She had noticed his peculiar avoidance of a pronoun, and she asked him without emotion whether there was any doubt that the assailant was a man. “We don't pretend to know any thing about it,” lie replied, “hut there tire certain circumstances which lead us to suspect that it might have been woman. A gentleman who was passing the house about the hour when this thing must have been done saw a woman coining out. Now, except for Miss Miller, the lodgers in this house are all men, and we can’t get any trace of this woman. We don't know how or when she got into the house nor what she did here. It’s sure that she didn’t ring the hell nor make any more noise than she could help. No body let her in, so far as we can learn, and we've covered the ground pretty thoroughly.” “Perhaps she didn't come in at all,” said Brenda. “She may only have as cended the steps and then, finding that this was not the house that she had supposed it to be”— “Or changing her mind for any rea son." the captain continued. “Quite right. I see your point. But the wo man wore a heavy veil: she seemed to be somewhat excited, and she hurried away eastward— I think you said eastward. Dr. Blair?” “Toward Broadway,” responded the physician, with embarrassment. “It’s a pity von didn't notice her more particularly.” said the captain. “I'd give a dollar or two for her de scription just now.” “You can’t get it from me,” replied Dr. Blair. “There was no reason why I should pay any particular attention to her. She was a well dressed, styl ish looking young woman, and that's all I know about her.” Brenda looked at him steadily for some seconds. “Dr. Blair,” said she. “what did this [officer ask you on the steps just be- j fore I c.-uiie in?" i The doctor blushed and glanced un- 1 easily at tin* captain, j asked him if lie could pick that ; woman out of a crowd.” said the cap- | tain, "and he told me that he didn’t | know: he couldn't be sure.” ! ”1 fancied that it might have been something of the sort.” rejoined Brenda. “And now.

Then, perceiving that Brenda was standing, he rose hastily, very much to the young lady's surprise. “By the way.” said the captain, “while we’re waiting I want to ask you about Mr. Addon. We've-sent word to his office, but he isn’t there. They don't know where lie’s gone. You knew him quite well, didn’t you? I noticed how quick you recognized his hand writing.” “Yes.” said Brenda. “1 know him quite well." “Auil you knew Miss Miller?” “I never saw her." replied Brenda after a moment's hesitation. “Why, Miss Williams." exclaimed Neale, with a grotesque attempt to speak softly. “1 thought you said you were a friend of liers!‘^ —> “I hardly knew what to say to the policemen at the door,” replied Brenda calmly. "I was very anxious to get in. And let me add that I am at present very anxious to get out." ' “Just oue minute,” said the captain. “You knew Air. Akleii.
