CHAPTER ONE

THE GROUP round the fireplace
was nearly all composed Of law
yers or those who had an interest
in the law. There was Martindale
the solicitor, Rufus Lord, K. c.,
young Daniels who had made a
name for himself in the Carstairs
case, a sprinkling of other barris-
tiers, Mr.. Justice Cleaver Lewis Of
Lewis and Trench and old Mr.
Treves. Mr.. Treves was close on so,
a very ripe and experienced So He
was a member Of a famous firm Of
solicitors, and the most famous
member Of that firm. He had set
tied innumerable delicate cases out
OF court. he was said to know more
backstairs history than any man
in England and he was a specialist
on criminology.
Unthinking people said Mr..
Treves ought to write his memoirs.
Mr.. Treves knew better. He knew
that he knew too much.
Though he had long retired from
active practice, there was no man
in England whose opinion was so
respected by the members OF his
own fraternity. Whenever his thin
precise little voice was raised there
was always a respectful silence.
The conversation now was on the
subject Of a much talked Of case
which had finished that day at the
Old Bailey. 1t was murder case
and the prisoner had been acquit-
ted. The present company was busy
making technical criticisms.
The prosecution had made a mis-
take in relying on one Of its wit
nesses-old Depleach ought to have
realized what an opening he was
giving to the defense. Young Ar
thur had made the most of that
servant girls evidence. Bentmore,
In his summing up, had very right
" put the matter in its correct per
spective, but the mischief was done
by then-the jury had believed the
girl Juries were f1nny-you never
knew what they'd swallow and
what they wouldnt-but let them
once get a thing into their heads
and no one was ever going to gel
It out again. They believed that tho
girl was speaking the truth about
the crowbar and that was that. The
medical evidence had been a BIZ
above their heads. All those lone
terms and scientific jargon-baC

couldn't say yes or no to a plair
question-always under certain
circumstances" that might taxi
place-and so on
They talked themselves out, lit
tie by little, and as the remarks be
came more spasmodic and disjoint
ed, a general feeling grew of some
thing lacking. One head after an
other turned in the direction Of MI
Treves. For Mr.. Treves had as ye
contributed nothing 70 the discus
sion. Gradually it became apparen

cook at No. AZ, he wouldn't have

He nodded his head gently:
"All converging to ards a given

comes-over the top! Zero hour.
Yes. all OF them converging to-

He repeated. Towards zero
Then gave quick little shudder.
You're cold, sir. come nearer the
FIRE"
NO, no." said Mr. Treves. Just
someone walking over my grave, as
they say. Well, well. must be
making my way homeward."
He gave an affable little nod and
went slowly and precisely out Of
the room.
There was a moments dubious
silence and then Rufus Lord, X. c.,
remarked that poor old Treves was
getting on.
Sir William Cleaver said:

"He takes pretty good care Of
himself" said young Lewis.
At that moment Mr.. Treves was
carefully stepping into his smooth
running Daimler. II deposited him
at a house in a quiet square. A so
licitous butler valet helped him or
with his coat. Mr.. Treves walked
into his library where a coal fire
was burning. His bedroom lay be
You'd, for out Of consideration for
his heart he never went upstairs.
He sat down in front OF the fire
and drew his letters towards him.
His mind was still dwelling on
the fancy he had outlined at the
club.
Even now thought Mr.. Treves

these amusing stories Of blood and

elderly gentleman sitting in front

He slit open an envelope and
gazed down absently at the sheet
he distracted from It.
Suddenly his expression changed.
He came back from romance to
reality.

a final word from their most re-

Mr.. Treves, leaning back in his

silence made him look up sharply.
