what her thoughts were.
Il must send note to your father,
/ dear" he said. 'He anticipated this
and made me promise to communicate
with him directly it should come to
pass"
He thereupon went to writing-table
in the corner OF the room and wrote a
hurried not to Sir Vivian, after which
he rang the BEN and gave orders that
it should be taken to the Court with
out moments delay.
''Now," he said, when he had exam
lined his watch and found that it was
nearly half-past five, Il must bid you
goodbye. DO not be anxious about
me. I am proudly conscious OF my
| own innocence, and l fell sure that,
by this time tomorrow. the public will
be aware of 1t also"
| But his mother could not be COM
forted. She dung to him with the
tears streaming down her cheeks, as if
she could not let him go.
Mother, DEAR" said Kitty, you
must be brave. Think of Godfrey, and
don't send him away more unhappy
| than he is"
81 will be brave" she said, and then
| drew his face down to hers and kissed
him. Goodbye, my dear boy. May
God in His mercy bless you and send
you safely back to u.s."
) When Kitty had kissed him, she
drew her mother back into the ingle
nook in order that Godfrey and Molly
might say goodbye to each other in
private.
Then Godfrey took Molly in his arms.
Goodbye my own dearest" he
said. 81 shall pray for you continual
ly. Night and day you will be in my
thoughts"
He could not answer her, but kissed
her passionately. Then, disengaging
himself from her embrace, he left the
room.
Returning to the library he informed
the detective that he was at his ais
posal, at the same time telling him that
if they desired to catch the 6:10 at Det-
witch, they, had no time to lose.
I'VE had better be going, then" said
the man, and leaving the library they
proceeded into the hall. Godfrey's bag
had already been placed in the cab and
the grey-haired old butler, Williamson,
was standing at the foot Of the stairs
holding the door open.
Goodbye, Williamson" said God
frey. Ct know that | can safely leave
everything in your hands
You can, sir, the man replied, SIM
ply; and then for the first time in his
life he allowed himself to become fa-
miliar with his master, and laying his
hand on his arm he added, May God
bless you. sir and send you back to us
soon"
Then the cab rolled away down the
drive, and Godfrey's journey to prison
had commenced.
For the greater part of the drive into
Detwich neither of them spoke One
had too much upon his mind to be in
the humor for conversation, while the
other, who was sorry for his prisoner,
and who knew a gentleman when he
saw one had no desire to thrust himself
upon him in his trouble. AS it hap
pened when they reached the station
they found that they had some minutes
to spare. They accordingly strolled up
and down the platform, while they
awaited the coming of the express. On
its arrival they secured an empty COM
partment, and settled down for the jour-
ney to London. When Euston was
reached they took cab and drove di-
rect to Bow street, where Godfrey Hen
derson, of Detwich Hall Detwich was
formally charged with the wilful muir
der of Teresina Cardi artists model.
The usual forms having been complied
With he was placed in a somewhat SUI
perior apartment in another portion of
the building. Then the key was turned
upon him and, for the first time in his
life, he was a prisoner.
Early next morning it was announced
that two gentlemen had arrived to see
him. They proved to be Sir Vivian
Devereau and Mr. Cooley, the lawyer.
My dear lad. this is indeed a sad
business said Sir Vivian. as they
shook hands. Il cannot tell you how
sorry ! am for you But, thank God
we Know YOU to be innocent and are
oe.ermined to prove it,"
