"Well?"
'Tt may be because of your sugges-
tom"
"Never mind that. Tell me what you
think, SIR Mackworth replied, with
eagerness.
1T now occurs to me that there was
something not altogether unfamiliar in
the figure, not only in the outlines, but
in the attitude it assumed"
Mackworth, with his hands upon the
arms Of his chair, leaned forward to-
ward the young man, on whose face he
fixed his eyes with earnestness, and said :
"Who is it this figure resembles?"
"l'hat I cannot tell YOU
at is your duty, sir" the inspector be-
gan in rigid tones. Remember that on
your word may lie the possibility of free
ing an innocent woman of blame, of
convicting a scoundrel of his guilt"
ITS not that replied Quinton, nerv-
ously. Il can't tell you because | don't
know myself. acknowledge that like
ness existed. but to whom I cannot say
Mackworth felt unable TO gauge the
sincerity of this assertion He suspected
that Quinton hesitated to name the man
he supposed himself to have seen be-
cause of the consequences which might
follow to the individual.

that you remembered" remarked the in
spector.
"I know that Once set working my
mind may find and supply the clew
eventually, but at present that's impos-
sible.'
"Do you think you could recognize
him if seen under similar circunl-
stances?"
81 can't say; it's possible I might"
"Thc experiment is worth trying, at
all events"
"Certainly," said the young man
eagerly.
"Then, sir, when I have prepared my
plan l will let you know, and We will
give it trial-a fair trial.
Il will do my best to help YOU" an
swered Quinton, as he rose to depart.

on him by passing carriage lamps"
ooh, see. Now, will you stand where
the fellow stood, and let me judge OF
the effects of the lights of this brougham
coming up will have?"

quick
With a few quick strides Quinton
gained the spot, and stood there quietly
as the lamps of passing carriage flung
their strong but brief reflection upon him.
Fhen, rejoining his companion, he said
"Well?"
'If / didn't know who it was stood
there | don't think l should be able to
recognize you," said Valerius, after some
consideration. "a strong light struck
your breast and flung sharp shadows up
ward toward the face"
"But an outline was clearly visible,
Quinton persisted.
"True," he assented, and then, after a
seconds silence, he added, wearily: eff
you had distinctly seen and were now
able to identify the man who stood there,
it might simplify this melancholy bust
ness and forever rid an innocent woman
of all blame"
Then you believe the man I saw to be
the murderer"
Il shouldn't be surprised to hear he
was"

1--WE may; goodnight" said Valerius
in a grave tone.
"We may know one day."
Goodnight" said Quinton Quave, as
they shook hands and parted.

the time the tragedy occurred. He can
not have been far off from the scene,
and he may, if he's innocent be able to
tell something of the man who is not"
"You are right" said Valerius. ''I
didn't regard it in that light before. You
must tell Mackworth what you have
seen"
"What strikes me as being suspicious
is this" Quinton said, his deliberate
manner impressing his hearers.
"What?" Olive Dumbarton asked, her
eyes riveted on his face.
"That he hasn't come forward to make
any statement"
quite true; it is certainly strange"
assented Galbraith "But, supposng for
the sake of argument he had none to
make, that he went away before anything
occurred"
Even so, he might volunteer the state
| ment that he was in the Hexton Road
on the night of the tragedy .,alf an hour
before it happened, and saw nothing that
aroused his suspicious. His absentihg
himself looks bad to my mind"
Il wonder what Mackworth will think
of your statement" said Valerius, inedi-
tatively.
"That we will soon know, for I will
call and see him early Tomorrow"
"Do, Quinton," Olive Dumbarton
urged, her imagination magnifying the
importance of his statement, "and per-
haps you will find time to come and tell
me what he says"
II shall certainly call and let you
know" the young man replied, as he rose
and said goodnight
Il will take my leave also," said Va
lerius. "And now, Olive, keep brave
heart"
AS the two men passed through the
garden the younger said:
"Our way together lies but short dis
tance"
"Ah, yes; you live next door; but If
you are not in hurry perhaps you will
show me where you saw the foreigner
stand that night"
Certainly" responded Quinton. Then,
as they came on to the road, he added :
"There is the place You see, its's ex-
actly between two lamp-posts, each OF
which is distant and throws little light
upon the spot"
"Then how did you manage to see him

replied Quinton
'We will all work in common cause"
Valerius said, turning his prominent blue
eyes, now full of anxiety, upon the young
man.
"And we must succeed" added Ouin-
ton, emphatically.
Veronica cast glance at him full OF
gratitude. Her belief in his ability was
unbounded; what he sought to do he
must certainly accomplish.
"That brings me to mention what
was anxious you, Mrs. Dumbarton,
should first year." said the young man,
