Kilsip accepted these little attentions with the utmost gravity, yet they were not without their effect on him, as the keen-eyed lawyer saw. Calton was a great believer in diplomacy, and never lost an opportunity of inculcating it into young men starting in life.
Madame Midas was present, with Kitty seated beside her, the latter looking pale and ill; and Kilsip, with a gratified smile on his face which seemed as though he had got a clue to the whole mystery, was seated next to Calton.
My theory is this. When Moreland got out of the cab at Powlett Street " "But he didn't," interrupted Calton, angrily. "Let us suppose, for the sake of argument, that he did," said Kilsip, quietly.
Kilsip, of the detective office, a fact which made the worthy doctor uneasy, as he could in no wise divine the meaning of it. However, he made no remark, but took the seat handed to him by Mr. Calton and prepared to listen. Calton locked the door of the office, and then went back to his desk, having the other three seated before him in a kind of semi-circle.
Kilsip took no heed of the remark, but took a small bottle out of the pocket of the coat and held it up. "I also found this," he said. "Chloroform," cried everyone, guessing at once that it was the missing bottle. "Exactly," said Kilsip, replacing it. "This was the bottle which contained the poison used by by well, call him the murderer.
When he left the gaol, however, he went straight to the police-office and told his story, when a warrant was immediately granted for the arrest of Jarper. Kilsip took the warrant and went down to St Kilda to Mrs Villiers' house to see her before arresting Jarper; but, as before described, Jarper came down to the house on business from the bank and was arrested at once.

"Get out, you whelp," croaked the old hag, shaking one skinny fist at her, "or I'll tear yer 'eart out." "Yes, she can go." said Kilsip, nodding to the girl, "and you can clear, too," he added, sharply, turning to the young man, who stood still holding the door open.
"I suppose we'd better go at once," he said to Kilsip, as he lit a cigar. "That old hag may go off at any moment." "She might," assented Kilsip, doubtfully; "but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if she pulled through. Some of these old women have nine lives like a cat."
Meanwhile, Kilsip remained seated in his chair, humming an operatic air and chinking the handcuffs together, by way of accompaniment. He felt intensely pleased with himself, the more so, as he saw that by this capture he would be ranked far above Gorby. "And what would Gorby say? Gorby, who had laughed at all his ideas as foolish, and who had been quite wrong from the first. If only "
"Oh, it's all right," said Calton, nodding to Kilsip, "there won't be any difficulty in proving an ALIBI. But I say," he added, turning to Sal, "what were they talking about?" "I dunno," answered Sal. "I was at the door, an' they talks that quiet I couldn't 'ear 'em.
