The Tbs Slave Of Silence GS zxI;z:zzz xiEzs

Of the gloomy looking house, which was opened
after pause by a little man in an invalid chair
Beatrice looked at him in surprise She gained
some courage from quick glance at the hall
with its electric lights and fine pictures and the
magnificent flowers in pots and vases everywhere
No desperate characters could occupy a house
like this, she told herself, and in any case a
helpless little man in chair could not prove
formidable antagonist
"G hope | have not made any mistake" she
said "If this is 100, Audey Place"
This is 100, Audley Place. Mrs Richford. -
the little man said. will you he so good as
to come this way and shut the door? 1 have
been expecting you"
"It was a letter that l received from nv
friend, Colonel Bennington" Beatrice said. "Uc
asked me to call and see him here. hone he
is not ill.,"
have not noticed any signs Of illness" Sar.
tors said drily. 81 have no doubt that tbe
Colonel had very good reasons for asking Won
to to come here, in fact he did so to oblige me.
The Colonel is out at present. He is stavinc
with me, being fond of the air of the place I
dare say he will be back before you CO."
Beatrice nodded in bewildered fashion tn
some vague way it seemed to her that her host
was making fun of her. there was inst faint
suggestion of mockery in his tones Was there
any plot against her on foot, Beatrice wondered
1Vu WIZ come thls way, Sartors said
quietly we shall be more comfortable As the
eveningis by no means warm Won will nerhs ne
not object to the temperature of my room. II
you are fond of flowers, you may admire IL
little cry of admiration broke from Beatrice
at the sight Of the conservatory room She
had forgotten all her fears for the moment Grad
ualy she let the atmosphere of the place steal
over her. She found she was replying to lot
of searching questions as to her past and the
past of her father, Sir Charles. No, she had
no papers, nor did she know where to find those
keys

hear all that was taking place in the study.
But Bennington decided that he would leave
that for the present 1t mattered very little what
Sartoris said to Beatrice for the gist of the con-
versation could easily be gathered from the girl
on some future occasion. But opportunities for
examining that strange dining room did not offer
themselves at every hour, and Bennington made
up his mind to make the best of it. He pulled
ON his boots again, and set to work
For some time there was nothing TO reward
his search. The carpet appeared to be intact.
the table solid structure of mahogany And
yet there must be some means of moving that
table up and down.
Bennington removed the flowers and the table
cloth and looked underneath. So far without
success. He raped in a reflective wav ON the
solid legs and they gave back clear ringing
sound. With smile of satisfaction, Berrinston
took pocket knife from his vest.
Then he bent down and slightly scraped one
of the solid-ooking legs. The edge of the knife

Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-10

Il knew your father very well at one time,
he said. II saw great deal of him in India.
In fact he and l were in more than one ex-
pedition together"
what year was that?" Beatrice asked quite
innocently.
To her surprise Sartoris gave signs of irrita-
ton and anger, He turned it off moment later
by an allusion to neuralgia, but Beatrice was
not quite satisfied. Beatrice resolved to be on
her guard.
II will do what I can for YOU" she said. "If
you come and see me-"
II am afraid that is impossible" said Sar-
toris, who had lapsed into his bland manner
once more II am sensitive of peoples remarks
and all that kind of thing. | dare say you will
think that am morbidly selfeonscious, but then
have not always been cripple. I was as
straight yourself once. Fancy little crooked
| figure like me in hanson eahl"
Beatrice started violently. The words had re-
called painful time to her. She recollected now
with vivid force that on the night of Sir
| Charles disappearance a little crooked man in
hanson cab had been the directing party in
the outrage.
The girls instinct had led her swiftly to the
truth. She felt, as sure as if she had heen told
that this man before her was at the bottom Of
this business. She knew that she stood face to
face with the man who had stolen the body Of
| Sir Charles Darryll, For a moment Beatrice
fought hard with the feeling that she was going
te-faint Her eyes dilated and she looked across
at the man opposite. He was lying back in his
chair feasting his eyes upon her beauty, SO that
the subtle change in the girls face was not LOST
upon him.
IT seem to have alarmed you about something, >
he said. What was III Surely the spectacle o.
crooked little man like me In hanson cal
is not so dreadful as all that. And yet thos,
must have touched upon a chord somewhere

| "You>dont mean to say thatl" Sartoris cried
In his turn he had almost betrayed himself
He could have cursed himself aloud now As il
was, he forced an unsteady smile to his lips.
/ II mean to say that the police are very clever
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-10

Sartoris nodded but the triumph that filed
| him found no expression on his face. Bennington
was no better than fool, after all; few fair
words had disarmed him. Sartoris would gain
all he wanted and when that was done he would
take good care that Bennington did not leave the
house
you have made very wise decision" he
said. "And | thank you for having some CON
fidence in me. Will you wait for me in the
dining roomw
Bennington intimated that he would go into
the dining room and smoke cigar. He was
free to depart now, but he was going to do
nothing Of the kind.
Bennington stepped into the dining room and
closed the door behind him. But he closed it
with his hand hard on the turned lock so that
it should sound as il It had banged to, whereas,
directly the handle was released it would fall
open little way Bennington was not going to
leave anything TO chance, and he had no hesi-
tation in playing the spy.
From where he stood he could near the wheels

and the timid voice of girl speaking

teeth 81 will see that no harm comes of this

pumped as to her fathers papers and the like
Still, thanks to my little adventure tonight,
have pretty good idea what these scoundrels
are after. I'll just go as far as the study and
see that it is all right"
Bennington slipped off his boots and crept
along the hall. So far as he could see all was
quiet. There was a double door to the study
so that Bennington could not hear much, but
the inner door had not been closed It was
only necessary to swing back the baize door to

Of the carpet leaving the brown boards around
intact. BY accident more than anything else
Bennington had stumbled on the secret The
pressure Of foot on the curb had set some
hidden lever In motion; the clever machinery was
doing the rest
Standing in the fireplace Bennington watched
for the effect The floor sank away If work
ing on a pivot; il came around with the other
side up, and on the other side was a carpet quite
similar to the first in pattern. There also
another table which came up on q swinging bal
anee 90 that everything on IL would not be
disturbed
We'll, this is a pretty fine Arabian Niehts'
form OF entertainment" Bennington muttered.
Il wonder If | can keep the thing half suspend
ed like that whilst I examine the vault beneath.
| suppose If push the lever half back u will
remain stationary. That's iti" The lever be-
ing pushed half back caused the machinery TO
lock so that the floor was all on the slant.
There was kind of space below which appeared
to be paved and bricked like a we'll Into this
the full rays of the electric light shone. IL was
easy to jump down there and examine the place,
and Bennington proceeded to do So

old clothes hudded together in corner In
an idle way Berrington turned them over A
collar fell out from the rest and Bennington took
it up--a white collar that had been worn for

fell on the name plainly set out in marking ink.

now, l am possibly on the verge of an i'm
portant discovery. If you could kill me with
one look and destroy my body with another you
would do it without hesitation. And that is
the reason, my good friend, why I am going to
the door"
Don't" Sartors implored. He had become
mild and pleading "You are quite wrong
Remington; / once heard you say that there
was good in everybody"
Generally" Bennington admitted "But you
are an exception that proves the rule"
Indeed | am not. There is good in me-
tell you and | am going to do a kind and dis
interested action tonight. l swear that if YOU
interfere you will be the cause of great unhap
pness in a certain household in which / am
interested. mplore you not to let your idle
curiosity bring about this thing / apneal ~
you as gentleman"
In spite of himself Bennington was touched
He had never regarded Sartoris a. anything Of
an actor, and he seemed to be in deadly earnest
now, Was it just possible that the man bad
it in him to do a kindly thing? II 80 il seemed
pity to thwart him. Bennington looked fairly
and squarely into the eyes of the speaker. but
they did not waver in the least. The expression
of sartoris face was one Of hopsIesSness rot
free altogether from contempt.
"I can't say any more" he said "open the
door by all means, and spoil everything II
is in your hands to do SO and curse your our
vulgar curiosity afterwards. Cali me mad \
you like, but had planned to do kind ching
tonight"
so that you may benefit from il in the end
Bennington suggested.
"Wel, put it that way if you like" Sartori,
said with fine indifference, "But ii does moi
matter You can sit down again, The knocker
has gone, evidently"
But the door sounded again. Sartoris turnad
aside with a sigh Despite his suspicious. Bsr'
rington felt that his conscience was trouhlino
him. He would never forgive himself if he prs.

taken and my friends got copies and sent them
to me. They only arrived today or they would
not be here. They will go to Scotland Yard
in the morning"
Beatrice. inclined her head coldy. She knew
the whole thing was quick and ready lie, and
she could not for the life Of her pretend to be-
iieve it, She buttoned her jacket about her and
stood up.
Il viii not detan you any longer" she said.
If | canAfnd what you desire will let you
know. l can find my own way to the door"
Wait till Bennington returns" Sartoris urged
HE Will not be long He is not in the house
yet, but he will be sorry he has missed you"
Beatrice stood before the glass putting her
hat on straight She could see over her shoulder
in the direction of the door, and there in the
gloom with his finger to his lips stood Berring,
ton. There was just a suggestion of surprise
in his eyes. but the look he passed the oirl was
command to keep herself well in hand. The
mere fact that help was so near gave her a new
courage, She smiled as she turned to Sartoris
''Well, l am afraid that | must be going "
she said please tell the Colonel when he comes
in that am sorry to have missed him. He will
understand that"
There was the faint click of kew in the front
door, and two people came noisily into the room,
They were young and handsome man and an
equally young and handsome woman. And vet
though they were strangers to Beatrice tbev
were at the same time curiously familiar The
girl was trying to recall where she had seen
them both before.
1--WE are rather late" the man said with
wink at Sartoris, Business detained us. Yes
we are also rather hungry, having had no din,
ner to speak of. Hullo l say, look here no
you mean 70 say that you are fool enough To
keep our photographs in our very last disguise y
Something like an oath broke from Sartoris
as he glanced at Beatrice. The girl could moi
control herself for the moment; She could not
hide from sartoris and the others that she knew
now that she was in the presence Of Counties,
de la Moray and General Gastang in their proper
person
Those are not your photographs at all" sar
toris eroaked, "As matter Of fact / only got
them from Paris today. II you will"
The speaker paused as Beatrice was steppins
| towards the door. All of them realized that shs
