"In after him!" roared Otto; and a fellow jumped in instantly, and seizing hold of Zabel by the hose, dragged him along with him; but they were soon both carried into deep water Zabel, however, was the uppermost, and held the other down tight to stifle him.
"We are under examination, sirs, and the next thing we will hear is that he's not the only person who's been peering into this room through that hole." He was so far right that the first words of Sweetwater on his re- entrance were: "It's all O. K., sirs. I have found my missing clew. James Zabel was not the only person who came up here from the Webb cottage last night."
Frederick met that look with one so severe it partook of harshness; then, resuming his testimony, he said: "It is of the Zabel brothers I must now speak, and of how one of them, James by name, came to be involved in this affair. "When I left my dead mother's side I was in such a state of mind that I passed with scarcely so much as a glance the room where my new-found father sat sleeping.
She was greatly frighted, and changed colour when she saw the young lord come in with me, and heard that he was to lie there that night, seeing that as yet we had no more beds than we had bought for our own need from old Zabel Nehring the forest ranger his widow, at Uekeritze. Wherefore she took me aside: What was to be done?
The good Jacob, however, admonished Zabel to make up his mind for the worst, for the knight was not a man whose heart could be melted, as he himself had experienced but too well that day.

Her flight to the Zabel cottage, after an experience which would madden most women, can now be understood. She was still following her lover. The plan of making Agatha's old and wretched friend amenable for her death originated with Frederick and not with Amabel. It was he who first started for the Zabel cottage. It was he who left the bank bill there.
Sweetwater, to whom the whole scene seemed like some horrible nightmare, stared at the figure of James lying on the floor, and then at the figure of John seated at the table, as if his mind had failed to take in the constable's words. "Dead!" he murmured. "Dead! John and James Zabel. What will happen next? Is the town under a curse?"
He did not answer. A new and overwhelming complication had been added to the difficulties of his situation. Let us follow the party now winding up the hillside. In a deeply wooded spot on a side road stood the little house to which John and James Zabel had removed when their business on the docks had terminated.
The first was dated thirty-five years previously and was in the handwriting of Agatha herself. It was directed to James Zabel, and was read amid a profound hush. DEAR JAMES: You are too presumptuous. When I let you carry me away from John in that maddening reel last night, I did not mean you to draw the inference you did.
