CHAPTER IV
HftMTOod had said to his friend of
the effect on Sabre of Mabel's action

'erashed in, the four sides of his
world tottered and collapsed upon
kirn, with the words spoken to Sabre
fcy that man who approached and
j took him aside while he stood to
taka leave of Hapgood.
The man said *'X daresay you
know me by sight. Mr. Sabre I m
the coroner's officer at Tidborough.
Tou're rather wanted down there.
The fact is that young woman that s
keen living with you's been found

"In your house. Mr. Fabre. And

"There’s to he an inquest tomor

The man said. "I say that's for the

if you understand me. Looks as if
tile* young woman took poison. Ox
alic acid."
"Oxalic acid:”
They went to the cab.
II
Tn the morning, in the mortuary
adjoining the coroner's court, his
mind suddenly and with shock mos.
terrible made contact with the cal
amity it had pursued.
In the mortuary ...
When he arrived and alighted
from his cab he found a small crowd
of persons assembled about the yard
of the court. Someone said. “There
he is!” Someone said. ’’That’s him!
A kind of threatening murmur went
»i> fitmr-ffrw-vcnple. What was the
.^matter? What were they looking
St’ He seemed to be wedged among
a mass of dark and rather beastly
faces breathing close to his own. He j
could not get on. He was being
pushed. He was caused to stagger.
He said. “Look out. I've got a game
leg." That threatening sort of mur
' mur arose more loudly in answer to
his word*. Someone somewhere I
threw a piece of orange peel at
someone. It almost hit his far*.
What waa up? What were they all
doing’
At the door of the cn :i t Fabre
looked across to where on the other
•ride of the yard some men were
shuffling out of a detached building.
The coroner's officer said. “Jury.
JThev’ve been viewing the corpse.”
"Corpse!” The rough word stabbe 1 |
through hia numbness. He though’,
'•’Corpse! Viewing the corpse! Ob-1
fceene and horrible phrase! Corpse' I
Eflle!” He made a movement in that t
; (direction.
F The man said, "Ye*, perhaps you o
fetter.”
He was against a glass screen,
-inisty with breaths of those who had
•tared and peered through it. The
feoilceman wiped his sleeve across
fche glass. ‘There you are.”
£ Ah , . .! Now. suddenly and with
,jbhock most terrible, his mind made
Contact with that which it had pur
sued. It had groped as in a dark

of him one of the two men at the
head of the table started to his feet.
A very big man. and with a very big
and massive fa<*e and terrific eyes
who started up and raised clenched
fists and had his jaws working. Old
Hrlght. His companion at the head
of the table restrained him and drc*v
him down again. A tall, spare, dark
in. n with a thin mouth in a deeply
lined face—Twyning.
IV
From a door behind the central
dais a large, stout man entered and
took his seat. Whispers about the
court said. “Coroner." Someone
bawled “Silence."
The coroner fiddled with some pa
pers. put pince-nez on his nose and
stared about the court. He had a
big. flat face. He stared about. “Is
the witness Sabre in attendance?"
The coroner s officer said, “Yes
sir “
The coroner looked at him. "Are
you legally represented?"
He said, “Represented ? No. Why
should I be represented?"
The coroner turned to examine
some papers. “That you may per
haps discover." he remarked drily.
The court tittered.
A man was seated not far from
the hunchback rose and bowed and
said. “I am watching the interests of
Mrs. Sabre.”
Sabre stared. Mrs. Sabre! Mabel!
The hunchback sprang to his feel
and jerked a bow. “I represent Me,
Bright, the father of the deceased."
CHAPTER V

Hapgood said:
"Did I say to you last time, aftci
that Brighton business, that the mar
had crashed, that the roof had fall
en in on him? Eh, man. sitting or
hi* bed there at Brighton and gib
bering at me. Sabre was a whole
man. a sane man: he was a fortun
ate and happy inan. compared with
this that I saw come at him down
at Tidborotigh yesterday.

ONE OF THE TWO MEN AT
I THE HEAD OF THE TABLE
STARTED TO HIS FEET.
"By Jove, old man, how I’m evtr
going to tell you. That poor chap in

Jove . . . but this business, old Sa

face In a knot and stammering ‘Look

could get any farther—old Sabre go.

treble-dyed Iscariot Twyning prompt

with his beastly spittle running like
xep.om out of the corners of Ills
mouth—I tell you my eyes felt like
two boiled gooseberries in my bead:
boiled red hot: and a red-hot potato
stuck in my throat, stuck tight. 1
tell you . . .
"Look here, get the hang of the
thing. Get a bearing on some of
these people. There was the coron.r
getting off his preamble. Great big
pudding of a chap, the coroner. Fac.
I like a three-parts deflated football.
! There was old Bright, the girl’s
I father, smoldering like Inside th?
1 door of a hanked-up furnace. Ther
was Mr. Iscariot Twyning with hla
face like a stab—in the back—and
' his mouth on his face like a scar.
There was this solicitor chap next
him, with his hump, with his hai
like a m ine, and a head like a house,
and a mouth like a cave. He’d a j
great big red tongue, about a yar l i
long, like a retriever's, and a great j
long forefinger with about five joints,
In It that he waggled when he was
cross-examining and shot out when
h • was incriminating like the front
nine inches of a snake.
