It t# an interesting hypothesis, and 1 shor be giad to consider It at some lengt But it seems to require no extended @eductions to conclude it, Wo have shown that the mystertous visitor who called on Dernburg last nieht was not his assassin, becaus the evidences which seem so to indicate were laid down by design and did hot come about by aceldent. They were Isid down by the Intention of fome perso: some person wh: wished to establish that this visttor was the assassin But the visitor himself could not have wished establish that he was the asnassdin consequentiy he could not have made these Indicatory evidences, and therefore he was not the aamesin of Dernburg Pasha.” He paused. “And now, monstenur, as T was the visttor who called on Dernbure Pasha last night, it must that I was not the an struck him down.

I wish you could have been there that bright morning when I first rode out acroas the field on that machine. You've heard how curious the Indians were; well, all around that dyke, no matter which way I looked, was a row of Indian heads, pop ping up, eyes big as saucers, mouths agape, staring at the strange sight “The machine had four long arms which turned over and over and cut the grain, which the rake left in tong winnows thru the big field.” “Ont” Mrs. Cathoun suddenly recalled something else. “Sp | ing of their curiosity over new things, I remember I had a guest who had a set of fulne teeth.

Dernburg came here, took this house, car ried forward his undertaking until he had stored the squares under this drawing-room with false cotna. Then when he had finished—-when he had got the coins molded, gold-plated and hidden, ready for the business f thelr distribution, I called on him last night! It was my voice that was heard outside, I showed him that he was at the end of his tether that the house was guarded; and I came away leaving open to him the only escape he had. He effected that me with @ razor drawn across his throat.” Monsieur Jonquelle voice firm, even and unburried, “You appeared, monsleur, a Iittle later, and seeing an opportunity to obtain an indéemnity from France for @ murdered subject of your coun try, put the razor into your pocket and clumsily daubed the white «quares of thin drawing-room floor with the evidential signs of an ansansination.” Another M.
