Staley. came forward to establishvthe ,
fact that the wine-cellar was little
less than a straw-rick. and this
Metropolitan police officer appeared
to say that he had seen the hensom
lenving‘Lord \Vinton’s door shortly
before the fire was discovered. These
facts indicated the 'truth of my
statement. _
"A further fact brought out by
my legal advisers established with
mathematical accuracy the fact that
I had not dealt Lord Winton the
blow that ejected him out of life.
The wound which had caused his
death had been made with the small
blade of a. knife.
"The police found in my pocket a
knife with a smuil blade. a blade of
about the width of the wound. No
evidence of blood was found on this
knife, but the police professed to
believe that it had been carefully
They thought traces of
moisture remained on it. The case
seemed convincing. I myself realized
its gravity. and but for one (not a,
conviction might have followed.
“The nutazry showed that the
wound which haul caused the death
of Lord Winmn was seven inches
deep. The handle of the knife with
which it had been accomplished had
not entered the wound. The wound
was no longer than :he width or the
small knifwhlu-ie at its exterior
point."
Lord Valleys suddenly extended
his hand. like one who puls down
something that is finished.
“Ami l was therefore acquitted

Lord Valleys was astonished. but
he did not move. and his expression
did not change.
“You amaze me.” he said. "Upon
what mission fran this mysterious
person could you come to file?"
uUpon the same mission.“ replied
the Prefect of Police. “with which

call it. 'mysterious pcrlon.’ He died
before it could be carried out. and I
have now come to you to fulfill it.
I trust. monsleur. that yo’u will not
deny me." ‘
Monsieur Jonquelle rose. He took
a folded. legal paper out of his
pockets and presented itAo Lord
Valleys.
"Monsieur." he said. "Lord Win-
lon promised to execute this inden-
ture. lie died before his signature
could be attached to it. I must ask
you to execute it in his stead."
Suddenly. as once before on this
morning. Lord Valleys. who had been
seated the instant before. was now,
with no motion that seemed visible
to the eye, standing on his feet. He
came forward. took the paper which
Monsieur Jonquelle held in his
hand, and going over to _the table.
unfolded it and stooped over it. He
was some time in an inspection of
the document. and in the meantime
Monsieur Jonquelle had made a
gesture. as one of flicking the ashes
from a clgarct through the open
window into the Rois de Boulogne.
The two young men in their animat-
ed discussion instantly crossed the
street and entered‘ the house.
Presently Lord Valleys rose from
his stooped posture. He was
shaken with astonishment. but there
was of this astonishment no visible
clement, either in his appearance or
in his voice.
“Monsieur." he said. "this is a
deed drawn by an English solicitor.

estates in England to his grand-

“With pleasure." replied Monsieur , _.
Jonquelle. ”You have said that the .
English criminal courts are stupid. '
and I have concurred in thlt . "-
opinion. Observe, monsieur. theépvi-
dence of that stupidity. This crim-
inal court could not understand how ..
a knife-blade four inches long could i ,
inflict a direct wound seven. inches _ *
deep. They measured the knife-
blsde and the wound. these English.
and wrote it down impossible. . . .
But you. monsieur. who are Slav. ,
and I who am Latin. would hardly . i
serge at this conclusion. For we '
wou d reflect that a knifeblade‘hur

sues of the body compressed together .' -
by the impact of a powerful blow
might easily leave a wount measur-
ing seven inches in length behind it " r
when that compression was re-
leased and the tissues relaxed. It is g l
a fact. monsieur. that the Service "
de la Surete has frequently demon.
ltrated." ‘ ‘
The man at the table was motion-
less. as in some indecision. He did ~
not change. He remained only in
a sort of dreadful immobility. and g '
he seemed in this immobility to con- l
sidcr some desperate hazard. He
was awakened by the two young men
from the Rio de Boulogne. who now
entered the drawing-room. ‘
"Monsieur." said the voice of the
Prefect of Police. “I feared that I
might not be your equal in all direc- .
lions, and I have asked these two
agents of the Service to come up.
They will also be useful as witnesses
to the indenture."
Lord Valleys made no reply. He
opened a drawer of the table. took
out a. pen and attached his signature
to the deed-waited until the wit~
nesscs had signed it. blotted it care-
fully and folding it together. handed
it to the Prefect of Police.
"1 purchase immunity." he said.
"from a second trial before the
English criminal court!"
Monsieur Jonquelle received the“
indenture and put it into his pocket.
He took up his gloves. his but, his
stick: then he smiled. _
"You purchased. monsleur.” he
said. "a thing that you already pos-
sess. It is the law of England that
one who has be'en acquitted of a
crime cannot again be tried in her
courts for it!"
