Halliday's hands and his father seeks an
explanation. Agatha Webb's will is
opened and by its terms Mr.. Sutherland is
made executor and Frederick sole heir of

Frederick is the murderer. but because
Mr.. Sutherland once saved his life, Sweet

AGATHA
The following is from John label to
his brother James, and is dated one day
after the above:
Dear JameS-When you read this 1
Will be far away, never to look in your
face again, unless you bid me. Brother,
brother, / meant IL for the best, but
God was not with me. and have made
four hearts miserable without giving
help TO anyone.
When L read Agatha's leiter-the last
for more reasons that one. that | shall
ever receive from her-I seemed to feel
as never before what I had done to
blast your two lives. For the first time
l realized to the full that but for me
she might have been happy and you the
respected husband of the one grand
woman to be found in pcrtchester.
That / had loved her so fiercely myself
came back to me in reproach, and the
thought that she. perhaps, suspected
that the blame had fallen where it was
not deserved, aroused me to such a
pitch that / took the sudden and des-
perate resolution of telling her the
truth before she gave her hand to
Philemon, and never paused till /
reached Mr.. Gilchrist's house and was
ushered into his presence.
He was lying on the sitting room
