CHAPTER NV.
|" HE good news was broken TO
Claire by her father In the
dead OF night She had thus
some hours in which TO prepare
for what she was resolved should be
her last conversation with Daintree on
the subject of Tom. And she antici-
pated not only the last. but the riskiest
of SO many risky interviews She felt
that ineffable relief might prove harder
to conceal than intolerable anxiety,
and so no sooner were her worse fears
dissipated than new fears took their
place.
She went for a ride with Daintree
and he wearied her more than ever.
1t was heavenly June day. but lus-
cious fields and gorgeous sky Were
nothing TO the poetaster. His own
rhymes thereon at once usurped and
exhausted the subject. A volume of
his verse was in the press; every sight
sound or word suggested a quotation.
Claire tried hard TO think of all that
he had done. She found herself think

With the new year came i'll tidings
from Australia. An investment had
turned out badly. Daintree's interests
in general were suffering from his alb
sence. The very next day James
Daintree led Claire Harding into her
fathers library and. even with his
face in happy flames, struck an atti-
tude before the writing table.
.'She is miner he cried. 'She has
consented to share the poets bays, to
divide with Esau his inheritance in the
wilderness
1t was notable that no consent was
asked of Nicholas Harding. He sat
back in his chair. with a stified sigh of
unspeakable relief. Claire never for
got how his hands felt as he took both
of hers and drew her toward him.
But you spoke of sailing at once
said he. cloaking eagerness with an
air of extreme depreciation. "It would
have to be very hurried affair"
The first cloud crossed Daintree
face.

But his old landIady shed tears as
she described her last interview with
the prisoner at the bar 1t was with
difficulty that things which Tom had
said on that occasion and to which she
had already sworn at Maryiebone could
be wruug a second time from her un-
willing lips. '.ril pay him" and .'Fll

were not the worst of the words which
were extracted by degrees. Then the
stick was produced in court, and the
knob that had been SO clean and
creamy was now clothed over with
scaIy. russell skin. like a coat of glue,
ut sight of which the witness turned
as white as her hair and was given
glass of water in the box The stick
was then duly Identified, the jury in
formed that the prisoner had described
* to witness as "a rod in pickle" for
the deceased and the witness allowed
to stand down after a brief but painful
cross examination. in which the good
souls fopdness for Tom was betrayed
by signs that touched him as deeply as
anything could Just then. His brain
was Keeling under the dread weight of
her evidence against him. He felt its
influence upon judge and jury as
paI,able force. Its very reluctance
only heightened its mortal effect.
Jonathan Butterfie,d exhibited a like
demeanor with like result. 1t only
showed that the prisoner had not lack
ed those common attributes of the
worst rascals an engaging manner and
the power of imposing on the simple
minded. This witness. however. swore
marks of blood upon the prisoner when
they were together. And though his
sly successor as positively swore that
such a stain upon the kerseymere
waistcoat had first aroused his suspi-
cions in the garden at Kew, and
though this was afterward proved In
the medical evidence to be blood
stain. it was eventually established
that the blood was not that Of the MUIR

gained in cross examination of the po-
lice officer upon whom Tom had jump

smile. and the prisoner at the bar
longed incontinentiy for the end.

The recognition was mutual, and
Tom held out his hand.
His hand was taken with an evil
grace. In a little. however. the other
loosened n not uufrfendly tongue. but
one so biasphemous and so foul that
Tom half regretted his advance. He
could not regret 1t altogether. The
