� e Mystery at a Ram Cat
By FERGUS W. Hu*E,
TO 13E CONTINUED.
"Where's Mother Guttersnipe,"
asked the detective sharply.,• touch-
ing ken with hie foot, an indignity
she resented with a malignant
lance, and arose quickly to her
feet. ,
"Upstai•rs," sire replied, jerking
her head in the direction of the
right wall, in which Salton, his
eyee being more accustomed to the
flickering light of the candle, could
see a gaping black chasm, which he
presumed was the stair alluded to.
"You won't get much out of her to-
night—she's a goin' to start 'er
booze, she is."
"Never mind what she's doidg,"
said Killip, sharply; "take me to
her at once."
Dpa girl gave him a sullen look,
and with reluctant feet led the way
into tbe black chasm and up the
stairs, which were so shaky that
Calton was in terror lest they shou:d
be precipitated into unknown depths.
He held on firmly to his compan-
ion's arm, as they toiled slowly up
the broken steps,and at last stopped
et a door, through the cracks of
which a faint glimmer of light could
l,e ssen. Here the girl gave a shrill
v histle, and the door opened as it
by magic. Still preceded by their
elfish guide, Calton and the detec-
tive stepped through the doorway,
and a curious scene was presented
to their view. It was a small,
square room, with a low roof, ftoni
which the paper•,mildewed and torn,
hung in tatters; on the left hand, at
the far end, was a kind of low
stretcher, „ upon which a woman,
almost naked, was lying, aniid a
heap of frowsy, greasy clothes. She
appeared to be ill, for she kept .her
head:tossing from side to side rest-
lessly imbed every now and then sang
snatereeh of old songs in a 'shrill,.
cracked voice. I'n the centre of tbe,
roam was a rough deal table, ups""
which stood a guttering ;tellow.'i
eandle,which but faintly illuminated -
the scene, and a half empty, squarb
bottle of scnapps, with a broken cup
beside it. In front of these signs
of festivity' •$at an old woman with
a pack of cards spread out before
her, and frons., which she had emir
dently been telling the fortune of a
villainous looking young man who
had opened the door, and who stood
looking at the detective with' no
very friendly expression of coun-
tenance. He was dressed in a greasy ,
brown velvet coat,much patched,a"d
a black wide awake hat, which was
pulled down over his eyes: .He
looked like one of those Italians
who retail ice cream on the street,o•
carry round organs with monkeys
on thein, and hie expression was Sl,
scowling and vindictive that the
barristet though it was not very

a drink out of the broken cup, and,
gathering all her greasy cards to-
gethet in a business like way,looked
- insinuatingly at Calton, with a sug-
gestive leer. °
"It's the future ye want unveiled,
dearie'l" she croaked, rapidly shuffl-
ing the cards; "an old mother 'eel
"No, she won't," interrupted the
detective, sharply, "I've come on
business."
The old woman started at thin,

"'Where is she, asked Kileipt,
sharply.
At this the old woman threw
luck hes head and bowled in- a'dis-
mal manner.
"She's 'cooked it," she wailed,
drumming on the ground with her
feet.- "Gon' an' deft, ger pore -'old
gran' an' joined the army, cuss 'em,
a -amnia' round an' a spilin' busi-
ness."
Meanwhile the detective was
talking rapidly to Mr Calton.
"The only person who can prove
Mr Fitzgerald was here between 1'
and 2 o'clock," he said quickly, "is
Sal Rawlins, as everyone else seems
to bave beeu drunk or asleep. As
she has joined the Salvation Army,
I'll go to the barracks the first thing
in the morning and look for her.'
"I hope you'll find her," answer-
ed Calton, drawing a long breath.
"A man's life hangs on her evi-
dence."
' They turned to go, Calton having
first given Mother Guttersnipe some
loose silver, which she seized on
with an avaricious clutch.
The sight of money had a genial
effect on her nature for she held the
candle at the 'head of the stairs as
they went down,so that they should
not bultak their heads.
The street door was open, and,
after groping their way along the
dal k passage, with its pitfalls, they
found themselves in the open street:
"Thank heaven," said Calten,tak-
ing off his hat anti drawing a long
breath. "Thank heaven we are
safely out of that den!"
"At all events our journey has
not been wasted," said the detective, '
as . (they walked along. "We've
foutidont where Mr Fitz:;eraltl was
the night of the tenurial., s.l he will
be safe."
"That depends upon Sal Raw-
irg," answered Calton, gravely;

purring voice, "there's a }good deal
in this ease whish don't seem plain
—in fact, the further we go into it
the snore mixed up it seems to get,
I went to see Mother Guttersnipe
this, morning, and she told me that
Whyte had visited the (Queen'
several times while she lay ill, and
seemed to be pretty well acquainted
with bar."
"But who the devil is this woman
they call the 'Queens' " said Colton,
irritably. "She seems to be at the
bottom of the whole affair—every
path we take leads to her."
"I know hardly anythigg about
her," •replied Killip, "exeept that
she was a good looking women of
about 49. She came out from Eng-,
land to Sydney a few months ago,

Mother. Guttersnipe's I can't find
out, though l've tried to pump that
old woman, but she's as close as,
wax, and it's my belief she knows
more about this d ud women than
she chooses to, tell."
"But what could she have told
Fitzgerald to make him act in this
silly manner? A stranger who Domes
from England and, dies in it .Mel-
bourne slum can't possibly know
anything about Miss Frettlby."
Kilsjp looked puzzled.
"I must confess that it is a rid-
dle," he said at length; "but if Mr
Fitzgerald would only speak, it
would clear everything up."
"Wbut about who murdered
,Whyte?'
"Well, it might not go so far as
that,but it might supply the motive
for the crime."
"I dare say you are right," an-
swered Calton, thoughtfully, as the
detective rose and put en his hat.
"Put it's no use. Fitzgerald, for
some reason or another; has evi-
dently made up his mind not to
speak, so our only hope in saving
hint lies in, finding this girl."
-"If she's anywhere in Australia
you may be sure she'll be found,"
answered Killip, confidently, as be
t,.,;l; his departure. "Australia isn't
overcrowdedas all that."

Madge fell en her knees with a
stiffled cry.
"Oh, God of mercy," she o ied,
raising her hands as if in prayer,
"save hint. Save my darling, and
let him not die for the crime of an-
other. God--"
She dropped her face in her hands
and wept convulsively, as the law
yer touched her lightly en the
shoulder.
"Come!" he said, kindly. "Be
the brave girl you were,and we may
save him yet. The hour is darkest
before .the dawn, you know."
Madge dried her tears and fellow -
en the lawyer to the cab, which was
waiting for them at the door. They
drove quickly up to the court, and
Calton put her in a quiet place,
where she could see the dock and
yet be unobserved by the people in
tba body of the court. Just as he
wen leaving ber one touched his arm.
"Tell him," ebe whispered in a
trembling voice, "tell my darling I
am here."
Calton nodded and hurried away
to put on his wig and gown, while
Madge looked hurriedly round the
court from her point of vantage. It
.was crowded with fashionable Mel-
bourne of both sexes, and they were
all talking together in subdued
whispers. The popular character
of the prisoner, his good looks and
engagement,to Madge Frettlby, to
gether with the extraordinary cir-
immatanaes cif the case, had raised
public curiosity to the highest pitch,
and, consequently, everybody who
could possibiy manage to gain ad-
mission was there.
When the prisoner was brought
is there was a great flatter among
the ladies, and some of them even
had the bad taste to produce opera
glasses. . Brian noticed this, and he
flushed up to the roots of his fair
hair, for he felt his degradation
acutely. lie was an'intensely proud
man, and to be placed in the crimi-
nal dock, with a lot of frivolous
people, who had called themselves
his friends,looking at him as though
he were a new Motor or a wild ani-
mal, was 'galling in the extreme.
