If I'm ever tried for murder again

His face expanded in a broad grin,
and giving me friendly grip, he
swung open the door.
The first thing I did when I got
outside was to search for a cigarette.

slit open the envelope with q
certain curiosity Even in the midst
of my own troubles had found time
to wonder more than once what sort
of emotions the arrest and trial of
his nearest relative had aroused in
the mind Of my distinguished kins-
man. The note had been addressed
from 3 st. James Mansions, and
was dated the previous evening.
MY Dear Nicholas:
Since you will receive this as soon
as you have been cleared of the ap-
palling charge at present hanging
over you, I hope to be the first to
offer you my congratulations and
to express the profound relief which
the news Of your acquittal will bring
to your family and friends.
Il am extremely anxious that, be-
fore you take any steps at all with
regard to your future, you should
give me the opportunity of Offering
you my advice and assistance. I shall
be at home tomorrow evening from
5 to 7:30 and I trust and hope that
you will come straight here directly
you are at liberty to do so. Your
affectionate cousin,
SEYMOUR TRENCH"
folded up the missive and re-
placed it in its envelope.
What has he got to say about 1t
ALP" I asked.
Have you seen him or talked to
him?"
nv CracuoIl hac;to+ad ayrro - i
an interview at my Office. He wanted
to know whether any money would
be required in order to provide for
your defense, but I assured him that.
as far as that side of the matter
was concerned, there was no occa-
sion to worry. I need hardly add
that he was extremely agitated and
and distressed"
Yes" I said. II imagine that 1t
must have upset him-quite a lot"
My companion cleared his throat
TO man Of Sir Seymour's tempera-
ment and position" he observed, 1.-The
shock was naturally a severe one. At
the same time I see no reason for
doubling that his concern was princi-
pally on your account. I am sure
he will be prepared to do everything
in his power to help and encourage
you at this-this difficult juncture."
We'll, We shall see," I remarked.
put the letter in my pocket and
rose to my feet.
"Good-by. Mr.. Cresswell," I said.
I'm unutterably grateful to you for
all your kindness. but feel too stupid
and dazed to express myself intelli-
gently just at present. I'll ring you
up in the morning and we'll make
an appointment.
He shook my hand again. That's
the idea" he replied. You only want
rest, as I've already told you. Go
home and take things easy. and in
a few hours you will be looking at
everything in fresh light. Remem-
ber you have nothing to bother your
head about now-nothing whatever"
We walked out together into the
corridor. where We found the warder
lounging against the wire netting.
I am going to leave my client in
your hands now" said Mr.. Cress-
we'll. I'VE should like to avoid anv
unnecessary fuss or publicity. so if
you can see him of quietly as you
suggested ="
Quite easy. sir" chimed in the
other. There's a way out at the
back what We keep special for that
purpose" He gave me a touch on the
elbow as though from force of habit.
You come along O. me, Mr.. Trench,
