IN THE DARK.

PUT the newspaper cutting on the
table, and looked at my listeners. Clara
sat with her chin resting ON her folded
hands, and her elbows on the table,
staring straight in front of her. Monk,
who had again retired to the darkest
corner of the room, now came forward.
He was very pale, but his voice was
calm as he said:
Now / will continue. You must
pardon me, If the rest of my story
seems dry and businesslike, but it is the
only way l can persuade myself to
speak of il at all. There is. however,
not much more to tell
"Yes, but tell me, .Monk.-was Sigrid

1t was Clara who spoke. She got up
eagerly and went across to Monk.

CHAPTER II.
THE PHOTOGRAPH CANNOT LIE.

THE PHOTOGRAPH CANNOI LIZ
THE public prosecutor had begun to
read the questions which were TO be
laid before the jury, when he was in
terrupted by noise from the back of
the court Many of the public rose
from their seats in order to see better.
What could be the matter?
A messenger of the court had forced
his way through the crowd to the coun-
sci for the defence, and handed him a
letter, saying a few words, which those
nearest to him could hear. The mes
senger said 'You must read it at once,
sir; it has to do with the case now
before the court"
The counsel tore open the envelope,
read, passed his hand across his fore
head, and read the letter again.
He crushed the paper in his hand,
stepped quickly forward, and as the
public prosecutor had not resumed his
reading, he addressed himself to the
Judge, saying, 81 must ask that an
hours postponement be granted to my
client; in that time believe can bring
before you, gentlemen, evidence which
will throw new light upon the case"
x
An hour passed BY, perhaps little
more, and the court was again sitting.
The room was, if possible, even more
crowded than before; no one had been
willing to give up his seat, and there
were new arrivals
The silence which reigned showed the
excitement that possessed everybody.
The counsel for the defence asked to
be allowed to examine the chief of the
detective staff once more
The young officer stepped forward
and took his place in the witness box
in his usual quiet manner, although as
constituent was plainly written on his
face
The cowNSel-"You have already told
us that when you paid a visit to Mr..
Jurgens and so skilfully got him to
give up the diamond, he then told you
that he had bought it from the accused,
Evelina Robertson. Isn't that so?"
Eyes
Counsel did he seem TO be in any
doubt as to whom he had bought the
diamond from?'
The detective blushed at this question,
but his answer was as unconstrained
and calm as before.

he was sure it was the accused"

who could possibly have sold him the

AT first he began, with some con-
fused nonsense, to excuse himself, but
it was of no significance TO the CASE
ConnSeI-"I must Sask you, however
to give the name or the names which
Mr.. Jurgens mentioned in connection
with the diamond"
One could see that the officer was
angry at the importunate examination

utmost in order to answer calmly.
