Sit down, said Hurd quietly; ''go hack tn VOLT chair"

 Jessop, with staring eyes and out spread hands, backed to the wall "Who are you, anyhow" he demand ed, hardly able to speak.
 Perhaps that will tell you," said Hurd, and threw the warrant on the table. Jessop staggered forward and looked at 1t. One glance was sufficient to inform him what it was, and he sank back into his chair with a groan leaving the warrant on the table Hurd picked 1t up and slipped it into his pocket He thought Jessop might destroy 1t, but there was no fight in the mariner
 And now that we understand one another" said Hurd, putting away his weapon, T wSnt to talk"
 "Sha'n't talk" said Jessop savagely.
 "Oh, yes, think so; otherwise l can make things unpleasant for you"
 You can't arrest me. I've done nothing"
 That may be so, but arrest you l can, and I have done so now. Tomor- row morning you will go to London in charge of a plain clothes policeman, willie go 10 Stowley,'
 ITO my crib? No, I'm blest if you do"
 T sha'n't go immediately to your crib" rejoined Hurd dryly, though l may do so later. My first visit will be to that old pawnbroker, I think if I describe you--ard you are rather mo- ticeable man, Captain Jessop-he will recognize the individual who pawned m opal serpent brooch with him short ly after the death of Lady Rachel San dal, to whom the said brooch be- longed"
 Its lie," said Jessop hoarsely, and sober enough now.
 Quite so, and perhaps it is also a lie that q man resembling yourself tried to get certain jewelry from a lawyer named Pash''-
 Jessop lost his self control, which he was trying desperately to preserve, and rose to his feet white faced and hag gard "Whc are you?" he shouted, "who are you?"
 Doesn't the warrant tell youT' re- piled his companion, not at all upset. My name is Billy Hurd I am the detective in charge of the Norman murder case. I've been looking for you for long time, Mir. Jessop."
 T know nothing about it."
 "Yes, you do; so sit down and talk away"
 ''I'll break your head"' cried the cap tain, swinging his huge fists.
 "Try"-Hurd whipped out his revolv CT, but did not rise-'at the risk of getting q bCset through yop. Pshaw, man, don't be a fool. I'm making things as easy for you as possible. Create i disturbance, and I'll hand you over to tc police. A night in the vil- lage lookup may cool your blood. Sit down, tell you"
 The sailor showed his teeth like those of snarlng dog and made as to strike the seated detective; but suddenly changing his mind, for he saw well enough in what danger he stood, he dropped into his chair and, covering his face with his hands, groaned aloud. Hurd put away his revolver That's better" said he pleasantly; take tot of rum and tell me all you know"
 "I'm innocent" groaned Jessop.
 "Every man is innocent until con- victed by a jury said Hurd calmly. Consider me a jury, and I'll size up your case when hear all. Are you innocent of both murders?"
 Lady Rachel committed suicide said Jessop. raising a haggard face. "Yes-I stiak to that, sir As to Krill's death in London, I didn't touch him; I swear I didn't"
 But you saw him On that night?" "How can you prove that?"
 ''Very simply. Norman-or krill if you prefer the old name-took certain jewelry to Fash for safe keeping short ly before his death You presented to Fash a paper, undeniably written and signed by the old man. saying that the jewelry was to be given up to bearer Now. before taking the jewe!ry to Fash. krill could not have written that paper. SO yoG must have seen him during the few hours which elapsed between his visit to Fash and his death
 This was clearly argued. and Jessop could not contradict. T left him quite well and hearty"
 ''In the cellar in Gwynne street.
 "Yes. in the cellar" admitted Jessop. At what tirne:"
 About half past s-say between s and O"
 Well. what happened:' asked Hurd. smoking quietly.
 The sailor twisted his big hands and groaned. Then he laid his head on the table and began b sob, talking broken ly and huskily. I'm done for" he gasped. "I'd knov'd 1t would come no-I ain't sorry. I've had a night mare of a time. Oh-since I pawned that brooch"-
 "Ah. Then you did pawn the brooch at StowleyE7
 Jessop sat up and wiped his eyes. 'Yes. I did But I pulled ny cap down over my eyes and buttoned Bp ny pea jacket never thought s-l Tinker would ha' knoved me"
 Wasn't fl rather rash Of you to pawn the brooch in a place where you were vel knovng
 T wasn't well known only come at times. and then I went away. Old Tinker hadn't seen me more nor once CT twice. and then I pulled down my cap aud-- Jessop. badly shaken. was
