have seen Lord Winton's assassin. :"
The Project of Police made no
comment, and Lord Valleys contin-
ued:
After some little difficulty, /
finally found the door of the wine
cellar, opened it and entered. 1t was
very old-one of those huge stone
cells which the early English built
in their houses in which to store the
choice wines of France.
1T seemed to me that this wine
celler had not been ents ed in a long
time. l was mistaken i'll tnlS I'M

have said fortunately because
this manservant, Staley, was able to
confirm my statement.
THE whole of the low vault was
cluttered with straw, piled and
heaped with it, Ike farmers rick.
1t was this aspect of the place that
gave me the impression that it had
not been entered for a long time.
And it was true it had not been
disturbed for a long time. The
walls and the floor of this cellar
were stone; the ceiling was of wood
crossed with beams dried out like
finder, and the bins, as have said,
were heaped with the straw in which
innumerable wine-cases had been
packed.
Lord Winton had described the
wine which he wished so that | could
not mistake it. But he was not Ger
tain in which bin it was to be found,
and | had to make search of very
nearly the whole of the cellar. This
did not disturb me, for Lord Winton
had fixed an hour as the length of
the visit of the person whom he ex-
pccted, and who, in fact, had arrived:
And / was not to return until that
time. 1t was, as nearly as can de-
termine, about eleven o'clock of the
night when l went down the steps
to the wine-cellar."
The man remained silent a mo-
ment as if in some contemplation.
Finally he continued:

He paused again.

to put the fire out. | made a des-
perate effort against it, there in that
underground cell, for l knew the

with smoke. 1t became very nearly

give up the fight again the fire.
Finally when l was blinded, choked
and very nearly unconscious, l broke

little forward in the chair, and his
voice took on a firmer note.
Monsieur, he said, q am saying
to you now a thing to which l testi-
fled at the English trial, and which
was not believed. Lord Winton told
me that he expected a person to
call on him within a very few min
utes and to remain for perhaps an
hour. He asked me to return at the
end Of an hour. | got up to go.
As | went down the stairway, a
hanson. entering the street from
the direction of the city, stopped be-
fore the door. The door was closed
but the sound was clearly audible.
Lord Winton, who was behind
me, came also down the steps. On
a console in the hall were several
candles which the servants, accord
ing to custom, had placed there. An
idea came to Lord Winton, for he
stopped me as my hand was on the
door to go out. He took up one of
these candles in a tall brass candle
stick, and touching me on the arm,
handed it TO me.
Instead of going out he said,
suppose you go down into the wine
cellar. There should be some bottles
of Burgundy of a famous wear
stored there by your grandfather.
See if you can find them, and we
shall have glass Of wine with our
talk. | have a great deal to say 10
you, my nephew. The wine will
sustain US
You will see, monsieur, that this
idea that was merely a grown-up
lad, come to visit an ancient rela-
tive, was quite fixed with Lord
Winton. AS the servants had gone
out, he was sending ne, as though !
were a lad icom Elton, to FIND the
VINE for our conversation. He gave
me the key, direction about the
steps and doors He even said there
was box Of biscuit on the dining
room table which l should bring up.
1t was all, you see, monsieur, quite
as though | were an undergraduate
from some English public school"
The man looked down at his firm,
placid hands resting upon and OBJ
securing the arms of the chair in
which he sat.
This" monsieur" he said, 'fs a
portion of my evidence which the
English criminal court refused to
believe. 1t was incredibly stupid"
Monsieur Jonquelle looked up
sharply at that sentence.
THE English criminal court" he
said, was even more stupid than
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-11-18

you imagine. 1t was, as you have
said, incredibly stupid"
Lord Valleys made no comment.
"There was only my word for the
statement ne said. Il could not
prove it, and yet it was the turth. +"
The man was startled by Mon
sieur Jonquelle's reply.
"One knew that, although one
would have been troubled to de-
scribe the evidence. 1t is precisely
the TRUTH said Monsieur Jonguelle.
Lord Valleys looked steadily at
the Prefect for a moment before he
spoke.
Il regret, monsieur" he said,
that you were not present in that
English court"
The man looked down again at
his wonderful hands, steel strong,
and as supple as silk; then he went
on:
at happened, however, that this
chance, which you question l.
human affairs, came to my aid. One
of the Metropolitan police on duty
on this night in the neighborhood
of Covent Garden saw a hanson
drive away from Lord Winton's
door. the time, as nearly as could
be fixed, corrcsponded with The
hour which | had indicated>in my
testimony. And for the first time in
the course of the criminal trial, the
case for the Crown was shaken.
Neither my solicitors nor the Crown
were able to discover anything
further. The driver of the hanson
could not be located, and the one
who called that night upon Lord
Winton remained a mystery"
Lord Valleys continued to speak
deliberately and without emotion.
Il do not know who this person
with whom Lord Winton had a mid
night appointment, could have been
and | do not know what occurred ut
that myterious conference, except,
of course, the resultant tragedy,
which was afterward known TO
everyone.
81 took the candle which Lord
Winton gave me and went along the
hall to the stairway, which descend
ed into the basement of the house.
l had in my hand the key to the
wine-cellar.
"The last | saw of Lord Winton
in his life was his tall, bowed back
as he stopped to open the door, his

if&inst the door Il the dim light CT

He made a vague gesture, lifting
one of his hands. softly from The
arm of the chair.

telligence failed me. If | had re-

Q 1900 Ne
Begin Here Today.

N. Jonquelle, greatest of French
tectives, was ushered into the pres.
nee of the strange and fear-com,
telling Lord Valleys, the English
Serb who had just Inherited the
title and estates of his murdered
dncle, Lord Winton.
Three lives had stood between the
Lord Valleys and the wealth of hi,
uncle. But both of Lord Winton's
sons were killed in the great war
Only one, who married an American,
left an heir and this heir, a daugh,
er, was barred by English law from
Inheritance.
Then came the murder of Lord
Winton and the inheritance of the
state by the strange, powerful and
norose Lord Valleys.
Go on With the Story
CHAPTER II
"The murder of Lord Winton, the
rise English authorities attributed to
me-" Lord Valleys continued coolly.
They spared no effort to fix it
upon me. That they were unable to
do so is not, l think, attributable
to this thing which you call Provi-
|dence.
1T is attributable rather, | think,
to the intelligence of my legal coun-
sci and to myself"
He looked directly at Monsieur
Jonquelle,' he continued. when
the war had ended with the death of
Lord Winton's sons, l was, by virtue
2t what you have so APPLY called
the accident Of BIRTH next in sue
cession to the title. l thought it both
advisable and courteous to present
myself to Lord Winton, and I went
to England for that purpose.
Lord Winton was an eccentric
person. As he grew older, and after
The deata of his sons, his eccentric
Ity became more dominant. I did
not find him on his estates at Ra-
Vcnscroft; he was at this time in
London in little old house which
the family has always owned in a
s.reet toward Covent Garden.
On the night that l called to see
lord Winton, it was quite late. I
found him alone in the house. 10
5eemed disturbed to see me, but he
was Courteous, and l cannot com
plain Of his welcome. He seemed
however, not to realize that | had
grown into a man. He seemed to re-
gard me as queer, foreign lad to
whom he owed some obligation of
hospitality"
