He turned and saw behind him
none other than that same James
Ferrers. whose narrative and confes
sion he held In his hand; and again,
lurking behind aim in The shadow
of the doorway, ne saw the pale,
narrow furtive countenancs Of Per
kins, the housemaId. For q moment
there was an intense silence, dur
ing which both seemed to hold their
breath and nerve themselves for the
struggle that lay before them.
The letter he cried. advancing
towards the other, threateningly
"The letter. Or

The other man fell back a step
and his face became ashen in hue.

The master Of the house contem-
plated the man he had that morning
discharged from his service with feel
lngs he could not have put in words.
Such utter fearlessness, such total
disregard of the consequences of the
act in which he had been caught red
handed, seemed to point either to the
most hardened criminal, or to one
who knows he is possessed of some
secret power. His voice failed him,
and once more. with mingling of
fury and incomprehensible
apprehension, he gasped, "The letter
Il insist-and your namel"
The young man advanced a few
steps. "My NAME" he said, lis"

No need to ask whether he knew

each word by pointing with his fore
finger Murderer. Cruel. cowardly

The other man staggered as though
! struck. and supported himself with
ono terembling hand on the back OF
his chair.
1T is false" he said --"falsel

Decd"
He spoke with difficulty, and again
his hand was pressed to his side.
What is that you say?" asked his
opponent, who had not caught the
last words, but who involuntarily
lowered his voice in the presence Of
such unmistable physical weakness.
"What is that you say?" he repeated.
And low can you deny aught in the
face OF this confession which l hold
in my hand?" And he shook the
envelope in his face.
This action stirred the other power

chord. Ted laid the envelope which
contained the secret, down upon the
table.

who wrote the letter which summon
ed my father to Dover?-or that you
are the other passenger who travelled

partment in the fourth carriage from

The other man bent his head. Il
do not deny it,
And you deny that the bullet that
was discovered in the padding of the
same compartment, which the fire
only partially consumed was dis
charged from the one empty chamber
OF the revolver which lies yonder?"
Il do not deny it," was the same
monotonous answer.
Then tell me-" cried the young
man. in a frenzy, tell me, whose
was the hand that fired that shot?"
Mr.. Ferrers raised his head and
answered clearly, and without hesita-
ton, "Mine"
The effect of the answer was cleo
trical.
'Whatl"-in a tone that thrilled
through the hearer-'you admit all
this, and yet, in the same breath
deny that you killed my father?"
Il never denied that l killed him."
was the calm reply of the elder man,
as his eye encountered that of his
inquisitor without fiinching. and he
seemed to have cast aside for the
all agitation and alarm.

next question and failed. His lips
