Mrs. Caroline Lpottery, the captain* next door neighlmr at the Corner House, la balled a witness. CHAPTER VI. (Continued.) . v The Verdiot* Mrs. Upottery was an upstanding woman, and her face, not remarkable for Its alluring femininity, indicated unusual strength of character. It was a square, somewhat rugged face, wrin kled, with thin expressive lips, a slight mustache above the upper lip, a thick nose above the mustache, and a small black bonnet above the nose. She wore complete mourning. Her black- gloved hands were crossed at her waist and in one hand was a purse and a black bordered handkerchief. As a bulwark of the respectability of Mr. HUgay's establishment she left noth ing to be desired. “It was said yesterday,” she began, “that I occupied the next room to the late captain." She glanced roiind the court superciliously and In particular showed her contempt for the Jury. “And what If I did? I couldn't help it, nnuM TV of in could I? "My good woman' "Excuse me! I’m not your good wo man," she said, leaving the coroner for the first time at momentary loss for Retort. "If that Is all you have to say H — “It len t all I have to say.

But don' know that all London will be putting two and two together this blessed day, and saying that Mrs. Upottery had the room next to the captain's, and that it was In a boarding house—and there you are! My character gone! Espe cially as there was no room on the other side of the -captain's. So I’ve come to explain.” '•What?’’ “Well for one thing, I think I'd bet ter tell you that that tooth out of l comb that the swell young man found behind the captain's door came out of my comb." 'Yes?” the coroner encouraged her. ‘And how did It get Into his room?” “It got In there like this,” said Mrs. Upottery. "I was engaged to be mar- ried to the poor captain.” And she burst Into sobs—sobs which had at least the effect of quenching an Incipient laughter In the public assem bled. , 'This engagement was secret?’ questioned the coroner, kindly. "Yes,” said Mrs. Upottery, controll ing herself. "Henry wished It to be so.’! Instantly the coroner and. the report ers made a note to tbs street that the deceased’s. Christian name was Hc/iry, '.'Was It of long standing?” . “I came to, the Corner House on the 11th of October” ‘ "That was the day after tho captain arrived,” the coroner put In. ”1 think It was. And the captain took a fancy to me at onoe. He didn't aay much. He didn't .say anything. But I could see It. I wanted to be fair with him, so I took on opportunity of telling him that I’d burled my third. But that made no difference. He was set on me. It was In his eye. He found out that I had the., habit of tak ing a walk In the Embankment Oar- dene most fine mornings and hs fol lowed me there. Then he fell 111. I used to nurse him a little, but quiet like, because In them bonrdlng houses you can't be too particular, and no one ever saw me In his room. Then he proposed to me. Said he'd never loved any one for twenty years, since his first wife died, and would I loin my fate with lilt, and I said I would. And he wee sitting up In bed. And he kiss ed me: and my comb fell out and I trod on It. and that's the explanation of that tooth, and I'm telling you because these things always do come to light sooner or later, and lt’a best as I should keep nothing back, delicate as my poeltlon "When was the proposal?" •Monday last." The day before the captain met his death?" ' "The day before the captain was murdered,” said Mrs. Upottery, terrible emphasis. The revelation of the singular Idyll had a strange effect on everybody present. It appeared to be so lntl- wlth And'there wae mate a commingling of.the farcical and the tragic that people wanted to grin and weep In the same moment. "The courtship was quite brier. Mrs. Upottery?” ventured the coroner. "Yes. But he fell In love at first sight,” said the wrinkled creature who had represented to Captain Pollexfen the charm and sweet seductiveness ' her sex. And she said It In such voice that none of her hearera dared move a muscle. “Have you any theory as to the cap tain's death?” the coroner asked. ”1 have,” said she. “And It Is more than a theory. Henry wae captain the steamship Volga that traded Odessa" "What liner "I don't know what line. How 1 should I know What line? You men ought to be able to find that out, surely. There aren't forty steamships named Volga, I suppose?” She seemed hurt. ''Continue,” said the coroner. “His boat was In Odessa 'harbor while the riots were on there. And Russian pollcs officer that was being pursued by the'mob took refuge In the captain's dinghy, and the captain rowed him off to his ship and saved his life. The leaders of the mob called on the captain to give him up, and wouldn't. Not him! Then the captain received a note from a secret society sentencing him to death. Now, Tm sure the captain’ was killed by a secret agent., I know he was." "Why do you think that?" asked the coroner. ”1 slipped Into Henry's room after he’d been out on Tuesday evening about 9 o'clock, just to see If he wasn’t any worse for his walk, and there waa another man In the room, a youni man, a foreigner, I'm certain. Ah Henry saya to me: ‘I'm busy with this gentleman for a minute, Mrs. Upot tery,’ he says. And the man bowed a foreign way, and I walked out. never thought at the. moment there might be anything wrong.” ‘‘Did you see this mysterious for eigner go?” “I didn't see him go and I dicin' hear him go. And I never saw the captain olive again. 1 "And you heard nothing during the night?” “Nothing, and I never saw the cap tain alive again,” she repeated, her black-bordered handkerchief at her eye*. “I am obliged to you for coming for ward,” laid the coroner. "If you have nothing else to tell us you may step down." <v "One moment,” said the foreman of the Jury. Mrs. Upottery turned on him like a tigress. “Was the captain In fear of his life?” "He pretended he wasn’t, poor brave fellow!" answered Mrs. Upottery. And she stepped ' down. She had awed the court, the Jury, and the pub lie. There were men present who re garded the captain's death as a narrow escape on his part of having married Mrs. Upottery. “One more witness, sir,” said the coroner’s officer. “Just come, sir.” "Who Is that?” A well-groomed, youngish man, oh vlously of the city, stood up. ”1 had Instructions from my prin cipals to take a cab here at once, Mr. Coroner, and offer you all the help In their power.” The voice was fresh and glib. “And who are your.principals?" "Messrs. Graham, Farquhar & Gra ham, of Cannon street shipowners— owners of the Volga and two other steamers. “Swegr him," said the coroner I aeon lcally. The new witness gave the name of Lancelot Sprague and described him self as manager to Messrs. Graham, Farquhar A Graham. ‘The late Captain Pollexfen waa In yqur firm's service?” the coroner be gan. "Ha had been. After hla last voyage he retired.” - “When was that?" "About seven weeks ago.” "He had been with you long?” "Several years. My principals were perfectly satisfied with him.” “He retired simply because he wished to retire, then?" "Yes; at leaat he gave no other rea son." "How old was he?" "Rather over alxty, I should- say.” “Then, as he was retiring, he must have had some savings, something to live on?” "He had over two thousand pounds Invested In our business. It was yield ing him an excellent percentage. And my principals were very much surprls- ed, not only at his sudden retirement, but at, his strongly expressed desire to have his capital at once. When ho waa Informed that capital could not bo disturbed so quickly as that, without serious Inconvenience and perhaps loss he was annoyed. He seemed In the highest degree anxious to handle all the money he possessed at the earliest possible moment. He called on us several times to thts end. Ultimately we arranged to satisfy him.
