For, as I write this, a constable sits at my elbow, and he and I are shortly to start for Scotland Yard. I have been arrested as a suspect in the case of Captain Fraser-Freer's murder! I predicted last night that this was to be a red-letter day in the history of that case, and I also saw myself an unwilling actor in the drama.
Fraser-Freer, not wanting you entangled in his plans, eliminated you by denying the existence of this cousin the truth, of course." "Why," I asked, "did the countess call on me to demand that I alter my testimony?" "Bray sent her. He had rifled Fraser-Freer's desk and he held that letter from Enwright. He was most anxious to fix the guilt upon the young lieutenant's head.

Thus you see that when you granted me the privilege of those seven letters you played into my hands. So, said I, she longs for mystery and romance. Then, by the Lord Harry, she shall have them! And it was the tramp of Captain Fraser-Freer's boots above my head that showed me the way.

At mention of young Fraser-Freer's preposterous request he whistled. "By gad!" he said. "Interesting most interesting! I am not surprised, however. That boy has the stuff in him." "But what shall I do?" I demanded. Colonel Hughes smiled.
