continued. "Very littlo!" was the cool response. "My excellent friend has made a clean breast of everything. You didn't (lis snd so spoiled the finest coup that ever man dreamed of. I had no difficulty in concocting the requisite epistles from Sir Philip and Lady Morland. Your Loudon hank accepted my signature with touching confidence. I have opened two accounts in your name, one in York and one in Leeds, r,000 each. This morning I heard from London that 1 ."0.000 of your consols had been realized and placed to your current account. Just to be feeling the pulse of the local money market I drew out 2.f00 today. It is there in notes on the table. You will also fmd the check liooks and pass books in perfect order. Oh, by the way, I told your man Green to open your safe and send me your mysterious portmanteau. It is in my bedroom. That is all, I think. I am sorry if I worried the j'ouug lady" "You unutterable scamp!" cried Philip. "Well, I had to keep her quiet, you know. As it was, she suspected me. I suppose my messages hadn't the proper ring in them. And what the deuce is a blue atom?" Dr. Scarth was even more interested than ever, if possible. "P!ue Atom! P.Iuo Atom is a nobler specimen of a dog than yourself. He is a prize toy Pomeranian. You are a mongrel." Crenier for an instant grew confused again. lie sighed deeply. "X dog!" he murmured. "A blue Pomeranian! Who would have guessed it?" Philip turned to Mason. "If I leave you here alone with this

man, Crenier, will you keep him out of mischief?" Jocky gave his associate a glance which caused that worthy to sit down suddenly. "And yourself? Promise that you will remain as you are until I return?" "I promise." Anson led his friend.i from tho room, lie thanked the manager for the assistance he had given and told him the affair might be arranged without police interference. Long and earnestly did he confer with Mr. Abingdon. It was a serious thing to let these men off scot free. Grenier's case was worse in a sense than that of Mason. There were three banks involved, and forgery to a bank is a crime not to" be forgiven. There was a dubious way out. Philip might accept responsibility for Grenier's transactions. If the London bank accepted Grenier's signature for his, surely the local institutions would accept his for Grenier's. Mr. Abingdon was wroth at the bare suggestion. 'You will be forging your own name," he protested vehemently. "Very well, then. He shall write checks payable to self or order, indorse them, and 1 will pay them into my account." "I dare cot approve of any such procedure." So Philip, though sorely tried, again labored his arguments that the trial of Grenier would be a cause celebre in which bis, Anson's, name would be unpleasantly prominent. Evelyn would be drawn into it and Abingdon himself. There would be columns of sensation In the newspapers. Moreover it was quite certain that Jocky Mason would commit suicide unless they captured him by a subterfuge, and then the whole story would leak out. It ended by Thilip gaining the day, for at the bottom of his heart Abingdon was touched by Mason's story, thoroughpaced ruffian as he was. They re-entered No. 41. The pair were sitting as they were left. Grenier was not even smoking. The affair of tho Blua Atom had deeply wounded his vanity. Philip walked straight to Mason and took him by the shoulder. "Now, listen to me," he said. "I gave you one crack on the head, and you have given me one. Shall we say that accounts are squared?" "Do you mean it. sir?" "Yes, absolutely." "Then all I can say Is this, sir: During the rest of my life I'll make good use of the chance you have given me. God bless you for the boys' sake more than my own." "And you." went on Philip, turning to the disconsolate Grenier, "will you leave England and make a fresh start In a new land? You are young enough and clever enough in some respects to earn an honest living." "I will. sir. I swear it." The utter collapse of his castle In Spain had sobered him. The gates of Portland were yawning open fot bim. ind the goodness of the man he had wronged had closed them iu his face. Never again would he see their grim front if he could help it He readily gave every assistance ia tha brief investigation that followed. Mr. Abingdon looked on askance as he wrote checks for iS.OOO and 3.000 on the York and Leeds banks respectively, but even Philip himself gave an astonished laugh when he saw his own signature written with quiet certainty and accuracy. "Oh. that's nothing!" cried Grenier

In momentary elation. "I took in Mr. Abingdon and sent a complete letter to the London bank." "You (1M not take me in," growled Abingdon. "You made one fatal mistake." "And what was that, sir?" "You alluded to the annual report of the 'home.' Every one connected with that establishment, from the founder

down to the latest office Ihjv, invariably calls it the 'Mary Anson home.' Mr. Anson would never write of it iu other terms." Grenier was again abashed. "Have you any money ia your pocket?" said Philip whe i the forger had accounted for every farthing. For one appreciable instant Grenier hesitated. Then he flushed. He had resisted temptation. "Yes," he said; "plenty. Langdon supplied me with funds." "How much?" "Two hundred and fifty pounds. I have over seventy left." "I will arrange matters with him. Come to my West End office next Monday, and you will be given sufficient to keep you from poverty and crime until you find your feet in Canada. Remember, you sail on Wednesday." "No fear of any failure on my part, sir. I can hardly credit my good or, what I want to say is, I can never thank you sufficiently."

"Pay Mason's fare to London. Better stay with him. His sons may have a good influence on you too." Mason rose heavily. "I'll find him a job, sir. He can pack your bag." The words recalled to rhilip tho knowledge of his incongruous attire. Soon he wore his own clothes. He refused to allow Grenier to divest himself of the garments he wore, but he was glad to see his old watch again. Dr. Scarth bade them farewell and returned to Scarsdale by the last train. Philip and Abingdon arrived in London at 2:1." a. m. On the platform, accompanied by her mother, was Evelyn. She wept all the way to Mount street, where Philip would be accommodated for the night. She cried again when she saw his poor wounded head, but she laughed through her tears when she ran off to fetch a very small and very sleepy dog, with long blue hair falling in shaggy masses over his eyes and curling wonderfully over his tiny body.

Mr. James Crichton Langdon was imperatively summoned to London and given such a lecture by Mr. Abingdon that he so far abandoned the error of his ways as to strive to forget that such a person as Evelyn Atherley existed. The ex-magistrate had seen him ia Devonshire and was so skeptical of his statements concerning the wherealouts of Sir Philip and Lady Morland that he traveled direct to York via Gloucester and Birmingham to clear up with Philip In person a mystery rendered more dense by the curious letter and telegram he received in London. One day in August the Sea Maiden dropped anchor off the Yorkshire coast not far from the gaunt cliff on which stood Grange House. Dr. Scarth entertained Mr. and Mrs. Anson in his house for the night, and

some of the men were allowed ashore. They came back full of a story they had heard how the skipper had met with a mishap on the big point to s'uth'ard, was rescued by three fishermen and had bought for each man the freehold of the house in which he lived, lesides presenting them jointly w ith a line smack. "He's a rare good sort, there's no doubt a Unit that." said the chief narrator, "an' of course 'e can afford to do that sort o thing, bein' the King o Diamonds." "He's more than the King of Diamonds; he's the King of Trumps," observed a gigantic, broken nosed stoker who listened to the yarn, not being one of the shore going men. "You've known him this long time, haven't you, Mason?" said the first speaker. "Yes; ever since he was a bit of a boy. Ten years It must be. P.ut we lost sight of each other until I met him the other day. Then he gave me a job for the sake of old times." THE EMU.

From Gen. Chas. King: "Mr. Parrish knows well how to make a story go, and with such a heroine and two such manly fellows as Hampton and young Brant, he has a strong one here, I envy him his power, I rejoice in his descriptions, and I thank him for the spirited picture he draws of the young officer checking that mad lynching bee just in the nick of time. With all my heart I hope tho story may be widely read. "Charles King."
