are a court of law willbe tho prop er place- and 1 am ready when you are anything mora mr warwick turned and was about to address himself to the officers when the door of the study once more opened and a ttentteman with a military hearing entered it was major sveriey although the only man present who knew so much was rich- ardkirigv the majors face wasclouded andi7gry glare sat in his eye i rt hcsl- t tatod for a m6racntwhen he sawtbobom- pny that stood on the floor facing each other i beg pardon gentlemen he said i am afraid i have interrupted yourr i only wish a few words with d king who will perhaps favour me with a sbprt private interview ig moved as if to retire to another m with the major but tho two officers drew themselves up between him and the door he did not take any further notice of tbe matter except that his face reddened suddenly and he requested tho major to follow him to the other end of the room where they stood together in nn cmbrasuro of the window here they conversed awhile in low tones those of richard king gradu- ally becoming louder and more angry what villain has done this he said turn ing towards tho lawyers i gave my friend major saverley a cheque for three hundred pounds in payment of a business transaction between us and when he presented it at my bankers yesterday afternoon he was refus ed payment m r warwick spoke i can see sir that your letters of this morning still lie unopen ed on the table if you had consulted your corrcsponilence you would not have requir ed to ask the question kingrushcdto tho tablo and look inghastily over the letters selected ono and tore it open a few seconds wcrcsufficient to give him tho qist of its contents a writ of attachment issued upon my bank account 1 who was scoundrel enough to do this it is not necessary to use strong lan guage said mr warwick in level business tones i issued it you were in pos session of a largo sum of money which be longed to a client of mine and i had certain information that that money was being rapidly withdrawn from tho bank i felt it my duty to protect her interests and so put a stop to your operations upon the account the major looked both angry and crest fallen by jove king you have done me this time what do you propose now this gentlemen ho said turning to the others is not a business matter as king said but a debt of honour and i call upon him lb pay mo at

there mr charles king with the murder of his brother i saw him come hero that night af tor dark firtially disguised in iho dress of a groom saw him speaking to old stokes the butler and bribing him to silence by the gift of a banknote i saw him enter this room by the window and next morning i saw his brother sitting in that chair deadwith a knife at his heart that man is bis brothers murderer 1 they vicar turned pale to the lips and taggered as if to fall francis gray who had returned with stokes and some others while richard king was speaking aprasfg forward and assisted the vicar into a chair he seemed about to faint and stokes with the instincts of his calling poured out a little brandy and put it to the sinking mans lips for a few minutes the whole company was paralysed into silence richard kings eyes glowed with tho triumph he hod achieved over the prostrate man and ha turned boldly to stokes stokes he said you have still that banknote and i have its number here in my pocketbook pro- duceit stokes as it were involuntarily turned and looked at francis gray ah its there bit exclaimed rich ard king he has it has he then let us have it it was ono of a number of notes in which i had paid to mrs king on the afternoon beforo the murder the quarterly allowance which she had from rowan king and that note has never been returned to tho bank 1 demand its production francis gray put bis handto his pocket as if to produce the note but stokes stepped forward no mr francis he said with great delib eration its my turn to speak new and i am agoing todo it i got ten pun note that night from mr charles but that charge of murder will not stand law for i hecrd the crownerv quest say in this very room that there can be no charge of murder laid against no man if tho dead body was not found and mr richard king here though he sought as hard as any man cn seek never got no dead body of rowan king he wanted my master openedthats what he wanted but he did not manage it if theyd agreed lo open me why they might a done it bttt no king of yewle was ever yet opened and i felt it my duty not to let my master mr rowonbe opened by no doctor in england how did they know ho was dead tnoyd a bpenodmr geoffrey or the rest the aaraejwavvarid how woulditarbecn thenr to bpensomc body let them open me but my master they shall not f tho old butlersjspoke with wonderful earnestness and fluency and only at this point mused as if forced to take breath wo know it quite well stokes said mr warwick kindly no one knows your fidelity and affection to your dead master better than i hut this is an awful charge that has been brought against his brother s and though none of mr charless friendt could believe it passible i only wish tha mr rowan wero resting among his ances tors instead of being wo know not where ah thats it mr warwick said tho old man with an eager look in his eyes and speaking now almost in a whisper its that charge as has determined mo to speak wiaesi

he was unconscious himself of the light coming bock upon his memory from hat distant day on which tho combination lock had been fixed inus place and when bis dead brother had given nim the secret of it no one shall ever bo able to open it but you and me charlie ho had said and now tho powvrinlbolts flew back and the mossivo door swung wide open j j every eye was turned to tho isafe in a mo ment on a shelf stood an object covered with faded velvet its original colour no ono coumteil w richard king observed tho solicitor tako the paper with curiosity and striding for ward closed the door of tho safe without locking it w is there anything more he demanded rather impatiently 1la good deal more mr richard king answered mr rintoul m i have only re cently discovered that there was a later will than that under which you havo occupied this estate and here it is i i believe you areallmadaaidrichardking in a voloe of passion the will which left yowlo to me was made on tho last day of rowan kings life 7 so was this mr richard king tbe same parties who witnessed the first will witnessed tho second they told me tho first was written on blue paper the second on white i got the blue one this as you see is tbe white will arid it is tho last one its a forgery 1 exclaimed king angrily ja forged will would hardly bo found w here we found this and it is not a favour able ono for yoo mr king by this deed uw testator revokes the will which ho had thataa 1 ec a a mr rowan is where ho ought to be mr warwick in his own coffin i a movement of sensation surged through the group of anxious listeners and for a few minutes no ono spoko the vicarraised himself by his hands in the chair and was heard to murmur as if in prayer thank god thank god 1 and was it true stokes asked mr warwick solemnly that your master had been murdered itwas not true but a black he nor was there no knife in tho body at this moment the old family physician dr hayle who had come in with stosca stepped forward what stokes says ts truo began tho doctor mr richard king two days ago horrified mrs king and her daughter at the vicarage by making tho same gross charge against the j vicar that you have now heard him make and as ho had mentioned my name to them they came to ask my advice i had always had a suspicion that stokes out of devotion to his master and from his knowledge of the peculiar ca taleptic affection which hod run through some generations of the kings hod some thing to do with the removal and disposal of the dead body richard king had sold to mrs king that i believed mr rowan had been murdered i must admit that i had a suspicion from a dark stain which i saw on the waistcoat of the dead man there might have been foul play in these circumstances and in view of the poignant distress and alarm of mrs and miss king i camotothcconcluseonthatlmus findstokes and force him to tell me what he know he did so after some pressure and i at once procured a warrant from the- mayor to hayo the body disentombed landothertwo doctors made a careful examination of tho body and have sent in a scaled report to the mayor i may only hero say that there was no knife and no wound in the body and that we wore unanimous in tho conclu on from all tho symptoms that mr rowan king died a natural death thestaln which i saw on the waistcoat and which had led to my suspicion of foul play was easily ex plained it was the result of the discharge of some colored liquid on to mr rowans clothes in the course of one of hu many chemical experiments the nature of tho liquid an ordinary chemical solution is explained in our report to tho mayor i can only think from the diligence with which mr richard king had fought to discover the body that he had hrpod mr rowan hail been murdered and ho must have roado that awful charge to the poor distracted wife and daughtor to servo some vile pur pose of his own it is a lie 1 a feeling of relief pervaded all who listen ed to tho doctors statement except perhaps richard king ho stood still but with a slight pallor on hit face j turning tostokes mr warwick asked who assisted you in this business 1 wilson and varley and me did it sir we laid him in the coffin as had been pre pared for him and wo j said tba burial ser vice to the beat of our abilities j for tho last king of yewlo wasnt to be buried like a heathen no more than opened and wo
