TO-DAY’S INSTALLMENT. “For tile simple reason that the persons concerned never attached any great importance to it," replied Nar- kom. “consequently it was never re ported to the police. Indeed. I had difficulty in recalling the circum stances to a great many of them. “The most of them appear to have thought it the trick of a child or children, scrawling numbers haphaz ard on the doorstep, and forgot all about the matter after a servant had washed them away. Besides, the deaths never fallowed instantly, but for a week to two weeks afterward. Then, too, the cases ^vere widely sep arated, no two happening in the same neighborhood, and the sudden deaths not being confined to any one par ticular class, nor—save in one in stance—to parties who had been mj much as simply acquainted with each other. For instance, one victim was au cmnieht judg' , another a mere draper’s clerk, a third a well known musician, a fourth a green-grocer, a fifth an actor, and so on all down ^he list. Some were in the suburbs, oth ers in the town, several were in the country; so that it was not likelj that the family of one victim would hear of the green chalk marks having also appeared upon the house of an other. Indeed, It is doubtful that the marks would ever have recurred to the memory of any had I not recalled them to mind by my inquiry regard ing them." "And what put it into your head to do that?" Lady Jennifer’s Appeal. “Lady Jennifer’s ajipeal to me. Her son' had been stricken down with sud den illness at the beginning of the week.

"But that need not have caused her uneasiness. 1 recall ;t minute or so agr i* made., up of 'flats.' uefote ha. : e been otuei families than hers under that roof. Why. then, should she take the marks as applying to herself or her son? Why, indeed, attach any significance to them if she never heard of those other cases? You said the victims were in all - cas*** stranger--- to each other. Hum-m-m!” “In all cashes but one." < orrected Narkom. “That one was the sister of a victim, ('leek. Lady Jennifer had not seen her for more than two years. She came nr» to town for a for. cays and called upon her ladyship In en tering, she saw those chalk .marks' which the can taker of tin* fiats was endeavoring to wipe away. It recalled the similar marks on the doorstep of her late brother’s houve prior to hi death. Hut even so, it is (jodbti'ui if she would have attach *d any peculiar significance to them hi d she not, ui on- reaching her friend’s flat, discovered a circumstance which, linked to them.
