"Mrs. Slade is still in her room, sir, but she's not alone; her Maid arrived from London last night," answered the chambermaid at the North Ecastern Hotel at Hull, when on the following morning, I mode inquiry. I had been accompanied from King's (.russ by Mabel and the po- lice -agent, Hickman, and we stood togother in the hotel corridor prior tr entering the woman's room. Hickman, whom I had all along be- lieved to be deeply implicated in the plot, if not the actual murder- er, was, I found, a clever detective of English birth, who bad for some years been an officer of the Prefec- ture of Pol=co in Vienna, but who had latterly been attached to the Austro-Hungarian Embassy in Bel - grave Square, and entrusted with the personal safety of the Emper- or's daughter. The revelations I had made utterly amazed him. By the last post on the previous night Mabel had received the letter writ- ten front Hull which merely asked foi an interview, and we had all three set forth, determined to se- cure the arrest of the writer. With that object we entered her sitting -room without a word of warning. . She was sitting at the table writ- ing, but in an instant sprang to her feet, with a cry of profound alarm. When her eyes wandered from Ma- bel to Hickman and myself, her cheeks blanched. She apparently guessed our purpose. "1'ou have expressed a desire to meet rue," Mabel said deteruiined- ly. "So I have come to you." "And—and these gentlemen?" Edna inquired, glancing at us, puz- zled. "They are present to bear what you have to say to me." She was taken aback. "I—I have nothing to say to your Highness," the woman faltered. "I merely wished to know whether, when in London, I might call." "Then listen." exclaimed Mabel. ''The truth is known, and it is use- less fur you to further conceal it. If you have nothing to say, Mr. iiickrnan w ill at once call in the police, and I shall charge you with the murder of the erince." "The uoirder of the Prince :" she gasped. +-.lute, to the lips.

I lost all knowledge of the past, and from the moment of my recovering conscious- ness commenced an entirely new life. This extended through the tang period, nearly six years, until I had struck my bead against the marble statue in the drawing -room at Denbury, when my brain, re- stored again to its normal capacity, "We trust arrest them," said Hickman, briefly. "Such a pair of villains trust not be allowed to go scot free."
