Immediately Mrs.Grant came near enough, I placed Miss Trelawny in her arms, and rushed back into the room, turning up the electric light as soon as I could lay my hand on it.

Sergeant Daw and the Nurse followed me.
We were just in time.

Close under the great safe, where on the two successive nights he had been found, lay Mr.Trelawny with his left arm, bare save for the bandages, stretched out.

Close by his side was a leaf-shaped Egyptian knife which had lain amongst the curios on the shelf of the broken cabinet.

Its point was stuck in the parquet floor, whence had been removed the blood-stained rug.
But there was no sign of disturbance anywhere; nor any sign of any one or anything unusual.
