When I got baolt to London I went to the address you had given in the marriage certificate with Steele, The old woman at the lodgings remembered you suite well and gave me the address of the bookshop at-which you were employed. I , represented myself as a long-lost cousin, rand at last ' I wormed it out of the manager that you had. married a man' of wealth and position. He wouldn't givd me his nam, but I at pnee smelt a rat. I looked up Varney's marriage certificate, and there was the same nsme again Leslie Morne. Not difficult, you see.

He stuck his thumbs in his .waistcoat pocket and looked at her truculently. " "And if I' don't, you duly report the result of your researches to Sir Kalph?" "Tbst is so.' 'Teslie let her gaze travel speculatively over the man. from the crown of hs soft felt hat to" the tin of his brown boots. He bore hi. jself jauntily beneath her' scrutiny, and smiled, as though to Bay. "Well. I'm not such a bad-looking fellow after all, am I?" "But what would you tell Sir Ralph." she Inquired In a meditative tone, as If considering his proposal in a businesslike way. "Oh. you need have no fear on that score." Mr. Erdsley assuYed her. "I should tell him I'd met the Armenian priest who was supposed to have married 'em. and could lay my hands on him at any moment. That would keep him quiet."

"And If I were .to. pay. you whatever
sum you ask.what would prevent you from, then revealing your discovery to Sir' Ralph?": asked Leslie," prodding at the turf 'with her alpenstock. - "That's a fair and sensible question.
