but l fear that l cannot make any I'M

She swept across the room and
seated herself with her back to the
window. 1t was a queenly presence
tall. graceful and intensely womanly.
"Mr. Holmes" she said-and her
white-gloved hands clasped and IN
clasped as she spoke-'I will speak
frankly to you in the hopes that it
may induce you to speak frankly in re-
turn. There is complete confidence
between my husband and me on all
matters save one. That one is politics
On this his lips are sealed. He tells
me nothing. Now, I am aware that
there was a most deplorable occur

that paper has disappeared. But be
cause the matter is political my hus-
band refuses to take me into his COM

oughly understand it. You are the
only other person, save only these

I beg you then, Mr.. Holmes, to tell me
exactly what has happened and what it
will lead to. Tell me all, Mr.. Holmes
Let no regard for your clients inter
ests keep you silent, for l assure you
that his interests, if he would only see
it, would be best served by taking me
into his complete confidence. What

Madam, what you ask me is really

She groaned and sank her face in

You must see that this is so
madam, if your husband thinks fit to
keep you in the dark over this matter

true facts, to tell what he has with

sharply as one whose doubts are re

disaster ] understood that terrible pub

and hardly answered the casual oues-
tions which I put to him. 1t was evil
dent to me that things were not go
ing we'll with him or his quest. He
would say nothing of the case, and IT
was from the papers that learned the
particulars of the inquest, and the ar
rest with the subsequent release OF
John Milton, the valet of the deceased.
The coroners jury brought in the OBJ
vious "Wilful Murder" but the parties
remained as unknown as ever. NO
motive was suggested. The room was
full of articles of value, but none had
been taken. The dead mans papers
had not been tempered with. They
were carefully examined and showed
that he was a keen student of inter
national politics, an interchangeable gos'
sip, a remarkable linguist, and an
untiring letter writer. He had been
on intimate terms with the leading
politicians of several countries. But
nothing sensational was discovered
among the documents which filled MS
drawers. As to his relations with
women, they appeared to have been
promiscuous but superficial. He had
many acquaintance among them, but
few friends, and no one whom he
loved. His habits were regular, his
conduct inoffensive. His death was
an absolute mystery, and likely to re-
main SO.
AS to the arrest Of John Milton, the
valet, it was a council of despair as an
alternative TO absolute inaction. But
no case could be sustained against
him. He had visited friends in Ham
mersmith that night. The alibi was
complete. 1t is true that he started
home at an hour which should have
brought him to Westminster before
! the time when the crime was discov,
