"You came downstairs at once?" "Almost immediately." "Is it true, as stated, that your brother's body was cold when you touched it?" "Yes. i remember the shock of touching it." "Has the coachman a key to this house?" "Not to my knowledge." "Were the doors and windows all locked that morning?" . "I made sure of that myself." "Did you hear any noise during the night?"

"I am sorry that I had to disturb you, but that, you know, is a part of my business which I can't avoid. Don't bother to ring; I can find my way. out" With that I slipped into the hall, closing the parlor door behind me. One .glance showed me that I was alone. The next almost convinced me that the coast was clear upstairs. In three bounds I had mounted to the first landing and, before a minute had passed, I had located the room which, from the published descrip- tions, I was sure must be the house- keeper's. I did not knock; I just pushed open the door and entered. A woman was kneeling beside the bed, crying, her face buried in the bed clothes. She leaped to her feet with a little cry. It was then my turn to be sur- prised. "Jane Haughton!" I whispered. I had known her ten years before, and ten years had only softened with- out disguising her face. In two words her tragedy had been this: She had been a poor girl sent to a rich boarding school. Her school- mates had been able to enjoy many things which she had been forced to do without. Then, in a moment of weakness, she had stolen a paltry sum from one of thein, had been detected and dismissed. Her family had dis- owned her, and I—then a bo$= at a nearby school—had heard only that she had been truly repentant, had gone to the.school chaplain and had been found by him a place in the em- ployment of some well-to-do family in New Jersey, where she was living under an assumed name, but leading an honest life. And now here she was, still beauti- ful•and about to be arrested for the murder of Emerson Pardoe! - She recognized me at once. And at once her first thought was self- preservation. "You—you won't tell!" she cried. For a reply I gripped her firmly by the wrists and dragged her to the light. "Jane," said I, fixing my eyes stead- ily upon .her splendid brown ones," as you. hope for salvation, tell me the truth: Did you do this thing?" "No, no, no!" • she cried. "Why, I didn't mean that. I—I didn't even know anybody suspected- Oh, how can you? Do you mean to say that anybody, that they: could' "Yes," I said hoarsely, "I am afraid some of them do." ' "Then I'm ruined! Utterly . ruined! Who will believe me when they know my story?" But again I fixed my eyes on. hers. "Jane," said I, "answer- my, ques- tion.

"I swear to- you before God," she said, "that. I even would have given my life to save him." • "Then," I answered, convinced, "no body need ever know you are Jane Haughton." (To be concluded.)

When the liquor is cool enough, skim off the fat, pour the liquor over the chicken, set in a cold place to harden. To serve, cut into slices and garnish with parsley or watercress.
