"Mr Hates has reoeltcd a vUlt (na Mr. Hax," mIiI MIm Dalrj-utple, with feminine suav.ty that 1 coutd not too much njlrcj "and she wa equally pun Hi! ami outspoken with hlui. Were ou not?" "I were, miss, I do not wish to sell mjseir, though untoltl ptld were offered. I urn an honest woman, ami no one txu . ever righteously accused me o.berways.' "Surely Mr. Hax hat not been attempt- Ins to bribe you, ma'am?" I said. In a Vine or Indignation. "Xo one who known jou would try to tamper with jour In- trgr.'ty lijr suggesting payment for lutor- to t ton.

Aw drey, a I hare told others" Mid Mr. Ita'ea; "and am not ashamed of owning to It before the Queen hereelf. And noth ing shall make me leave Coneyford. where I am not ashamed to show my fare any day In the week." "Of course he would have been Tery clad to get you out of the way, ax If you nere a criminal?" "lUit I were not going. Dr. Awdrey cannot deny that I gce blra warning." "And why did you sire htm warning?" I asked, seeing that the point lay there. HecauM he unrighteously accused ue of meddling with hU bottles, which 1 will takt my otlh I nerrr touched. The bot tle of harsenlc layed there marked on the door. I trill not say that Mr. Hax Is not right In saying that the doctor let it slip from hi guilty hand himself, and wUhed to put It on to me hi cam of In quiries. I know that he ast me orer and over again to atop after I gave warning, and offered a rle in my celery, myln It must be the cat ns knocked the bottle down. Hut I see the trap that was laid for me, and would not atay, which Is mer ry I'm sure or ( might now be In the condemned cell." She rambled on a long while to the same purpose, while I made notes of cer tain facta, and from time to time exa 1ratrd her to further rambling; but when he bad re'-rated all her facts halt a dotrn time, and I saw there wa no more to be got out of her. 1 row and old: nat I enough for to-day, ma'am; but I bate no doubt you will repeat all you hare said to-day It you are asked to do to." She glorified her own utradfastnem and enae of rectitude, and so went away. Miaa Italrymple had sunk Into a tAalr, nd mrt ray gate with a louk of dejection. Hhe was evidently disappointed that I had not persuaded Mrs. Hates from her adverse opinion. "I am afraid my w.tnevs will do u more harm than good. This broken bot tle adds to the weight of evidence against Dr. Awdrey." I "ily dar girl." said I. taking her hand between both of mine, "that woman's evi dence la worth a king's ransom to its. You have done us an Incalculable benefit o bringing her here." OIIAITKIt XX. t waa not astonished the neat morning when my housckrej.ier brought In Mr. Hai's card. "Introduce Mr. Uax at on re." said I, In a vole that he might bear. Mr. Hsi luffed bis way Into the office like an unsound locomotive, and I gave him my band with a smile. He winked klgnlfirantly, and stretched out bis legs when he sejted lilmM-lf, feeling that lie waa master of the situation. "Well." he ld, "Is )our client willing fo hand iner the trust iiionr), or going to fight itr "I should" not adiixeliim to go to law." "No he grunted, with a noil. "Very wise, loo." "A lawsuit would drain the nutate; at the same time we have the money, and posteaalon Is nine )lnl nf the law." "The greater reason- knock the matter off at once. You propose compromise, I Mtippooc, ehV (Jood Jot) for Awdrey gut a generous man to ileal wlih. Any one else but I.yiin would hate the lot. Awdrey wants a third, or something like that, ehr "Or. Awdrey wauls s much as he can get VroMiuably. Hut, before I can sug gest any compromise on bis part, we must prove his innocence. Voii understand my iwsltlon. I cannot run the risk of being til-used of rolluslou." "Prove hU Innocence--how do oil pro x)M to do lliatV" "I suggis.1 that we hold a meeting in this olbce of all the mrll conccrni!, and Im.'te the attendants or some well known iwrxm a Justice or the pear, aye--to give Ihe inquiry publk'ily, and make a thorough examination of the af fair from beginning to end. I shall try to prove my client's Innocence to the sat Ufuctlon or the magistrate. If I fall, so much the worse for us; If I succeed I hall be very willing to listen to any terms you may projiose." "And reject 'cm," grunted, Hag; and then looking extremely sly, be pursued MJ'a as deep as you, Keen. You don't Mich me In a trap. If you get the' mag tMte and public opinion on your aide, oii'll be m saucy as you were the other My." "t shan't bo a fool, Mr. Hax. You can tlthhold jour decision as to the course ou shall take, until you have made terms lth me; It U always iien to -ou after hU examlnatlonwh ch, as I have shown on, Ii but a pro;er safeguanl of my own reputation to contest the will, and take .)iibl!c pnve.'.llngs. AH I demand U a full examination, and some public recog nition of !r. rVwdrej' Innocence, before I attempt any pecuniary accvmnnoJation with you." "We withhold our decidon after the ex ttnlnatlon until terms are made with ou," mused Hax. with his finger on his we and bis eye on the celling. "Well, I don't see much ohjectlou to the meeting n that cae. Hut the polon In the man's notith bow are jou going to explain hatr . "I may he able to prove," said I, after -i show of hesitation, "that Klexmore fear il untimely burial, and left lntructloni for mean to be taken after detth to pre vent reucltaUon. I may be able to pro luiv his wr.tten w-Nh to that effivt." "Iliat'a n clever notion,' exclaimed Itax, gasping nppruvnl. "Was It the loctor's fie-a or joutw'' "Oh. let me Impress upon ywi at once," -aid I, "that the doctor pleads not guilty to everything, and will take no measures whatever to clear hlmelf from suspicion." "Well. I'll talk It over with the Yrmec, and. It they don't object, no reason why we shouldn't fall in with your plan." We shook hands and parted with mu tual hypocrisy, and I got ray hat In order to seek the magistrate whom I had fixed on In my thoughts for the service I need ed. I went off to the Manor House t see Sir Holand KIrkln. J. l. Kir Holand was oue ot the best-known and mot popular men In the county; and he iWrved to be, for he. was a thorough ly klnd-hrarteil and generous old fellow, willing at all times to render a service and not too stupid to despite advice. I laid the case before blm, and asked If be would i-omtent to preside at an Informal inquiry should the Yeames sMe accept our proposal of going thoroughly Into the truth of what may be called the Klex more poisoning case. He gave his prom Ie to attend without hesitation, and ap proved highly of the course I had taken for making the Inquiry public, promising that reparation should be made to Aw drey on the part of bis friends and him self should It be found that the charge against blm was unjust. The next day Hax railed upon me to say that I.ynn and his mother agreed tt attend the inquiry, and I fixed It for the following afternoon at three o'clock; for. as lack would have it, I had received Just half an hour before a telegram from my clerk, saying that he bad found two men who acknowledged to stretching the rope and had agreed to tell the whole truth concerning the affair. The dispatch came from Iondon, and I reckoned upon these witnesses arriving by the morning train which reaches Coneyfoni at 10:30. In the evening I went to my frieuds. ami I also rnllnl upon Mrs. Hates, bind lug litem all to be In my office at the hour fixed . then I went home and spent the beit iirt or the n.ght In drawing up the questions to be put, for I determined that Mir Holand Firkin should b the chief actor In the Inquiry, not only be cause It would please the old gentleman, but because the question would wear less of an rx-parte aspect coming from him. The next morning I bad my otSoe table puhed up In a corner, and a long dining table brought In covered with green balxe; nit my Ink pots were brought Into requi sition and a sheet of paer laid before each chair, and the regulation water bot tle and tumbler placed at the bead of the table for the president to dip Into if the proceedings grew dry. One thing vexed me. My clerk did not arrive with the wilnewes by the 10:20 train ; however, a telegram came to say tbey would travel by the next down train, which reaches Conejford at i:lfi. At 'J p. in. I had lunched and dressed, and was looking at my natch aoxlouslj. both case from a narrowness and -nil garlty ot mind.

You cannot expect Dr. Awtlrey, by taking the hand of Mr. Yeanes, In Imply h.s belief in the gultt ot Mbu Dalrympte." "A very nice distinction.

Next came Kir Holand Klrkin: we bad a private chat in my dining room, and I put the list of qiif-nlloiw in Ins hand. Instructing him as irmlerlj as I could how to conduct the Inquiry. He was mightily pleased with his own importance. Then Hax and Mrs. Yeames arrived : Mr. Hax puffed and gasped, bowing to one and then the other wild solemnity ; Mrs. Yeames passed to her sent, after a low obelrance to Kir Holand, without ri-ivtg. nlx.ng Dr. Awdrey and Miss Dalrymple, except by drawing down her lips and con tracting her iio-flril as she might lu pass ing an unsavory dust hi-up, Aa the clock struck three Mrs. Hates, who bad been waiting outside, gave n sin gle banr?at the door and waa introdumi; her courtesy to Sir Holand and her rigid ity In sitting down, togcthe with her air of conscious virtue, gave her a strong re semblance to Mrs. Yeames for tht rea son, ptrbaps, that their airs sprang U side ot the table. Miss IHiltymple, Dr. Awdrey and I faced them on the right. Mrs. Hates sat at a little d.stance from the table; a shorthand clerk I had en gaged for this occasion, sat at the desk In the comer. Kir Holand began with a nice little speech, of course, which Included a well chosen terse from Sbakspeate, and con cluded with an earnest wish that everyone might b fouuJ perfectly Innocent ot the sbnrttlng chsrr whleh had lien brought forward. He then poured out a glass of water, took a alp, settled his glasses firm, ly on his nose, and, taking up my sheet of questions, si Id: "Mist (lertrude Dalrymple, you remem ber the day of Mr. Ueorg KlexmorVt death r "Perfectly well. she replied.

"Only a few minutes. I heard Mr. Yeames spesiklng In a high and angry lone, and I knew that could do Mr. Klex more no good.
