Lightly touching on his last night's visit to "the house at the corner," he took occasion to refer to the persons he had met there—to Dennis Donovan and to Ralph Kestrel. Ha 1 there was a weak point in the armour, or his obser- vation erred. Mrs. Dundas, at the men- tion of Kestrel's 'namo, had suddenly left the apartment without apology or apparent cause. Captain Dundee professed that neither of these persons was known to him, but the wife, Laura Kingdon's confidante, clearly did not want to be questioned concerning one of then. Chester was satisfied for the moment, and reserved his next attack for Laura herself. As he glanced at a paragraph in the evening paper, he felt that he had a strong weapon in his hands. Tho Captain suggested that Laura should sing for the company, a proposal which Lord Willmore ardently backed. "Tune up, my little nightingale!" cried Dundas. "Ever heard her sing, sir?
