"What was it you rememberedthat caused you to think of your uncle?" "I remembered that he had recently received sdveral anonymous letters, containing threats against his life." "Did he show you these letters?" "No; but he told me about them, I believe they carne from the friends of some men whom he had sentenced to the penitentiary. He didn't take them very •seriously. In fact, he—" "I see. Tell us what you found, please, when you entered the study." The girl's fingers twisted together in excessive nervousness. She lifted her eyes momentarily, glanced appeal- ingly at the faces around her, and lowered them again. "I—it is very difficult to tell you about it. It was so—so horrifying! I saw uncle sitting at his desk. I called his name. He didn't answer. And. then I saw he was dead!" The last three words were uttered in a whisper. "What did you do then?" asked the coroner. "I screamed, as loudly as I could. After that, I suppose I must have fainted. 1 knew nothing more till I woke up in bed." ., "Miss Blackburn," said the deputy coroner, "to your knowledge, who was the last person with your uncle before his death?" "I think it was Mr. Mcl inlock." "Now then, do you knew- whether or not your uncle and Mr. Mc1inlock quarrelled?" "He called on Uncle Rufus twice last night.

She spoke, with evident fear, as if dreading what woe to follow, "I'll now ask you," said the .droner, handing her the sheet of papee, '3f you wrote the message contained thereon." She read the crude words, and when she handed the note back, tee color had gone from her face. "No!" she gasped, "1 ne er tate it before." "Dn you know who might have written it?" "I can't imagine! It's too horrible! I can't. understand—" She ztopped suddenly and .asked: "Wan itat note found in uncle's study?" "Yes; on his desk." "Who found it?" The coroner hesitated, deliberating his answers "Both the note and the. revolver' he said at last, "were found by Mr. Quinn." For the first time, she looked at Quinn, and the despairing reproach in her eyes seared him to the soul. He realized inn flash of agony the thought that must surely be in her mind, And there was nothing he could do—nothing he could say. Sud- denly he uttered a sharp exclamation and sprang forward.
