for me by Doctor Melville's genius.
I«d to Mr. Stephen Colne, the bill-
llsnt statesman who deliberately
killed himself tonight in a halo of
mock heroism in order to escape the
hangman and the stain on )>*• name."
"Go on," said Kathleen hoarsely.
"Truth," proceeded Wragge, "de-
mands a confession on my |xirt. At
the outset of my career I committed
a breach of the police regulations,
and I committed it for money under
domestic circumstances which might
command your pity but which are
too intricate to be narrated here. Mr.
Colne at that time held an official po-
sition very much lower than that to
which ho rose later, but it gave him

took advantage of It to make me

many dirty jolia which a detective
officer can do for an ambitious poli-
tician. and on several occasions Mr.
Coin# used me for the confusion of
his political opponsnts, and more
than once to dish rivals on his own
side of the House.

reading of the reports of the affair
had swayed my mind toward tbs
probable guilt of Sir Dudley. Mr.
Colne’s pruate moral character
never entered into my speculations.
"At that Interview there occurred a
little incident which by the light of
subsequent discoveries became sig-
nificant, though et the time I could

tion whether Mr. Gtontoters death
might have been due to a crime paae
Mont lie—whether there wee n wo-

angrily bade me dismiss any soak
notion.
I set to work on the case without
delay, and the same afternoon, dur-
iiig a call I paid here et the Grange,
I went fur toward confirming my
ilf-ioi med suspicion of Sir Dudley.
! n t Doctor Melvltla loitering at the
-U-- gate*, and In spits of my ctori-
cal disguisa ha raoogntoad me as a
inter i-itlent. Of courfis, hs guesesd
u hat 1 was after. He esid that •
<fi-reputable looking man was with
Air Dudley and that It might ba te
my advuntage to have a look at him.
We walked up to the house together,
I to apply for admission at the front
door and Doctor Melville going round
to the library window.
“We entered the room at practical*
ly the same moment, and sura
-ron'Si sir Dudley's visitor cam# up
to the doctor's description. A dis-
solute, loose-living blackguard of •
type we at the Yard arc only too
familiar with. Melville was rather
too demonstrative In the way ha
fixed him with hie eyeglass. Either
that, or It Is possiblo that ho may
have recognized me. Anyhow, he
turned end bolted through the
French window, and till today was
seen no more at the Grange."
Wiaggo paused and glanced quill
cally at Kathleen. "If you could
have seen into my mind at that mo-
ment, Miss Glenlster," he said, "you
would not have been so hard on mo
next day (or not instantly arresting
Sir Dudley. For I formed the too
obvious opinion that the disreputable
stranger hud knowledge of your
cousin's guilt and wag there to black*
mall him. In that I was portly right,
hut not to the full extent. Hs waa
the Mr. Hlmon Trlckey who, In re-
vengo for being rebuffed, took ag
much of his tale as lie dated to you
and would have probably «otd you
some half-truths luter If he had not'
been otherwise engaged.”
"Engaged In dying,” said ICatfe-
leen, who had lost much of her trucu-
lence. "I was in his house at the
time. I told you about It."
"Hiuce then he has been engaged
ip coming to life again, but that to
another story," said Wragge with a
snup of his jaws. “I too believed
that he tvus dead, but I Mae con-
vinced that if evidence woe procur-
able against Sir Dudley this men
Trlckey held the key to it. Stronger
than ever grew that belief when I
discovered that hie wife was n
Ree ;h wood girl, the daughter Of
John Grimes, the Grange game-
keeper. I raked about among the
ushes of Mr. Trickey'e past and that
of his sister, Mrs. Coningsby.”
"Mu. Conlngshy!” repeated Kath-
leen. "Why, sho was the wldo# ef
Sir Dudley's former partner on the
stock exchange.”
