Such was the conversation inside the study,
as reported TO me by Mr.. Jefco. The conyer-
sation outside the study was shorter still
'Jefco, see what time the tidal train starts
to-worrow mcrning.'
AT siI-forty, Mr.. Franklin

J The next morning Mr.. Franklin had started
for foreign parts. To what particular place he
was bound nobody (himself ineluded) could
presume TO gue-s. We might hear Of him next
in Europe, Asia, Africa, or America. The
chances were as equally divided as possible, in
Nir. Jehco's opinion, among the four quarters OF
the globe.
This news-by closing up all prospect OF my
bringing Limping Lucy and Mr.. Franklin to-
gether-at once stopped any further progress OF
mine on the way TO discovery Penelopc's be-
lief that her .ellow-seryant had destroyed her

Blake was confrmed-and that was all. Wheth-
er the letter which Rosanna had len TO be given
TO him AFTER her death did, or dH not, contain
the confession which Mr.. Franklin hal suspect
Ell her Of trying 20 make TO aim In her lifetime,
Il was impossible to say. II might be only
farewell word, telling nothing but the secret Of
her unhappy fancy for . person beyond her
reach. Or Il might own the whole truth about
the strange proceedings in which Sergeant Cuff
had detected her, from the time when the Moon
stone was lost to the time when she rushed TO
her own destruction at the Shyering Sand. A
scaled letter II had been placed in Limping Lu-
cy's hands. and sealed letter il remained to
me and TO every one about the girl, her own
parents included. We all suspected her OF hav-
ing been In the dead woman's confidence; we
all tried to make her speak; We all failed. Now

holding to the BELIEF that Rosanna had stolen
the Diamond and had hidden n-Peered ana
