CONCLUDED.
"Tu is is the geutleman who wants
to know about the check, sir," said
Thrnto(t & 'arbor's clerk to Calton,
"•Oh, indeed," answered Calton,
quietly. "I mu glad to see him.;
you can go."
The clerk bowed and went out,
dosing the door after him. Moore -
land took his seat directly .in front
of C.ilton, and with his back to the
Floor. Kilsip, seeing this, strolled
across the room in. 'a nonchalant
.nnnner,while Calton engaged More-
land in conversation, and quietly
turned the key.
"You want to see rue, sir 1" said
Calton, resuming his seat.
"Yes ; that is, alone," •replied
Moreland, uneasily.
"Oh, these gentlemen are all my
friends," said Gorton, quietly, "any-
thing you may say is quite safe."
"That they are your fg11endsand
are quite safe, is nothing to me,"
said Moreland, insolently. "I wish
to speak to you in private;"
"Don't you think you would like
fo kno,w my friends?" said Calton
coolly, taking no notice of his re-
mark,
"1) -----your friends, sir!" cried
Moreland, furiously, rising from his
slat.
Calton laughed, and introduced
Mr Moreland to the others.
"Dr Chinston, Mr Kilsip and—
Mr Fitzgerald."
-Fitzgerald," gasped 'Moreland,
growing lade. "f —I --what's that?"
he shrieked,as lie saw Whyte's coat,
all weather stained,lying on a eclair
arear 1im,nnd which he immediately
recognized,
"'Chat is the rope that's going to
hang • you," said Kilsin, quietly,
('oming behind bits, "f'or the mur-
der of Oliver Wayte."•
"'rrapped, •by G---:" shouted the
wretched man, wheelirg round, so
as to face Kilsip. He sprang at
the detective's throat, and they
Loth rolled together on the floor,but
the latter was too strong for him,
land, after a sharp struggle, he sue•
ceeded in getting, the handcuffs on
Moreland's wrists. The others
stood around perfectly quiet, know-
ing that Kilsip required no assist-
since. Now that there was no pos-
sibility of escape, Moreland seemed
to become resigned, and rose sullen-
ly off the floor.
"By 0—! I'll make you pay for
this," lie hissed between his teeth,
with a white despairing face. "You
can't prove anything."
"Can't we," said Calton, touching
the confession. "You are wrong,
This is the confession of Mark Tret-
tlby made before he died."
"It's a d—d lie."
"A jury will decide that," said.

bourne jail. -
"Ah! Perhaps they'll give nut
the s•une cell as you occupied," said
-'Moreland, with a hard laugh, turn-
ing to I''itzoelnld.' "I should like
' it for its old associations."
Brian did not answer Lim, but,
picking up his hat and gloves-, p1e-
reared to go.
••Stop!" cried Moreland, fiercely.
••1°see that it is all up with me, so

"It would certainly have been
'wiser," said Calton.
"After all,' said \loser and, non-
chalantly, taking no .notice of this
remark, "1 don't know that 1•m.
sorry about it.' I've bad a hell upon
earth since I killed Whyte."
Moreland shigigged his shoulders.
"T told you I wasn't a coward,"
answered,coolly. "Yes, I did it;
it was Whyte's own fault. When
I met him that night he told me
how Frettlby wouldIt't let him
marry his daughter, but said that
he'd make Irina, and showed me the
marriage certificate. . I thought if
could only get it I'd raake a nice
?ittle pile out of Frettlby over it; so
when Whyte went on drinking I
did not. After he had gone out of
the hotel, I put on his Coat, which
he left behind. I saw him standing
near the lamp post, and Fitzgerald
come up adcl then leave him. When
you came down the street," he went
on, turning to Fitzgerald, "Ishrunk

I walked llowe—so I've done you
all nicely, but—"
"You're taught at lust," finished
Kilsip, quietly.
Moreland fell down in a chair,
with an air of utter weariness and
lassitude.
"No man can le stronger than
Destiny," he said, dreamily. "I
have lost and you have won; so life
is a chess board, after all, and we
are the puppetesof Fate."
Ile refused to utter another word;
so, leaving Calton and Kilsip with
him, Brian and the doctor went out
and hailed a cab. It drove up to
the entrance of the court where Cal -
ton's office was, and then Moreland,
walking as if in a dream, left the
room, and got into the cab, followed
by Kilsip.
"Do you know," said Chinston,
thoughtfully, as they stoad and
watched the cab drive off, "do you
know what the end of that man will
be?"
"It i'egeiies no prophet to foretell
that," said Calton,dryly, "He will
be banged."
"No, he won't," retorted the doc-
tor. "He will commit suicide."
CHAPTER XXX V.
"THE LOVE THAT LIVES."
There are certain periods in the
life of men when fate seems to have
done her worst, and any further
misfortunes which may befall are
accepted with a philosophical resig-
nation,begotten by the very severity
of previous., trials. Fitzgerald was
in this state of mind—he was calm,
but it was the calmness of despair
the misfortunes of the past year
seemed to have come to a climax,
and he looked forward td the pub-
lication of the whole bitter story
with an indifference that surprised
himself. His owu name and that
of Madge and her dead father would
be on every tongue, yes he felt per-
fectly callous to whatever might be
said on the subject. As long as
Madge recovered, and they could go
away to another part of the world,
leaving Australia with its bitter
memories behind, lie did not caro.
Moreland world suffer the bitter
penalty aids crime, and toren noth-
ing more would ever be heard of
the matter. It would be better fog
the whole story to be told and mo-
mentary pain endured, than to go
on striving to hide the infamy and
shame which might be discovered at
any 'moment. Already the news
was all over Melbourne that the
murderer of Oliver Whyte had been
captured, and that his confession
would bring to light,certain startl-
ing facts concerning the late Mark
Frettlby. Brian well knew .that
the world winked.l1t secret vices as
long as there was"an attempt at con-
cealment, though it was cruelly
severe on those which were brought
to Tight, and that many whose lives
Might be secretly far more culpable
than was Mark Frettlily's would be
the first to slander the dead pian.
The public curiosity, however, was
destined never to be gratifiecl, for
the next day it became known that
Roger Moreland had hanged himself
in his cell during the night,and had
left no confession-. behind him.
When Brian heard this he breath-
ed a heart -felt prayer of thanks for
his deliverance, and went to see
Calton, whom he found at his
chambers, in deep conversation with
Chinston and Kilsip. They all
came to the conclusion that as More-
land was now dead nothing could
be gained by publishing the con-
fession of Mark Frettlby ; so agreed
to burn it, and when Fitzgerald saw
in the heap of blackened paper i'n
the fireplace all that remained of the
bitter story he felt a weight lifted
offi`1`it& 1%ea%i'.••»""'I'�e�rFi ^�;lliii-='
a oh an'` o Rip, all ptiw ed- do
a P, tf
keep silent on the subject, and they
kept the promise nobly, for nothing
was ever known of "the dream -
stances which led to the death of
Oliver Whyte, and it was generally
supposed pp that it must have been
caused by some quarrel between the
dead man and his friend, Roger
Moreland.
Fitzgerald, however, did not for-
got the good service that Kilsip had
done him, and gave him a sum of
money which made bim indepodont
for life, thizugh he still followed his
old profession of a detective from
sheer.lobe of excitement, and was
always looked upon with admira-
tion as the man
who had solved the
mystery of the famous lransoni cab
murder. Brian, after several con-
sultations with Galton, at last calve
to the conclusion that it would be
no use to reveal to Sal Rawlins the
fact that ,she was 11Ia;k Frettlby's
daughter, as by the will the money
was clearly left to Madge, and such
a revelation could bring her no
pecuniary benefit,wli'ile her bringing
up unfitted her for her position ; so
a yearly income,more than sufficient
for her wants, was settled upon'her,
and she was allowed to remain in
ignorance of her parentage. Tho
influence of Sal Rawlins' old life,
however, was very strong on her.,
and she devoted herself to the task
of saving her fallen sister's. Know-
ing, as she did, all the intriceoies of
the slums, she was enabled to do an
immense amount of good, and many
an unhappy woman was saved from
the squalor and hardship of a gutter
life by tho kind hand of Sal Raw-
lins.

ta'1llark.,Frettlby's great wealth,she
placed the management of her estate
in the bands of 14r Calton, who,
with Thinton 4t Tarbet,acted as her
agents in Australia. On her re-
covery she learned the story of her,
father's early marriage, but both
Calton and Fitzgerald were silent
about the fact of Sal Rawlins being
her half sister, as such a revelation
could do no good, and would only
create a scandal, as no explanation
could be given except the true one.
Shortly afterward Madge married
Fitzgerald, and both of them only
too gladly left Australia, with all
its sorrows and bitter memories.
Standing with her husband on
the deck of one of the P. and O.
steamers, as it plowed the blue
waters of Hobson's bay into foam,
they both watched Melbourne as it
gradually faded from their view,
under the giow of the sunset.. They
could see the two domes of the ex-
hibition, and the law court and
government house, with its tall
tower rising from the midst of the
green trees. In the background was
a bright crimson bky, barred with
masses of black clouds, and.over all
the great city hung a could of smoke
like a pall.
The glaring red- light. of the sink-
ing sun glared angrily, on the heavy
waters, and the steamer seemed to
be making its way through a sea of
blood. Madge, clinging to her hus-
band's arm, felt her eyes fill with
tears, as she saw the land of her
birth receding slowly.
"Good -by," she murmured softly.
"Good•by forever."
"You do not regret?" he sand,
bending his head.
"Regret, no," she answered, look-
ing at him with loving eyes. "With
you by my side I fear nothing.
Surely our hearts have been tried
in the furnace of afl[iction, and our
love has been chastened • and puri
fled."
"We are sure of nothing in this
world," replied Brian with a sigh.
"But after all the sorrow and trief
of the past let us hope that the fu-
ture will be peace."
"Peace!"
A white winged sea gull arose
suddenly from the crimson waters,
and circled rapidly in the air above
them.
"A happy omen," she said, look-
ing lip fondly td the grave face of
her husband, "for your life and for
mine." ,
He bent down and kissed her.
The great steamer moved slowly
out to sea, and as they stood on the
deck, hand clasped in hand, with
.the fresh salt breeze blowing keenly
in their faces, it bore them away
into the placid hearty of the coming
night, towards the old world and
the now life.

CHAPTER I.
JiARUhD QUARIT•CH MEDITATE*.
There are some things and faces
which, when felt or seen for the
first time, project themselves upon,
the mind like a sun image on a
sensitive plate and there remain un-
alterably fixed. • To take the case of
a face—we may never see it again,
or it may become the companion of
our life,but there the picture is just
as we first knew it, the same smile,
ir;-,uuld'.teG l=ien=
�i-"=lam f .�
a toil"-" fe"tIs'titidlafg±usi`tlieWnttdstt
of change of the absolutely inde
structible nature of eft exper•
ience, act, and aspect of our life.
For that which has been, is, since
the past knows no change and no
corruption, but lives eternally in its
frozen and completed self.
These are somewhat large words
tb be born of small matter, but they
upspontaneouslyin the
rose mind
of a soldierly -looking man who was
leaning, on the particular evening
when this history opens, over agate
in an Eastern country lane, staring
vacantly at a ripe field of corn.
'He was a peculiar and rather bat-
tered looking individual, apparently
over forty years of age, and yet
bearing upon hire that unmistakable
stamp of dignity and self-respect
which, if it dogs not exclusively he -
long to,is yet one of the distinguish-
ing attributes'of the English gentle-
man. In face he was ug'y,no other
word can express it. Here were
not the long mustache, the almond
eyes, the aristocratic air of the
colonel of fiction—for our dreamer
was a colonel. There were—alas !
that the truth should be so plain—
represented by rather scrubby,sandy
colored whiskers, small but rather
kindly blue eyes, a low broad fore-
head, with' a deep line running
across it from side to sido,something
like that to bo seen upon the bust of
Julius Caesar, and a long thin nose.
Ono good feature, however, he did
possess, a mouth clench sweetness
and beauty, that,set,as it was,above
a very square and manly -looking
chin, it had the air of being ludic-
rously out of place. "Umph," said
his old aunt, Mrs Massey, (who had
just died and left him what she had),
op the occasion of her first,gin•tro-
dnction to him five and thirty years
before, "i'mph ! Nature meant to

the mouth- Well, nexbii;rn id-f,bet-
ter be .* jdai:n: pian than at' jfldtty
woman. were, go..glong,boy,l like
four ugly faou."
Nor was tins old lady peculiar in
this respect; for plain as tba, coun-
tenance of Colonel Quaritch un-
doabtediy was,,people found some-
thing very taking about it, when
once they got used to its rugged• air
and stern regulated expression.
What that something was it would
be hard to define, but perhaps the
nearest approach to the truth would
be to describe it as a light of purity
which, notwithstanding the popular
idea to the contrary, is to be found
quite as often upon the faces of
men as upon those of women. Any
person of discernment in looking at
Colonel Quaritch must have felt
that he was in the presence of a good
man, not a prude or a milksop, but
a man who had attained to virtue
by thought and struggle that had
left their mark upon his face, a man
whom it would not be well to tam-
per with, and one to be respected
by, all,., and, feared o evihdoers.
)V
ten felt this, and 11e was popular
among those who knew him in his
service, though not in any hail -fel-
low -well -met kind of way. But
among women he was not popular.
As a rule they both feared and dis-
liked him His presence jarred
upon the frivolity of the lighter
members of their sex, who dimly re-
alized that his nature was antagonis-
tic, and the more solid ones could
not understand him. Perhaps this
wasthe reason why Colonel Quaritch
had never married, and never even
had a love affair since lie was
five -and -twenty.
And yet it was of a woman's face
that he was thinking as he leaned
over the gate and looked at the field
of yellowing corn, ugdulating like a
golden sea beneath the pressure of
the wind.
Colonel Quaritch had twice in his
life been at Honham before the pre-
sent time, when he had cone to
abide there for good and all, once
ten, and once five years ago. His
old aunt. Mrs Massey, bad a place
in the village—a very small place—
called Honham Cottage,or Molehill,
and he had on those two occasions
been down to stay with her. Now,
Mrs Massey was dead and buried,
and had left him the property, and
he bad give nup his profession, in
which he had no further prospects,
and come to live at Honham. This
was his first evening in the place,
for he arrived by the last train on
the previous night. All day lie had
been trying to get the house a little
straight, and now, thoroughly tired
of the task, he was refreshing him-
self by leaning over a gate. It is,
though a great many people will
not believe it, one of the most de-
lightful refreshments in the world.
And then it was, as he leaned
over the gate, that the image of a
woman's face rose before his mind
as It had been continually rising for
the last five years. It was five
years since he had seen it,and these
five years he had speot in India and
Egypt, that is, with the exception
of six months which he had passed
in a hospital, as the result of an
Arab spear thrust in the thigh. It
bad risen before him in all sorts of
places and at ali sorts of times—in
his sleep, in his waking moments,at
mess, out shooting, and even once
in the bot rush of battle. He re.
Membered it well -it was at.El'Teb.
It happened that stern necessity
.forced him to shoot a man with bis
pistol. The bullet cut into'the spine
of his enemy, and with a few, con-
vulsions Ire died. He watched him
die, he could not help doing so,th ro
was some fascination in following
the act of his own hand to its dread-
ful conclusion,and indeed conclusion
and commencement was very near
oxone'etrt l rtt?l't'"6i'°GrAti a tifryG£
thestai rorsuf h -r- --
own life he had been forced to do,
revolted him even in the heat of
the fight, and then, even then, over
that ghastly, agony -distorted face,.
another face bad spread itself like a.
maskg it out b from view—
that woman's face. And now again
it re -arose, inspiring him with the
rather recondite reflections as to the
immutability of things and impres-
sions with which this domestic re-
cord opens.
Five years is a good stretch in a
man's journey through the world.
Many things happen to us in that
time, If a thoughtful man were to
sot to work to record all the im-
pressions that impinge upon his
mind during that period, he would
fill a libri ry with volumes, the mere
tale eft' its events would furnish a
shelf. And yet bow small they are
to look back upon. It seemed but
the other day that be had been lean-
ing over this very gate, and had
turned to see a young girl dressed
in black,witb aspray of honeysuckle
stuck in her girdl and a stick in
her hand, walking leisurely down
the lane. Thorn was something
about the girl's air that had struck
him while she was yet a long way
off-- a dignity and a grace, and a set
of the shoulders, and then as she
came nesrer be saw the soft dark
oyes and the waving brown hair
that contrasted so strangely and ef-
fectively with the pato and striking
face. It was not a beautiful face,
for the mouth was too large, and
the nose was not as straight as it
might have been, but there wash
power about the broad prow, and.a
far cc and solid nobility stamped up-
on the features which had itnpressed
him strangely. Just as a e arrived
opposite to where he was Staticling,
a gust of wind, for there was a stiff
breeze,. had Lucia n the 14eadeit httt:p$;
' t king. t rikbt over tLe,liedge,':apd
he, Olio duty:bound, b$ ',¢or uiMMtled
,ince, the field And retohpd it for ber,
,a4,1bn bad thanked 'Km with a
qq ok cradle and a lighting up.. of
the brown eyes, and then passed on
with a bow.
Yes, with a little bow she had
passed on, and he had watched her
departing down the long level drift,
till she melted into the stormy sun-
set light, and was gone. When
he returned to the cottage he find
described her to his old aunt, and
asked who she might be, to learn
that her name was Ida de la Molle,
which sounded like a name out of
a novel, the only daughter of the old
squire who lived at Honham Castle.
And then next day he bad departed
to India, and saw 1Jiss de la Molla
no more.
And now he wondered what had
become of her. Probably she was
married; so striking a person would
be almost sure to attract the notice
of men. And, after all, what could
it Matter to him. He was not a
marrying man,and women as a class
bad -little attraction for hinr; indeed
he disliked them. It had been said
that he had never- married,, and
never even had a love affair since
he was five-and-twe ty,and this was
true enough. But though he was
not married, he once, before he was
five-and-tiwenty, had very nearly
taken that step. It was twenty
years ago now, .,and nobody quite
knew the history, for in twenty
years many things are fortnnately
forgotten. But there was a history,
and a scandal, and the marriage
was broken off almost on the very
day before it was to have taken
place. And after that it leaked out
in the neighborhood—it' was in
Essex, near Romford— that the
young lady, who by the way was a
large heiress, bad gene off her head,
presumably .with grief, and been
confined In an asylum, where she
was presumed still to remain.
