resd trio ,e last sad words, and laid the
manuscript down on the table, amid o
dead silence, which was first broken by
Brian.

"thank God that he was Innocent Of the
crimer'

'the riddle which has perrlsxed rs so
long is read, and ,hs Sphinx is silent for
ever more"
AZ knew be was incapable of such q
thing" cisd Chinston, whom emotion
had Hitherto kept silent.
Meanwhile Kusip listsned to these
eulogttic re narks on the dead man, and
p aired to himself, in a satisfied sort OF
way, Ike cat who has caught q mouse.

voice, "but 10 see l cannot let a DANCE Gus

"Ofcourse not, said Fitzgerald, sharply,
"Morsland must be arrested right off,"
"But he will confess everything" said
Gallon angrily, ''aud then everyone will

wei, suppose it must be So" said
Chnston, with a sigh, "but it seems very
hard that this slur should be cast upon
Mis- Frettlby." Brian turned a little
pale.
"The sins of the fither are generally
visits d uIoa the children by the worl5,"
he said, bitterly. "But after the first pain
is over, in new lands among nsw faces, she
will fo:get the bitter past"
'Now that it is settled Moreland is t,
be arrested" said Cslton, show i, il. to be
dore? Is he still in Melto1rne?"
Rather" said Kilsip, in a satisfied
tone; "TSe had my eye on him for the last
two months, and some one is watching
him for me now-trust NE, he can't move
two steps without my knowing it."
"Ah, indeeir' sad Gallon quickly.
''Then do you know if he has been to the

"Well, now. observed Kilsip, after a
pause. do you know you rather stan tied
ms when you told me he had received o

"Why?"
"Its such lNg, one," replied the de-
tscSive, "and had 1 known what sum he
