THE MYSTERY OF HAROLDSTONE HALL r BY E. BOWEN BOWIANDS (Barrister-SLC-LAW) CHAPTER XIV. r At five o'clock to the moment Picke was at Mrs. Rawson's house, and almost as I punctual was Aden, who was accompanied by I Dancer. „ Quite a descent, don't you know, the last-named said, "joke if she weren't at home." Such a joke," Picke said, shivering with aervousness. Aden himself was very much perplexed. He couldn't decide whether he had acted properly in giving a blank cheque on himself to Sysel- ton. He did not understand his motive, and dreaded the outcome of these extraordinary proceedings. What good could result from them? What good? Syselton has used mysterious language with referenoe to a great blow which must fall upon them, and could be deadened in one way only. However, there was but one thing to be done, and that, wait. On the door being opened, the three men were I ushered into the drawing-room, where Mis. Rawson and Miss Fenton were. They were surprised and annoyed to see Mr. Picke, who was so taken aback by the stare with which he was met that he explained he bad come on business." "Butinefts," Mrs. Rawson echoed, "and bare yoa algp oo'me OIL business. Mr. 4^ "Partly," he replied; 6vselton will be here, and be will tell you better than I can why we are here. You had my note, of course. I called, but you were out. She laughed. How odd 1" then, Oh yes, I had your note, which was cornmendatoly short; not the kind that Mr. Dancer is accus- tomed to scrawl. That isn't right of yOU, don't you know," said Dancer. Oh, yes it :s; you write very long, too long, letters, sbc said, shaking her head re- provingly. "On pleasant subjects, I hope?" the cul- prit said. No, unpleasiunt ones sometimes, but occasionally they &to dreadfully satirical. I know you don't mean to be, but——" Dancer was humilated. He was not fond of Mrs. RtV.rson. She said na."3ty little things, don't you know." "How are you, Mr. Fat-worthy ?" How a.re yoii, Mrs. Rawson,'» the nC^. comer replied, and procwded to sit down-ilesr Miss Fenton. Coldish?" Very; and- it is too early to hegir, one's winter clothes. winter clùthes." I began mine last week," Dancer said. 'ü, did you. You were always eccentric.; That's too bad; isn't it, Miss Fenton?" Her eyes were fixed on Farworthy, a.nd she only nodded an affirmative. "Gone in that quarter," Aden thought. "What did you say, Mrs. Rawson? Yes thanks; I will get seats—fo? to-night, did you say?" "Yes, to-night, any theatre. Mr. Dancer will come, I daresay." Delighted, I am sure," said Dancer, ami- cably. It was easier to acquiesce than con- tradict. Meanwhile Mr. Picke had been left to bloom unnoticed, and isolation had a bad effect on him. Every moment his nerves became more unstrung and his plight worse. He wa.s afraid he would not be able to accuse Mr. Farwortby and so earn the reward. He feared he would drop with fright. It was a terrible ordeal; he would rather make six affidavits and exhibit the criminal with them. Underhandedness suited Mr. Picke; he was afraid to walk in the light of day. The crisis at last had arrived, when Sysel- ton entered the room. He shook, hands with Ion except Farworthy and Picke, and to the latter he nodded. Aden looked at him inquisitively, and watched him draw off a glove with interest. He did it coolly and reflectively, and when he had put it in the pocket of his badly-fitting frock coat, addressed: Mrs. Ra.wson:- "1 ventured to make this house a rendezvous, and I trust you will pardon me for my pre- sumption. I am very glad you did," poor Mrs. Raw- ion faltered. She felt she must say something, ad said it. My motive for acting thus was two-fold," he continued. In the first place, I wished to bring together all those- who were interested in the fate of Miss Haroldstone, and, secondly, I was desirous of exposing as great a scoundrel as has drawn breath in the air of heaven. A I meeting here, called together as this has been, was necessary to the fulfilment of my pur- pose. I now propose without waste of time to make that clear." He spoke very clearly, and betrayed no emotion either by manner or voice; his face, which was always pale in the intervals of blushing, afforded no clue to the state of his mind. "Mr. Picke," he added to that gentleman, "here are two documents, ready to be given to the authorities if you depart in one particular from my instructions, so please sit quietly there, and speak only when I speak to you. You understand?" Every eye was rivetted on Syselton, who, standing with his back to the fireplace in a matter-of-fact way, resumed the main thread of his statement. "You all remember that on the 4th of September last Miss Haroldstone was found dead in her bed in her father's house. The doctors certified that her death was caused by poisoning, but how and by whom it was administered neither they nor a jury were prepared to say. Eminent specialists were consulted, but none had heard of the exist- ence of a poison, whose effect, periods of inoculation and. absorption into the system, and special characteristics were even remotely akiu tc those of the poison that had killed Mits Haroldstone. I alone suspected what it was that had been used by the murderer. ? "In my possession thero was, and until lately continued to be, a jar containing nearly half- continued to be, a jar containing nearly half- a-pint of an irritant liquid poison, which is made from an American plant—the Agra-safta —which I don't suppose any of you have, with the exception of two of your number, ever heard of. It is a powerful poison, and a grain introduced subcutaneously is sufficient to cause death. "I need say no more about the nature of the poison; it would not interest you. "Directly I saw the havoc that erysipelas had wrought in the dead girl I at once thought of my poison, and when I had noted all the facts attending the death I came to the certain conclusion that someone had been tampering with my jar which I have brought with me. It was ou the table in my room with the intention of making experiments in my leisure time, and, directly I examined it, I found that the seal ha.d been broken, the string fastenings cut, and the cork removed The volume of its contents had not been percepti- bly diminished, but it was quite possible that a sharp instrument had been dipped in the jar and then taken out with enough fluid to kill ten men upon it. Having found this out, the next thing to do was to see if there was any marks ou the body which would establish my theory. In order to do this I was present at the post-mortem examination, and discovered in the girl's arm a small wound which might have been caused by a needle, and must have been due to the insertion of a small, sharp Doint. "I may hers tell you that I am a qualified surgeon and puysiciaij, and have made tox562^S0p the study of my life. But this by J -?- the way only. I was even now not quite convinced that my poison had been used, and I thought about it so much that during the whole of the first night I could not sleep, and at four or five o'clock, or sometime in the early morning, I got up, put on my dressing- gown, and went into the room where the body lay. I made an incision in the arm with a lancet close to the wound, and cutting away the skin—which the medical man had omitted to do—found, as I had anticipated, that the under flesh was black. This fact, together with the others indicated which I have already speci- fied, satisfied me that Agr-asafta had been used, and it was now my object to discover who had been meddling with my jar, for I feel sure that that person was responsible for Miss Haroldstone's death. At this point I will stop and' unmask the scoundrel I alluded to a few minutes back. Mr. Picke. clerk to Messrs. Roche and Roche, has come here to-day to swear that the man he saw go out of the white room was either Aden, Farworthy, Dancer, or, in short, anyone staying in the house, myself included. With a freedom from prejudice which would be admirable were it not sordid, he will accuse my selection. I appeal to you Mr. Picke, isn't that so? "You don't answer. Then I will continue. You first of all theaten Mrs. Rawson that you will charge Mr. Aden with the murder, and tell her that he was the object of your suspicions. You allege that he used the lancet, well knowing all the time that it was I and no one else. You do this for money; but you were checkmated by Mr. Aden and got nothing. You then come to me and threaten me, but I turn a deaf ear to your proposals, and determined to wait until you can serve my ends, which by the bye you never will. I brought you here to-day to punish you for your cowardly crimes, and j let me add this, that if it were net for my I desire to avoid publicity you should stand your trial for blackmailing. However, as it ie, you will go free, unless and until you utter one syllable bearing on what you saw I at Ha-rfest. In the event of your being in- discreet, an application will be made for a warrant and the two documents that I have here produced. That is all I have to say; now go." Picke rose as if in a dream, and advanced to Syselton. He had been fooled to the top of his bent. He was consumed with impotent rage, and cried, I will go, you cowards, but you have not seen the last of me." Syselton, with a blush and a smile, which it were not too much to term bland, held open the door, and said, "Go." With a muttered curse Picke went out, and hack to the office. When be got there, the senior partner of the firm handed him a cheque for his salary due, and ordered him to pack and be off. Messrs. R.()che and Roche had the previous day received a visit from Syselton. To return to Eaton-place, the first to break the astonished silence which attended Picke's departure was Aden. The fellow's cornered." he said, grimly. Syselton blushed again. You shouldn't oompliment me; but now," he went on quickly, I have a more painful duty to per- I form, Aden. I have to name the murderer of your cousin. I sent Picke away before doing so, and there will be no necessity that the secret should ever travel beyond the bounds of this room. I have said that it is a 'painful' duty it is even a distressing one but it is no less due to myself than to those of you who are not tainted with the crime to discharge it fearlessly, and I intend to do so. Listen to me for a short time and you sliaTI know how I discovered, him. On the night of Miss Haroldstone's ball I was in the conservatory, and I overheard a conversation between two people. One was Miss Harold- stone and the other was—at present I with- hold his name. "Make no mystery about it," Farworthy cried hotly; "I was the man," You are right; you were the man who threatened Miss Haroldstone," Syselton calmly stated. You lie, you cur. Aden threw himself between the two men. "Hear what he had to say, and remember you are in Mrs. Rawson's drawing-room," he said. He means to accuse ne," Farworthy cried I passionately.
