looked forward with delight to seeing the
emptied we'll yield vp some CHASTITY secret
perhaps another murdered bo1y-and it
was only by the exercise Of much stern
ness that Sergeant Westaway was able to
ally escorting them off the farm and lock
ing the. gate after them.
He returned to the well to see Detec-
tive Gillett emerging from, it. Gillett was
carrying the bag and the lantern in one
hand, and it was obvious that the bag con-
tanned something heavy. The triumphant
face of the detective, as he emerged into
the upper air, indicated that he had made
some important discovery. He stepped off
the ladder and emptied the contents of the
bag on the ground. They consisted Of \
heavy pair of boots, hob-nailed and iron
shod, such as are worn by country laborers
and farmers, and ive-ehambered revolver.
The revolver was rusty through immersion
in water, and the boots were sodden and
pulpy from the same cause.
Inspector Muchison and Sergeant West
away inspected the articles in silence. At
length the former said:
81 would direct your attention to the
fact that. it is a Welby revolver-one of
the two patterns approved by the war Of
flee for army officers said Detective Gil
lett. UNLESS | am much mistaken it is a
45-that is the regular caliber for the
army. And | have discovered more than
that"
The police officers ceased looking at the
articles on the ground and directed their
eyes to the Scotland Yard detective in re-
spouse to the note of exultation in his
voice. In answer to their look he put his
hand into side pocket and withdrew
small article which he had wrapped in a
handkerchief. Unrolling the latter care
fully, he held up for their inspection a pair
of gold-rmmed eyeglasses.

CHAPTER II.

I'VE have evidence, Captain Marsland,
that the statement you made to Sergeant
Wastaway regarding your discovery of the
dead body of Frank Lumsden at Cliff Farm
on the night of Friday, October Is, is I'M
true
If Detective Gillett had expected the
young man to display either alarm or re-
sentiment at this statement he was disap-
pointed. Marsland made no outward sign
of establishment at being addressed by his
military title by the detective or at being
accused of having made false statement.
With steady eyes he met the detectives
searching gaze.
In response to request telephoned by
Detective Gillett to Sir George Granville's
house at Staveley, Marsland and Crewe had
motorcd over to Ashlingsea police station.
They had been met on their arrival by the
detective and Sergeant Westaway, and
after constrained welcome had been con-
Quoted to the sergeant's inner room. The
door had been carefully closed, and Con-
stable Heather, who was in the outer room,
had been told by his superior that on no
account were they to be disturbed
There was such a long pause after De-
tective Gillett had exploded his bomb, that
the obligation of opening up the situation
suggested itself to him.
"DO you deny that he asked

out any indication of embarrassment the
young man made his reply.

"Well, perhaps you know your own bust

that you are in very serious position. 1t
is for you to decide whether the truth will

me?'
