CHAPTER XX.

THE CHILL HAND,

Was the message from her lover or from that villájn Tattersatt?

Her refusat piquod me, and I was half-inelized to suggest to her that it was from the ono or the other. Still, in this marvellons mate of mystery I saw it was not at all a judicións pro- coding to show my hand. What I already knew was of value to me in ray offorts to piece together the bewildering pale.

The I reflected, the more convinced I became that the visitor in back was none other than the dreaded woman whose thfatened ven geance was known to be imminent-La Gioia the Mysteriou

The visitor did not touch you?" I askod Neither did she give you any nota?"

I had myself seen, Bonshow I could not-get rid of the conviction that Sir Henry's wife, the woman who had taken this secret journey from Atworth to London to have a clandestino interview with some person whom she refused to pams, knew the truth regardingtolis

the colonel's death.

Nevertheless, as far as I could discern, this point had no connection whatever with the curious seizure by which my love had so nearly lost her life. The visitor in black was unknown.. the evil influence she had left behind her was Incomprehensible. I was plunged in a veritable Bez of perplexity,

Render, I think you will admit that finding myself in this curious position-the most extra- ordinary, porhaps, in which a nun could possibly be placed---I was justified in slightly neglecting the practice of the man for whom I was acting. So inconceivablo, paradoxical and insoluble wore the facts that the mystery gripped my very being. Yot no exegesis was forthcoming. My love was in deadly peril, and I alone could, by careful watching, save her from falling into the enningly-concealed traps prepared by her ene mies. If I could but disentangle the skein of circumstances I might slicit their meaning. But, alas, a voil of imponetrable darkness was over all. The move I tried to seek out the truth, the deeper it seemed did I become involved in events that were queer and utterly enigmatical. If I could but discover the identity of La Gioia! That name rang in my oara, sleeping or waking, La Gioia! Evor En Ginia

Ach!" he cried. It is extraordinary that is all we can say."-

Tho room is nothing less than a death trap." I remarked:

And yet the baneful inquence is mysterious one. I wish you could tell us the name of the sonder of the mosage, Misa Wynd. It would materially aasist us in our researches:**

I tell you that it was a friend who could have no object whatsoever in making any attack apon my life," she answered ambiguously.

But this woman, I continued.

La Gioin was, in itself, proof of some unknown guilt, and the latter she would doubtless conceal from me by giving in- correct answers to any questions.. This was but natural, In the nuts of enemies, as sho undoubtedly wes, she was equally suspicions of all around her.

As I sat over my lonely breakfast on the fol: lowing morning, there being already a couple of patients in the waiting-room-derks who had come for doctor's certificates" to enable them. to enjoy a day's repose--the girl brought in the letters, among them being one for me which had

"Quite certain," she responded withent he tation. She was an utter stranger.".

I exchanged glances with Hoofer. The my-leon forwarded from Shrewsbury by my mother,

stery, was still inscrutable,

Again we all four went to the door of the room of mystery, and Hoefer, still crunting in dissatisfaction, declared his intention to re-enter the place. Seen from the hall there was certain- ly nothing about the apartment to excite sus picion. It was bright and comfortable, with handsome substantial furniture, sage green haugings and a thick Turkey carpot into which one's feet sank noiselessly.

**It is a viak,” exclaimed or ladyship, when Hoefer made the monument. Death lurks in that placo. Lot as dose and lock it"

ch! no, madame he responded. It is no risk, now that we have the prophylactie." And turning to me, he handed me a little of the last injection which he had given to Beryl, together with the phial of other and the syringe.

Use this, if necessary" he said, briefly, and then leaving as he crossed the threshold and ex- amined every nook of the room. The window was still open, but he closed and festered it. Upon a little writing tade in the cerner lay the soiled sheet of note-papor that Beryl had obtained on her first visit to the library, thus proving the trath of her story. The door swang to, as before, and after about are minutes he again emerged.

Scarcely had he crossed the threshold when he yare vent to a loud ory.

He had again been seized. The unseen hand of death was upon Him Truly it was an nu- canny mystery.

Without a second's delay I filled the syringe, rubbed the flesh with other and then ran the needle beneath the skin med b

The superscription was in a formal hand, und on reading it I was surprised to find that it was from a firm of solistors in Bedford Row, stut- ing that my Uncle George, a cotton-spinner in Buty, had died, leaving a will by which I was to receive the sum of one thousand pounds as a legacy. I read the letter time after time, scarcely able to believe the good news,

I

But an hour later, when I sat in the dingy office in Bedford Rew, and m uncle's solicitor read a copy of the will to me, I saw that it was a reality-a fact which was ins deed proved by the cheque for fifty

unds which he landed me for my immediato use. drove to the Joint Stock Bank in Chancery Luas, cashed the draft, and returned to Bayswater with five ten-pound notes in my pocket. From a state of penury I bad, within that single hour, become possessed of funds. True, I had always had expectations from that quarter. But I had, like millions of other men, nover before been possessor of a thousand pounds. In a week or two the money would be placed to my credit. To a man with only half-a-crown in his pocket a thousand pounds appears a fortune.

I counted the crisp now notes in the privacy of the doctor's sitting-room, then tooking thres of them in my portmanteau, took a cab down to Roman kond to receive Bob's congratula

tions:

He was delighted. He sout Mrs. Bishop out for a bottle of the best champagne procurable in the neighbourhood, and we drank merrily to

my future anècess.

Than, while smoking a cigarette over what remained of the wine, I related to him my strange adventures of the previous night.

"Because I saw her in this street on the evening before last, evidently in search of you, She passed several times, and glanced aeross here. Yet she tells you, or her consin ratior Fou that they were not in London at that time."

"Are you certain P” "Absolutely."

But how did you recognise her?" I demand; ed eagerly. Why, you've never seen her!"

He started quickly. By the oxpression on his face I recognised in an instant that he land inadvertently betrayed to me the fact that they were not strangers,

He knew her! And be had tried to dismande me from following up the slight chao I hud obtained. With what motive? This man whón I had believed was my friend had played me fulee.

The discovery was as a blow that staggered. me.

He had spent his life in the 4study of micro-organisms, and knew more of staphylococci streptomeci, and pneumococci than any other living man, while as a tox- ipologist he was scknowledged even by his clever compatriot in Germany as the greatest of them all.
