who says I saw herr"
Mrs PoVy.
Myles DesmOnd's lips cur1ed.
You seem TO have obtained all your in
formation beforehand" he said with a
sheer; perhaps you'll tell me what you
want to know from me?"
First-did you see Miss Sarschine on
I MondGy?"
aYesl I did, but in the afternoon, nobat
night.
@But Mrs. Povy said she called on you
/ there on Monday night"
/ Mrs. POVy is mistaken, I did not see
/ her
/ Did you SEQ anyone at that timer"
That's my business"
Pardon me, said Dowker ironically,
/ but it's mine also. You had better an
/ sWer my questions or you may find your
! self IN an uncommOnly awkward fix.
-Oh! So you mean to accuse me OF
/ Lena Sarschine's murder?"
That depends, replied DOwker, am
! biguCusly; tell me what yOu did on Mon
day nigbt?"
] Myles thought a moment, and seeing
/ his perilOus position resolved to answer.
I went to the FrivOlity Theater, then to
the Office OF the newspaper Hash and af-
/ terward--"
@WelI?"
4 went along to Lord Cagiston's
rooms about half-past ten"
Il thought 50; and Why did you go
there?"
Not to commit a crime, retorted Des-
/ mond, cOOlly, but only to arrange some
/ papers for my cousin-he had gone down
to ShOreham by the $40 train.
Did you see him OFF,"
mo"
Then how do you know he went?"
Because he said he was going"
With Lady Balscombe?"
Il know nothing about that said Des-
/ mond, coldly, he went-as far as I
! knOw-Dy himself. I was at his cham
! bers to arrange his papers, and after I
/ had done so left.
Did no one call while you were there?"
yes, reluctantly.
"a LADY,"
Well, a woman, eyasiveIy.
! Miss Sars Chine?"
/ No, it was not Miss Sarschine; that I
/ can swear to-.
Then who was it?"
mo one having anything to do with this
/ Casa friend of my own.
I must know the name.
Il refuse to tell you"
Both men looked steadily at one an
/ other, and then DoWksr changed the sub
! ject.
why did you quarrel with your friend?"
That is my business"
oh! And what time did your friend
/ Ieaye?"
Shortly after r..
and your"
Went a few minutes afterward."
You came hOme?"
after a time-yes."
] where did you go in the meantime?"
q refuse to answer"
Then can tell yOu-down st. James
! street.
AIyles Desmond uttered an oath, and
| asked sharply:
who told you that?"
mo one; but Mr.. El1ersby met you
coming up shortly after 2 o'clock.
Yes, I did meet him there"
Why did you not go straight home?"
Desmond seemed to be trying to think
of something last, with an effort, ne
said:
"I was afraid my friend might get lost
in the fog, and followed her down st.
! James street, then lost sight OF her, and
after time came up st. James street,
where L met Ellersby. I did not see my
| friend again, so 1 came home.
you did not see your friend after she
left Lord Collisions chambers?"
No, did not!" said Desmond, with q
sudden flush.
That's a lie, thought Dowker, eying
him sharply; then he said aloud:
you have answered all my questions
except the most important ones"
Il have answered all I intend to an
swer.
@Then you refuse to give me the name
of the woman whom you saw on Monday
night?"
Mrs: POvy is certain 1t was Miss sar-
schine."
AS I said before, Mrs. Povy is mis-
DO you know I can arrest you on sus-
picion2"
You have no grounds to go upon"
you were the person who last saw the
deceased alive.
Pardon me; I deny that saw the
deceased at all on that night.
Mrs. POvy can prove it.
"Then let Mrs. POyy do so.
DOWlzer grew angry-the self-pOsses-
sion and GOODNESS of this young man an
noyed him-sO he resolved for the pres
ent to temporiZe.
"Weu, we'll, Mr.. Desmond I suppose
you can give good account Of yourself
on that night?"
Certainly, to the proper authorities.
Good morning, said DOwker, and
walked out of the room. When he got in
to the street he strOlled along a little
way, thinking deeply.
"COnfound him! He knows something, "
he said to himself, and refuses to tell
I won't lose sight of him, so I must
get that little devil, Flip. to look after
him. I'll look him up now, and start
him at once"
Just as he was about to put this resolu-
tiOn into execution he saw the door of
the house he had just left open, and the
servant came out with q piece of paper
in her hand, which the keen-eyed detec-
tive saw was q telegr8Db form.
