"I have said no name," replied Fanks, very pale, rising in his turn.
"No, but I will!"
"Roger!"
"I will tell you, and I declare it's a lie—a lie!"
"Good heavens!" cried Japix, rising, "what does this mean?"
He looked at both men for an answer, and obtained it from Roger:
"It means that my old schoolfellow suspects the woman I love of a crime."
"Judith Varlins!"
"Yes; Judith Varlins!"
Japix looked at Fanks to see if he would repeat the accusation, but the detective said nothing.
