Christopher turned away. By the

stopped for one backward glance Sir
Gordon was on his feet. ready to
speak. He was still pale. but all the
old IRE burned In his eyes. Chris
TOPPER expected to hear the stereo-
typed words. Gentlemen Of the jury.
but to his surprise and amazement of
the Court Sir Gordon began with a
request to the Judge. Evidence of
vital importance had come to hand.
He begged the privilege Of recalling
two Of the witnesses for the prosecu-

Christopher dared not linger; but.

for the Marble Arch and the Bath
road. All four houses whose names
were written on the torn leaf from

thirty miles from Bath.
The first Of the four houses on Sir
Gordon's list was some miles on the
London side Of Bath. and Christopher
found II after an inquiry or two-a
stately Georgian mansion. His heart
leaped when he learned that the Col
lingwoods had been there. Two hours
ago. then. they had been alive and
well. This raised his hopes. and
Christopher went on In better spirits.
Mr.. Collingwood's directions to his
chauffeur had been overheard BY the
caretaker; there was no difficulty In
taking up the chase as far as the
next house visited by the blue motor.

SECOND EPISODE.
The Nuremberg Watch.

Christopher had had a hard ruI
with his motor the day before. ant
while lazily drinking his early tea II
bed he read the morning paper.
His own advertisement was there
but 1t was not that which interested
him. He had glanced over the event.
of yesterday, and at last settled
eagerly 10 reading the Mendel Pois
oning Case, as half London was do
ing at this very hour. The paper IL
his hands was an illustrated one. anC
this morning there were portraits OF
young Lady Mendell. accused Of pois
oning her elderly husband; the cele
brated X. c. who was her counsel
Miss Mendell, the sister-in-law, @
philanthrorist. and witness for the
prosecution, and Miss Mendell's sec
Rotary.
Lady Mendell looked pretty and In
teresting even In the rough Ilustra'
ton; but 1t was not the face Of the
young woman (once popular. now
nOtorious) which engaged Christie
piers attention: 1t was tn. st,onG
profile Of Sir Gordon Race. his distant
cousin. engaged for the defense.
The trial was q more than usually
interesting murder trial; for only q
few months ago the accused hsd been
prominent in society. a young woman
married to a rich old man, a City
knight. who had been received among
her girlhood's friends for his wife's
sake. Lady Mendelrs dead father. a
man Of science. had been a friend and
protector Of Gordon Race while Cor
don Race had been young and OBJ
scure. II seemed q debt OF gratitude
tbat the X. c. should defend his old
frieujH daughter; and the fact that
he had taken up her cause added to
the piquancy Of the case.
III any one can get her of. 1t will
be he" Christopher was saying to
himself. when there came a knock at
his bedroom door. "Please, sir" an

touched which will mean destruction"
This was oil: but 1t brought Chris
TOPPER Race to his feet and set his
heart humping. He bolted down
stairs. tucking the sheet Of paper and
envelope into his pocket.
Without a word to the chauffeur who
sat In the car, he sprang to the driv-
er's seat and started Scarlet Runner.
Ludgate Hill was crowded, and many
precious minutes were wasted before
Christopher could leap from the car
near the entrance to that grim haunt
Of lost hope, the Old Bailey.
The spacious new court Of the re-
built Old Bailey was crowded to over
flowing, and the heavy atmosphere
moved with the inarticulate buzz and
murmur Of intense interest and con-
trolled excitement. 1t was as the
Judge took the bench that Chris
TOPPER reached q seat exactly In front
Of Sir Gordon Race.
Christopher handed him the anony-
nous letter. and watched the elder
mans face change as he read
"what a fool l was not to suspect :"
he said. There's one person on this
earth-in this court now-who has ev-
erything to gain by putting me out Of
the fight today. Great Heaven! II had
any heart left In me, what I could
make out Of this for Lady Mendell
How I could break her enemies if-but
this has broken me. Nothing matters
here. I must get out Of this must
follow Nora-Miss Coflingwooi-and
save her"
"Send me instead. beg Of you"
broke in Christopher. you can't 60.
You'll realize that when you're your
self again. II you desert Lady Men
dell now you'll condemn her to death,
and promise you IN do all to save
Miss Collingwood and her people that
you could. Trust me and tell me
where to go with my motor"
You're right" said Sir Gordon. the
blood slowly flowing back to his white
face. "Now, listen; they were going
to Somerset to look at country places.
I remember the names Of four
houses. ! think there we're no more.

This was on the outskirts Of q village
and while Christopher finished his In
quiries there he sent his chauffeur fly
ing of in Scarlet Runner to the post
Office with a reassuring telegram for
Sir Gordon Race.
At Greystoke Hall the Collingwoods
had duly arrived. but had not even
| entered the doors, as the two ladies
had pronounced the place 'uninterest-
ing" and ''the gentleman had got into
Q temper" More time than he liked
to think Of had been wasted before
he had called at the two remaining
houses on the list. only to ind that
the Americans had not been at either.
All Christopher's fears returned. He
was at a loss what to do for the best,
for the one clue he had to the Col
ingwOOds' movements was lost; he
decided to run into Bath, which now
lay near, and call on the most promi-
nent hOuse-agents there.
Twilight was drawing on when he
drew up before the door of Richard
son and Millington. in Bath, and
Christopher was thankful to find
the office not yet closed. To his joy
his wisdom in coming was proved.
The Collingwoods had called. between
three and four O'Clock, and had spent
some time discussing particulars of
various houses In the agents books.
In the end they had found one, the

Neither did anyone guess that It had

paragraph appeared. was In every
body's mouth.
Yesterday the Mendell murder case
had come to an end, but In sensa.
tional and utterly unlooked-for way.
Sir Gordon had obtained permission
to recall two witnesses-Miss Men
dell and her secretary. Miss Men
dell, the half. sister Of the murdered
man, had been the principal witness
against Lady Mendell. She had lived
In her half-brother's house before his
marriage. and continued to do so af-
forwards; and though the whole Of
his fortune would come to her in case
Of Lady Mendell's decease, people had
said that she was already rich enough
NOT to need IT. As for Miss MendeIrs
secretary. he was an interesting

tbropic and other work. He owed
everything to her. and IL was not sur
prising that such evidence as he had
given had been in praise of his bene-
factress, In dispraise OF young Lady
Mendell.
Nobody had expected q surprise
from that quarter; but few CUES
tions from Sir Gordon Race, put to
Miss Mendell and her secretary, had
altered the whole aspect of the case.
All had seemed bewildering at first.
What did. 1t matter If young Hartley
Norman. the secretary, had looked up
for his employer some old cases where
Sir Gordon had been counsel for the
defensef What II there had been
Miss Poinsett concerned in one OF
those cases! What II Norman, In his
days as chemist, had been known
for his experiments In the Invention
OF explosives3 What had that to DO
with the Menden poisoning anair;
and what II, among other valuable
antiques. the murdered man had had
In his collection an ancient Nurem-
berg watch! what II ne mad given II
to his sister, or what II she hao

Soon, however, such questionings
had ceased among the audience. Or.

dell and Norman had been thrown
into such pale and trembling confn-
sion BY the weapon OF unexpected
cross-Questionings that 1t was as II
they became their own and each 9TH

Miss Mendell had sought to destroy
her sister-in-law's defender, lest the
woman she hated should be saved,
and the fortune she desired lost. The
secretary had helped her, not know
ing her true design, but finding 1t out,
had weakened. The one mistake In
her calculations had been in trusting
him too fully. Terrible admissions were
made bearing upon the past as well as
the present. On the incident of the MUIR

almost diabolic ingenuity. made the
