Agitated and excited, she lingered through the hours of the day after parting with Dudleigh. Night came, but brought no rest; and the following day dawned, and the irrevocable hour drew nigh. That day was one filled with strange fears, chief among which was the thought that Wiggins might discover all, or suspect it, and arrest her flight.

"I should like you to make some investigations." Colwyn was sufficiently false to his own philosophy of life to experience a feeling which he would have been the first to admit was surprise. "The police have already made an arrest in the case," he said. "I believe they have arrested an innocent girl."

We can arrest him on half-a-dozen charges when we please. We can have you arrested any time on a charge of conspiracy over those pictures " "Of which I am innocent; I swear it," Van Sneck said, solemnly. "Those two Rembrandts they fell into my hands by what you call a slice of good luck. I am working hand in glove with Henson at the time, and show him them. I suggest Lord Littimer as a purchaser.

And as for that ditch fairy tale, on your own say-so you wiped out all chance to prove the story." "Then you won't arrest her?" "If you'll furnish the evidence, seh." "I tell you we know she did it.

"True, but she is well punished for it. You ought to call upon her with me to-morrow."
