Lady Brsckenstall was reclining on

than before The maid had entered
with us and begun once more to foment
the bruise upon her mistress' brow
I hope," said the lady ‘that you
have not come to cross examine me
again?"
No, Holmes answered in his gen
tiest voice, “I will not cause you any
unnecessary trouble, Lady Bracken
stall, and my whole desire is to msks
things easy for you, for I am convinc-
ed that you are a much tried woman
If you will treat me as a friend and
trust me you may find that I will jus
tlfy your trust
What do you want me to do?
To tell me the truth
Mr Holmes '
‘No, no, Lady Brackenstsli it is no
use You may have heard of any little
reputation which I possess. I will:
stake it all on the fact that your story
is an absolute fabrication"
Mistress and maid were both staring
at Holmes with pale faces and fright
ened eyes
“You are an impudent fellow!" cried
Theresa Do you mean to say that
my mistress has told a lie?"
Holmes rose from his chair
‘Have you nothing to tell me?"
“I have told you everything "
"Think once more, Lady Bracken
stall Would it not be better to be
frank?
For sn instant there was hesitation
in her beautiful face Then some new,
strong thought caused it to set like a
mask
‘I have told you all I know "
Holmes took his hat and shrugged
his shoulders. I sm sorry " he said
And without another word we left the

led the way It was frozen ever, but a

at it and then passed on to the lodge

for Stanley Hopkins and left it with
