CONTINUED.

The doctor promised to come eany next day and left. Throughout Wednesday and Thursday I'hilip was partly delirious, waking at times to u vague consciousness of his surroundings, but mostly asking vacantly for "Evelyn." Often he fought with a person named "Jocky Mason" and explained that

".Sir Philip" was not iu Yorkshire at

all.

The wife of one of his rescuers was

assiduous in her attentions. Most for

tunately, for these fisher folk were very poor, that lure spread beneath the

cliff inveigled an unprecedented num

ber of salmon, so she could afford to buy eggs and milk in abundance, and

the doctor brought such medicines as

were needed. Gradually Philip recovered until at 0

o'clock on Thursday night he came in

to sudden and full use of his senses. Then the doctor was sent for urgently. Philip insisted on getting up at once. He was kept in bed almost by main force. With the doctor's arrival there was a further change. Here was an educated man, who listened attentively to his patient's story and did not instantly conclude that he was raving. He helped, too, by his advice. It was utterly impossible to send a telegram to London that night. No matter what the sufferings of anxious friends concerning him, they could not be assuaged until the morning. Yes, he would find money and clothes, accompany him, if need be, on the journey if he were able to travel tomorrow attend to all things, in fact, fn his behalf for millionaires are scarce birds in secluded moorland districts. But meanwhile he must take a drink of milk and beef essence, rest a little while, take this draft, in a small bottle indicated, and sleep. Sleep was quite essential. lie would

awake in the morning very much better. The knock on the head was not so serious as it looked at first sight. Probably he would not even feel it a train if ho wore a soft cap for some days. The broken skin was healing nicely, and concussion of the brain had as many gradations as fever, which ranges from a slight cold to Yellow Jack. In his case he was suffering from two severe shocks, but the crisis was passed, and he was able, even now, to get up if it could serve any possible purpose. All this, save the promise of help, the doctor said with his tongue in his cheek. lie had not the slightest intention of permitting Philip to travel next day. It was out of the question. Bet

ter reason with him in the morning and if needful bring his friends to Yorkshire rather than send him to Loudon. But the police must be informed at once. It was more than likely the criminals had left the Grange llouse soon after the attempted murder. Yet,

add, 'I hope yoa have not lost Blue Atom by this mischance.'" He sank back exhausted. It was oa the tip of the doctor's tongue to ask: "What in the world is a blue atom?"' But he forbore. The sleeping potiou was taking effect, and he would not retard It. lie subsequently wrote a telegram on his own account: Mr. Ansoa Is convalescing-, but a journey today Is Impossible. A reassuring

message from you will save him from impatience and help his recovery. He has been delirious until last night. Now all he needs Is rest and freedom from worry. His man waited at Scarsdale postoffice until a reply came nest day. Then he rode with it to the village where Philip was yet sleeping peacefully. Indeed, the clatter of hoofs without aroused him, and he oiened his eyes to lind the doctor sitting as though he had never quitted his side. Evelyn's message must have caused much speculation as to its true significance in the minds of those telegraphic officials through whose hands it passed. It read: Am absolutely bewildered. Cannot help feeling sure that news received today really comes from you. In that case, who Is It who has been wiring repeatedly In your name from Station hotel, York? Do not know what to think. Am going

immediately to ALingdon. Tlease send more information. Suspense unbearable. EVELYN. If ever there was need for action it was needed now. Anson's strenuous energy brought forth the full strength of his indomitable will. The pallor tied from his cheeks, the dullness from his eyes. "Dr. Scarth," ho cried, "you must not keep me here in view of that telegram from the woman I love. Believe me, I will be worse, not better, if you force me to remain inactive, chained almost helpless in this village and miles away from even a telegraph office. Help me now, and you will never regret It. I ask you" The doctor cut short his excited outburst. "Very well," he said. "Whatever you do try and cease from troubling yourself about circumstances which a few hours will put right. I must return to my dispensary for one hour. Then I will come for you, bring some clothes and the necessary money, and ive will leave Scarsdale for York at 2:o0 p. m. That is the best I can promise. It must satisfy you." He gave hasty directions as to his patient's food and left him. Another telegram arrived, with it the policeman, in the dogcart of the Fox

and Hounds Inn. Abin.sdon went to Devonshire yestor-

oay. His wife says he suspected that

something had pone wrong. Unhappily

we do not know his address, but he wires

that he Is not to be expected home today.

Do ask Dr. Scarth to send further new if unable yourself. EVELYN. Thilip hesitated to be explicit as to the real nature of the outrage inflicted on him by Jocky Mason and his unknown accomplice. He hastily determined that the best assurance he could give to the distracted girl was one of his immediate departure from the village. The policeman helped him as to local information, and he wrote the following: Leaving Scarsdale at 2:30 p. m. Passing through Malton at 4 o'clock and reach York 5:10. Dr. Scarth permits Journey and accompanies me. Send any further messages care of respective station masters prior to hours named. Accept statement implicitly that I will reach London tonight. Will wire you from York certain, earlier if necessary. As for identity, you will recall May 15, Hyde park, near Stanhope gate, 4 o'clock. Evelyn and he alone knew that at

that spot on the day and hour named

Only a few words of entreaty from Evelyn to avoid further risk. Then to the hotel. They sought the manager. "Is there a man staying here who represents that his name is Thilip Ansoar The question was unusual iu its form, disturbing in its innuendo. The man who asked it was pale, with unnaturally brilliant brown eyes, a gentleman iu manner, but attired iu id fitting garments, and beneath his tweed cap he wore a surgical bandage. And Philip Anson, the millionaire, of whom he spoke thus contemptuously, was staying in the hotel and paying for its lest rooms. But the manager was perfectly civil. The presence of Dr. Scarth. a reputable looking stranger, gave evidence that something important was afoot. Mr. Anson was in his rooms at the moment. Their names would be sent up. Dr. Scarth. quick to appreciate the difficulties of the situation, intervened quietly. "Is he alone?" "Yes." "Then it will be better if you accompany us in person. An unpleasant mat

ter can be arranged without undue publicity." This was alarming. The manager went with them instantly. They paused at the door indicated.

"Come with me," said Thilip, turning the handle without knocking. G renter, intent on the perusal of a better he had just written, looked up 'quickly. He was face to face with Thilip An-ton.

should be summoned, and the tale told

to him. The man should be warned to keep the story out of the papers. The arrival of the constable at a late hour created consternation in the household. But the doctor knew hit people. "Have no fear, Mrs. Verril," he whispered to the fisherman's wife; "your husband caught a fine fish when he drew Mr. Anson into his net. He will not need to poach salmon any more." The doctor sat by Philip's bed while the policeman made clumsy notes of that eventful Tuesday night's occurrences. Then in his turn he amazed his hearers. He described his encounter with another Philip Anson in the highroad at an hour when the real personage of

that name was unquestionably being attended to by the doctor himself in the fisherman's cottage. "Aye," he said in his broad Yorkshire dialect, "he was as like you, sir, as twea peas, on'y, now that I see ye, he wasn't sike a sike a geutleman as you, an he talked wi' a queer catch in his voice. Tuther chap ud be Jocky Mason, 'cordin' te your discription, soa it seems to me 'at this 'ere Dr. Williams, 'oo drav you frae f station, must ha took yer clothes an twisted his feace te luke as mlcli like you as he could." The doctor cut short further conversation, ne Insisted on his patient seeking rest, but In response to Philip's urgent request he wrote a long telegram, which he promised would be handed in when the Searsdalo telegraph offico opened next morning. And this was Philip's message to Evelyn: I have suffered detention since Tuesday night at the hand3 of Jocky Mason, whosa name you will recollect, and another man, unknown. I em now cared far by friends and recovering rapidly from injuries received in a struggle. I return to London

The policeman valiantly lent the few shillings necessary, and the sturdy horse from the Fox and Hounds tore back to Scarsdale. But the constable was of additional value. His researches in Scarsdale

provided a fairly accurate history and description of the two denizens of the Grange House. Philip himself had, of course, seen "Dr. Williams" in broad daylight and undisguised not yet could he remember where he heard that smooth tongued voice. Jocky Mason he only pictured hazily after the lapse of years, but the policeman's details of his personal appearance coincided exactly with Philip's recollection, allowing for age and the hardships of convict life. At last came the doctor with a valise. "I am sorry," be laughed, "but all the money I can muster at such short notice is 12." "I began life once before with three halfpence," was the cheery reply. The few Inhabitants of the hamlet gathered to see them off, and the fisherman's wife was moved to screw her apron Into her eyes when Philip shook hands with her, saying that she would see Lira again in a few days. "Eh, but he's a bonny lad." was her verdict. " Twas a fair sham' te treat him soa." At Scarsdale and at Malton again came loving words from Evelyn. Now ehe knew who it was who telegraphed to her.

And the mysterious Philip Anson at

York remained dumb. "The wretch!" she said to ht?r moth

er. "To dare to open my letter and

send me Impudent replies!"

More than once she thought of going to York to meet her lover, but she wise

ly decided against this course. Mr,

Abingdon was out of town, and Thilip

might need some one he could trust to

obey his instructions In London.

At ten minute past 5 Anson and Dr.

CHAPTER XXII.

HE one man stood, the other sat,

gazing at each other in a silence that was thrilling. Dr. Scarth and the hotel man

ager entered noiselessly and closed the door behind them. Grenier, adioit scoundrel that he was, was bereft of speech, of the power to move. He harbored no delusions. This was no ghost coming to trouble his soul in broad daylight. It was Philip Anson himself, alive and in full possession of his senses, a more terrible apparition than any visitor from beyond the grave. His presence in that room meant penal servitude for life for Victor Grenier, a prison cell instead of palatial chambers, bread and skilly in place of Carlton luncheons. No wonder the scoundrel was dumb, that his tongue was dry. He went cold all over, and his eyes swam. Thilip advanced toward him. Grenier could not move. He was glued to his

chair.

"Who are you?" said Anson sternly. No answer. As yet the acute brain

refused to work. Lost ruined no escapewere the vague ideas that jos

tled each other in chaos.

Can you not speak? Who are you

that dares to usurp my name after

striving to murder me?"

No answer. The shifty eyes the

eyes of a detected pickpocket wander

ed stupidly from Thilip's set face to

that of the perplexed hotel manager

and the gravely amused doctor.

Thilip never used strong language, but he was greatly tempted at that moment. "Confound you!" he shouted. "Why

don't you answer me?"

"I my name is Thilip Anson. The manager the bank." (To fce Continued.)

"Is that all?" said Anson's new found friend. Philip smiled feebly, for he was very weak. "There is one matter, small in many ."ways, but impirtant too. You might
