heavy heart, he went back to the gloom
OF his prison life again.
At last, after all the weary waiting
the great day arrived The sessions
had commenced at the Old Bailey. For
two or three days prior to this. Godfrey
had been busy with his solicitor and
his counsel. 1t was not. however. un-
til the afternoon before the commence
ment OF the trial, that he could elicit
from Cooley any information as TO Bur.
relfs discoveries. Immediately he was
ushered into the room where Cooley
was awaiting him. Godfrey saw from
the expression upon the Others face
that there was something TO tell.
You have good news for me-" he
said, as they shook hands.
The very best of news" Cooley re-
piled. My dear sir, you may rest as
sured that your innocence is complete
ly established. The whole plot hss
come TO light. and. when we give the
word, the authorities will be able TO lay
their hands upon the man who COM
mitted the deed"
But who is the man." Godfrey las
tened TO ask. scarcely able 20 speak for
excitement A pulse was beating like
sledge-hammer inside his head until
1t seemed as IL his brain must burst.
Don't ask me that now?' said Cod
ey. Put your trust in me until to-
morrow. Then you shall know every
thing. Believe me, ! have my own very
good reasons for asking this favor OF
you. Rest assured OF one thing: at
latest. the day after tomorrow you will
be at liberty to go where and do what
you please
But why cannot It be settled at once?
Why must 1t be the day after to-mor-

Don't you understand that we can

lawyer. The English law has its

so calIous? Answer me that! Now
you have my reasons for arguing that
he knew where the knife was, and also
the man who had placed it there"
The suspicious you suggest are too
horrible said Godfrey, rising and pac-
ing the CELL What possible reason
could he have for doing me such an in
jury?"
"One never knows. There are some
men who hate the man who is supposed
to be their best friend, either because
he. the friend, has been successful in
money making, in love, or perhaps he
presumes him to be happier than him
self You are rich; he is poor. You
have been successful in your profess
sion; he has been failure. His hatred
might have begun with pealousy and
have terminated in this: l have known
more unlikely things"
in that case, what am I to do?"
Leave it to me and to Burrell to
arrange. II that were not right, my
experience teaches me that that astute
gentleman would have shown signs of
dissatisfaction before now. He has got
his nose on the trail you may be sure,
and he will not leave it for a moment.
4 had few minutes conversation with
him this morning, when he was taking
luncheon in small chop-house that he
patronizes. He had a mug containing,
| should think, nearly quart of beer
before him, and on his plate what look
ed like the better part of cheese. 1t
is quaint, old-fashioned little hole,
much affected by farmers in town for
the day, and I'll be bound that there
was not one there who dreamt that the
cheerful farmer-lo looking fellow seated at
his side, was the great detective, Jacob
tBurrell. And how is the case proceed
ing I asked when | had called for
something to keep me employed while
talking to him. It's one OF the pref

to explain himself, he added that he
would tell me everything before long.

he. Wait until I've got to the last

knife in Cairo, so how could l have
brought one home with me?"
But who could have placed 1t be-
hind the bookcase, If you did not?"
asekd the lawyer.
THAT is more than l can say" said
Godfrey, simply.
Look here, Mr.. Henderson, said
Cooley, sharply, II have met good
many unsuspicious men in my time, but
l don't think I have ever met one so
unsuspicious as you are. have a list
of all the people in your house at the
moment when that box arrived. Let
us turn it over. There was your moth
er, your sister, and your fansee, Miss
Devereux. AS our friend Burrell would
say, they may be dismissed from the
case without delay. Your butler and
footman are old family servants, as are
the housekeeper, the cook and the head
parlor maid. They may also be dis
missed. The remainder of the house,
hold would be scarcely likely to possess
a knife of that description, so we will
dismiss them also. There remains only
yourself and Mr.. Fensden. You declare
your innocence, and we will presume it.
Now, Mr.. Fensden, by his evidence, has
placed you where you are. That is GER
fact of your being in love with the
woman who is dead and also when he
said that you purchased the knife in
Cairo You say that he came to stay
with you on the day that the murder
was dscovered-why should he not
have placed it behind the bookcase, in
order that 1t should be another incrim-
mating point against you?"
Il cannot believe that he would do
such thing" said Godfrey. He would
would not be so base"
Il am not so sure of it," said the as
tute lawyer. What is more, l made
a curious discovery to-day. The man
in question pretends to be your friend.
He gives his evidence with reluctance.
Yet I noticed that when that knife was
produced his face betrayed neither sur
prise nor emotion. Had he had your
interests at heart. would he have been

wonderful belief in me-"
"Oh, yes, you will" Sir Vivian an
swered, confidently. THE mere fact Of
having you with her once again will be
a sufficient reward for all she has gone
through"
When the worthy old man bade him
goodbye, Godfrey charged him with all
sorts of loving messages for the dear
ones at home.
TELL them he said, that since !
have seen you am more confident
than ever of my innocence being
proved"
Next morning Cooley came to see
him. He seemed in unusually good
spirits, even for him, a fact which Cod
frey in his loneliness seemed somewhat
inclined to resent.
Il have seen Burrell," he said. after
the door had been closed and locked

however, to be considered. l have re-

has made a search at your residence,

Godfrey. LAS | had nothing whatso-
ever to do with the murder, / scarcely
see how they can find anything incrim-
mating among my possessions"
At last that weary week came to an
end, and once more Godfrey stood be-
fore the crowded Court. At first glance
it looked, if such a thing were possible,
as if more people had been squeezed
into the building than on the previous
occasion. The fashionable world was
as we'll represented as before, while
this time there were even more ladies
present than had hitherto been the
case. Hhe cabman who had driven
the pair to Burford street was examin-
ed and repeated his former evidence,
lie was subjected to severe cross
examination by Mr.. ROLAND, but his
testimony remained mistaken. The
police-constable who had seen them to-
gether also repeated his tale. He was
quite certain, he assured the court, that

CHAPTER XII.


The preliminary investigation before
&he magistrate. calls for but little COM
ment The evidence was, with but few
exceptions. that which had been given
before the coroner on Monday and
"wednesday preceding. = it was re-
variable for anything it was for the
number OF spectators IN the court. l.:
the building, in which the coroner S
Inquiry had been conducted, had been
crowded. the police-court was packed,
not with the poorly-clad spectators
which one usually meets and associates
with that miserable place, but by we'll
dressed and even aristocratic members
Of society. When Godfrey recovered
from the first feeling OF shame at ind
ing himself in such place and in such
= position, and looked about him he
recognized several people whom he had
once accounted his friends. but who
had schemed and contriyei b" every
means in their power, to obtain permits
sion to watch what they thought would
amount to degradation and final ex-
tinction. Pulling himself together he
looked his accusers boldly in the face
and more than one person there told
himself that man who could look at
one like that could nev,r be guilty of
such a crime as murder. Mr. ROLAND
the counsel who had been retained by
Cooley for the defence, was a tall, hand
some man, and of little above middle
age He was the possessor of a bland
suave manner which had the faculty of
extracting in formation from the most
unwilling and reluctant witnesses.
Near him sat Mr.. Cooley himself, keen
eyed and on the alert for anything
that might tend to his clients advant-
age. The curiosity of the visitors was
not destined, however, to be gratified.
for when certain of the witnesses had
been examined, the case was adjourned
for a week, and Godfrey returned to
Holloway by the way he had come.
How he passed the next week, he
could scarcely tell you now. Had it
not been that every day brought him
certain letter. he doubts whether he
could have got through it all. More
over. he received repeated visits from
Sir Vivian, who informed him that
Burrell, the detective, was working
night and day upon the case.
HE will tell us nothing of the sue
cess he is meeting with, however" said
the baronet; ''but / fancy he is salts

his hands, chuckles, and seems so well
pleased with himself and his conduct ~

that he has discovered something of
Importance"
Il trust it may prove to be true" said
Godfrey. This waiting is terrible
work
Sir Godfrey noticed that the young
man had grown decidedly thinner since
