Jeffrey tells his story

more than any word of yours, will
settle this question which otherwise
may prove a vexed one"
Mr. Jeffrey's hand went up to his
head. Was he acting a part or did
he really forget just what it was for
his own best welfare TO remember? If
he had forgotten. it argued that he was
in state Of grea ter disturbance on
that night than would naturally be oc-
casioned by a mere lovers quarrel with
his wife.
Did the same thought strike my COM
panion? l cannot say; l can only give
you his next words:
You have said that your wife would
not be liliely to end her life in presence
of any one but yourself. Yet you must
see that some one was with her. How
do you propose to reconcile your asser-
tons with a fact so undeniable?"
Il cannot reconcile them. 1t would
madden ne 10 try. If thought any one
was with her at that moment
"Wells"
Mr.. Jeffrey's eyes fell. and a startling
change passed over him. But before
either Of US could make out just what
this change betOkened he recovered his
aspect of fixed melancholy and quietly
remarked:

young. passionate heart. but il is worse

and will not so picture her. You have
been misled by appearances or what in
police parlance is called clew."
Evidently he did not mean to admit
the possibility of the pistol having
been fired by any other hand than her
own. This the coroner noted. Bow
ing with the respect he showed every
man before jury had decided upon
his guilt. he turned toward the door
out of which 1 had already hurried
I'VE hope to hear from you in the
morning. he called back significantly
as he stepped down the stairs.
Mr. jeffrey did not answer; he was
having his first struggle with the new
and terrible prospect awaiting him at
the approaching inquest.

CHAPTER NJ.

"HE days of my obscurity were
over. Henceforth l was re-
Isl garded as q decided factor in
this case--a case which from
this time on assumed another aspect
both at headquarters and in the minds
of people at large. The reporters,
whom we had hitherto managed to
hold in check, now overlooked both the
coroner's Office and police headquar-
tiers, and articles appeared in all the
daily papers with just enough sugges-
ton in them to fire the public mind and
make me, for one. anticipate an imme-
date word from Mr.. Jeffrey calcula ted
10 establish the alibi he had failed to
make out on the day we talked with
him. But no such word came His
memory still played him false, and no
alternative was left but to pursue the
official inquiry in the line suggested by
the interview just recounted.
No proceeding in which / had ever
been engaged interested me as did this
inquest. In the first place, the spec
tators were of very different charac
ter from the ordinary AS 1 wormed
myself along to the seat accorded to
such witnesses as myself I brushed by
men OF the very highest station and
few OF the lowest and bent my head
more than once in response to the in
Quiring gaze of some fashionable lady
who never before, warrant, had found
herself in such scene. By the time 1
reached my place all the others were
seated, and the coroner raped for or

Twas first to take the stand. What
I said has already been fully amplified
in the foregoing pages. OF course, my
evidence was confined to facts, but
some Of these facts were new to most
Of the persons there. 1t was evident
that a considerable effect was pro-
duced by them, not only on the specta-
tors. but upon the witnesses them
selves. For instance, it was the first
time that the marks on the mantelshelf

If she did so choose: also who would
be likely to tie the pistol to her wrist
and blow out the candle when the
dreadful deed was over"
The laugh which seemed to be the
only means OF violent expression re-
manning to this miserable man was
kept down by some amazing thought
| which seemed to paralyze him. WIKI
out making any attempt to refute a
suggestion that fell just short Of per-
sonal accusation, he sank down in the
first chair he came to and became. as
it were. lost in the vision of that ghast-
~ ribbon tying aud the solitary blow
ing out of the candle upon this scene OF
mournful death. Then. with strug-
Cling sense of having heard something
which called for answer. he rose blind
" to his feet and managed to let fall
these words:
You are mistaken. No one was there,
or, If any one was, it was not /. There
is a man in this city who can prove it. "
But when Mr.. jeffrey was asked to
give the name of this man he showed
confusion and presently was obliged to
admit that he could neither recall his
name nor remember anything about
him, but that he was some one whom
he knew we'll and who knew him we'll.
He affirmed that the two had met and
spoken near Soldiers home shortly aft
er the sun went down and that the
man Would be sure 10 remember this
meeting il we could only nnd him.
As Soldiers home was several miles
from the Moore house and quite out OF
the way Of all his accustomed haunts.

be there. He replied that he had just
come from the Rock Greek cemetery,
that he had been Ia 4 vretched state
