which he laid on the table and open-

very ranch the same as the pictures

but Mr Moreland turned over the
pages till nearly the end, when he

hospitality to his friends, like the
lord of an English manor, and a
magnificent town _house down in
St. Kilda, which would not have
bren unworthy of Park Lane.
Nor were his domestic relations
less happy. He had a charming
wife,who was one of the best known
and most popular ladies of Mel-
bourne, and an equally charming
daughter,who, being both pretty
and an heiress, naturally attracted
crowds of suitors. But Madge
Frettlby was capricious, and re-
fused inumerable offers. Being a -
extremely independent young per-
stli with a mind of her own, as she
bad not yet seen any one she could
love, she decided to remain single,
and with her mother continued to
dispense with the hospitality of the
mansion at St. Kilda. But the
fairy prince comes to every woman,
even if she has to wait a hundred
years like the Sleeping Beauty, and
in this case he arrived at the ap-

Fitzgerald. He had left behind
him in the old country a ruined
castle and a few acres of barren
land, inhabited by discontented
tenants who refused to pay tent,
and talked darkly about the Land
,League and other disagreeable
things. Under these circumstances
with no rent coming in, and n o
prospect of doing anything in the
future, Brian had left the castle of
his forefathers to the rats and the
family banshee, and came out to
Australia to make his fortune. He
having taken a fanny to him, assist-
ed him by every means in his
power. Under Frettlbv's advice he

self to be growing rich. The Fitz-
geralds had always been more
famous for spending than saving,
and it was an agreeable surprise to
their latest representative to find
the money rolling in instead of out.
He began to indulge in castles in
the air concerning the other castle
in Ireland, with' the barren acres
and discontented tenants. In his
mind's eye he saw the old place rise
up in all its pristine splendor• out
of its ruins; he saw the barren acres
well cultivated, and the tenants
happy and content—lie was rather
doubtful an this latter point, . but

coquetted with him for some time
but at last, unable to withstand the

fessed in a low voice, with a pretty
mile on her face, that she could

to observe the traditional fciims of
wooing, the result can easily be
guessed. Brian hunted Fall over

CAAPIER VII.
A WOOL KING.
Itlark Frettlby was pne of those
fortunate individuals who made
money out of everything. His
tuck was proverbial throughout
Aeirtlalia, ' If there was any specu-
- 'dation for which Moak Frettlby
went in, other men would be ;ore
to fellow., and in every case tho re -
ain't turned out as well, add in
many cases reran better than was ex-
gteotdd. IIe had come out in the
early days of the colony with com-
paratively little money, but his
.great perseverance and never fail.
:ng luck 1 had soon changed his
fact. This being satisfactorily at-
ranged,.he next proceeded to speak
to' the father, and had just screwed
his courage up to the awful ordeal
when something occurred which
postponed the interview indefinitely.
Mrs Frettlby was out driving,when
the horses took fright and bolted.
The coachman •and groom both es-
caped unhurt, but Dlrs Frettlby
was thrown out and killed instan-
taneously. This was the first really
great trouble which had fallen on
Mark Frettlby, and he seemed to
be stunned by it. Shutting him-
self up in his room he refused to
see any one, even his daughter, and
appeared at the funeral witha white
haggard face, which shocked every
one. When everything was over
and the body of the late Mrs Fret-
tlby was cinsigned to the earth with
all the pomp and ceremoney which
money could give, the 'bereaved
husband redo home and resumed
his old life. But he was never the
same again. His face, which had
always been so genial and bright,
became stern and sad. Ile seldom
smiled, and when be did it was a
faint, wintry smile, which seemed
mechanical. His whole heart
seemed centered in his daughter.
She became the sole mistress of
the St. Kilda mansion, and her
father idolized her. She seemed to
be the one%thing left to him which
gave hint an interest in life, and
bad it not been for her bright pre -
sense 'constantly near him, Mark
Frettlby wonld have wished himself
lying beside his dead wife in the
quiet graveyard, a here there is no
trouble or care. After a time had
elapsed Brian ,again resolved to ask
Mr Frettlby for the hand cf bis
daughter when for the second time

the St. ICilda mansion.
Brian took a dislike to the new
comer the first time he saw him,for
Mr Fitzgerald was a student of
Lavanter, and prided himself on bis
reading character. His opinion of
Whyte was anything but flattering
to that gentleman, for in spite of
bis handsome face and suave man-
ners, both Brian and Madge felt
the same repulsion to hits . as they
would to a snake. Mr Whyte,how-
ever, with true diplomacy, affected
not to -notice the cdld way in which
Madge received him, and began to
show marked attention to her,
much to Brian's disgust, At last
be asked her to be his wife, and
notwithstanding her prompt refusal
spoke to Mr Frettlby on the subject.
Much to his daughter's astonish-
ment, that gentleman consented to
Whyte's paying his addresses L.
Madge, and told her that be wished.
her to consider the young man's
proposal favorably. In spite of all
Madge could say, be refused to al-
ter- his decision, and Whyte, feeling
himmelf safe, began to treat Brian
with an insolence that was exceed=
ingly galling to Fitzgerald's proud
nature. He called on Whyte at
his lodgings, and after a violent
quarrel with bim bad left the house
vowing to kill Whyte if he married
Madge Frettlby. Fitzgerald went
alone to Mr Frettlby that night,and•
had an interview with him. He
confessed that be loved Madge, and
that his love was returned. So,
when Madge added her entreaties
to Brian's, Mr Frettlby found him-
self unable to withstand the combiu-
ed forces,'and gave his consent to
their engagement. Whyte was ab-
sent in the country for the next
few days after his stormy;. interview
with Brian, and it was only on his
return that he learnt that Madge
was engaged to his rival. He saw
Mr Frettlby on the subject, and
having learnt from his own lips
that such was the case, he 1e!t the
house at once, and swore that he
would never enter it again. He
little knew how prophetic his words
were, for on that same night he met
his death in a hansom' cab. Ho
had passed nit of the life of both
the lovers, and they, glad that he
troubled them no more, never sus-
pected for a moment that the body
of the unknown man found in Roy-
ston's cab was that of Oliver
Whyte. -
About two weeks after Whyte's
dissapearance Mr Frettlby gave a
dinner party in honor of his laugh•
ter's birthday. It was a• delightful
evening, and the wide -French win-
dows which led on to the verandah
were open, letting in a gentle breeze,
blowing with a fresh, salt odor from
the ocean. Outside there was a
kind of screen of tropical plants,
and through the tangle of the
boughs the guests, seated at the
table, could just see the waters of
the bay glittering like silver in the
moonlight. Brian was seated op-
posite t) Madge, and every now and
then he caught a glimpse of her
bright face behind the great silver
epergne, filled with fruit and flow-
ers, which stood in the centre of
the table. Mark Frettleby was at
the head of the table, and appeared
in very good spirits, for his stern
features were tomeat hat relaxed,
and he drank more wine than usual.
The soup had just 'been removed,
when some one who was late enter-
ed with apologies and took his seat.
Some one in this case was Mr Felix
Rolleston, ono of the best young
men in Melbourne. He had an in-
come of iris own, scribbled 'a little
for the papers, was to be seen at
every house of any pretensions to
fashion in Melbourne, and was al-
ways bright, happy, and full of
news. Whenever any scandal oc-
curred Felix Rolleston was sure to
know it first, and could tell more
about it than any one else. He
knew everything that was going on,
both at home and abroad. His
knowledge, if not very accurate, was
at least extensive, and his conversa-
tion was piquant and witty. As
Calton, one of the leading lawyers
of tbe city, said, " Rolleston put
him in mind of what Beaconsfield
said of ono cif his characters in ' Lo-
thaii, ' He wasn't an intellectual
Crtesus, but, his pockets were al-
ways full of sixpences.' " There
was a good deal of, truth in Calton's
remark, and Felix always distribut'
ed his sixpences freely. The con-
versation had been dull for the last
few minutes at the Frettlby dinner
table ; consequently when Felix ar-
rived everybody brightened up, a5
they felt certain now that the con-
versation wonld be amusing.
" So awfully sorry, don't you
know," said Felix, as he slipped in.
to a seat by Madge ; "but a fellow
like me has got to be so careful of
his time—so many calls ou it,"

As no one knew what the news
was they could not very well say
that they had so Rollestou was
happy, having found out that he
could make a sensation.
" Well; do you know," he said
gravely fixing in his eyeglass, "they
found out the name of the fellow
'that was, murdered in the hansom
cab ?"
"Never!" cried every one eagerly.
" Yes," went on Rolleston, "and
what's more, you all know him."
" It's never Whyte 1" said Brian,
in a horrified tone.
"Hang it, how did you know 1"
said Rolleston, rather annoyed at
being forestalled. " Why, I just
heard it at the St-. Kilda station."
" Oil, easily enough," said Brian,
rather confused. "I used to see
Whyte constantly, and as I bad not
set eyes on" him for the last two
weeks, I thought it might be bite."
" How did they Sad out who it
wear said Mr Frettlby, idly toying
with his wine' glass.
" Oh, one of those detective fel-
lows, you know," answered Felix,
" They know everything."
" I am sorry to hear it," said
Frettlby, referring to the fact that
Whyte was murdered. "He had a
letter of introduction to me, and
seemed a clever pushing young fel-
low."
"A confounded cad," muttered'
Felix, under his breath ; and Brian,
who overheard him, seemed inclined
to assent.
For the rest of the meal nothing
was talked of but the murder and
the mystery in which it was shroud-
ed. When the ladies retired they
chatted about it in the drawing
room, but finally dropped it for
agreeable subjects. The gentlemen,
however, when the cloth had been
removed, filled their glasses, and
continued their disclllssion with un-
abated. vigor. Brian alone did not
take part in the conversation. He
sat moodily staring at the untested
wine, and wrapped in a brown study.

When the gentlemen entered the
drawing room a young lady was en-
gaged in playing one of those detest-
able pieces of music called morceau

air is taken and variations embroi-
dered on it till it becomes a perfect
agony to distinguish the tune ainid

demi semiquavers.

Mr Whyte was."

surprise.
" De mortars nil nisi bonum,"
quoted Fitzgerald ; " but, as I de-
tested him when alive you cannot
expect me to regret his end."
Madge did not answer him, but
glanced quickly at his face, and for
the first tune it struck her that be
looked ill.
".What is the matter with, you,
dear 1" she asked, placing her hand
on his arm. " You are not looking
well."
"Nothing—nothing," he answered
hurriedly. "I've been a little Wor-
ried about business lately ; but
come," lie said, rising, "let us go

sister of Rolleston's inamorata, and
Madge stifled a laugh as she went
out on the verandah with Fitzger-
ald.
"What a shame of yot:,'•she said,
bursting into a laugh when they
were steely outside ; "She has been
taught y the best masters,"
" How I pity thorn," retorted
Brian grimly, as Julia wailed out,
" Meet um once again," with an ear
piercing shrillness. " I'd much ra-
ther listen to our ancestral banshee,
and as to meet her again, one inter-
view would bo more than enough."
Madge did not answer, but lean-
ing lightly on tho side of the ve-
randab, looked out into the beauti-
ful moonlight night. There were a
number of people passing along tbe
Esplanade, some of whom stopped
and listened to Julia's shrill notes,
which being mellowed by distance
must have sounded rather nice. One
man in particular seemed to have
taste for music, for he' er'eifstently
stared over'the fence off the house.
Brian and Madge talked of all,sorts
of things, but every time Madge
looked up she saw the man watch-
ing the house.

Brian sat and smoked, staring
out into the moonlight meanwhile.
Yep, the man was certainly watch-
ing the house, for he sat on one of
the seats, and kept his eyes fixed on
the brilliantly lighted windows.—
Brian threw away his cigarette and
shivered slightly.
" Could anyone have seen me 1"
ho muttered, rising uneasily. —
" Pshaw 1 of course not, and the
cabman would never recognize mo
again. " Curse Whyte, I wirh I'd
never set eyes upon bim."
He gave one glands at the dark
figure on the seat, and then, with a
shiver, passed into the warm, well
lighted room. He did not feel easy
in his mind, and he would have felt
still less so, had he known that the
man on the seat was one of the
cleverest Melbourne detectives.
My Corby bad been watching the
Frettlby mansion the whole even-
ing, and was getting rather annoy-
ed. Moreland did not know where
Fizgerald lived, and as the detective
wanted to find out, be determined
to watch Brian's movements and
trace -hint bomb.
" IF 'he's that pretty girl's lever,
I'll wait till he leaves the house,"
argued Mr Gorby to himeelf, when
he first took his seat on the Espla-
nade. " He won't stay long away
from her, and once lie leaves the
house I'll follow bitu up till I know
where be lives."
