I donot know if any of you gentlemen are acquainted with Inspector Lyle, but if you are not, I can assure you that he is a very remarkable man. Our firm often applies to him for aid, and he has never failed us; my father has the greatest possible respect for him. Where he has the advantage over the ordinary police oficial is in the fact that he possesses imagine tion. He imagines himself to be the criminal, imagines how he would act under the same circumstances, and he imagines to such purpose that be generally finds the man he wants.

Lord Chetney’s arrival last night turned them into waste paper. You were suddenly in debtdor thousands of poundeâ€"for much more than you chuld ever possibly pay. No one knew that you and your brother had met at Madame Zichy’s. But you knew that your father was not ex- pected to outlive the night, and that if your brother were dead also, you would be saved from complete ruin, and that you would become the Marquis of Edam.’ Q I.

Horrible 1’ “Before we could stop him he sprang out of his cot and began pull- ing on his clothes. When the nurses tried to hold him down, he fought with them. - , I .1 i A_‘ “ ‘Do you think you can keep me here,’ he shouted, ‘when they are plotting to hang me? I am going with you to that house 1’ he cried at Lyle. ‘When you find those bodies I shall be beside you. It is my right. He is my brother. He has been murdered, and I can tell you who murdered him. That woman murdered him. She first ruined his life, and now she has killed him. For the last five veers she has been plotting to make herself his wife, and last night, when he told her he had discovered the truth about the Russian, and that she would never see him again, she fihw into a passion and stabbed him, and then, in terror of the gallows, killed herself. She murdered him, I tell you, and I promise you that we will find the knife she used near herâ€"per- haps still in her hand. What will you say to that l” “Lyle turned his head away and stared down at the floor. ‘I might say,’ he answered, ‘that you placed it there.’ “Arthur gave a cry of anger and sprang at him, and then pitched forward into his arms. The blood was running from the out under the bandage, and he had fainted. Lyle carried him back to the bed again, and we left him with the police and the doctors, and drove at once to the address he had given us. We found the house not three minutes’ -walk from St. George’s HospitaL It stands in Trevor Terrace, that little row of houses set back from Knightsbridge, with one end in Hill Street. _ - .11___- ӣ1 CC L. “As we left the hospital Lyle had said to me, ‘You must not blame me for treating him as I did. All is fair in this work, and if by anger- ing that boy I could have made him commit himself I was right in try- ing to do so; though, I assure you, no one-would be better pleased than myself if I could prove his theory to be correct. But we cannot tell. Everything depends upon what we see for ourselves within the next few minutes.’ - r o - I AU W LULH u LCD. “When we reached the house, Lyle broke open the fastenings of one of the windows on the ground floor, and, hidden by the trees in the garden, we scrambled in. We found ourselves in the reception-room, which was the first room on the right of the hall. The gas was still burning behind the colored glass and red silk shades, and when the daylight streamed in after us it gave the hall a hideously dissipated look, like the foyer of a theater at a matinee, or the entrance to an all- day gambling hell. The house was oppraeivdy silent, and because we knew why it was so silent we spoke in whispers. When Lyle turned the handle of the drawing-room door, I felt as though some one had put his hand upon my throat. But I,f0110wed close at his shoulder, and saw, in the subdued light of many-tinted lamps, the body of Chetney at the foot of the divan, just as Lieutenant Sears had described it. In the drawing-room we found the body of the Prinm Zichy, her am :thrown out, and the blood from her heart frozen in a tiny line across her bare shdulder. But neither of us, although we- searched; the floor ‘g on our hands and. knees, could find the weapon which had killed her. ‘ II bi) b! “ ‘For Arthur’s sake,’ I said, ‘I would- have given 3 than! ’vmunds if we had found the knife in her hand, 93 he said we would: COPYRIGHT.

What was his real duty here! Suppose it was not to guard this woman, but to watch her. Let us imagine that it was not the woman he served, Madame Zichy, who sent these rugs and curtains from St. Petersburg to furnish it for her after his own tastes, and, I believe, it was he also who placed the Russian servant here, ostensibly to serve the Princess, but in reality to spy upon her. At Scotland Yard we do not know who this gentleman is; the Russian police confess to equal ignorance con- earning him. When Lord Chetney went to Africa, Madame Zichy lived in St. Petershurg; but there her receptions and dinners were so crowded with members of the nobility and of the army and diplomats, that among so many visitors the police could not learn which was the one for whom she most greatly cared.’ “T.le minted at the modern French paintings and the heavy silk ‘not the sort of man to send a stupid peasant to guard the w loves. So I am not content to believe, with Mr. Sears, that t] is a boar. I believe him instead to be a very clever ruflian. “WHY EV THE NAME OF COMMON SENSE.” HE C I HAVE CHOSEN THAT MOMENT!" him to be the protector of his master’s honor, or, let us say, of his mas- ter’s property, whether that property be silver plate or the woman his master loves. Last night, after Lord Arthur had gone away, the serv- ant was left alone in this house with Lord Chetney and Madame Zichy. From where he sat in the hall he could hear Lord Chetney bidding her farewell; for, if my idea of him is correct, he understands English quite as~well as you or I. Let us imagine that he heard her entreating Chetney not to leave her, reminding him of his former wish to marry her, and let us suppose that he hears Chetney denounce her, and tell her that at Cairo he has learned of this Russian admirerâ€"the servant’s master. He hears the woman declare that she has had no admirer but himself, that this unknown Russian was, and is, .thing to her, that there is no man she. loves but him, and that she cannot live, knowing that he is alive, without his love.

I told him that he certainly showed imagination, but that he could not hang a man for what he imagined he had done. wâ€"_ _- “ rN o,’ Lyle answered, ‘but I can frighten him by telling him what I think he has done, and now when I again question the Russian serv- ant I will make it quite clear to him that I believe he is the murderer. I think that will open his mouth. A man will at least talk to defend himself. Come,’ he said, ‘we must return at once to Scotland Yard and eee him. There is nothing more to do here.’ “He arose, and I followed him into the hall, and in another minute we would» have been on our way to Scotland Yard. But just as he opened the street door a postman halted at the gate of the garden, and began fumbling with the latch. “Lyle stopped, with an exclamation of chagrin. "Howempidofmel’he‘exelaimed.
