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,

. 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

serious Inconvenience and perhaps loss

the money he possessed at the earliest
possible moment. He called on us
several times to thts end. Ultimately
we arranged to satisfy him. The two
thousand pounds was found and paid
over to Mm, and we hold hla receipt In

'When waa that?"
'Last Tuesday afternoon about
o’clock."
