"With the daggers -oh, yes. I said
to myself that it. my George did not

.you say -Jersey, oh, yrs, would be en-
raged, and I would have trouble. I
took the stiletto to save myself."
"How did you got into the house?"
"Walt, ab, wait! 1 did not dunce all
that night. I said I was `ill, and I
.came uways. I took the daggers and
.a cloak, and I went to the square -it is
not far from my houses" -
"No. You just turn the corner of
the street" said Brendon. "Well?"
"I walked by the walls. It was aft-
•er 10 o'clocks. I walk round and
round the squares, and I then sec n
red lights. The door open -it was
open, and many people came out of
the houses. The fat lady was on the
:steps, waving her hands -so," Lola
waved her hand. "A crowd was
.around. I came into the crowd, and
When the fat lady was down shaking
-with the handshake I did,slip into the
house."
"That was clever of you," said
•George, wondering at the dexterity
with which Lola had managed to en-
ter without exciting suspicion. "And
then whnt did you do? Did you meet
.any one?"
"Ah, but no. I ran • tato a place.
There was a room with a light, and
that 1 did go into" -
"Mrs. Jersey's sitting room," mur-
mured George. "Yrs?"
"I was afraid to be thrown out my
dear, and I hided behind a curtain of
the window. The fat Indy she did
come in and close the door. She talk-
ed to herself of Lord Darrington Mill-
ing, and did. scent enraged at hila wish-
ing to come -you understand?"
"Yes. What then?"
"She took frontsa box" -
"A green Lex. Loki?"
"Yes, a green box -she did take a
blue envelope, turd she looked at a pa-
per -n white paper she took from the
envelope. She laughed, and said tlutt
miler would love to have this. I say
to my se,f behind the curtains: 'It is the
confessions, I will have it.' Then she
did put It in the enreloites and leave it
on the tables. it was near me. I
could steal" -
"And you did!" said George impa-
tiently.
"But no, my George. I did try, and
madame she saw my arm. With n cry
she leaped to the doors, 1. come out
and soy that I wish to talk. of the
deaths of Monsieur Vanes. She turns
most white, and did not cry no more.
Then she ask me what I want, 1 told
Madame I was of San Itemno, and did
talk of my dear,mother. apd of Ler love
for Monsieur Vane. But this pig wo-
mane insult my mother. I become en-
raged, 1 brlug my dagger and wave it
so." Attain Lola made Ia dramatle ges-
ture. "I say that I kill her. She fall
on, her knees and hide her fuce. Then
I did take the confessions out of the
blue envelopes and hide it." ,
"That Was very clever of you, Lola.
Did Mrs. Jersey see?"
"Ab, but no she did not. I take it
'when she was with the eyes covered.
Then hauling all what I ryas desired,
and seeing her so afraid, I had the con-
tempt look you. 1 say, `There, there.'

Finally he hit on p solution of the
dilieulty. "If you do not give it to me
it will be taken from you When you

"Ah, but will it?" cried Lola, wide

"Certainly, an! will probably be pub-

"Afterward we went to Paris, and
from that place Percy wrote to tell his

the letter was given to me to post,
and I opened it. 1 never gave it 'ti

Percy's mistake in not telling where

a lot of good. I should not now be
writing in this house but for that
lucky omission. Lord Derriugton
would have nothing to do with his

masterly manner and contrived to see
Percy without his seeing me and with-
out exciting too openly the jealousy of
:1e'orgc Bates.
"But it was the horrid girl that
caused Ine pain. 'She was one of the
daughters of General Iloward, whout
Percy had met at Como. The two girls
both laid themselves out to catch my
darling. But their arts did not succeed
at ('onto. Jenny was the one who tried
hardest to get him, but Violet took her
chance also, When they came to San
Mento they stopped at the Ilotel d'An-
gleterre. I looked after their room,
and, knowing what they were, I made
myself their friend. They knew ole as
the former nurse of Perey's little son
and wondered how I came to bo .a
housemaid, 1 told some story which

They believed hi me thoroughly, an'i
they found out that I loved Percy.
Then they were amused, and 1 hated
them for It. They told Percy thnt I
was matching hint, and lie came to the
hotel no more. But I still pretended
to be their friend for my own ends.
There was a masked ball coaling off,
and the Miss Ifowards wished to go
unbeknown to their father. I entered
htto the spirit of the joke. I procured
them two blue dominos and each a
sprig of yellow holly so that they
might know one another. They went
to the bait thus disguised. -
"I went niso in the same dress. I
had got a third blue domino, and I also
wore a sprig of Holly. In my pocket I
took a stiletto. Why dirt I do that?
Because I was determined to kill any
one who tried to make love to my Per-
cy.' I knew that Jenny Iloward, the
little cart, would try to get him to
love, her, and 1 would have killed her
with pleasure heti she become Perey's
bride. As 1 was masked, I bad no fear
of being discovered should I stab any

be charged with the crime,
"About the stiletto. 1 received that
from a low shopkeeper called Velez,
rt•lto was 1n love with Percy. She and
her husband kept an oil shop, and her
husband was very jealous of her. She
was -madly in love with Percy, as 1
found out viten buying something at
her shop, and I got to know her in-
timately.
"I heard Percy propose to marry
Jeeny, and 1 was minded tht'n to kill
her. I drew the stiletto from my
breast and would have rushed for-
ward, hotting to escape in the 0011 -
fusion when I killed her. But my
heart failed me; even wUeu she was
left alone toy heart failed nee. Jenny
took off her mask, and I left her sit-
ting waiting for Percy's rcturu. Then
1 followed Percy and saw Violet join
him. I knew it was VIolet, owing to
the unmasking of Jeut'y, ttud, more-
over, 1 had seen Violet listening, as I
Was. She loved him also—the cut!
However, I HOW that she wanted to
get Percy out of the place by making
