l?y
the public, who seize upon the next
crime served up to satisfy their appetite
for the sensational. Thus the murderer
escapes. IVut in tlds Instance lie
shall not escape. If it he young Mora,
1 will brine the crime homo to tilm n?
rot urn for his Insolent language to me. '
If it I t* some other person, why, 1 shall j '
be equally well serving the ends of Jus- |
tlce by discovering the truth."
"Yes. but beware. Mr. Itnrnes! Fori J
the llrst time since 1 have hail the honor
of your acquaintance you allow personal
feeling to enter into your Invest!- 1
gatlon of a case. Voting Mora has been 1
Insolent to you, but that would not Jus-" '
tlfy you In weaving a web of clrcum- 1
stnntial evidence around him which, 1
will blast his reputation (orever, even j' '
if It do not bring him to the.gallows."
"1 hope 1 am above that sort of ' '
thing." said Mr. Barnes, flushing deep-' 1
ly. "I am sure"? . i . 1
"So ant 1?sure that you arc above lt.il

Merely call your attention to the exist- 1
?uce of the viper that you may crush it
ivttli your heel. But you ask me to aid | '
roil iu this affair. It may surprise you
to hear me say that I cannot go Into
the case as you desire."
"I am more than surprised. I am '
sorely disappointed," said the detect-.
I vc.
"Oli, It is not so bad ns that!" added1 (
Mr. Mitchel quickly. "I may be ofi
some use to you. You see, 'the truth1
Is, Mr. Barnes, I am not exactly a de-]
lectivc by trade. I menu no offense,j
but I cannot look at these eases fronij ,
your standpoint. With you a crime;
committed indicate^ that there Is a
LTimimil at large. That criminal must,
be discovered, Imprisoned, perhaps
hanged. That is your work. It is a
work wilh which I can have no sort
of sympathy." ' 1
"But I have thought that these Investigations
interested you."
Mr. Barnes was much astonished nt
Mr. Mitehei's words.
"All! Indeed the investigation of a
mystery is Interesting to tne,. especially
where the use of brains, nud more
particularly of brains agaiust brains,
enters into the work. But tlie study of
a murder ease, with the single object
of hanglig the murderer, Is not attractive
to me."
"Surely you do not moan that murderers
should go unpunished?"
"No; perhaps that would not- be a
wise course. But to nie It seems that
the arrest, conviction and hanging of a
specified murderer are matters of absolutely
no importance and of 110 effect
in abating the tendency toward crime,
which is such a conspicuous charac'eristic
of mankiud. As I hinted
1 while ago.- wheu you said that I went
00 deep for you, I can almost believe
hat it is of more utility to study the
auscs which have made a given crime
lossible than to capture and kill the
M'iuilual. We think that we have thus
<ot rid of him. We have put him away,
out of the world. We have ended his
career. Ah! But have we? Can wc
be sure tluit his crime will not breed
another crime as a direct sequence to
the one for which lie is punished? And
do we know whether his punishment
will ndvar.re or check the tendency
toward crime which ho lias left as a
heritage ty liis offspring? These are

Barnes, than (lie killing of the man
vvlio killed Mr. Mora."
"But surwly, 1 must repeat," said Mr.
Barnes, "you would not advise that
mimes should go unpunished?"
"Perhaps 1 might when 1 am wiser,
you know." Mr. Miichel laughed and
once a sain abruptly changed the subject.
"However, Mr. Barnes, since you
frown so upon me I will lend you my
assistance."
"You will?" exclaimed Mr. Barnes
eagerly.
"I will, 'and there's my hand ou't,'
ns the song says. No! No! No thanks
are necessary. Who knows? As 1
said before, perhaps your affair may
he connected with mine, after all, in
which ease I would but be advancing
my own interests in aiding you."
"Do you mean that you have found
some connection between the killing of
Mr. Mora and"?
"Perhaps! 1 only say perhaps! Do
not press me to commit myself further.
And now give me 21 hours in
which to study the case, will you?"
Mr. Barnes accepted the hint to go,
and after cordially thanking Mr..*
Mitchel for Ills promised assistance he
went away lighter hearted. With Mr.
Mitcliel co-operating tie thought that
only a few days would he needed to
bring hint to the truth.
After this departure Mr. Mitcliel took
up the newspaper, intending to read
over the report of the inquest, wften
his eye rested upon a headline in the
'next column, which caused hliu to read
the following:
"BP.CTAI. TREATMENT OF A CllluVf'
"The Metropolitan Foundling society
have just had their attention drawn to
a case which Is peculiarly monstrous
in its cruelty. It appears that ouo of
their agents on Ills regular tour through
the east side was not!tied by the policeman
on duty that a baby had been
abandoned near by. Upon Investigation
tlie agent found that a row of tenements
backed upon n small burial
ground which, of course, bad not been
used for*Interments for many years
and is therefore rarely opened. Into
this graveyard some fiend liad thrown
ii girl baby, about n year old, aud tliere
left It, In a fitting place to starve ^o
death. The infant #hen discovered
was entirely naked, so that there was
nothing about it which eould serve as
a means of Identification. Inquiry
among the Inhabitants of the tenements
elicited the fact that for four
days the child had been seen crawling
about In the grass, playing among the
headstones, yet no one had found time
to Investigate the affair, though some
one had thrown bits of bread and
crackers to the poor little baby, which
It ravenously seized upon and devoured.
To those living in up town streets,
dwelling in comfortable If not luxurious
bonus, it may seem incredible that
this Infant could be thus left for so
many days with no one to go to its rescue.
Hut these poor folks are themselves
nigh starvation, working long,
dreary hours under the killing IntluDuees
of the dread sweatshop, with
masters correcting them for n mo- J
incut's Idleness. Huch as these have I
their better feelings dulled; such as
these have no time to wonder whoso
baby tli's waif might be or whether,
after nil. It may not have belonged to
some one near by who would claim It
before nightfall. Indeed the wonder Is
that such as these even hud the thought
to throw food to the little one creeping
about In the grass. Hnt the horror Is
that any human being could abaudon a
child to such a fate.r,s ouly chance

But the reporter here has lifted a corner

ind as he pt.t l\ down he exclaimed:

CHAPTER II.
"UNTO THE Till no AND FOURTH"?FINcras.
A half hour later Mr. Mitohel enter- r,
ed theolliceor the Metropolitan Found- Jling
society and from one of the clerks
ohtaiued further Information relative \
to the foundling. The address of a wo- *
man who hnd first reported the ease,
as well as her name, Gertrude Griflin, "A
was given to hlni, and upon his rc- !
quest-he was permitted to see the little
waif,. who was snugly tucked away iu x
a Cot on the floor nhovo.
As Mr. Mitrhel was entering the up- A
A
per room he met an acquaintance in .n
the hallway. This was Colonel Payton,
one ol' (lie directors cf the society.
The colonel was a large uian, with a

bail* was \vliitc:iiutr, and bis long side !\
whiskers, already white, made him ^
iouk older tbnu lie rt nay was. During .a
tlie late civil war be bail served bis i
country faitbfully and had earned bis 'A
epaulets l>y bravery on the Held, bav- A
in;; risen from the racks to the position ^
which be held when Ids command had *\
been mustered out. Ib turning to New r
York after the war, he settled down ^
to the peaceful occ."pation of making \
money, and by fo,i..ii do speculations A_
in Wall street and investments in real
estate he bad placed himself far above
the need of f art Iter effort. s
Therefore be bad retired from active "
business aud for several years bad de- n
voted bis time to church an 1 charity. ^
In this manner, be bad earned tlie rep- i,
illation of being a useful member of
society, a philanthropist who gave
freely, yet who deprecated iudiscritui- ^
uate almsgiving, believing that the
best good was to he attained by helping
others to help themselves. He had
therefore allied himself with several
associations having the betterment of
the poor as their aim.
Personally lie was an exceedingly
genial and pleasant companion until
you differed with lUm on one of his
principles of life, when he would show
his New England ancestry, being very
"set." lie was a bachelor, and some
said that he was a woman hater, which
was denied by others, who declared 4
that lie eschewed the society of the opposite
sex because he had unsuccessfully
wooed one whom he had wished
to make his bride. However this may 1
have been, whenever the colonel did
choose to honor a social gathering with
his presence he was sure of a warm
reception. * Ilis evenings were usually
spout at his club, where he was a
conspicuous iigure at the whist table,
and, whether or not lie was a favorite
with the ladies, certain it was that he
was honored and even courted by ids
tern* of rare ability.
"Delighted to meet you. Mr. Mitchell"
exclaimed the colonel, recognizing
that gentleman. "I thought you were
on the other side."
"I have just returned by the Paris,"
said Mr. Mitcbcl. "I see you are on
your rounds. Inspecting one of your
favorite charities?"
"Well, hardly that." said the colonel. _
with a laugh. "1 don't allow my charities.
as you call them, to take up all
of uiy time. Hut there is a case in hand
at present to which I shall give uiy j
personal attention. Perhaps you have
read of the horror In the morning papers?"
|
"Do you mean that little naked baby
found in the graveyard?"
Mr. Mitchel was pleased to find that
his companion was interested in tills ease,
as lie counted upon Ids garrulousness
to obtain more of the facts
than had escaped from the official
mouth, scaled with red tape, which he j
had met below stairs.
"Yes," replied,the colonel. "That is j
a monstrous affair. Think of a mother '
throwing a baby less than a year old *
Info a graveyard and leaving It there
to starve. I intend to find that woman i
and"? *
"IIow do you know it was the mother?"
asked Mr. Miteliel quietly. "It
mny have been the father who thus
wished to rid himself of a burdensome
offspring."
