"Your direction is positive. will
very gladly see this person."
The door had been almost involunta-
rily closed by Margaret as the Magistrate
spoke. But now, being about to turn
the handle, in order to quit the room,
she found that another grasp, not hers,
was upon the lock.
She drew back, the door opened, and
an Insignificant looking man, about
fifty years of age, entered. He whisper
ed few words in one of the magistrates
ears, and then sat himself down at a
corner of the long table which filled the
centre of the room.
He is come," said the magistrate
''and he is waiting in the hall. Leave
here by the court door"
''I must go, dare not see him !"
Then suddenly starting, she said, "No,
on the contrary, must see this man, 1
will know the worst and shall know
it when sight falls upon him."
The little man at the corner of the
table looked up surprised at these words.
The little man was the magistrates
clerk.
The magistrate himself regarded Mar
garet as though in doubt whether or not
she had taken leave of her senses. He
replied, "What you ask, Miss Mayter,
is very extraordinary but it might be
managed, though L must admit that 1
feel am doing wrong. Do you think
you have sufficient courage to remain
perfectly quiet during the interview p
that no cry, word, or movement shall

The magistrate made sign to his
clerk, who silently showed the young
lady into one of the small side offices,
the doors of which were opposite the
line of windows.

CHAPTER w.
THE EXAMINATION.

LIE fAhDllN Al lONs
The door had scarcely closed upon the
lady when the gentleman requested to
appear before the magistrate came in,
looked round, saw the magistrate, and
saluted him with much ease and gentle
manly feeling.
May ask, sir" he said, in a tone
cold, but at the same time perfectly
courteous, ''may ask why you have
invited me to come here to talk over
with you what were my relations with
the murdered man Forbes And may
ask why the officer who brought me
the information would not enlighten me
upon the subject?"
"The man only did his duty, sir. He
had to deliver letter, not to talk of its
contents. AS to why have invited
you here, had you been courteous enough
to wait until had addressed you-the
process usual with those 1 see in this
room-you would have saved yourself
inquiry"
II am not acquainted with the rules
and customs of police-courts you will
be good enough, therefore, to allow me
to offer you all possible apologies
81 accept them; and felicitate you
upon knowing nothing about police
offices they are disagreeable places to
know. Let me at once explain matters
between us. L was applied to by the
police to sign warrant for your ar
rest"
Arrest For what?"
GA crime"
What crime 7"
"Of having assassinated Graham
Forbes.''
The light was full upon Sivory's face.
1t betrayed no emotion, but he turned
his eyes upon the magistrate, and said
81 confess was not prepared for SO
candid statement on your part. OF
course knew my relations with Forbes
would involve me in the inquiry touch
ing his murder, but was not at all pre-
pared for playing so remarkable al part in
the tragedy, as to be accused of having
destroyed him. Continued next week.

clearly due to the cheap and fimsy
character of the boat, its engines and
machinery. Yet it was boat owaed by some
