CHAPTER xxxvlI-(continvsd)
At half past z he had been seen
near the Holt Woods. and At half.
past 6 he had returned to his cot
fage, where one of the undergame-
keepers was waiting for him. Ger
tain footprints In the wood near the
scene OF the crime had been mea-
sured. and . pair Of Gyatt's boots
had exactly fitted them. Gyatt's
manner ON his return to his cottage
had bean almost that Of . mailman
Ne had refused to SEQ the under
gamekeeper or even let him come
into the cottage. He had talked
wildly about the way of the ungodly
leading 10 destruction and had slam
med the door In the mans face.
The most important piece Of evil
Z dence. however. that had 30 far
come into the hands Of the police
was that Of Mary Shin, who had call
"a to see her father . few days be-
fore his arrest. He had then told
her that he intended to take his OVID
life and that his work In the world
Was finished.
Pressed for some explanation OF
this Wild talk. he had told her that
he was going TO give his life foT his
master; that he had. In fact. a.
rood ~ given It already. 1t was
only ! question whether the police
would take II. Mary Shil jumped to
the conclusion that her father had
killed her husband. She fied scream
ing from the house. and ran al the
way to Maitland and dropped down
1nsensible In the street. She was
taken To the hospital. and in her
Ffavings betrayed what her father
n had said to her. The police thought
ii quite possible that Gyatt had kill
"a not only Mrs.. Arthur Lowther.
but Shil. in his mad desire to shield
m master. ~

Not Z sound was heard in the
court - the biz. black-bsarded giant
tDok the oath In his loud. rough
vuice. It seemed like madness for
0yatt to give evidence. No good
could possibly come OF It. and the
man. uneducatsd and ill-eQuipped to
dofend himself against the trained
1egal mind, was certain to break
down under REORGANIZATION.
