SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of THE EN-
oU1RER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand 1t
Just the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion of it which has
already been published:
Commander Duncan Brett, r. N, hav-
ing been accepted by Mabel Fenton, on
his way home finds her brother George
bending over the dead body Of woman.
In her hand is the broken of hilt OF a
glass dagger-a curio which has hung IN
Georges room-the blade buried in the
woman's heart. A man, Fitzgerald, en-
deavors to take possession of the womsn's
iewelry. Brett interferes, whereupon the
man denounces him to the police as the
murderer, and be is marched to the sta
ton. Brett proves his innocence and is
discharged. George Fenton endeavors to
escape, but after long flight is last ar
rested, charged with the murder of Harri-
ct Staples, a woman to whom be has long
been known to be attached. Mabel Fen
ton has faith in her brothers Innocence.
She tells Brett that if George is guilty she
will never marry him, being the sister of
a murderer. Mr.. Keighley Gates is heard
talking about the glass dagger. Brett re-
solves to establish Georges Innocence.
George describes the murder of Harriet
Staples as he witnessed it. She refused TO
marry him. He turned from her, heard
her fall and saw man running away, the
dagger being in her breast. Brett gets
Harriet Staples photograph and discov-
ers that it is the likeness of Lady Florence
Mostyn, daughter of the Duke Of Lundy.
Brett calls upon Keighley Gates and no.
tices in a drawer of Gates desk photo
graph of a woman which he recognizes as
one he had seen in Scotland Yard over the
name of Lady Florence Mostyn. Brett
finds visitor in his room, Mr.. Vandel-
eur, an actor who tells him that he had
played with Lady Florence Mostyn, or
Mary Western, or Harriet Staples, or
whatever she might be, and through Van
deleur, Brett gels on the track OF Arthur
Durant and is led to believe that the muir
dered woman was disreputable. Brett
consults Arabella Pridgett and learns
more of the murdered woman, as Lady
Florence Mostyn, which makes her ap-
pear as a receiver of stolen goods. 1t is
discovered that the father of Lady Flor
ence Mostyn had married widow with
son, who had gone to the bad. Brett vls-
its Keighley Gates and meets DR.. Fitz'
gerald, whom he recognizes as the man
who attempted to rifle the body OF the
murdered woman. AT Scotland 1ard
Brett, is informed that Keighley Gates
had stolen the photograph from the al
bum and substituted another.
