The Opal

Serpen!

By FERGUS HUME, Author f "SW Mystery a Ksnsom Cab," Mandarin's Fan." Etc. Coyyrffht. IMG. by O. W. Dl!Mnsham Company.

A "doubtful" adrertlalne medium, like other doubtful thin; mirh as eKKs , apt to be -dear at any price."

"I think we have learned something of It lately, Mrs. Tawsey," was Paul's gTim reply. "But tell rue" "Wot my pure angel sunbeam said? I will, and If It gives you nightmares don't blame me," and Mrs. Tawaey, in her own vigorous, un?rammatical way, related what she had heard from Sylvia, who was now sleeping quietly. Paul went to find Ilurd and related all that had taken r!ace. The detective was equally horrified along with Beecot when he heard of Sylvia's danger and set to work to prove the truth of what Maud had told the girl. He succeeded so well that within a comparatively short space of time the whoto matter was made clear. Mrs. Jessop, alias Mrs. Krill, was examined; Tray was found and questioned; Matilda was made to speak out, and both Jessop and Ilokar had to make clean breasts of it. The evidence thus procured proved the truth of the terrible confession made by Maud Jessop to the girl she thought to strangle. Ilurd was amazed at the revelation. "Never call me a detective again," he said to Paul, "for I am an ass. I thought Jessop might be guilty or that Ilokar might have done it. I could have taken my Bible oath that Mrs. Krill strangled the man, but I never for one moment suspected that smiling young woman." "Oh," Paul shrugged his shoulders, "she was mad." "Whatever made her tell Miss Norman what she had done?" said Kurd. "Because she never thought that Sylvia would live to tell any one else. That was why she spoke and thought to torture Sylvia, as she did, in the same way as she tortured that wretched man, Lemuel. If I hadn't come earlier to Rose cottage than usual, and If Deborah had not met me unexpectedly at the station, Sylvia would certainly have been killed. And then Maud might have escaped. She laid her plans well. It was she who Induced Matilda to get her sister to come to Kensington for a chat." "But Matilda didn't know what Maud was up to?" "No. Matilda never guessed that Maud was guilty of two murders or designed to strangle Sylvia. But Maud made use of her to get Deborah out of the house, and it was Maud who made Tray send the letter asking Mrs. Purr to come to him, so that she also might be out of the way." "Well," said Hurd, "I went with the

old woman to the address given in that letter which Tray got written for him. Ue wasn't there, however, so I might have guessed it was a do."

"But you have caught him?" "Yes, in Hunter street He was loafing alout there at night waiting for Maud and quite ignorant of her death. I made him tell me everything of his connection with the matter, lie's as bad a lot as that girl, but she had some excuse, seeing her grandmother was a murderess; Tray is nothing but a wicked little imp." "Will he be hanged?" "No, I think not. nis youth will be In his favor, though I'd hang him myself if I had the chance and so put him beyond the reach of hurting any one. But I expect he'll get a long sentence." "Anl Mrs. Krill?" "Mrs. Jessop you mean. Hum! i don't know. She apparently was Ignorant that Maud killed Krill, though she might have guessed It, after the way in which Lady Rachel was murdered. I dare say she'll get off. I'm going to see her shortly and tell her of the terrible death of her daughter." Taul did not pursue the conversation. He was sick with the horror of the business, and, moreover, was too uuxious about Sylvia's health to take much interest in the winding up of the case. That he left in the hands of Ilurd and assured him that the 1,000 reward, which Mrs. Krill had offered, would be raid to him by Miss Norman. Of course, Pash had known for some time that Maud was too old to have been born of Mrs. Jessop's second marriage with Krill; but he never knew that the widow had committed bigamy. He counted on keeping her under his thumb by threatening to prove that Maud was not legally entitled to the money. But when the discovery was made at Beechlll and Stowley churches by Miss Qian, the monkey faced lawyer could do nothing. Beecot could have exposed him and for his malpractices have got

him struck off the rolls; but he simply punished him by taking away j Sylvia's business and giving it to Ford. That enterprising young so-1 licitor speedily placed the monetary 1 affairs on a proper basis and saw that !

Sylvia was properly reinstated in her rights. Seeing that she was the only child and legal heiress of Krill. this was not difficult. The two women who had illegally secured possession of the mouey had spent a great deal in a very wasteful manner, but the dead man's Investments were so excellent and judicious that Sylvia lost comparatively little and became possessed of nearly five thousand a year, with a prospect of her income increasing. But she was too ill to appreciate this good fortune. The case got into the papers, ami every one was astonished at the strange sequel to the Gwynne street xaystery. Beecot senior, reading the

papers, learned that Sylvia was once

more an heiress and forthwith held out an olive branch to Paul. Moreover, the frantic old gentleman, &3 Deborah called him, really began to feel his years and to feel also that he had treated his only son rather harshly. So he magnanimously offered to forgive Paul on no conditions whatsoever. For the sake of his mother the young man buried the past and went down to be received in a stately manner by his father and with joyful tears by his mother. Paul and hi3 respected father sat tip till late discussing the matter. "And now, sir," said Beecot senior, grasping the stem of his wineglass as though he intended to hurl it at his ton, "let us gather up the threads of this infamous case. This atrocious woman who tried to strangle vour future wife?" "She has been buried quietly, ner mother was at the funeral, and so was the father." "A pretty pair," gobbled the turkeycock, growing red. "I suppose the government will hang the pair."' "No; Captain Jessop can't be touched, as he had nothing to do with the murder, end Sylvia and myself are not going to prosecute him for his attempt to get the Jewels from Pash. Mrs. Jessop, much broken in health because of her daughter's terrible end, has gone back with her husband to live at his house in Stowley." "What!" shouted Beecot senior. "I?

that she devil to go free too?" "I don't think she was so bad as we thought," said Paul. "I fancied she was a thoroughly bad woman, but she really was not. She certainly committed bigamy, but then she thought Jessop was drowned. When he came to life she preferred to live with Krill, as he had more money than Jessop." "And therefore Jessop, as you say, had free quarters at the Red Pig. A most immoral woman, sir most Immoral. She ought to be ducked." "Poor wretch," said Paul, "her mind has nearly .given way under the shock of her daughter's death. She loved

'Whent" he asked, tahing her in hit

arms. that child and shielded her from the consequences of killing Lady Rachel. The Sandal family don't want the case revived, especially as Maud is dead, so Mrs. Jessop as she Is now can end her days In peace. The government decided to let her go. She knew that her daughter had killed Lady Rachel and shielded her. But she was never sure If Maud had strangled Krill, as she feared to ask her. But as the girl was out all night at the time of the murder, Mrs. Jessop, I think, knows more, thai she chooses to admit, nowever, the treasury won't prosecute her, and her mind is now weak. Let the poor creature end her days with Jessop, father. Is there anything else you wish to know?" "That boy, Tray?" "He was tried for being an accessory before the crime, but his counsel put forward the plea of his age and that he had been under the influence of Maud. He has been sent to a reformatory for a good number of years. He may Improve." "Huhl" grunted the old gentleman, "Now that that blackguard, Hay?" "He has gone abroad and is likely to remain abroad. Sandal and Tempest kept their word, but I think Ilurd put It about that Hay was a cheat and a scoundrel. Poor Hay," sighed Paul, "he has ruined his career." "Bah! he never had one. If you pity scoundrels, Taul, what are you to think of good people?" "Such as Deborah, who is nursing my darling? I think she's the best woman in the world." "I suppose that Matilda Junk creature had nothing to do with the murder?" asked Beecot senior. "No. She knew absolutely nothing and only attacked Deborah because she fancied Deborah was attacking Maud. However, the two sisters have made it up, and Matilda has gone back to the Red Pig. She's as decent a creature as Deborah, in another way, and was absolutely ignorant of Maud's wickedness. Ilurd guessed that when she spoke to him so freely at Christchurch. "And the thug?" "Ilokar? Oh, he is not really a thug, but the descendant of one. However, they can't prove that he strangled anything beyond a few cats and dogs when he showed Maud how to use the roomal that's the handkerchief with whroh the thugs strangled their victims."

cd his father. "I know that. So this J

Ilokar goes free?"

"Yes. He would not strangle Aaron Norman because he had but one eye, and Bhowaneo won't accept maimed persons. Failing him, Maud had to attend to the job herself, with the assistance of Tray." "And this detective "Oh, Ford, with 'Sylvia's sanction, has paid him the 1,000, which he shares with his sister. Aurora Qian. But for her searching at Stowley and Beechlll we should never have known about the marriage, you know." "No, I don't know. They're far too highly paid. The marriage would haTe come to light in another way. However, waste your own money if you like. It isn't mine." "Nor mine either, father," said Paul sharply. "Sylvia will keep her own fortune. I am not a man to live on my wife. I intend to take a house in town when we are married, and then I'll still continue to write." "Without the spur of poverty you'll never make a hit." grinned the old gentleman. "However, you can live where you please. It's no business of mine, but I demand as your indulgent father that you'll bring Sylvia down here at least three times a year. Whenever she is well I want to see her." "I'll bring her next week," said Taul, thinking of his mother. "But Deborah must come too. She won't leave Sylvia." "The house is big enough. Bring Mrs. Tawsey also. I'm rather anxious to see her. And Sylvia will be a good companion for your mother." So matters were arranged in thla way, and when Paul returned to town he went at once to tell Sylvia of the reconciliation. He found her, propped up with pillows, seated by the fire, looking much better, although she was still thin and rather haggard. "I am so glad, darling," she said, holding Paul's hand in her thin ones. "I should not have liked our marriage to have kept you from your father." Mrs. Tawsey snorted. 'Tlis frantic par," she said, "ah, well, when I meet 'im if he dares to say a word agin my pretty" "My father is quite ready to welcome her as a daughter," said Paul quickly. "An' no poor one either!" cried Deborah triumphantly. "Five thousand a year, as that nice young man Mr. Ford have told us is right. Lor', my lovely queen, you'll drive in your chariot and forget Deb by." "You foolish old thing," said the girl fondly. "You held to me in mj troubles, and you shall share in my joy." "Allays purvidln' I don't ave to leave the laundry in charge of Bart an' Mrs. Purr, both bein' infants of silliness, one with gin and t'other with weakness of brain. It's well I made Bart promise to love, honor and obey me, Mr. Beecot, the same as you must do to my own lily flower there." "No, I am to love, honor and obey Paul," cried Sylvia. "When?" he asked, taking her in his arms. "As soon as I can stand at the altar," she replied, blushing, whereat Deborah clapped her hands. "Weddln's an' weddin's an' weddin's ag'in," cried Mrs. Tawsey, "which my sister Matilder being weary of 'er spinetering 'ome 'ave made up 'er mind to marry the fust as offers. An' won't she lead Mm a dance neither oh, no, not at all." "Well, Deborah," said Beecot, "we have much to be thankful for. all of us. Let as try and show our cratitude in our lives." THE END.
