nearly as it concerns you. Her ex-

She believes you have stolen the dia-

The first step to take in this inves-
t%igation," the lawyer proceeded, sis to
appeal to Rachel. She has been silent
all this time from motives which l,
who know her character, can readily
understand. 1t is impossible after what
has happened to submit to that silence
any longer. She must be persuaded to
tell us, or she must be forced to tell
us. on what grounds she bases her be-
lief hat you took the moonstone. The
chances are that the whole of this
case, serious as it seems now, will
tumble to pieces If we can only break
through Rachels inveterate reserve and
prevail upon her to speak out"

there before you or before me to prove
that you are the person who wore the
nightgown?'
The objection electrified me. 1t had
never occurred to my mind until that
moment.
Search your memory and tell me
this" said Mr.. Bruff; did anything
happen while you were staying at the
house-not, of course, to shake Rachel's
