If he had, the first perâ€" son he would have chosen would surely have been old Peters, who had been in his service for half a century. ‘The one exception in this commection, apparently had been Jorâ€" dan, who had intimidated him by the threat of leaving his service. It was easy enough to understand why he ‘The old man had become more and more timid as the years went, by. He woud have been afraid to trust Aimself to a strange chauffeur. And ’Uthmtnhrumm staff was concerned was stone cold, She might, for instance, have been an accessory after the fact? ‘That was certainly an idea to keep in mind. But he would not permit himâ€" self to attempt any theory of the crime just yet. Toâ€"morrow morning he would try to test the alibi of those two suspects. ° And when he joined the rest of the family in the drawingâ€"room, the ideal time to make that investigaâ€" tion was immediately suggested to him, in the announcement made by his sister Caroline of the arrange ments she had made for the next morning. o "You‘ve heard that Mr. Twyford and Mr. Rossiter both want to leave by the early train toâ€"morrow mornâ€" ing?" she asked. Bernard nodded and looked across to the corner of the room in which Mary and young Twyford were enâ€" gaged in a whispering conversation. "Well, then," Caroline continued, "I think Nurse Ripley had better go ! at the same time. I shall fee} more comfortable when she is out of the ; house." â€" "But, my dear Caroline, why?" ‘ Bernard asked. ; tog His sister had not lowered her raâ€" 4b ther strident voice, and Manette, & Maud, Percival and Charles were all he listening to the conversation. |las "I can‘t help holding her responâ€" sible, in a way, for father‘s death," was the reply. "She grossly neglecâ€" ted her duties. Percival says that she could not have done anything if she had been there, but she ought to have been there. Moreover, Mrs. Ellis says that ehe has been carrying on a flirtation with Jordan, and as likely as not was with him all afterâ€" Boon." a "She does not, however, know that for certain?" Bernard put in. "I suppose not. She couldn‘t very well, seaing that she was with me in the downâ€"stairs linenâ€"room," Caroâ€" ine replied, "but Nurse Ripley has been seen wit? him in the park more than once." Bernard glanced at Percival before he replied, ‘but his brother‘s face was devoid of any particular expres «ion. ‘"In any case, she shall leave by the early trair as you suggest, ‘Caroline, " Bernard said. With both Nurse Ripley and Jorâ€" dan out of the way, he decided he could conveniently make his inâ€" quiries in the stables and the park. The early train left the local station, four miles away, at nine fortyâ€"six, to connect with the express to Lonâ€" don at Derby; and Jordan would be |gone for the best part of an hour. _ "Rossiter gone to bed already?" he continued, noticing his absence from the room. "We haven‘t seen him since he went to you in the library," Perciâ€" val returned, taking a sudden interâ€" est in the conversation. "By the way, Bernard, I suppose he didn‘t say anyâ€" thing to you about ... ?" "He did, quite a lot," Bernard reâ€" plied, "and there‘s no reason why 1 shouldn‘t tell you." He felt like a benefactor, standing there bringing the good news that to his two brothers, at east, meant the lifting of a heavy burden of a work and responsibility. It came to him, also, that he, too, was thankâ€" ful now to ‘be free of the necessity to work for his living.The law had not been his true vocation. He had hardly dared to question that before, but he realized at this moment how ‘hankful he would be to get away from the atmosphere of crime and suspicion, inevitable in his profesâ€" sion. ‘He had had no great gift as a lawyer; he had won his preserit poâ€" sition by sheer application and inâ€" dustry. "Wt‘s all right, *‘ he went on, "‘a very just and proper will, Rossiter called it, and I agree with him. No favoritism and nobody left out. Eighty thousand to each of us, and I‘m the residuaryâ€"legatte in considerâ€" atlon of the responsibility of having this place left on my hands as a family monument." family monument." | "My dear fellow, of course not," Caroline kept her eyes down and Bernard responded fervently, thmhi her pose expressed a shade of dh-llndoed he was thinking less of popuâ€" approval, but Charles could not hide ‘jar scandal than of the improbable his relief. |trial he had been staging in his imaâ€" _ "I say, B., you don‘t mean that 1 gination. come in for eighty thousand too!" Percival was meditatively pacing he asked. the room, his hands behind his back, "Of course you do, myedear old his head bent, a habit he had when chap, " his brother returned warmly.|diagnosing an important and diffiâ€" He wae very glad for Chartes. He cult case; and when he spoke again All RGHT, it had beéen e0 umanmm himself the conter of this thing might never have happenâ€" ed round, _ "I‘d like to have a quiet word with you, Bernard, some time this evenâ€" ing. Either now or later, just as you like." "Oh, now," Bernard replied. "I expect we shall be going up fairly early toâ€"night. It‘s been a distressing day altogether. "It has, indeed," Caroline agreed, with the sound of reproof still in lher voice. "Most .distressing," Mrs. Percival echoed with, Bernard thought, someâ€" thing of that same effect of whimsiâ€" cal resignation he had noticed when she and her husband had made the announcement of their father‘s death that afternoon. _ ‘"Well, I don‘t suppose we shall be long," he said, looking at Manette. _ _‘"A quarter of an hour, not more," Percival said. But the two brothers were alone together in the library for considerâ€" ably longer than that. Bernard had anticipated an inquiry as to what he had ‘been doing since they had last ‘been alone together, what proâ€" gress, if any, he had made in his inâ€" vestigation. Percival‘s _ thoughts, however, were far away from that vital interest at this moment. "I want to tell you, Bernard," he said with a rush as soon as the door was closed behind them, "I have been wanting to confide in you for some time, but now that our affairs are on such a different footing you will have to know very soon in any case. The truth is that I shall re tire now, go and live abroad, I think. You see, Maud . . ." "Nothing wrong, is there?" Berâ€" nard asked as his ‘brother made a long pause. â€" "No, nothing absolutely wrong, as yet," Percival said. "but Maud, well in fact, she has been in love, or imaâ€" gined that she has, for some months now with . . .‘ And he mentioned a name that sent up Bernard‘s eye brows in astonishment. . "No, no, theres been nothing really | 1 wrong," ‘Percival continued. "They‘ve | met and so on, of course. But in his position, naturally he has had | to be very careful, and now that 1j can take her right away, I am conâ€" fident that she will soon forget all| about it. I‘ve been dreadfully tied,| of course, but, oh, yes, it will be all right, now. She has practically said so herself. That night before we left | town was the dark hour before the dawn; with that idiotic case hang: | ing over me and all, to aggravate the trouble . . ." I Poor old Percival reflected. He, too, had been immensely relieved by the criminal act perpetrated that . afternoon. But should there be an offical inquiry, might not he, too, some under suspicion? Indeed, when you came to think of it, the whole case rested on his evidence. Lookâ€" ing back over the facts, Bernard deâ€" cidd that he would be very sorry to have to go into the witnessâ€"box and be crossâ€"examined on the events of the day if his brother were in the dock. He had not, apparently, any possible means of proving his innoâ€" cence, the one thing in his favor being that he had come straight down and made the announcement of the manner of his father‘s death. i Yet, even that might be used against him, since he would be accused of having expected the nurse‘s instant return and intelligently anticipated ther inevitable discovery of the ‘crime. ‘Finally, this admission of a really powerful motiveâ€"Percival was deâ€" {voted to his wifeâ€"gave the accusaâ€" |tion a fine air of probability. ‘"But for the present at all events," Percival was saying, "you won‘t menâ€" tion‘ this to any oneâ€"not even Maâ€" nette?" #4, sA L* 2 9 WOebalng PECIY T SHB SAY ?

"Its a shocking thing to say, Berâ€" nard," he said, "but is does seem as it some good might ‘be coming out ot this very great and unquestionâ€" able evil." ‘ "The same thought had occurred to me," Bernard rep!led dryl!. o §"49â€" "And you are still determined to go up to town toâ€"morrow and see the Chief of Police?" "I can‘t be sure. yet." Percival paused in his walk. "You‘ve changed your mind again ?" he asked. "You‘re inclined, now, to \mke no further steps?" . ~ § "I want to make certain inquiries first," Bernard. "But don‘t ask me any more questions yet, old chap. I‘m doing a little detective work all alone, and so far I can‘t confide the results even to you. But I can give you the assurance that I believe it will be all right." â€" "And that no official inquiry, no inquest will be necessary"" "No, no," Bernard returned, "if the facts are as I believe them to be, everything will have to come out." Percival frowned and pursed his lips. "That will be absolutely necesâ€" ‘sary?" he asked. â€" m e Ets "Absolutely," Bernard eaid {irmly. "We should never be safe otherâ€" wise." â€" "Safe?" Percival repeated. "Don‘t ask me anything more now, dear old fellow," Bernard besought him. "You won‘t have long to wait â€"I hope." He had to make the same request, later, to ‘Manette. From her, too, there were suspicions that he must conceal. If everything turned out as he hoped, no one should ever know that he had shameful doubts of his ‘own daughter. But never in all his experience nor in his reading could Bernard rememâ€" ber any case in which the circumâ€" ‘eunthl evidence could be adduced so damningly against so many peoâ€" ple.‘ Knowing all he knew up to the present, it seemed to him that as prosecuting counsel he would have a good case whether against Manette or Mary or Percival. It was still raining slightly next morning when the car came round to fetch the party for the nine fortyâ€" six train for Derby. Jordan, who was in good time, had a furtive, rather sullen air, Bernard thought, and ‘Nnru Ripley looked trowbled and anxious. And despite the fact that he was sincerely sorry for them, his spirits rose. He was conscious of a sense ofâ€"hypocriey as, after Nurse Ripley had taken her 't‘t .l.E l’ro:lt EEnne en en ons of the car beside the chauffeur, he leaned across to Jordan and handed him a letter. 1 (To be continued) Monday, Dec. 16th pursuant ‘“'_’l-_,.__.-._.g. y hP op+.
