I had both the motive and the opportunity to ac- complish it, and the circumstances were, to say the least, indicative. “To my surprise, this manservant, Btaley, came forward to establish the fact that the wine-cellar was little less than a straw-rick, and this Metro- politan police officer appeared to say that he had seen the hansom leaving Lord Winton's door the fire was discovered. These facts indicated the truth of my statement. “A further fact brought out by my legal advisers established with ma-' ipockets and presented thematical accuracy the fact that I had not dealt Lord Winton the blow that ejected him out of life. The wound had been made with the small _blade of a knife. ““The police found in my pocket a knife with a small blade, a blade of about the width of the wound. No ‘evidence of blood was found on this knife, but the police professed to be- had been carefully washed. They thought traces of ‘moisture remained on it. The case - seemed convincing, I myself realized Ats gravity, and but for one fact a “conviction might have followed. “The autopsy showed that the wound which had caused the death ‘of Lord Winton was seven inches deep. The handle of the knife with | 'which it had been accomplished had not entered the wound. The wound shortly before | | | |HE SAID, ! that person went on the “YOU PURCHASED, MONSIEUR," “A THING. THAT. YOU ALREADY POQST‘SS" he did not movn, and his oxproualon changed. “You amaze me,” he said. “Upon what mission from this mysterious person could you come to me?"” “Upon the same mission,” replied the Prefect of Police, “with which fatal night to Lord Winton's house in Covent Garden, Lord Winton promised to do a certaif thing for this, as you call it, ‘mysterious person’ He died before it could be carried out, and I have now come to you to fulfill it. I trust, monsfeur, that you will not deny me.” Monsieur Jonquelle rose. a folded, legal paper out of it to He took his Lord Valleys. “Monsieur,” he sald, ‘“Lord Win- ton promised to execute this inden- ture, He died before his signature could be attached to it. I must ask you to execute it in his stead.” Suddenly, as once before on this morning, Lord Valleys, who had been seated the instant before, was now, with no motion that seemed visible to the eye, standing on his feet. Heé came forward, took the paper which Monsieur Jonquelle held in his hand, and going over to the table, unfolded it and stooped over it. He was some time in an inspection of the document, and in the meantime Monsieur Jon- quelle had made a gesture, as one of flicking the ashes from a cigarette through the open window into the Bois de Boulogne. The two young was no longer than the width of the |men in their animated discussion in- small knife-blade at its exterior point.” ‘ Lord Valleys suddenly extended his band, like one who puts down some- thing that is finished. . “And I was therefore acquitted ». . . You know, monsieur, what the English law-courts say: ‘A man may Hle, but circumstances cannot.’ T may have lied, and Lord Winton's man- ‘servant and the Metropolitatn police + who saw the hansom drive away on that night; but the science of mathe- | matics could not lie. © A wound seven inches deep could not be made with & knife-blade four inches long. And the case ended.” "~ He went over to a table, got a tor- . tolse-shell box delicately inlaid .with gllver, opened it and presented it to Monsieur Jonquelle, . “You will have a cigarette, sleur?” he said. Monsteur Jonquelle took the cigar- “ette, and Lord Valleys went back to the chair. mon- | You stand | staltly crossed the street and entered the house. , Presently Lord Valleys rose from his stooped posture. He was shaken with astonishment, but there was of this astonishment no visible element either in his appearance or in his voice. “Monsieur,” he said, ‘this is a deed drawn by an English solicitor, con- veying all of lLord Winton's estates in England to his granddaughter, Bar- bara Westridge. Why, monsieur, should I convey these estates to this American girl? They have de- scended to me by inheritance. One does not alienate his lands without a cause.” “T will suggest a reason,” replied Monsieur Jonquelle. *“This is in ac- cordance with Lord Winton's promise. now in Lord Winton's stead, and as 1 have said, you have received his benefits, and you should assume his obligations.” Lord Valleys smiled—that vague Then suddenly, as out of some in- smile which semed not to disturb the the man's voice eciting memory, voice changed. “A moment ago, monsieur, when I ‘mentioned the arrival of the visitor| at Lord Winton's house, and the doubt of the English court of that fact, you said it was true. How do you know that it was true, if T may e permitted to inquire?” The Prefect of Police balanced the elgarette a moment in his fingers be- fore he replied. “I know your statement about the hansom is true, monsieur, because I | know who it was that came to Lord Winton on that night. And, mon- sleur, it is on behalf of this pfl‘sol\ that 1 have come to you today." Lord Valleys was astonished, [ ———t————— ~ WILL ANSWER ANY WOMAN WHO WRITES Woman Restoredto Health byLydia | E.

He had the aspect of a creature of great strength, concerned always with con- cealing it. He was puzzled and dis- turbed, but his voice did not change. “You know, then, the assassin of Lord Winton?" “I do,” replied the Prefect. I name him to you?"” The man made again the vague gesture with his white, steel fingers. “You may keep the secret of the name, monsieur,” he said, “if you will be kind enough to tell me the thing that indicated to you the name.” “With pleasure,” replied Monsieur Jonquelle. “You have said that the | English criminal courts are stupid, and I have concurred in that opinion. Observe, monsieur, the evidence of that stupidity. This criminal court could not understand how a knife- blade four inches long could inflict a direct wound seven ' inches deep. They measured the knife-blade and the wound, these English, and wrote it down impossible. But you, monsieur, who are Siav, and I who am Latin, would hardly arrive at this conclusion. For we would reflect that a knife-blade four inches long, driven into the soft tissues of the body compressed together by the im- pact of.a powerful blow might easily “Shall in length behind it—when that com- pression was released and the tissues relaxed.
