CHAPTER XIV.
The Prisoner in the Cock.

~HRISpMAS that year was a
I season of black gloom for
~ uncle and myself at Scotney
House. I think that we both found
II the harder tc bear because Of
the festivity that we knew to be
around US. 5'r...s... ...
In the housekeeper's room had
to see holly and bunch Of mistle-
toe--in less profusiop than usual
out OF a welI-meant but rather
iudicrous idea OF sympathy-over
the pictures on the walls and de-
pendent from. the ceiling. On
Christmas Day itself sounds OF mer-
riment coming from the servants
quarters indicated that some, OF
them, at all events. had been able
to throw on the prevalent atmos,
phere of melancholy under which
the rest OF the house. suffered, but
there was at least one who failed
to wear the cheerful countenance
which suits that festive time.
This was Granger. His express
sion at its brightest was meyer
hilarious, and ever since the night
OF our tragedy a smile appeared
more OF an impossibility even than
before 70 his rugged features. His
silence, and dourness seemed TO
have Increased upon him out OF
fellowfeeling with his masters
grief and trouble. and as he was
the most constant OF our attendants
at meals he certainly did not help
TO make them merry I.

speaking equally freely with me.
He may have kept things back. but
II he did he never let me discover

belief | vas fully informed by him
of the progress of the case, That
was the more Likely and easy, be-
cause there was really SO very lit
tie to record. He was an absolute
optimist. or so professed himself,
nevertheless, about the police
methods. r
"They are close on his track"
within a day we are sure to lay
our hands on him." It was always
in some terms like these that he
made his report to me about the
hunt for the elusive Captain vi
bart. Now It was In Paris that
they had heard of man who. IT
was practically certain, must be
he. The next time saw him they
were just about &c capture the cap

they had run him to ground In

the end; and, secondly, that IL was

The police search for the knife,

like a weapon with which the
wound might have been made, but
II did discover one rather notable
object and in very unexpected
