Frank settled all the bills at the ho tel, ■ Including Reginald's, and was re questing the ciurk to send for a cab when a bell boy crossed the office nnd handed him a letter. "This Is queer, sir,” he said, and pushed the letter qver to Frank, Who glanced nt the envelope and saw that It bore the New York postmark and was addressed to "Reginald Brace- bridge, Grand Hotel, Boston.” Full of astonishment, Frank looked up ut the clerk Inquiringly. "Better open It,” said he. Frank did so at once, and with trem bling Angers, and this Is the astounding thing he read: Dear Blbl—There Is trouble. The baroness never went to Cleveland.

' "And now." he aald at lant, "our bust- res, la done In Heaton. What do you two gentlemen propone to do?" Mr. Harris looked at hi, watch. "In half an hour," said he, "I am off to Old Orchard." "I will Join you," said the detective. CHAPTER LXXXVI. More Mystery. By thin time Franh had had a surfeit of surprises. They hud become monot onous. But thl, letter knocked hit menial balance for the moment quite out of gear. * Who on earth was Buxanne, and who cite could Blbl be but Reginald, to whom She letter was addreased? What did It all mean? Wasn’t It enough to turn any man's brain? He looked up and saw that the clerk was bursting with curiosity and got a grip upon him self nt once. "It la nothing of any consequence," he said, thrusting the precious missive Into his pocket. "And, oh, here Is a cab. Don't forget to Bend on that tele gram should It arrive." "It shall be uttended to, Mr. Brace- bridge." "Well, then, good day.” "flood day, sir; a pleasant Journey." Within half an hour FranJt was on hla wiy to New York. He had selected a smoking car. and ne sole traveling companions had two aermnns who smoked long-stemmtil china pipes and conversed In a language of which he had but a very i>erfunctory knowledge. He could not bring himself to believe that the baroness had had a hand In the commission nf this ghastly crlms. Yel. upon thinking the matter over In cold blood, whnt would have been easier than for her to have, arranged through the medium of a confederate, the mysterious Buxanne, for Instance, to have tho telegram forwarded at a certain predetermined hour for the sole purpose of foisting that Infernal Sar atoga trunk, with He ghastly oceupnnt, upon some unsuspecting fellow trav eler? Her seeming agitation upon reading the telegram might readily'have been assumed, and In view, of her mysterious disappearance from Boston nothing seemed more probable. Whither had she fled, and did no. the very fart of her (light of Iteelf Indicate a guilty knowledge of what was In that ac cursed trunk? , This led to another reneetton. 8u- sanne’s letter, clearly Intended for no other eyes than Reginald’s, pointed unmistakably to his having an absolute knowledge of the baroness' movements. Then, too. why was he called "Blbl" by the writer, whose every word was sug gestive of there being something more then mere friendly fenlngs between the pair? Deep Reflectione. Was It credible that Reginald had sought to hoodwink him by writing that letter so full of apparent contri tion? It was a hateful thought. But, after all. what was one to believe? Were It true it were equally possible that In a fit of repentance he had re frained from posting It; and If so,- but for hlx sudden death Frank might never have seep It at all. This was a new reflection and opened up fresh conjectures of a very startling nature. Suddenly Suxanne's letter be came Intelligible. She was undoubtedly a'contederate and go-between, to whom. In the furtherance of hie purpose, Regi nald had made certain amorous ad- vances. A crime had been committed of which both were cognisant. Had he any hand In Its commission? Above all, who was thc'evlctlm? Could Detective LoftiX theory hove been right after all? It was a sickening thought that hl», after all. may have been the su perior wtxdcm, and that the beautiful womop, whose Image was always In FrnnPs mind, had lied In saying that the man at Saratoga was her husband. Oood heavens! Could that be the solu tion of the mystery? Had the two inen met by some mischance nnd wns his cousin a murderer? Here at last was food for very serious nnd somber reflection, and the more he turned the awful thought over In his mind the stronger the conviction grew that he wns on the right track at last. Frank's nerves had been so complete ly shattered by the awful events of the preceding days that he gave himself up to the most morbid reflections. In the face of all his Instincts, all his reason, he was ready to believe the beautiful baroness, his distinct kinswoman, an accessory to the murder. Frank soon began to draw a mental picture of the tragedy. Cue more rash attempt by Reginald to visit the baron ess possibly—nay, probably, with her consent. A surprise on the part of the husband, high words, a scuffle—mur der. Suzanne a witness; the baroness (hating her husband, If ahe could be believed) an acceasory to the crime. The baroness, who had carried out her part of the heinous business with consummate skill, wns doubtless now In Baltknore or on her way thither, hence Reginald's feverish anxlctygtbout a telegram he expected from that quarter, oh, yea—every piece of the puzzle fitted perfectly Into Its proper “ this hateful conviction For orer nine rent 1 ■ •tlpitlon nnd during tnii Injection ot rrann water • tried £»** T it* «,*»nd D t2 Daring tho nine yerre b* Buffered untold miner/w: offered with chronle con i time I bed to t*ke er one* ereryg* boars befort l my bowel*.

Mueller alive, Mueller within his reach, triumph In sight, his lovely baroness—Frank already called her his. mentally—Innocent. . All this went like an electric flail? through, his mind as he grasped his baggage and sprang out upon the plat form determined to follow the three men. But to his dismay they had dis appeared. This was not so very star tling. for the train had been a very crowded one and on the platform now all was hustle and confusion. "Perhaps they have all gohe out to the street." Frank said to himself, and quickly bent his steps In that direction. BURIED J UACO Relatives of Henry Hartley Not Located By Officers. With no result, however, and It was with a feeling of dlaguat for.hls want ol alertness that l)e leaped Intn a cab and ordered the man to drive him to the ho tel where Reginald had stayed. As he stepped up to the desk to or der a room the tlerk recognized him at once. "Ah!" said he. “we rather expected to see or hear from you, Mr. Brace- bridge, with r regard to your cousln’i baggage. -What a sad affair. We read about If In the papers, and knew by the name there could be no mistake. There was his telogrqm, too, from Bos ton, If you will remember." “Oh. quite so," Frank replied. "I have Just returned from Boston and the body Is now on Its way. Yes, It Ja very* sad affair, Indeed." ' "By the way," he said, "a gentle man waa here making Inquiries about him and yourself.” "Mr. I.oftus?" "That I* the name he gave.' "Precisely. He accompanied me to Boston. I parted with him there this afternoon. He It by this time on his way here. I have come, as you sug gested, to get my cousin's baggage. Will you kindly have It placed In my room? I Intend to stay here' tonight." The clerk was all clvjllty and at once directions. A few place. To this hateful convict Frank arrived long before ho reached New York. However, by this time Frank had begun to feel the detective spirit ripen Ing fast within him. With or without, preferably without, the aaalstnnco of Detective I.oftus. he now meant to clear up every doubtful point In the terrlhle business. Reginald dead, he had suddenly become a millionaire. He would rid himself at once of business anxieties by dropping practice outright and then devote nil his energies to the quest of the lovely woman who, from the very flret, had exerted such a dead ly Influence upon him. She might be guilty, but find her he must and would. Curiously enough, Just before reach ing New York he had occasion to curse his lmp< . Hitherto he hnd not paid the slightest attention to his fellow travelers, but wns startled at last by hearing the name Slavlnaky mentioned with great emphasis, and repeated again and again. Then, by listening Intently, he wof able to piece this word and that to gether, and to vaguely gather that the man under discussion had Just return ed to New York after a mysterious ab rencc, that he ran a great risk In com ing to New York, and hla wife a still greater one, If they should chance to meet. . Was It possible that fney were nl- ludlng to the baroness, and Frank wax ast thinking that he would give hlx ead to be assured of that when they entered the New York terminus. Frank was gathering up hit smaller luggage when the two men left the Every Family Medicine Shelf ought to contain The Household Surgeon” which is a bottle of Dr. Porter’s Antiseptic Healing OH A Household Surgical Dressing for cuts, burns, bruises, sores, skin dis* eases, catarrh, or all wounds and exter nal affections, whether slight or serious.

"Now," he said, "for dinner first, and afterward to the baroness’ hotel. What startling discovery shall I make there, I wonder? Nothing can very much surprise me now, at all events." More Inquiries. Frank dined at one of the Broadway restaurants. Then, feeling strengthened and reinforced, he girded his loins, feel ing prepared for whntever might befall, and proceeded straightway to the hotel Seating himself in the reading room, he rang for a waiter, to whom he gave hla card, with the request that It might be taken up to the manager, with whom he dhstred a personal Interview. Some minutes elnpaed before the waiter returned. Would the gentleman be good enough, was asked, to follow him. Frank did so. and was shortly ushered Into the presence of the great man. A newspaper, Frank observed, was open upon a table before him. From this he looked up and quietly motioned Frank to be seated. "To whom do I owe the pleasure of this visit, sir?" he asked. Frank replied that It was In Conner- tlon with the Baroness Slavlnaky, who, It wns understood, had been a recent guest at the hotel. “As I surmised." he answered, strange enough, when your card was brought to me 1 was just rending a curious paragraph In the paper here, In which your name Is mentioned." Frank at once begged to see the par agraph In question, which he toutm to be a much condensed report of the cor oner's Inquiry In Cleveland. Handing the paper bark, he said; "This Is quite correct so far as It goes. I am the person referred to. and very unpleasant business It t* for me. too.” 1 "And for us." said he, "the imputa tion that a crime has been committed this hotel—and that Is what It amounts to—Is a very serious one. Nothing of the kind has ever occurred here before, and 1 can not bring my self even now to believe that such a thing has really happened. Will you be good enough to give me *11 the de tails of the case?" With pleasure, sir," and Frank straightway related to the uttermost particular what hod happened In the train and at Buffalo, together with the unpleasant consequences that ensued In Cleveland, adding that the evidence of the police oftlccr. who had made Inquiries at this very hotel, went to corroborate his story In every respect, so that suspicion no longer attached to him. The manager, who had listened with very manifest Interest to the state ment, nodded hla head vigorously at this poln* On Mueller’s Track. ■Very true. I remember now. It wns several days ago. I did not at tach much Importance to his questions. He made no mention ot crime, and I dismissed the matter from my mind. By the way—about halt an nour ago another man was here making Inqui ries about the Baroness SlaVInsky"— Frank gave a great start. "Oh.;Indeed;" he said. "May I In quire what eort of a man he was? You can easily comprehend that this Is a matter In which I am, In a sense, vital, ly Interested.” "Exactly," said he. "Well, he was not a Frenchman, nor An Englishman, as I knew by his accent which was not German either. I should Imagine him to be Russian or a Pole.” "Clean shaven, or bearded?" Frank osked. “Bearded, very- foreign-looking.” "H'm," Frank said. "What. If I may be permuted to ask, was the nature Special to The Georgian.
