Everyone who knows Sir Carlos
Carew Will recognize the solitaire found
in the dead wonan's hand, and, If
there should be any doubt about 1t,
look at the initials on the gold at the
back-'C. c. The same letters arc on
a C diamond of the set"
No one spoke, but all ayes were
turned upon the tall pale-faced man
who held the dropping figure of q
In his arms.
Now, when the necessity arose for 1t,
the spirit of the Carews came back to
Sir Carlos. He raised his read proud
ly, and the color rushed back to his
face.
Have you I'M more to say2" he
asked Hiram West, and his tone was so
full of contempt hat many who had
pronounced him guilty in their hearts
wavered.
II say this-I give Sir Carlos Carew
In charge for wilful MURDER" was the
reply. l see a wedding ring on the
poor girls finger. Heaven only knows
whether she was a wife, or whose wife
she was. Never mind; I have sworn
to avenge her. Superintendent, will
you replace In her hand what you took
from 1t, and there let 1t remain until
the jury have seen 1t? And now re-
move that man-that murderer! I viii
appear against him. I will bring him
to his death as surely as ne brought
about hers!'
Two policemen went up to Sir Carlos
n stood one on either side. Their
the little crowd swayed and opened
and a beautiful girl passed through 1t
looking neither to the right nor to thu
left, and laid her hand on Sir Carlos's
arm.
1T is all false, Carlos" she said
~passionately. You have loved me, and
l love you Nothing will aver make
me believe that you are guilty. l am
proud to proclaim my love for you and
my firm belief In your innocence" And
the W fair women chung to him low
ingly.
II must do my duty, Sir Carlos" said
the superintendent. IT must take you
In charge"
Il am quito willing to go with YOU
replied the baronet. You need use no
force. But let me speak to my mother
for a few minutes before l GO"
81 do not know whether I can let you
do that" said the superintendent doubt
fully.
II shall not keep you long. You can
stand at the door of the room. Do not
think | have any fanciful notions of
making my escape. I pledge you my
word as a gentleman to go with you
wherever you wish me to go, but let
me see her for five minutes first"
After a few moments hesitation the

were raising the stiff, silent figure rev.
erently; 1t was to be carried to Lynn
Mavis to await the c~oroner's inquest.
The crowd were slowly dispensing, but
groups of weeping women and horror
stricken men still stood about. The
baroness had gone back to the house
in unutterable dismay, but Lady Gladys
kept near to Sir Carlos. The signs and
tears became loud, bitter sobs and cries
as the mournful procession, consisting
of the master of Firholme, with his
three stern guardians, his mother. and
the girl who loved him. passed within
the portals of the house.
You will drive into Lynn Mavis,
hope" said Sir Carlos to the superin-
tendent. You will not object to a
closed c~arriage?"
ANY wish of yours on that point
shall be carried out" replied the officer.
He was still anxious and unsettled
about the interview. 81 nave but little
time to spare, Sir Carlos" he added.
The master of Firholme opened the
door of one of the little ante-rooms that
led to the drawing-room.
II merely want to talk to my mother
for q few minutes" he said. "Place
one of your men outside that French
window and stand at the door here
yourself; then you will be satisfied that
there will be 10 attempt at escape
and the mex minute mother and son
were alone.
