Arkel had sought out as witnesses against Etwald seven persons. First, Mrs. Dallas, who was to prove that she was hypnotized frequently by Dido. Second, Isabella, who was to depose that before the murder her mother had been sent by Dido to "Ashantee" to steal the devil-stick, while under the influence of hypnotism.

Sixth, Jaggard, whose evidence would tend to show that Dido had drugged him for the purpose of stealing the body. And seventh, the most important witness of all.

With these seven witnesses Jen did not see how Etwald could escape the gallows. Miss Jinny meditated for a moment. "I don't believe I'll go," she said. "I'm going back in another day or so, and mama and I will have enough of Rockham anyway. I'll stay with her and finish that library book that Mr. Spicer lent me. It's overdue now, anyway."

"Silence!" thumped Patricia. When he vanished round the curve of the drive, Isabella, with a very pale face, turned toward Dido. "Yes, he is quite innocent. He did not take the devil-stick." "Yes; he is in love with you.".
