And if he does that, pan't you see,” cried Wiliy, despairing- ly, ‘the Anarchists will kill him, unless they are captured. So I have told Billy to,inform the inspector of everything. Then the police can surround the tower and arrest the Anarchists when they come out.” Before midnight the family had as- @embled in the summer house. At length two tall figures were, seen crossing the lawn in @ rapid and stealthy manner. The next moment Berkoff was among the party in the summer house, and with him was Newby. "How did you escape?” asked Dor- othy. Searcely were the words out of her mouth before the tower seemed to dis- solve before their eyes in a furnace of red flame.” Throughout the night the police worked to get out the bodies of the Anarchists, who had thus been pun- ished by their own wicked villainy, Hallon and Beskoff were talking to- gether as they crossed the grounds. “| Heard a Groan!” “Hullo!” said Hallon, interrupting un- expectedly. “1 heard a groan.” He looked round, and so did Beskoft. ome distance away, and on the other side of the manx«led thicket, the twe men found the body of Mrs. Broll, “Ie he dead?" she asked faintly “Is who dead’ “Sir John Newby." “You mean Richard? “No, 1 don't.

All this time Julla had sat with her eyes fixed on Sir John. “I can prove that Sir John {s tnno- ent,” she sald in her flat voice. “Walt!” Weird Evidence, She went out of the door and reap- peared so quickly with the gramophone that it could be guessed she had brought it beforehand into the hail, Placing this on the ‘able, she produced a disc from her pocket and put !t in order. Then she set the machine going. All watched her, much astonished and interested, wondering what she meant, But the astonishment became greater when the shrill voice of Mrs. Broll was heard to proceed from the machine. She was speaking to a man who had a deep volce, and replied. to her at intervals. he broken conversation ran as fol- lows: “Don't go to Russta,” sald Mrs. Broll, until you find out who wrote the Jet- Dress as John and keep the ap- It you can sllence this per- 1 the better.” ter. pointment, son, whoefer he Is, “And it I don't votce, at the sound of which Sir John Newby started, “That is Richard's voice," orled Newby, then held his breath, “I don't want to Kill John,” said Richard's voice, “Then I aball,” retorted the voice of Mrs. Broll Newby rose hurriedly, and inter- rupted the machine. “Do you mean to say that Mrs. Broll killed my brother?” he asked Julia rapidly in the deag- unemotionally, “in mistake for you.” The others stopped the twe epeaking, and the machine went on to the end of the conversation, Then Julia pro- duced another disc, and that related sufficient to show that Mrs. Broll, in conversation with Richard, hed ‘an- nounced her intention of beguiling Sir John to the Cuckoo's Grove by means of the anonymous letter, and there kill- ing him with the knife taken from the brary, She hoped to put 'e blame on the Anarchists, The Plot, But it so hay ned by chance, or by the design of idence, that Richard arrived on the before his brothe: While he was leaning over the stile Mrs, Broll, deceived by the dress and by ‘the somewhat dim Nght, came stealthily behind and drove her knifo into his back. ‘Then she dropped the weapon and fled, Of course, Miss Flint had never an- ticipated murder.
