abusing this poor creature. You gave
Joe money to have the landlady's tes-
timony agree with his. She never got
that money! meaningly, 'but gave the
desired evidence. Joe had found out
something"
The speaker stopped. There re-
msMned a crucial test If Lord Rons-
dale had the paper what John Steele
was about to say would cause BIN no
surprise. He would be prepared for it.
The words fell sharply:
''The landlady's son, Tom Rogers,
was at the time in the house, in hiding
from the police. He was concealed
above in a small room or garrett.
Through a stovepipe opening, disused,
he looked down into the sitting room
below and heard, saw air.
The effect was instantaneous, mag
ical. Lord Ronsdale sprang to his feet.
John Steele looked at him, at the wav-
ering face, the uncertain eyes. No
doubt existed now in his mind. Gillett
had not secured the paper or he would
have given it to his patron when they
were alone That fact was patent
The document was gone irretrievably.
There could be no hope of recovering
it. The bitter knowledge that it had
really once existed would not serve
John Steele long. But with seeming
resolution he went on: 81 had the
story from his own lips" deliberately,
"put in the form of an affidavit, duly
signed and witnessed"
''This is a subterfuge."

he spoke he stepped nearer the desk,
in his hand a paper.
"What is it?' Lord Ronsdale de-
| handed testify.
Mr. Gillett did not at once answer.
He looked at John Steele. The latter
stood like a statue. Only his eyes were
turned toward the nobleman, to the
thin aristocratic hand yet resting on
the edge of the drawer
eff your lordship will glance at it?'
said Mr.. Gillett, proffering the sheet.
The nobleman did so. His face
changed. His eyes seemed unable to
leave the paper. Suddenly he gave q
smothered explanation, tore the sheet

ward the fire.
