set et forth proposed to suicide Is 1 there any mention of o murder Nose I 1 demand demand that this letter be put In as evidence There Th re was a deep dep silence In court the tho silence of ot wonderment at the extraordinary turn which h threat threatened ened to develop and then suddenly the hush was broken In a manner maRner as unexpected as a It was waa dramatic Lord Bardley ashen of face ace and trembling fn Tn every ever limb rose roso from rom his seat In uncontrollable excitement his long lean arms arm flung lung despairingly out o t She told me she he had h d destroyed tho letter he ho cried He turned furiously toward Lady Sara Sarn menacing her with his pats fists utterly forgetful In the ghastly dread read that had seized upon him of O where he be was wa and how he ho

to his hI senses But Dut he was waa as like a man mon dis distraught distraught utterly beyond control It became necessary that be ho should Ib be conducted out of court He was led away mouthing strange oaths and pouring Invectives upon the head of ot Lady Sara who sat In her place pale Indeed but still supported by the magnificent courage that was wa natural to her herBut herBut But Dut sew new Re tho the case caso against George Hilton had as all assumed a new aspect In the t e absence of Lord Bardley who by his laiB wild outburst had practically admitted the authenticity of the letter

but hut hat had voluntarily killed himself this letter had been bun found hidden away at the bottom bottoni of at one of ot the stolen jewel cases Mr correspondent who was admitted te to t be Ite a woman was in complicity with the thieves at atthe atthe the same time she ahe considered that she owed a debt of ot gratitude for fer some seme unexplained reason to Mr Hilton and because of this
