MONK’S EXAMINATION.
"I BAVEN’T much more to tell you now,
(continued Monk). A few days after-
ward, Sigrid left to join her brother in
Hamburg, whence they both sailed for
America, and I have not seen either of
them since. With regard to the life I
have led these last few years, you, Fred-
erick, know about as much as I do my-
self. If I have not left the country, it
was because an irresistible impulse
forced me to haunt the place where my
happiness and my expectations had. been
overthrown, and to try again and again
to clear up the mystery which had de-
stroyed the happiness of so many.
My profession of private detective has
provided me. with sufficient means, both
in finances. and other respects, to comn-
tinue my attempts—attempts which up
to now laye unfortunately brought no
results whatever, ;
At first I had many difficulties to con-
tend agamss, before I could attain to
the position I now occupy. The part I
played in the diamond case had made
me unpopular with the public, and all ;
my friends advised me to leave the
country,
Still, the public does not remain of
the same opinion from one day to an-
other. The feeling against me gradually
subsided. I fancy people had an idea
that a hard and entirely undeserved fate
had befallen me and others concerned in
this matter. ,I was fortunate in being
able to clear. up one or two mysterious
affairs, show, in short, I can no
longer complain of want of sympathy
from the public.
I have nothing more to add than that
I still consider it the object of my life
to unravel this mysterious affair. I
have not followed the superintendents
advice, and I intend continuing as I
played a'part in the events which I have
told you of, I keep well under my sur-
veillance, either personally, or through
my agents. /Sometimes I feel as if I
could give up everything in despair, for,
as I have told you, up till now I have
no result to show. Then again my com-
mon sense and my experience—not my
presentiments—tell me that the solution
must come in time; perhaps before I -ex-
pect it. |
“But why have you decided so sud-
denly to go to America?” This time it
was I who spoke.
“Some days ago,” he replied, “I re-
ceived the notice of Einar Frick’s death.
I shall once again speak to Sigrid. I
have certain things to ask. her about; !
perhaps she will now answer me.”
We were all silent. Monk went over :
to the bookcase and began to put some |
books to rights which were disarranged
on the shelf. ; dal
“Clara got up and crossed over to him,
but he did not turn round, although he
must have heard her steps. He did not
even look when she laid her hand on
his, shoulder. gE

wife, in a friendly tone, not removing
her hand from his shoulder. “Did you

seem, yet I believe that one of these lit-
tle mice cap this time helo the lion. But

Miss Frick left, why didn’t you go with

she had stolen the diamond?”
“No, I didn’t=shut=-well, how. can I
explain myself; you will not understand ,
me—I belieyg in her, and yet there are
moments when—"' BAF 4
“You men are a miserable-lot of creas
tures when it comes to a. question of
trust,” ssid Clara, with unction.. “You,
Monk, and yery Mcelyiyou, Fredericl,
would do the samey, You do not hesi-
tate to assure aiweman that.you respeet
and love her above everything in the
world; but if only there comes a
wretched phgtograph, or some acciden-
tal coincidence, then you believe the
same woman,t6 be eapable-of commit-
ting the lowest and most degrading. of
crimes. Yes, I speak not ‘so much with
regard to the robbery, as that she, if she
were guilty, allowed anothersto suff
in her place] Let me tell ‘you what
passed betweéen you and Sigrid, and
then you shall tell me i I am right?”
Monk only nodded, with his face half
turned away, and my wife continued in
a severe tongs—
“You wentto Sigrid and assured her
that you belived in her innocence,
spite of all, and you proposed that you
should get married at once and go
abroad I” :
Monk nodded again.
“But he :amswered that she read
doubt at the botiew, wour hearic-and
that it was better that you should both
part; isn’t that so?”
“Yes,” answered Monk, turning round
to us—he wgs dreadfully pale—*“I tried
hard to get her to tell me why she had
attempted that day to get money at the
pawnbroker’s. If it could clear the mat-
ter and prove my innocence, she said,
then she would do it; but as the affair
stands, it would not serve any purpose, |
and only bring disgrace upon another.
“‘It was to get your brother out of
some difficulty,” T urged.
“‘It is of no use talking about it,” she .
said. ‘It will not take away the doubt
from your heart. Even if you fancy it
gone, it will come again and again; and
do you think we can get away from peo-
ple’s talk and malice? No, the world is
too small for that! And if we got mar-
ried, and had children, could we be sure
that they would never get to know of
their mother’s past? I have also a duty
to fulfil to my brother; and in that you
could not take part. To you he would
always be the one who had poisoned our
life.’
“Such were .her words, as. near, as
possibl~. I felt I had only empty and
mean. .gless words to say in reply to
them, and so we parted.”
“There, didn’t I tell you so!” ex-
claimed Clara, “It is your own doubt
which is the cause of ;your weakness.
That is the reason you have not been
able to penetrate the darkness.”
“I think you are wrong. there, Mrs.
Viller,”. answered -Monk;-gently, “but
the work has been too much for my
strength. I fancy it would have been
too much, for any man. Mention any-
thing I ought to have done, and I think
I can answer you that it has already
been tried.” £.
“Don’t be angry,” were Clara’s mext
words, and this tine they were as gentle
13 :
as Monk’ own. *Y know you have as
much feeling ag you have common sense,
and perhaps more feeling than most
people; but with you men, reason al-
ways comes off victorious 4n the end.
You cannot alter your natures, I sup-
poses Now we must see how ‘we ean
help: Monk, Frederick, ds he can’t help
himself; isn’t that so?” ~~ i.
“Yes,” I answered as cheerfully as I
possibly coula; “it would be strange if
we three, when we have put our heads
together, should not be able to clear up
the mystery. You have here what you
| ‘hitherto have lacked, Monk-“the.éxpe-
rience of an expert in many Branches,
as represented by nie, and a woman’s in-
guition and instinct, as represented by
Clara. But as a prelimi

thi 0 ;3sk Monk, Clara You shall
be the first, then my turn cames.” 1
#Yes, I must begin,” answered Clara,
looking in a very friendly manner at
Monk, as if to appease him if she had
wounded him with her remarks. “Tell
me, was not the Englishman, Howell, as
he was called, in love with Sigrid?
Didn't he pay his attentions to her, and
wasn’t he rejected?” 443
Monk began to smile. a ‘fancy he
did try a little at first, but he soon saw
that I had forestalled him, and so, with
a good grace I'll admit, he left the field
clear. If he had made any definite ad-
vances, I think Sigrid would have told
me.” ; i &
“Are you quite sure about that?” am-
swered Clara, with an air of superior-
ity. “One is not of course father con-
fessor to one’s fiancée. But can you tell
me any other reason why he should hate
both of you?”
“Are you sure he hates us?”
“Yes, I am quite sure about it; he
is theicause of the whole mischief. The
photograph was of course nothing but.
humbug.” }
Monk’ smiled resignedly. “The pho-
tograph was only too genuine.”
“And then. there was that wretched
j actor,” continued Clara; “he left, I un-
derstand, just before Evelina committed
suicide. Have you heard anything of
him since? It was of course on his ac-
count that the young girl killed herself.
I believe he first of all got her to steal
the diamond, and then left her. That
was the reason of the.poor girl com-
mifting suicide.”
“I also thought of that,” was Monk's
answer, “and I had him watched after
he left Christiania. He went first to
Gothenburg and later to Copenhagen.
But jit is hot probable that the ‘money
which Jurgens paid for the diamond has
at any time been in his hands. He lived
the whole time from hand to mouth,
andi often in the greatest misery.”
“Are you quite. certain of this?” I
money, all my theories are upset.”
. “Yes, isn’t that so?” said Monk, smil-
Ing again, in the same resigned way.
“And you would have had the same
experience; not only in one, but in ten
points of the case, if you had weighed
them and turned .themi over in your
head as_long as I have done . uk

“Yes, that’s the dreadful part of it

one theory which can’ be applied” to -all
that has happened in this. dreadful -af-
fai, and that is heres His “voice sank
almost to a whisper,—"and. that is, shat

third person. She will not see me. If
I show myself to her, she swears and
curgbs me for having brought about her
daughter's death. Old Frick gives her
a yearly pension; but as she has com-
pletely given herself over to drink, it
does not last very long, and between
each quarterly payment she lives in the
greatest destitution.”
“And Mr. Howell?” !

; keep an eye on him. . He leads the life
of so many rich Englishmen. He spends
the season in London, the autumn in.

travelling. He has a yacht, and has sev-
eral times visited Norway in the sum-
mer. He has, however, been only three
or four times in Christiania all these
years, and then only for a short time.
He has on these occasions stayed at
Villa Ballarat with old Frick. My agent
in England informs me that he is well
known as a gambler.and as a man whg
spends more money than he can afford. |
He has for many years paid frequent
visits to a country house in Yorkshire,

“Yes, I see it. But tell me, Monk,
who does the girl in the photograph re-
semble, Miss Frick or Evelina?”
“Oh, Evelina! I was, of course, ac-
customed to see Sigrid in that costume
—the braided jacket and the little hat
with the bird’s wing on it—so at first
glance I might have doubted; but after
a more careful inspection I should never
have hesitated in saying it was Evelina,
—she and no one else, if only this ques-
tion of the finger hadnt cropped up.”
“The photograph was examined, was-
n’t it?”
“i1 any photograph in this world has
been examined, this is the one. As you
‘ may remember, the photographer Rodin
and amother expert gave their opinion
upon it at the first trial. Later on it was
examined ct the physical laboratory of
the university. All were of one mind
in saying that no attempt had been made
either to tamper with or to make any
alteration in: it,—neither by retouching
nor by any other means.”
While [| continued to converse with
Monk, Clara took possession of the pic-
ture. I handed her the magnifying
gentleman, Mr. Ashton. They say it '8lass, but she pushed it aside, and con-
eldest daughter, a lady who is no longer |
young. The reason for this long court-
ship no ome can explain. They think
he’ll not swallow the bitter pill until he
is obliged. Here, people believe that he
will inherit old Frick’s money. Very
likely that ds, the reason: he goes on
courting so fong. “Very.likely, too, the
old man’s death might put him on his
legs again, and save him from marry- |
ing the lady in Markshire” .

Sigrid was not
a fool; and you must admit that if she
wanted to tell g lie, she would not do
it in sueh a foolish way. Adniit that I
am right, Monk! All probabilities "go
to prove that Sigrid spoke the truth.
She had not set foot in Mr. Frick’s
museum that day between five and half
past seven, and—the photograph was
tampered with. i asl
Monk could not help smiling; but it
was the same smile—the hopeless smile
with which the giant who has in vain
atempted to lift a burden watches the
dwarf endeavoring to lift it.
He went across to a small iron safe
in: the corner of the room, and! came
back at once with a little «object ’which
he laid on the table before us. It was a
small photograph nlaced. between glass |

“This is the photograph.”

with an oblong magnifying glass of un-

_ "You ask: the same question which I
an asking myself for many years.
t we do know is that the watch was
right at five o'clock, and again at’ half-
past seven. It is impossible “that it
could have been altered in the meantime.
It appears that the glass which covers
the dial is not movable. If the watch
has to be regulated, the whole of the
clockwork must be exposed by removing
a small metal plate under the stomach
of‘the elephatit. On examining the ele-
phant, ‘two days after Evélina’s aequit-
tal, it ‘was found that there were no
' marks whatever to be found'in the thin
layer of dust which had settled inthe
jeint between the ivory-and this plate.” -
“But then we have the question of the
time to settle,” I asked. “It proves that
Miss Frick could not have returned
| ‘from the pawnbroker at the time which
‘ the watch in’ the photograph shows. As
far @s I understand you, it was this cir
cumstance alone which saved her at the
trial.” ’
“I'll tell you exactly what I think.
It was that fact which saved her as far
as it ‘gave the jury a pretext to answer
‘No’ to the question whether she was
guilty ‘or not—or, more correctly, an ex-
cuse for not answering ‘Yes’ to it. I do
not: believe ‘there! was a person in the
court who, in their heart of hearts, did
not believe Sigrid was guilty. But her
counsel very cleverly laid stress on the
obscurity “which enveloped the whole
matter, ‘and the possibility that they
might ‘give Anunjust ‘verdict’ and ‘that
the truth “afterward * might tranipire.
They, or: more correctly; five vofi them,
chose, therefore, so the rumbr goes; and
I think it is correct, to.answer: ‘No; ‘as
the discrepancy with regard to the time
