"I never give myself unnecessary trouble," he answered, calmly, "and, of course, I knew that I should find you here." "I can't at present. The police are in the house; there is a lot to be attended to. Tell your mistress, Dido, that I will see her to-morrow." "It is a fact," insisted Jen. "I have the evidence of Jaggard to prove that Dido was in the room on that night.".

The room was very dark at first, and little whispers ran all about in the gloom. There was a rustling and shuffling and a sound of hurried, muffled steps.

"To see me!" said Maurice, looking at his rival. "Then why did you not go to 'Ashantee?'" "Why?" said Etwald, with an agreeable smile. "There are two opinions about that. Mine is that I shall go free. Then," he added, coolly, "I intend to seek Barbadoes and search for that black witch in order to recover the Voodoo stone."
