"Where wns thnt?" I naked.
The little tunii pulled ut his coat
.cuffs nnd smiled njrnln.
"My client uelnjr Spanish nnd Mr.
Sidney linvltiK lived tunny years In
Montevideo, It mlsht be assumed thnt
"It wns there," ho suld. "It wns there,
and my client enmo Into possession of
n document by dishonest means, I
.suspect of which he now retains only
one page. I wish to lenvu a copy of
this pngo with you, nnd Inter to And
out to what extent It Interests Mr.
BfOfloy."
"You mean to find out If he will
mibmlt to blackmail," I snld.
"I anticipated your remark," he snld.
"I look ut tho mntter differently. If
Mr. Sidney hns something to conceni,
we shall be Bind to help him to con
ceni It. I will lenve a copy of the
piiKC.from the document with you, nnd
with your permission will see you
Inter."
He hnnded me,n long envclopo nnd
with n bow nsked to bo shown to the
door. Jed, not suspecting thnt the
little mnn had nny connection with the
Bailor, showed him out.
I went to my room to cxnmlno tho
pnper which hud been left with me.
It wns nccompnnled by nn explunntory
Htntement' by "Attorney Phllctus M.
Brown." I will glvo tho explunntory
Htntement first.
"Memornndu for Dr. Mlchelson:
The uccotnpunylng typewritten Mieet
Is n pnrt of n document stolen from
Mr. Sidney In Montevideo ten years
figo by Alejandro Drnvndu, then n
fiervnnt In the cupuclty of porter. Dm
vntlu preserves tho original, of which
I liuvo had several typewritten copies
made. Drnvndn had the complete doc
ument In his linmls, hut only for a
Hhort while. Ho had discovered. In
the course of sfvernl years' service
under Mr. Sidney In Montevideo, that
a strong box In Mr. Sidney's room
wns particularly guarded. He sup
posed It contulneil Jewels. He Is, I
should Judge, n person of small montl
character nnd great cupidity. Ho de
termined to steal the box, hoping thnt
Its contents would enable him to get
married and set himself up In n small
business.
"lie succeeded In getting the box,
by entering Mr. Sidney's room, but be
fore he could make Ills escape ho wns
unfortunate enough to bo discovered
by another servant, known to you as
Jed. Jfd leveled a revolver nt my
client und made him surrender tho
box. ,
"I can only conjecture here fre
quently this enso has eausvd me to
conjecture; but I think that the mnn
Jed, nlthough ho knew something val
uable was contained in the box,
thought, us did my Spanish client, thnt
It was personal property; nnd, unllko
toy client, he wns not careless of prop
erty rights. Tills conjecture may not
tntvrest you, but I Imagine you ask
ing: 'Why did not Jed steal the box
t' afterward took fiom my client?"
It wis, I think, becuuso tho man Jed
vvus by nature honest, and it wns only
wcn ids Inhibitions had been broken
flown by tho sight of another man com
mitting a crime which hnd been easier
for bin) to commit, that he lost control
of his morals.

robbed of Ills loot, i.rinctl himself Im
mediately nnd bruit Into Jed's room
shortly thereafter. tin found Jed (lis
couwlutcly looking M a muss of pa
lters, which was all the supposed Jewel
casket contained.
"In this disappointing occupation
Jed vvus nrouscd by tho stealthy en
trance of my client through a win
dow, but there was no conflict. Jed
pointed to Hie paper and laughed.
My client vvus shrewd enough to rend
Jed's emotions. lie knew thnt the
treasure trove hud proved a minn bub
ble. He Is u man of violent temper.
In tils double disappointment he sprang
ut Jed, stubbed lilin In the shoulder,
seized the papers, scattered them
about tho room und Jumped out of the
window.
"If tills hud been nil, I should have
no client In this case. Hut In bin rage
Drnvndu. when he was throwing the
papers about, had unconsciously re
mitted one sheet In his clenched fist.
He found it In his list when lie came
out of his senseless und Inordinate
rage later; and then, his natural cu
pidity und cunning reasserted, he real
ized Unit something wns being guard
ed In the box; that something being
only papers, It must follow thnt the
pnpers were vnluable. He reproached
himself that his anger bad defeated
ills Judgment when It wns possible for
him to take the entire contents of tho
box. He did not dnro go buck; he hnd
stabbed Jed; the bouse might be
alarmed. He hud only n single sheet
of the gunrded inutiuwrlpt. It Is a
copy of thnt sheet which you find here.
"I said I would give you my conjec
tures. You will nsk first why I am
so candid In committing to writing a
communication of this nature. It Is
becuusc: first, I prefer to write It,
owing to u physical timidity In con
versation ; nnd second, but cqunlly Im
portant, becnusc I know the Inst thing
Mr. Sidney or nny truo friend of Mr.
Sidney's, desires Is to have the Htory,
of which this Is a page, made public.
"I do not know whnt this story Is,
but I know wiio does know whnt It Is.
Thnt person Is the man Jed now, ns
before, a servant of Mr. Sidney. I
have tnndo sufficient Inquiry an to the
position of Jed In the household of
Mr. Sidney to know that he retains
the manuscript found In tho box, or if
ho does not retain It, knows Its con
tents.
"The visit of Mr. Sidney and his
family to Montevideo this winter be
trayed Jed's whereabouts to Drnvndu.
ne came north nfter they hnd sailed.
Ills cupidity hns determlnntlon. I
think your mnn Jed appreciates that.
I think from whnt Drnvnda hns told
me, In his simple bonwtlng fashion,
that Jed was dismayed to see him
again In Montevideo.
"My client's first Impulse, having fol
lowed Jed to the United States, wns
to get at this secret by force or theft,
but he sees the physical difficulties In
tho wny; nnd being, except In his vio
lent moments', a rensonnblo man, ho
hns hnd recourse to nn attorney to
obtain such settlement ns his knowl
edge mny be worth.
"1 do not wish to defend my course
In the mntter. I suggest merely thnt
Mr. Sidney nnd nil concerned will fare
tho better for hnvlng a man of con
sideration and discretion, such as I
Hatter myself I nm, Intervening be
tween them nnd n man of tho moral
comnlcxlon Indicated by my client. I
ahull be at your disposal, doctor, with
in nny rcasonnble time. I lenve It to
your Judgment to hnudle the matter
within Hurtley house."
Tho copy of mnnuscrlpt which nc
compnnled the letter wus as follows:
"... would be fatal to the suc
cess of whnt I have dono nnd intend
to do If this confession were to bo
found. It might be nsked, then, why
exposo myself nnd my linpplne.sy to
the chance of discovery of tilings
which I muy lock forever by simply
forgetting. It Is sulllcient nnswer to
that question to admit that for mo I
could not bo content unless It wero
certain that what I havo done should
bo known. I want tho record of It
known. It Increases my satisfaction
to know thnt I shall cause moralists
to bo Indignant. I want to be known
us a criminal. I want my crime to bo
tallied about. I want It remembered.
That Is the savor of my life. It would
bo Impossible for mo to obtain u
sufficient satisfaction unless I made
it pobslblo for tho story of a crime to
bo known some time. So long as I
live, I shall need and Heek conceal
ment; but I should not be happy un
less I could anticipate disclosure. My
crime . . ."
That wns nil.
Severnl persons two nt least; Dm-
vudn nnd Attorney Brown knew as
much us I hnd reud. Three persons,
In the bouse, Mr. Sidney, Mrs. Sidney
nnd Jed, knew the story completely.
It wns tills knowledge which hnd
given Jed Ills control In the house, Mrs.
Sidney her unhnpplness nnd Mr. Sid
ney some of his pleasures.
Tho search for a solvent of the Hart
ley bouse mysteries wns Insistent. Al
coa's Incidental remark enme lmck to
me: "It might havo been Montevideo,"
I felt uncomfortable to recall this,
aslu.mcd and abashed, ns If In re
calling It I hud done something to low
er myself In my self-respect. I had to

go to Mrs. Sidney with tho Information
und Insinuations Attorney Phllettis M.
Brown had given me. My desire vvus
to protect her from precisely this kind
of trouble; my necessity was to curry
the trouble to her. I hud to know how
to net.
By wny of preliminary I told her of
the three appearances of tho Spaniard
und then of the appearances of the
lawyer. When I offered her the sheet
of pnper containing n transcript of a
page of Mr. Sidney's diary, her bunds
trembled, but she took tho sheet reso
lutely. She wus greatly alarmed but
regit I tied her composure.
She rend the pnge hurriedly and
then more carefully nnd, It seemed,
with relief.
"I have to deal with these men." I
snld, "and I must know liovv to do It.
They can be dealt with by criminal
law If there Is no reason why protec
tion should not be sought In that fash
ion." "There Is." snld Mrs. Sidney, "and
I cannot tell you the reason."
"You know thut I do not nsk for
It." I said.
"YoUfknow there Is something very
strange about this bouse?"
"Thai vvus evident In twenty-four
hours," I wild, "but It means nothing
to me. I am not curious. I merely
want to know how to deal with these
men."
"It Is not n Inck of confidence In
you that keeps mo from telling what Is
wrong here," said Mrs. Sidney. "It
would bo u relief to do so. It lias been
hnrd to stand It nil alone. John."
I vvus glud, for tho first time con
sciously, that my mime wns John. It
hnd nn honest, Htrnlghtforwnrd sound,
suggesting the plain, honest dealing
thnt might be needed In this house.
"The renson I do not tell you, John,"
snld Mrs. Sidney, "Is because I would
not hnve nnotlier conscience distressed.
You could never again be really happy
"The Only Reason I Do Not Tell What
the Manuscript Contains Is Because
I Value Your Peace of Mind."
If you knew the story of whh this
sheet Is n pnge. You could not do me
uny good If you knew It. You would
only torment yourself."
"So much for thnt." I said. "I take
your Judgment. But how nm I to deal
with these fellows?"
Mrs. Sidney hesitated.
"I don't know," ahe suld. "I'm sure
I don't know."
"Do you know a mnn nnmed Urn
vndn?" I nsked. "Did you know him
when you lived In Montevideo? Cnn
you tell me anything nbout him with
out telling something thnt you do not
want to?"
"I cnn tell jou nbout Druvudn," suld
Mrs. Sidney. "Mr. Sidney was head
of a shipping firm. Drnvndn had been
n snllor. Ho hnd come to be a porter
or stevedore nbout tho docks We
needed a potior nt home, and Mr Sid
ney brought this man from the docks
to fill the position. Ho was n docile
creature, very strong and useful and
never annoying. . .. Now I will
tell you ns much ns I posslbl.v cnn
without doing you n great Injustice.
"Wo had lived In Montevideo lift ten
years when Jed enmo to us. He hns
been with us ever since. Mr. Sidney
began writing tho mnnuscrlpt, of which
this Is ii copy of one sheet, the year
Jed cntne.
"The only reason I do not tell what
the manuscript contains Is because I
vnluo your peace of mind. I know
from my own experlenco that your
conscience never would bo at rest If
you had full knowledge, und yet you
would be entirely helpless. So out of
consideration for. you I slinll not tell
you more thnn I hnve to.
"Mr. Sidney never hns hud tho slight
est scruple us to whnt ho litis done;
he rejoices In It. You liuvo spoken of
his will to live; what I am buhllng
back from you would explain it. Ho
says In this pnge of his manuscript
which you have seen thnt It perfects.
Ids sntlsfnctlon to lenvo n record of
his crime. I know thnt It does. I un
derstand thnt ho hnd to hnvo It known
lifter his death that he hud done whnt
ho hud.

vvus u snllor on n British ship which
sailed from Montevideo to Liverpool,
und lie became tired of sen work. Mr.
Sidney hud seen him nbout the wharf
und hud been attracted to him. They
had talked enough for Mr. Sidney to
learn of Jed's ambition for a comfort
able life on shore. Mr. Sidney uve
him the chance to realize it In our
house.
"Jed, after he was taken Into the
house, found thut Mr. Sidney ii-hmI
great precautions with something
which he locked In n box. When Drn
vnda enme, he also saw the box which
Mr. Sidney seemed to guurd so cure
fully. Drnvndu decided to steal whnt
ever vvus In the box. .led found lilm
In the net. They fought, but Jed re
tained the contents Mr. Sidney's man
uscript." J
"Then Jed knows the secret?" I
flsked.
"He does."
"And Driivnilu does not?"
"He cannot know nny more than yon
know from rending this one sheet from
the mnnuscrlpt."
"Where Is tho manuscript?"
"Jed bus it."
"Does Mr. Sidney know thut?"
"Not yet. You have been wondering
at Jed's control in the house. He has
the matiusciint, and be knows the
story which for your own sake I would
not have you know. He presumes upon
Ids knowledge."'
"But Moesn't Mr. Sidney ever want
to see the manuscript he sets such
store by?" I asked.
"No. He wants to know It is In his
strong box. If lie ever llmls that It
Is not, we shall have to meet the situ
ation somehow, (lod knows bow."
"Then this sailor und this blackmail
ing lawyer know no more than I know
now?"
"No more, so far ns I nm aware."
Brown, the lawyer, came to Hartley
house the next day to see me. I think
ho regarded his plan of blackmail us
Irresistible. I wonder that lie did not
havo an express wagon und a large
chest with him. He wus amiable nnd
expectant.
"You have decided?" he suld ns Jed,
having brought lilm to mo on the porch,
went avvuy. Ho laid his cane und Ids
gloves und Ids nap-worn suit.
"You get nothing," I suld, "nnd may
net upon that Information."
The disappointment wus unpleasant
to him. If I wanted to dramatize the
effect, I'd sny It vvus catastrophic. He
sut down suddenly In the nenrest wick
er chair, und his fuce became ugly in
appearance.
"You must know, doctor," lie snld,
"that I am nerved to the performance
of my duty by the thought of a wife
and two daughters for whom I havo
provided indifferently. I will not sny
thnt their situation is desperate, but
it tuny make mo desperate. I feel that
we have a clultn here which might eas
ily be adjusted."
"You use a number of euphemisms
for blackmail," I said, "and none of
them conceals your mennlng. If your
wife und daughters are In need, you
might approach Mrs. Sidney ns the
almoner of Mr. Sidney's charities.
That, at lensr. would be an honest
statement of your cuse, and it might
lie effective."
Ho brightened ut once.
"I thank you for, a lesson In proced
ure," lie said. "We shall consider It
upon such an understanding."
I saw the mistake I had made.
"I assure you," I snld, "you may con
sider nothing upon the terms you wish
to liuvo considered in this bouse. Your
attempt ut blackmail is so unconsid
ered that you may go shriek to tho
world or to the prosecuting attorney.
The family Is not Interested In you or
your client."
The shabby little fellow seemed to
get blue-nosed and blue-lipped In dis
appointment. "I um suro you cannot have consid
ered your Interests." lie said. "Mr.
and Mis. Sidney certainly do not want
a .scandal."
"Certainly not. How nre they threat
ened with one?"
"But the manuscript Indlcutes one."
"Does It? I have rend It, and I know
nothing. You liuvo reud It. What do
you know?"
"I cnn rend Kngllsli," ho Bnld with
spirit. "I reud In Mr. Sidney's hand
writing that he hud committed a crime
nnd thut lie vvus committing nn Indis
cretion in putting tho account on
paper."
Jed falls into the hand of
his enemies.
