V ' . a m t m - a p ram eipeciea, tno next letI ter from his father contained a revocation of all that had pleased him In the former 'tJ..'-r's one. Beecot senior wrote many pages of abuse. He always did babble like a complaining woman when anjrered. II declined to sanction the marriage and ordered his son at once underlined to give up all thought of making Sylvia Norman hla wife. Sylvia, under the charge of Deborah and escorted by Bart Tawgey hud duly left Gwyune street, bag and baggage, and she was now established In Rose cottage, Jubileetown. The house was a small one, and there was not a single rose In the garden around it. She was assigned the best room In the small abode, and one of the first things bho did was to write a letter to Paul asking hlni to repair to Rose cottage to witness the marriage of Dfborah and Bart. The handmaiden thought this was necessary so that she could make full uso of her intended husband. "If he wasn't here allays," said the bride , elect, "he'd be gadding about Idling. I know him. An' me getting a business together won't be easy unless I've got him at 'and, as you may say, to take round the bills, let alono that he ought to sleep in the 'ouse In case burgulars gits In." Deborah, as an American wonld say, was a hustler, and, having made up her mind, she did not let grass grow under her feet. For three Sundays she had the pleasure of hearing the banns announced which foretold that Bart Tawscy and herself would soon be man and wife. Then the marriage took place. The future Mrs. Tawsey had no relatives, but Bart produced Mrs. Purr, a snuffy old grandmother from some London slum who drank gin during the wedding feast, much to the scandal of the bride. Paul acted as best man to Bart, and Sylvia, in her plain dress, M as bridesmaid. After the ceremony Paul, laughing at the oddity of It all, took his leave. On walking to the gate he wa3 overtaken by Mrs. Purr, who winked mysteriously. "Whatever you do, sir," said the lean old creature, with many contortions of her withered face, "don't have nothln to do with Tray." "Trny?" echoed Paul in surprise. "Mr. Tash's office boy?" -V. -- v - ! s - " i .jc--cov.-..

"Illm and none ether. I knows his grandmother, as 'as bin up for drunk 200 times and Is proud of it Stretchers is as common to her, sir, as kissings la to a handsome young gont like you. An the boy takes arter her. A deep young cuss," whispered Granny Purr signiaeantly. "But why should I beware of him 7' asked Beecot, puzzled. "A nod's a wink to a blind 'un." croaked Mrs. Purr, condensing the proverb and turning away. "Jus leave that brat Tray to hla own wickedness. They'll bring him to the gallers some day." "But I want to know" "Ah, well, then, you wont, sir. I ses what I ses, and I ses no more nor I oughter say. So good night, sir," and Mrs. Purr toddled up the newly graveled path and entered the cottage, leaving an odor of gin behind her. It was 5 o'clock when Paul arrived at the door of the stairs leading to his attic, and here he was touched on the shoulder by no less a person than Mr. Billy Ilurd. Only when he spoke did Paul recognize him by his voice, for the gentleman who stood before him was not the brown individual he knew as the detective. Mr. Ilurd was in evening dress, with the neatest of patent boots and the tightest of white gloves, lie wore a brilliantly polished Bilk hat and twirled a gold headed cane; also he had donned a smart blue cloth overcoat with a velvet collar and cuffs. But, though his voice was tho voice of Ilurd, his face was that of quite a different person. His hair was dark and worn rather long, bis mustache black and large and brushed out a la kaiser, and he affected an eyeglass as Immovable' as that of Hay. "Why are you masquerading as a Frenchman, nurd?" "Not Ilurd In this skin, Mr. Beecot. Comte de la Tour, a votre service," and he presented a thin glazed, card with a coronet engraved on it. "Come up to your room. There's something to be talked over between us." "No bad news, I hope?" "Ah, my poor . friend," said the detective In his usual genial voice, "you have had enough bad news, I am aware. To lose a lovely wife and a fine fortune at ouce. Eh, what a pity!" "I have lost the money, certainly," said Beecot, lighting his lamp, "but the wife will be mine as soon as I can save sufficient to give her a better home than this." M. le Comte de la Tour sat down and gracefully flung open his overcoat, so as to expose a spotless shirt front. "What," he asked, lifting his darkened eyebrows, "so you mean to marry that girl?" "Of course," said Taul angrily. "Do you think I'm a brute ?" "But the money?" "What does that matter? I love her, not the money." "And the name. Her birth" "I'll give her my own name, and then

we'll see who will dire say a word against my wife." Ilnrd etretcbed out his hand and, gTasplnsr that of Beecot, shook It warmly. "Upon my word you are a man, and that's almost better than being a gentleman," he said heartily. "I've heard everything from II r. Fash, and I honor you, Mr. Beecot; I honor you." Tanl stared. "You must have been brought up ln a queer way, Ilurd," he said dryly, "to express this surprise because a man acts as a man and not as a blackguard." "Ah, but you see ln my profession I nave mixed with blackguards, and that has lowered my moral tone. It's refreshing to meet a straight, honorable man such as you are, Mr. Beecot I liked you when first I set eyes on you and determined to help you to discover the assassin of Aaron Norman" "Lemuel Krill you mean." Ilurd looked round the bleak garret expressively and shrugged his shoulders. "You can't bring Miss Norman here." "No. But I may make enough money to give her a better home." "Can I help you?" "I don't see how you can. I want to be an author." "Well," said Ilurd, whose British speech was in strange contrast to his foreign appearance, "it's not a bad game to be an author if you get a good serial connection. Oh, don't look surprised. I know about newspapers and publishers as I know about most things. See here, Mr. Beecot, have you ever tried your hand at a detective story?" Xo. I write on a higher level." "You won't write on a more paying level," replied Ilurd coolly. "I know a newspaper which will, give you if 1 recommend you, mind 100 for a good detective yarn. You apply for it." "But I couldn't make up one of those plots so intricate."

"Pooh! It's a trick. You set your puppets in such and 6uch a way and then mix them up. I'll give you the benefit of my experience as a 'tec, and with my plot and your own writing we'll be able to knock up a story for the paper I talk of. Then, with 100 you'll have a nest egg to start with." "I accept with gratitude," said Beecot, moved, "but I really don't know why you should trouble about me." "Because you're a white man and an honorable gentleman," said the detective emphatically. "I'll see about the story for you. Meanwhile I am going to ft card party to meet incidentally Mr. Grexon Hay." "Ah! You still suspect him?" "I do, and with good reason. He's got another mug in tow. Lord George Sandal, the son of Lord well I needn't mention names, but Hay's trying to clear the young ass out, and I'm on the watch. Hay will never know me as the Count de la Tour. Not he, smart as he is. I'm fly!" "Do you speak French well?" "Moderately. But I play a silent part and say little. I shut my mouth and open my eyes. But what I came here to say is that I Intend to find out the assassin of Aaron Norman." "I can't offer you a reward, Hurd," said Paul, with a sigh. "Oh, that's all right! The widow, by the advice of Pash, has doubled the reward. One thousand pounds it is now worth winning, eh?" "numph!" said Paul moodily. "I shouldn't think she loved her husband so much as that" nurd's brown eyes shot a red flame which showed that he was excited, though he was cool enough externally. "Yes," he admitted ln a careless manner, "she certainly does act the weeping widow in rather an exaggerated fashion. However, she's got the cash now, or at least her daughter has, which 13 the same thing. The two have taken up their quarters ln a fashionable hotel In the west end and are looking for a house. The old woman manages everything, and she will be one too many for Mr. Hay." , "What? Does he know Mrs. Krill? He said he didn't" "Quite right He didn't when the la dies went first to Pash's ofnee. But Hay, on the lookout for a rich wife, got Tash to Introduce him to the ladles, who were charmed with him. He's making up to the daughter even in the few weeks that have elapsed and now is .assisting them to find a house. The daughter loves him, I fan cy, but whether the mother will allow the marriage to take place I can't say." "Surely not on such a short acquaintance." Hurd bent forward as about to say something, then changed his mind "lieally, I don't know Hay is fasci nating and handsome. Have you been to see him yet?" "No. He asked me, but all these troubles have put him out of my head. Why do you ask?" "Because next time he invites you, go." "You warned me against him." "And I warn you again," said the detective dryly. "Don't ask me to ex plain, for I can't But you go to see Hay when he invites you and make yourself agreeable, especially to Mr3. Krill." "Am I likely to meet her?" asked Paul, with repugnance. "Yes, I fancy so. After all, you are engaged to the daughter cf the dead man. and Mrs. Krill I don't count Maud, who ls a tool is a deucedly clever woman. She will keep her eye on you and Ml3 Norman." "Why? She has the money and need take no further notice." Hurd closed one eye in a suggestive manner. "Mrs. Krill may not be so sure of the money, even though pos session L? nine points of the law. You remember that scrap of paper found by the maid?" "In which Norman warned Sylvia against allowing his real name to become known? Yes." (To be Continued.)
