Bagot Harte. CHAPTER (Continued.) “By looking through the window of the jeweler’s shop at Arlington, where the man sits so that every one pass- ing can see him at work. Twice or three times every day I passed and looked carefully at him. At last, one day, I passed and noticed that he was putting a chain to some sleeve links, so I walked into the shop and began asking the man about cleaning my watch, and then, in a chance-like way, I took notice of the links and admired them; and so he told me that they were Sir George Ellingham’s and that he was putting a new chain to them; lucky not to lose the links as he’d lost the chain to them, and to explain the reason of that he showed me that they’d got a little patent catching ar- rangement at the back that had kept them from falling out of the cuffs, and, too, he pointed out to me that the chain was of a curious make. I was awfully obliged to him for telling me all this, and I went out of the shop feeling that I’d taken the first real step towards finding out what I'd been sent down from Scotland Yard to discover. But you don’t know, sir, how cautiously you have to work in my profession. Not so much as a word, only just a look, has often given a criminal warning that has been suf- ficient to send him across the seas, never to return. Having made the first step, I next began to make in- quiries about where Sir George was and what he’d done on the night of the murder. Evidence was easy to get on that head. I'd only to sit in the Arlington Arms in the evening, and just to treat first the groom and foot- men of the Towers and then some of the men sorvants from Carlton Park, and then I began to feel pretty sure of my ground. Next I got hold of one of Lady Pennant’s footmen, and treat- ed him a bit liberally with spirits and got him to rub up his memory. It was he who let out how Sir George had walked home by himself and Mr. Er- skine followed a few minutes after. Well, sir, the next step in the tragic night’s adventures that I could trace was their arrival together at Arling- ton Towers.” “Yes, I have heard that Sir George stayed there the night. What suit did he wear when he left the next morn- ing?” asked Reggie. “A suit of your brother’s, and not a soul has ever set eyes on the evening suit he wore the night before. I found out that it had just come from Poole’s the very day before, and we all know that gentleman don’t throw away new suits for no reason at all. One day I got into conversation with Mr. Er- skine’s valet, and asked him if he’d any idea what ’ad become of it. ‘Burnt; and what he burnt it for good- ness only knows,’ lie answered. But T’d begun to feel pretty sure myself what he’d done it for by that time. Well, now, the next thing I wanted to get hold of was some part of that burnt evening suit. So on moonlight nights I went to the rubbish pile at Arlington Towers and hunted about in it “And what did you find?” “Several buttons with Poole’s name on them that looked as if they’d been in the fire. And to several of those buttons there was some burn’t cloth hanging. These pieces of cloth were analyzed, and the buttons, too, were chemically examined, and, sure enough, human blood was found on both. What do you think of that for evidence. Was it not enough to ar- rest a man for?” “Yes, indeed it was!” Reggie. “And can’t you imagine how mad I was, after the trouble I'd taken in tracing it all out, to find the ground cut from under my feet and Mr. Er- skine making me look like one of the biggest fools in the world by saying he was the murderer?” “Yes, I can well imagine that you must have felt greatly annoyed.” “Of course, sir, the evidence that I got together is miles better than noth- ing. But without corroborative evi- dence it doesn’t amount to much. It’s had the flattest contradiction possible by Mr. Erskine claiming to have com- mitted the murder.” exclaimed CHAPTER XXVIII “If it were not for your comforting powers, Audrey, I believe I should go mad,” exclaimed Reggie, ceasing for a moment to pace up and down the drawing room of their flat at Kensing- ton Palace, where they were spending their honeymoon. having canceled their passages to South America after the failure of Guy’s execution. “Then come and sit down at my side and let us talk rationally over mat- ters, and allow those comforting pow- ers to have full play.” “Talk rationally! But how can a fellow talk rationally, or act rational- ly, when a dozen contending infiu- ences are at work on his actions, and he is in terrible fear that he may make a hash of everything by saying a wrong word? And, after all, I don’t know if Guy won’t eb ragingly angry at me for trying to upset his deeply- 2 Se een laid idiotic plans to make Hilda’s life clear sailing.” “My dear man, instead of being rag- ingly angry he will be ragingly happy if you can secure his release from prison,” interrupted Audrey, “and help him to marry her. What man who has been madly in love with a girl for years would not be enchanted at be- coming her husband? Really, I be- lieve that your wife understands men and their hearts better than you do. Do you mean to tell me that you hon- estly believe Guy would be ragingly angry if he were to have an oppor- tunity of kissing Hilda?” “Well, since you put it like that, I don’t suppose that he would,” said Reggie, sitting down on the arm of his wife’s chair and proceeding to kiss her. “I know I would not if you were in Hilda’s place and I was in his—by Jove, no! But you see, Audrey, one of the first things I must prove is that she has neyer been Ellingham’s legal wife. Don’t you understand what a painful position I shall be placing her in?” “I admit it is trying; but, after all, no one can ever say that she herself was a party to the illegality of the po- sition. Under any circumstances you are honorably bound not to retain the wedding certificate of Sir George’s marriage with Margaret Searle, but to hand it over to the family lawyer.” “Of course, I know I must. But I’m annoyed that the very first thing I have to do in the matter will benefit us. I believe that Guy would rather remain in penal servitude himself, and that Hilda retained Carlton Park and we retained Arlington Towers, than that her unfortunate position was ever known. Of course, he dees not sus- pect that she cares for him, but I have a shrewd idea that she does. How- ever, I don’t want to fee! myself the recipient of all-round detestation.” “T shouldn’t care in the slightest about the all-round detestation. All you have to do is to act as straight and 2s honorably as you can, and not to heed what Guy wants or does not want. Do not let another moment be wasted in believing you are not acting for the best. Let us get everything righted as quickly as possible and our- selves free from care. It is certainly strange that we have not heard from Hilda in answer from my last letter. But that does not matter—nothing matters so long as we do what we ought and what is right.” “And what do you propose our do- ing now?” “Now? Well, as it is six o'clock, don’t you think it would be nice to tel- ephone to a theater and take stalls for this evening? I am strongly in fa- vor of distraction, especially when a man is talking calmly about going mad, as you were just now.” “To talk of going to the theater is distinctly talking on a wiser theme. Tl act on the idea at once and try to forget the tragedy of ur lives for an hour or two.” Reggie strode out of the room as he spoke. As he approached the lift a lady stepped out of it and came in his di- rection. “Hilda!” he exclaimed, in astonish- ment. “Yes,” she replied. “I thought it would save time to come to you, as I have important news to tell you.” No need to ask to what that impor- tant news referred. Reggie guessed intuitively that it was in connection with proving Guy’s innocence, and he at once turned and walked back with her to their flat. “Hilda, what has happened?” ex- claimed Audrey. “Something impor tant, I know. Tell me quickly, dear.” “I have been doing hateful work!” was the impetuous reply. “I have been putting the police on the track of old Searle’s murderer.” “But how have you managed to do that?” inquired Reggie. “Looking through George’s papers, I came upon an entry which I was cer- tain referred io the three ten-pound Bank of England notes that he gave to Searle. I was impatient to place the fact at once in the right quarter, so came to London and went to Scotland Yard and spoke to an official there. To my intense surprise, I found that the very bank notes are at Scotland Yard, amongst the stolen goods found on prisoners. They were found on Jim Stoakes, the man who robbed you, Audrey.” “Another important clue in support of Guy’s innocence,” said Reggie, in an exultant voice. “But how?” asked Hilda. “Don’t you see that the fact of Ell- ingham knowing the numbers of these notes proves conclusively that he must have given them to Searle? And ey- erything that proves his connection with the Searles is of most material help to us. But nothing shall be hur- ried on, Hilda, unless you wish it.” “Oh, but I do wish it!” she exclaim- ed. “You have no idea how very anx- ious I am that Guy’s innocence shail be quickly proved. Don’t give my feel- ing’s a moment’s thought. Forget my existence and let us all work hand-in- hand in the matter of securing his im- mediate release. Carleton Park is no longer my home. It is yours.” “No! Not until everything in con- nection with Sir George's life has been investigated and all proved beyond any shadow of doubt. Of course, you have heard that the poor child died yester- day?” “Yes,” said Reggie, briefly. “And, of course, my dear little boy —” began Hilda; then, stopping sud- denly, she turned away and walked to the window. No one should see her glistening eyes. Just a moment in which to steady herself, just a moment in which to enable her to thrust thoughts of child and self into the background of her mind; then she was once more a brave, all-sacrificing woman. “Everything is to be rushed through by my especial wish,” she said, quiet- ly. “You have no doubt, then, George’s guilt?” asked Audrey. “IT have none.” It was bitterly said. “Standing out vividly in my mind,” continued Hilda, after a moment’s pause, “are many remarks and ac- tions that point to his guilt. Among others, his attempt to escape from Ar- lington on the night that he met with the accident. Of course he is guilty. Of course he murdered that woman, his real wife!” Now she was speaking rapidly and excitedly. He said that it was entirely to screen me that he} did so, and Guy took upon himself the guilt of it, also to screen me. Was ever woman a cause of greater un- happiness to others than I have been? I shall not know a single moment’s peace or unhappiness until Guy is re- leased. Reggie, will you do all you possibly can to secure this happy end in the shortest possible time?” Readily that promise was given. Expeditiously it was acted upon, and yet more expeditiously did the po- lice proceed to work up evidence that proved Jim Stoakes to be the mur- derer of old Searle. Cobb was reinstated at Scotland Yard andl selected to collect evidence at Dainton that might be of use in proving Stoakes’ guilt. Amongst oth- er evidence, he discovered that a man answering the suspected man’s de- scription had presented one of the stolen bank notes to the landlord of the Royal Arms on the day of Searle’s murder, and asked to have it cashed. Speedily all evidence was being col- lected now. With staggering quick- ness Hilda realized that her wishes were being carried out, and that soon her own painful position would be known far and wide. Even now the matter was leaking out, and some peo- ple, with superlative want of tact, were beginning to hesitate before ad- dressing her as Lady Ellingham. “After all,” she said, bitterly, to her- self, “they are right in hesitating; for who am I save Hilda Jocelyn?” (To Be Continued.) of Sir Fully Protected. Pat Casey and his friend Michael Cassidy were unloading the van in their usual haphazard fashion, and were handling one barrel very care- lessly. “Hi, there,” said the man in charge of the job. “Be very careful with that. It’s gunpowder.” “An’ phwy?” queried Pat, taking the opportunity of an instant’s rest and an argument. “Why should we handle gunpowder with such partic’lar ca-are?” “Well, don’t you know that 2 barrel of that same gunpowder exploded last year, and blew ten men to smither- 2” roared the foreman. “Oh, then, be aisy,” said Pat. “Sure, it couldn’t do that now!

But if she has a fiery temper and bombshell disposition, like mine, I shall call her Dinah Might.” It depends Brutalizing Telephones. The telephone is having a brutaliz- ing influence. The sensative-minded man, who would shrink from saying a disagreeable thing in ordinary conver- sation, when talking over the tele- phone will speak his mind as bluntly, and argue as roughly as does an ordi- nary business man, and finding the path of brutality less painful than he imagined, becomes as truculent when not talking on the telephone.
