There were hut few at the funeral service of Garrett Folsom, Of course, Miss Folsom and Dan Pelton were the chief mourners. They were attended by Paxton and Ro who behaved as proper VA should and watched for any oppor- tunity of ministering to the wants of their employers. Tite Riggs and Robin Sears attend- ed, for they had the cgse well in hand now, and Riggs, like a hunter keen for prey, lost mo possible chance to glean any bit of information. He scarce hoped to pick up any at the the funeral, but there might be some hint or suggestion in the attitudes of the dead man's relatives that would be enlightening. And there were bome who dropped in out of mere idle curiosity, and others who were there because they chanced to be in the neighborhood. Pelton had locked the door of his suite and thrown the key onthe office desk as he came downstairs. But' that did not keep "intruders from his rooms. Scarcely had he 'left the hotel, in » company with his aunt, than two smiling young people, with shrewd eyes watching out for spies, slipped quietly along the corridor and one of them, the girl, produced a key and quickly gained entrance t othe locked rooms, "Here we are, Tubby," Myrtle said, as they reached their goal and locked the door behind then. But after all their errand was of no moré sinister intent than to look at the French dolls, which still satin a gorgeous row on the sofa. At least, that was what Myrtle, the chambermaid, wanted. Tubby, the bell- boy, his alert mind longing for some- thing more exciting, was opening and" shutting the drawers of the 2ehiffon- fer. "Hey, Tubby, don't you or that!" «the girl cried out. "It's no harm for me to feast my eyes on these dolly- babies, but I won't stand for your snooping around in any of the rooms that I have charge of." "Gee, Myrt, don't be a lemon.

I don't believe he'd ever miss it." "No, I'm scared to do that: And the one I want--"" "Which one do you want? "This. This dark-haired beauty. Oh, my, but she's a peach! Not the prettiest of all, maybe--"" "Not much, she isn't! That yellow- top puts it all over her!" "Well, I don't know. "This was Mr. Folsom"s favorite. He used to talk to this one," "Did he?

Cautiously Myrtle opened the a crack, saw that the hall was or pass key. g "Myrtle was one of the most trust- worthy chambermaids on the staff, and never she been false to the trust, nor entered a room except on her legitimate errands, until she had fallen under the spell of the wonder-| ful dolls.

Then came his sudden an terrible death, and from that time on the girl had snatched any opportunity she cotld get to hang over and fuss with the dolls, Yet she was too afraid of the vague "Why, he talked to it almost as if 'He'd say, 'I'll have you it was alive! horror that seemed to hang round Garrett Folsom's rooms to venture in AND I'M RESPONSIBLE." "HERE, YOU! STOP THAT! I'M IN CHARGE OF THESE ROOMS yet, my beauty. --and soon!' talkin' to his sweetie!" Tubby honored the doll with a short scrutiny.

I came in hers with the fresh towels, but I' didn't spend my time here." "Didn't hang round a bit?" "Only to look at the dolls," she said, thinking it might be her oppor- tunity.
