" What does the way in which I spent

you?" said Jack, sharply, "I went to
bed."
To beds Leaving that body as a
pleasant surprise to your wife when
she woke! H'm—and you shot an un-
armed man. Rad you a grudge against
her ?" he asked, suddenly.
Jack made no reply.
"Where is she ?" said Mr. Skew -
ton.
"Upstaiz'rg,"
" You had had a conversation to-
gether since this—occurrence 1"
"Not one syllable." •
"H'm," said Mr. Skewton, "then she
does not know who did it ?"
" Yes,—sbe knows."
" She knew," said Mr. Skeleton, keen-
ly, " that you might have had a mo-
tive for killing this young man?"
"Yes."
He said it defiantly, and as .if he
had put shame for her miles away from
himself.
Mr. Skewton went out softly, called
a subordinate whom he left outside
the drawing-roomi door, and ascended
to the suite of rooms above.
He had already visited them, but now
after a glance at the quiet figure, on
the bed,he stepped up to the toilet -
table."

off, but collar still, round his throat,
his watch and money lying about.
What's this? An envelope and no post-
mark—a woman's writing of course,
a woman who is probably in the
house."
He went down to the drawing -room
with the letter in his hand.
" This is your wife's hand -writ-
ing ?" he said, "Mr. Ross evidently+
received this after he came in last.
night."
The young husband turned. He seem-
ed to have shrunk in his clothes and Mr.
Skewton was answered instantly by
the pale look on his face—a look aghast
terrible, and which illumined and con-
firmed the theory that the detective
had set up, perhaps, disappointing him
not a little, as at firet sight there had
seemed to be stranger circumstances
in the case.
" After all," he thought, contempt-
uously, " it was a very simply mur-
der, simple in its motive and clumsy
in its accomplishment, and the course
of justice will be swift and easy, so
that no possible kudos can be attach-
ed to any detective concerned in it."
How could he tell through what
furnaces of agony Jack was passing as
he stood with back turned to him mo-
tionless as a stone?
That bitter cry out of Scripturewas
ringing in his ears, that cry out of
the far ages, that will ring on for
ever, " And itwas even thou—mine own
familiar friend. "
"A splendid fellow," thought the de-
tective, mentally measuring his inches,
"but who would have thought him cow-
ard enough to shoot an unarmed
man?"
indignant anger, then turned fiercely
on the man who stood there in the
narrow way, forcing himself upon her
to her own chamber. A sudden sense
of the publicity in which she must
henceforth live, smote on her chillily,
and she felt that the sanctity of her
home was gone, and privacy for her no
longer existed.
"If any one is to be arrested," she
said curtly,, "arrest me. If anyone
in this house is guilty, I am that
person."
"How did you do it?" he said,
smoothly and raising his voice a little;
"do you always carry firearms?"
She had set her face as a flint, but
she could not keep the look out of
her eyes that told him what he want-
ed to know. He 'caught also an ex-
pression in Rose's face that he stor-
ed up for future unravelling.
"Mrs. St. George did not do it," he
said to himself, "but her maid knows
something about it. Then there is
the skylight." Aloud he said, and pro-
duct/1g an envelope from his pocket:
"Mr. Ross received a letter trona
you last night ?'
"He did."
"It was delivered by one of your
servants?
"By my maid."
"Mr. Ross was not in, ma'am," said
Rose, "anti I placed the letter on his
dressing -table."
• "NNhere he found it at midnight
ar later," said the detective ,to him-
self.
Mr.. Russ was a friend of yours?"
he said.
"Ile was," she said, coldly ; "but is
this quite the place in which to cate-
chize me?"
"If you .wUl come down," he said
calmly, "I will ask my questions un-
der mare favorable circumstances."
But she shrank back, and shook her
head determinedly.
"When' you come to take me away
to prison I will go down," she said,
"but not till than."
And she made as through she would
shut the door in his face.
"Softly,"- he sa'd, not rudely. or of-
tetnsively, and indeed his manner had
not been wanting; in respect from the
first, "if you will not come downs
thee. I must speak to you here. You
corresponded with Mr. Barry ?"
"I did."
"Unknown to your hu' band?"
"Unknown to my husband."
"I may venture to inquire your
subject ?
"You may not."
Suddenly he stepped back, and
through the folding -doors, looking
around with a glance that embraced
everything, especially the window that
Jack had left open overnight, and
which was open still. Beneath it was
part of the roof of. the dining -room,
and beyond it, and a eine lx rth: a
large expanse of leads, bounded by the
windowless backs. of the houses in a
by -street that ran at right angles with
the leads.
Windowless? Ay, but in the .b:rick-
tiled sloping roof of one of these
houses the quick eye of Mr. Skewton
detected a single skylight, shut, it is
true, but more. than wide enough to
admits the body of a man, while the
drop to the leads below was not mora
than twenty feet. '" The window open,
and a skylight in another house by
which any one could get in here, and
go all over the house," said Mr. Skew-
ton to himself, "" if. it were not; for

riveted to the skylight, "it won't.

He had the more reason: to believe
himself correct in this supposition,
when in the course of his travels round
the room, he discovered and prompt-
ly annexed something that, however
b;unlble in itself, was destined to play
an important part in the drama that
had, yet to he played out.
