cousin.
A quarter of an hour later and Mack
worth had found the shop in the Kings
Cross road, entering which, he asked
for Lorenzo Bartolini, when low-sized,
thick-set man i'll his shirtsleeves, and
with his face, hands and head all COW

workshop at the back TO see him.
Lorenzo, whose black, round eyes as
sumed a startled expression when his
visitors calling was made known to him.
appeared willing to give whatever in
formation he could but that was little
in itself, and conveyed nothing more
than what Pietro had already stated
This man had never known Mezza in
timately, but had seen him few times
when he had stayed with Pietro in
Hammersmith, and had fallen into that
friendly intercourse which foreigners in
a strange land quickly form. He had,

relzo had stopped him.
But that Mezza had wished to hold no
conversation with his acquaintance soon
became plain to the latter, who accord
ingly went his way without learning
much of the man he had encountered.
The chief impression Lorenzo carried
away from this meeting was that
Mezza was drunk.
You are sure of that" said Mack
worth.

CHAPTER XIV.

The news Maclworth received from
the Partisan police that Marco Mezza
had returned to the French capital at
the end of July, and had quilted it again
on the day succeeding that on which
David Dumbarton had departed for
England, came as surprise to the in
spector For. in the first place, it
proved that Pietro's statement regard
ing Mezza's movements was true, and,
in the second, it formed an unexpected
link in the association of this man with
the tragedy of the Hexton road.
No longer did the slightest doubt re-
main in Mackworth's mind regarding
the perpetrator of this crime, for which
an innocent woman yet stood accused
Mezza had taken his revenge and full
filed his threat at the risk of his own
life.
