Jj Thrilling Nqvel of Love, Intrigue, Tragedy and the Mystery of
- -a Famous‘Diamond
By MRS. C. N. WILLIAMSON,
Author o( “Tha Lightning Conductor,* 1
Eto., Etc.
CHAPTER XVIII (Concluded).
“Whtt 'a monstrous and horrible ac
cusation!" ejaculated Lady Lambsrt.
“It could only have entered the head of
a Jealous woman. Wa -all know that
'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'
—especially an elderly woman scorned
tor a young girl. Both these women
have been madly Jealous of my poor,
Innocent child. Thte Is a plot ugnlnst
her. I understand now the mystery of
the-Countess Radepolskol's sudden flit
ting. Mr. McGowan, the manager, hat
doubtleas heard of this disgraceful
scheme, and has simply turned her out.
I shall tee Mm and then. Lady Ard-
cllffe, I warn you that you had better
make your preparations to go also."
It was now Lady Ardellffe’a turn to
laugh, which she did. shrilly and hate-
- fully. "Miserable fool I" she cried,
“don't you know that you and your
' daughter are walking on the edge of a
precipice? rerhnps at this Very" mo
ment a detective has discovered the
prooflj which wtlKsend your .daughter to
“It mar be, Lady Lambert, that she
Is a kleptomaniac" said one' of the la-
dies, who was neither rich nor Impor
tant, and who had been snubbed on an
unforgettable occasion by the proud
Countess of Ijambart.
The persecuted woman did not deign
to gnewer, but, flndlng that she waa In
danger of falling Into vulgar recrimi
nation, without another word ehe swept
out of the -room. Thence ehe went
straight to her own, where she stood for
a moment'or two behind the hastily
locked door, thinking deeply.
She remembered the countess'- ear
ring, .caught In a frill of Hilary'*-dress,
for, though she had not been In her
daughter's room at the time of tho odd
discovery, she had heard the conversa
tion between Elspeth and Hilary. Yes,
•he thought, it was certain that there
wae a plot—an Incredibly wicked plot-
hatched by two Jealous, unscrupulous
women. But—would It be easy to prove
It a plot? Had they not played their
game perhaps more cleverly than she
yet knew? In spite of her furious In
dignation against Lady Ardcllffe, the
Countess Radepnlskol and alt their
friends. Lndy Lambart began to he very
much frightened.
' Suppose there really were a detec
tive In the house? Indeed, there prob
ably was one, for no doubt tho mana
ger wou|d have sent tiff-'In' hot- haste
to the nearest large town—and aufipoee
It should, be.put In. hit head to suspect
Hilary?
It Would almost surely be a stupid
gorous. Some other pitfalls might have
been laid, of which iho and Hilary
knew nothing until It was too late.
What horrible, what Irrevocable mis
chief some blundering "dctcctlvo"
might do.
Lady Lambart would fntn have talk,
ed matters over with Hilary, but feared
to tell her the truth In this girl's.pres
ent strange mood. Instead she rang
and ordered the servant who came to
have Mr. McGowan Informed that she
wished him to come.to her at once.
He did come, after the shortest of
delays, which nevertheless seemed long
enough to her; and before he had tlmo
even to ask a question Lady Lambart
began to pour out her grievances.
She and her daughter had been c
mgemmly insulted In hts house. She
wished to go at onco and consult her
London solicitor.
“But, Lady Lambart, in the present
circumstances 1 fear It Is Impossible—
that Is, I mean that It will be best for

you not to go."
“If you refer to the trifling debtM
owe you for your stay here"—began
Lady Lambart. But the manager re
spectfully cut her short.
"No, It Is not that. Indeed," ho ..
piled, "though I must confess I should
be nbllged If your ladyship could find
It convenient to pay. But, you see,
certain suspicion Is afloat; nonseni
and. cruel nonsense, no doubt; and
have done my best to prevent your be
ing annoyed. Still, there if Is; and
the affair has happened. Really, Lady
Lambart, the only thing to do now Is
for you and Lady Hilary to atay -exact
ly where you are, and.as you are, un
til the matter of the Jewels has been
cleared up—as It may be, any mtnuto.
"Is It true there Is a detective In the
house?”
Mr. McGowan raised hla eyebrows.
"Naturally there-ls—I may as welj ad
mit that, since t|e fact has been men
tioned."
"And my daughter and I are being
watched?"
"Everybody In the hotel 1s more op
less under observation.”
Lady Lambart bit her lip, and her
eyes were full of a dangerous light "I
will not keep you any longsr," she said,
"since you do not Intend to protect
me.”
“I am unable to do more than I have
done, and am at present doing. I deep
ly regret to say."
"Then, at least loave me.”
He did not require the second bid
ding. And with what Lady Lambart
suffered In that moment and other mo.
menu to come Elspeth Dear,—If she
had but known—waa fully avenged.
CHAPTER XIX.
Elspsth's Plan.
"I must see you for a. moment on a
matter ot life and death,t' Elspeth had
written to Kenrith, and had forgotten
li< her great haste and anxiety to name
u place of meeting; but Kenrith knew,
as he read, that he would be able to
find the girl through the porter, who
had furtively handed him the note.
In the new light thrown by Elspeth’s
words, the scene Just post took a new
significance. They could have but one
meaning; she had tried to warn him
against an attempt upon Oxford's life,
end perhaps his own, by poison.
Kenrith did not particularly like
Trowbridge, end he had liked hint less
than ever after hts brusque announce
ment of an engagement wlth*Lady Hil
ary Vane; but he had not entertained
the slightest suspicion against tho
mnn's character. Now, had the warn
ing come, from any other woman ot
hts acquaintance, he would havo re
garded it as absurd; but there was
something about the young stenogra
pher which compelled hli trust,- even
when reason argued against her.
He recalled the fleeting look of fury
on Trowbridge's face when the doi
bad broken the stars of whisky-an<
soda which Oxford was In the act of
raising to hts lips. If Elspeth Dean
were right. Prince Charlie had saved
l:ls master's life. •
■ “Let us try once more to have’ i
farewell drink before wo part," Trow
bridge now suggested, laughing. “I a!
| i keep plenty of tumblers here,'
he went to-nn old-fsshloned wall
cupboard, with a prettily-curtained
glass door.
No, thank you. Kenrith answered
pleasantly, but decidedly, before Cap
tain Oxford had time to speak.- “My
friend Is looking rather done up, and
as he's still more or leu on the Invalid
list, spirits are not ths best thing for
him. Rest will do him more good than
anything else tonight."
This hint waa so broad that Trow
bridge was obliged to take It. He spot,
ogtxed good-naturedly for his lack of
consideration In- keeping them up so
long after the trying experience they
had gone through, and. wishing them
both ptessant dreams, left the room.
"What shall I do about Prince Char
lie, sir?” asked the porter, who stood
outside the door now. awaiting Inatrac.
outside the door now. awaiting Instruc
tions. "Shall I try downstair* again,
or”—
"tvs’ll keep him here for the present,
thank you." said Kenrith, anticipating
his friend's answer. Oxford hod been
about to give Up tbe dog to the night
porter, but. flndlng that Kenrith was
willing tq keep him'In the room he let
gentlemen a respectful good night,
closed the door gently, and they were
left alone.
Kenrith decided to say nothing to
Oxford about the note ' from Elspeth
Dean untll-he himself had seen the girl
and learned upon what grounds she
based her suspicions. Nevertheless, ho
did not neglect the precautions he
would have taken If ho fully believed In
the warning. •
White 'Oxford busied himself In ca
ressing tho excited collie, he selected
from -the waste-paper basket, Wherb
the glass' had been- thrown, a few of the
larger fragments and put them In his
pocket 'He slso rollod-a big easy chair
over the’ 'spot where the whisky had
fallen on the carpet.
"Now, I am going to leave you for a
few moments," said Kenrith. "I have a
little business downstairs with our
friend the night porter, but I expect to
be back soon, and If'you-don’t mind I
should bs glad If you could stay awake
till' you see me again.”
If Oxford's curiosity were roused he
did' not say so. Indeed, hts attention
was digressed by Prince Charlie. The
dog's behavior seemed odd to hts mas
ter, for thoughfhe wild excitement he
had shown In Trowbridge's presence
was abating, hs was stilt unlike himself.
His beautiful eyee were extraordinarily
bright and prominent He kept up a
continual whimpering, quivering
over, and appearing to suffer In some
Inexplicable way.
•There’s something very queer the
matter with the Prince,;' said Oxford.
I don't understand him tonight at
"Watch him," replied Kenrith,
membcrlng that some of the epllled
whisky had fallen on the dog’» nose.
Still he kept his own counssl, as he
wont out to segret' far the sender of
the wsrnlng. L
No ono was to be seen In the dimly
lighted corridor. Guilty or not guilty,
Trowbridge Had no Idea that he waa
..enrtlh went • softly but hastily
down stairs, meaning to Inquire Els-
poth’s whereabouts of the night por
ter; but It was she, not the man, who
came quickly to m*et him.
Thank heaven," ehe whispered. "I
was afraid something would keep you
—or that you would think I was mad.
"I should have thought any one else
mad, who wrote such a letter," hi
said, "but not you. Now tell me every,
thing.”
How Elspeth got through her story
she did not know; but somehow she
made clear the strange history of
events, ot suspicions,.. and pf actual
knowledge.
Thera was no time to tell all, for she
had a plan to propose; but she began
with the fire, and what had happened
to her In tbe corridor when she had
tried to give the alarm. She told what
she had heard In the secret room, and
of the dead taeve her groping fingers
had touched.
"It was Mr. Trowbridge’s voice I
heard, of-that I am sure. Who was
with him. I can’t tell:, but whoever
It was. those two are in the plot to
gether. They meant to kill Captain
Oxford; It must have been they who
tried to murder- him ■ before. When I
heard that you and ho were to sleep
In Mr. Trowbridge's sitting room. I
was afraid there might be Atlll an
other attempt,'since the Are had failed.
But that was only part of my reason
for sending you tbe note. Those two
men - must be taken .together In ths
secret room- If at alL You see, they
meant to go back there tor me—and
they will be going soon. If thsy haven't
gone already; foe. they have no time to
waste. It they And me gone, they'll
know the game le up, and even If they
don’t try to escape from the house,
they'll make It dreadfully dlfllcult to
prove anything against them. There’ll
only be my word, you know."
■hall be taken tin the secret
room, never fear," said Kenrith, quietly.
"You mean you will go?"
"Yea, I wlil go."
■'Not alone. They might klU you."
"I have a revolver which I've carried
—since yesterday. But I shan't be
atone. The man who brought your let
ter trill go with me."
The night porter."
"Night porter .pro tern. He Is a de-
tectlve, and a smart one. No ons
and. now, you. Oxford must be with
us, too. alt’s his right, as the plot was
against hi*. He'd never forgive me If
I loft him out."
As he spoko he stepped to the door
of the night porter's tiny room and
gave a peculiar Knock.
Instantly tho man fo'whom Elspeth
had given her letter appeared.
"She' : Knows," snld KChrlth. “We can
trust her.- Thanks to per alone, we are
going to unravel the whole plot and
kill two birds, or perhaps more, with
one stone.- While. I get some more par
ticulars from this lady, fetch Captain
Oxford, If you please—and—look here,
you’ll both Want revolvers. Don't let
him delay a moment. This may be a
matter of life and death."
The man scarcely waited for the last
word, but was off, hts figure almost In
stantly swallowed up In the dark.
"Now, you must tell me the way Into
that secret room," said Kenrith.
"Tell you the way!" exclaimed Els
peth. "Why I’m going to guide you
there. Oh, pleaso don’t object! You
couldn’t get In without me.
Kenrith's eyes lit up with admiration
of her courage as he looked down at
her In the dim light.
"You're not afraid ?" he asked.
"Not with you," the girl Impulsively
answered, then blushed deeply because
■he could not take the words back.
Dark as It was, he saw the blush and
the look on her face which told him
more than the words spoken Inadver
tently.
“Darling child," hs sold, "do you
know I love you and want you for my
wife?"
He- had forgotten Lady Lambart and
all his fancied obligations to her, even
as Elspeth had forgotten all tho worhl
but him.
It seemed Impossible that she had
heard aright. Such happiness could
not be, she thought, for her. But be
fore he could speak again Captain Ox
ford nnd the porter came hurriedly Into
the hall.
