CHAPTER xI.

Through their long drive to. Mack
worth's house no word was spoken by
Valerius or his companion. The former,
with his eyes fixed and vacant and his
1ips apart. was absorbed in thought,
while Angela Mezza, feeling exhausted
from the nervousness and excitement
her narrative caused, lay languidly back
in the cab, thinking of the woman whose
life she was about to save.
On arriving at the inspectors house
they were lucky enough to ind him at
home, he having just returned after
wearisome day spent abroad IN striving
to prove his theory that George Bos-
tock's was the hand that had stabbed
David Dumbarton. Mackworth met his
visitors at the door of his sitting-room,
a look of surprise upon his face, an air
of expectation in his manner
"Co1ne in, sir, come in," he said to
Valerius, and no sooner had he entered
than he carefully shut the door and
motioned them to seats in prompt and
business-like way.
Then. facing them, as he stood at one
side of the hearth, he shrewdly glanced
at the foreigner, and from her turned
his eyes, to Valerius questioningly.
The latter, no longer absorbed and
self-concerned, but seemingly alive tc
the importance of the Italians COM
munication, said:
~An extraordinary statement has just
been made to Mrs. Dumbarton and my
self"
ABOUT the rnurder?' Macl1worth
asked, almost in a whisper
about the murder, and by the per-
son whom have brought to repeat Sh<
story to you, Angela Mezza."
"An Italian?"
81 came from Tuscany" she answered
proudly.
"Another woman in the case" Mack
worth reflected, while bowing to the for
| eigner.
s1Only an hour ago she called to see
Mrs. Dumbarton, with whom ! hap
pened to be just then" Valerius ex-
planned. when she had finished hel
story brought her straight to you, that
you might hear If at once"
Quite right, sir; much obliged AND
| now. perhaps the lady will let US hear
what She has to say"
'1 know the man who stabbed Da-
vid Dumbarton, the chorus singer said
| inpulsively.
Free press., 1906-10-06

Valerius encountered woman's fig
ure, standing still and passive, in the
pathway figure plainly distinguish
able from the surrounding darkness be-
cause of the strong light behind still
streaming from the window.
''Who are your" he asked, breathlessly
and abruptly.
my name is not known to you," came
the answer.
What do you want?" he asked, his
anger at her presence unsubdued.
ITO see her-Mrs. Dumbarton," came
the calm reply.
For what purpose?' he demanded.
Il have something to say which she
might be glad to hear"
Concerning the-?"
Concerning the murder" she said
completing the sentence he had hesi-
tated to finish.
Your"
q. Take me to her"
Even still he seemed to hesitate, his
eyes fixed on the face whose features
he was unable to discern Suddenly he
wheeled round in the pathway, saying
Come with me"
Without further words she followed
him up the steps, through the hall and
into the room where Olive Dumbartoh
stood waiting her Cousins return, hef
face still white from anxiety, her eyes
brilliant from excitement, her limbs
trembling.
