inquired the hostess, coming forward to
pour the yellow cream and sprinkle the

Maisie’* New Hats.
‘ Why, my new hats," was the answer,
as thirty-two faultless white teeth met in
the center of a giant berry. “They are sim

beauties. One Is for the morning, a tur

nattering to my already highly cultivated
sense of vanity.”
"Don’t,my dear Pauline,lnsist that I am
hot vain," went on Maisle with a mis
chievous smile, “and one of the reasons
of my weakness is the effect of hat num

said the hostess confidently, "for when you
are most aware of your becoming clothes
you are most dangerous to the peace of
mind ot any unlucky man who crosses
your path. Who is to be the victim of
those hats. I wonder?”
"Now Pauline, you perfectly well know
your accusations are unjust. One must
bo decenlly dressed, and it’s my belief that
a becoming hat is the vital point In every
woman’s toilet. You may wear a fault
less gown and be an extremely pretty wo
man withal but if your hat is gloomy or
grotesque or out of turn or not becom
ing, all your effort Is in vain. The French
may continue to say that with good shoes
find g oves and a bit of lace any woman
is well dressed, but profound consideration
has persuaded me that the hat is the
thing.”
Miss Chicago’s Simple Wardrobe.
“Well, here comes our girl from the
West. What does she say?” asked the
hostess as Miss San Francisco kissed
them both and turned hungrily to the
cake basket.
"Hats?” inquired the girl. “Ah, they
are not at all in my line this summer.
I’m booked for some quiet springs where
all the girls go in for an Arcadian sea

sailor, with a high crown band of lus

make no secret of the fact that Ihe price

"You see, most days at the springs we
go bare-headed and when I shake my

•'Don't you ever miss the 01. l life?" he
asked as the three of us sat in my Greene
street home sipping hot scotch and ropln
ning old yarns. Jim had reference to my
leaving the force, but I could in all hon
esty answer: “Not as much as you would
imagine. Although lam no longer on the
pay roll, I yet have my diversions. And
really some of the most peculiar cases I
ever happened upon have come to roe <=inoe
resigning.”
■ Such as the Spotted Bull Dog?” sug
gested Kenton.
“Well, yea," I responded. "That was
unique, but devoid of all ugliness; no bru
tol .features, you know. It was a pretty
enigma, and I wish all criminal problems
were resulting in as little harm.
“Do you ever run across any eases as
complicated as those sat down by Doyle
In his Sherlock Holmes stories?” sskel
Jim, refilling his pipe. Although I call him
Jim, like Kenton and myself he was pant
the prime of life. Three old cronies we
wero who had only the past to live In.
"No and yes." I answered. "I have
known of some extremely puzzling affairs
that balked all efforts of solution, affair*
seemingly blind, yet made clear by a trifle.
But I have never believed in thlß deduc
tion theory. Doyle Is a brilliant man to
invent such deductions, but, of course, he
works backward. If a man could posreis
the quick intuition of his Holme* he could
make extremely clever guesses, but in the
long run would be led completely astray by
hi* very acumen. It wou.dn tdo in real
life to put down every eunburned man a*

when Jim Fisk was commodore of the
Fall river steamboats I had occasion to
go to Newport. Completing my business
there I took passage for New York in the
same boat I had come down on. Early
in the morning I was up to see. the sun
rise, it being a fad of mine when afloat.
As quite a number of us were chatting
near the rail on the port side there was
considerable of a splash in the water be
low and a deck hand cried out: “Alan
overboard!” We all sprang forward and
leaned over the rail, while not a few
grabbed ho’d cf ropes ready to throw to
the unfortunate. 'There he is,’ one man
cried, pointing excitedly. They were re
versing the engines meanwhile. ‘He acts
queer,’ muttered someone at my left.
Then we saw the reason for it. For, as
the sun’s first shaft struck the water the
man rolled over and assumed an almost
upright position, while a ray of light
flashed across his face, revealing a dark
red discoloration. 'He's been shot through
the head!’ cried a deck hand below, who
was in a better position to see. The right
arm of the corpse was now flung up
right, probably by the action of the wa
ter from the prop:ilor, and seemed to
point above us. Instinctively we all looked
to the upper deck, and there, hanging far
out, with a face wearing the most malig
nant hate, or hellish glee, I ever saw, was
an old man, whose long white hair and
beard marked him conspicuously.
‘‘We all rushed for the stairway, but on
gaining the upper deck he was gone. A
steward informed us that such a person
dashed by him and that he wore a long
linen duster. He also eald that the man
ivas mutter.ng something to himself whol
ly unintelligible. By this time the ship
was in commotion. We informed the cap
tain of what we had seen, and at once
orders were given to search the ship. No
passengers were found answering the des
cription. A second seaich was made, every
passenger inspected, but with the same
result. On reaching the West street pier
officers were stationed abput the gang
way, and as the pass?ngers*ffled ashore
all were again subjected to close exami
nation. But no old gentleman was found
wearing white hair and beard. Then the
boat was given a second overhauling with
the former success.
"It created a great deal of excitement
at the time and the papers were full of It.
“A year passed and I had well nigh
forgotten It, O, I should remark that the
body of the man was secured a day after
the murder was committed. For It was
murder, the hole In the head having been
made by a revolver held at close range.
As I was saying I had forgotten H when
I received orders to sail at once for Sa
vannah to look after a case there. On the
first night out I had been playing whist
In the smoking room and did not leave
the table until qulto late. As I entered
the saloon I heard a cry at the farther
end and thought I saw someone dart
Into a passageway. The saloon was desert
ed and dimly lighted. I hurried forward,
not expecting to find any one, so was
startled wh< n I stumbled upon a young
man sprawling in a pool of blood and
moaning feebly. I called for help and tried
to bolster him up. My partner at the
whist table now appeared and several
servants. We found he had been stabb
ed, or rather slashed, across the neck, the
cut extending down to his right shoulder.
It was a wicked wound and bled profuse
ly. But as it had missed the Jugular and
there wore two doctors aboard beside the
boat physician, we believed it was not
fatal. Restoratives wrre given, the flow of
blood checked, and the victim placed In
his berth. When question’d as to
how It happened he could only tall u*
that as he. was about to enter the p.issage
leading to his stateroom he experienced a
shock, a burning sensation, and realised
that an old man with white hair and teard,
wrapped In long, light garment, we*
pushing by him. The knife with which the
blow was given was picked up a few feet
inside the passageway. It was a common
butcher knife and bore the bolt’s mark.
I took the captain aside and related the
murder on the. Fall River beet of a year
previous. He remembered U aid at once
look steps for a most thorough search.
Hut, as In the other ease, no old mao was
found. Execptlng a Judge of the Hupreme
Court, one or two congressmen and sev
eral well known merchants of New York
city, no men of advanced ago were on
board. The officers of the boat were anx
ious that the Fall River myatery should
not be coupled with this affair, but la
some manner it got out. You never say
such a nervous crowd. Although the boat
was now brilliantly lighted, no one would
go about alone. The servants were ex
tremely agitated and moved to lobey or
ders in pairs. The next day saw no abate
ment in the dread of the old man who had
vanished so completely. Once when Judge
S—— approached two youngsters on the for
ward deck I noticed that one of th*m
reached for his hip. Several of the wo
men were in hysterics, and one of them or
learning my Identity clung to my arm all
day long. And I must admit that I felt a
little sheky. You see, I had passed through
something of ihe same once before. On y
In the former case the agony was not pro
longed. But here we were in a boat out
of sight of land, knowing that somewhere
in our midst was a murderer all the more
terrible because he was not known.
"Faeeongers with drawn revolvers rare
sacked each stateroom while the boat of
ficials examined every inch of the ves
sel. I took but little part in these pro
ceedings, for I remembered the past and
did not look for any solution of the mys
tery. As night drew on again the fear
Increased, w’ho next? was the look in
every eye. Armed watchers guarded the
more remote parts of the boat, while the
passengers, to a person, almost huddled
together In the saloon. X believe a few
whose staterooms opened off from ihe sa
loon did retire; but not an eye was clos
ed In sleep throughout the night.
"Along about 2 o’clock I determined to
take a little scout about on my own hook,
and slipping on some ‘sneaks,’ with load
ed revolver in my hand, I set out. I
must have prowlad about for over an
hour when I reached a passage leading
back to the cabin. As I was about to
enter it I remembered it was the same
one through which the murderer fled or
the night before. A light was dimly
burning near the center of the passage
and under it I could discern a watch
man, who was evidently asleep. For
pome reason I looked behind me. All
was clear, but as I turned again I expe
rienced the greatest shock of my life. For
bending over the recumbent guard was
the old man ir. the linen duster with a
wicked looking knife upraised. I let out
a yell that ought to have reached the
mainland, and thrusting forward my re
volver, let go. With an answering shriek
the old man turned and dropped his wea
pon. I hope never again to see such a
look of devilish ferocity as shone from
his face. Of course, all this took place
in a second, but even then I knew my
bullet had gone wide. Without the knife,
however, I was not afraid of
him, and with another yell I Jump
ed forward. But quicker than I, the old
man darted a few steps down the pas
sageway and into a stateroom. After him
I sprang, but found the door locked. I
Jumped against It. but It did not give way
entirely. With another lunge I had it
opened. A woman’s scream greeted me,
and I saw that the occupant was sitting
up In her berth, her eyes full of terror.
The window was open, and with scant
courtesy I rushed for this. I could hear
the passengers crying out to one another
and running about. The woman behind
me stopped screaming. Turning from the
window my eyes met her face In a mir
ror. I then realised the horrible truth,
for the face wore the same look of fiend
ish Intensity I had Been In the passage
way. , .
"When the boat’s people found me I
had her handcuffed and she was writhing
in a maniac’s frenzy. Bhe was a sporadic
murderer, and she was algo the young
woman who had clung 10 me so tenaciously
during the preceding day. I trembled as
I thought of my danger."
"What about the white hair and linen
duster?” broke In Kenton, whose pipe had
gone out the meanwhile. •
'•We found them stuffed under her
berth; also the false beard,” I explained.
"She died Inside of a year In a lunatic
asylum.”
"I shall keep a light burning for a
week,” muttered Jim, as they prepared to
leave.
"Are you sure she’s dead?” inquired
Kenton, slipping on his great coat.
