'!'hero was an air of neatness and order about the room that Hen- etwn had never seen before. The dust and dirt had absolutely vanished; it might have been the home of any ordinary %%cantly anti refined people. And all Lady lettimer's rags and pinches had disappeared. Sho was dressed in sonee•ww'hat old-fashioned style, but hundsui0cly aid well. She sat beside Littimer with a smile on her face. But the cloud seemed to have rolled from her mind; her eyes were clear, if a little frightened. From the glance that passed be- tween Littimer and herself it. was easy to see tint the misunderstand- ing was no more. "You nre surprised to see mo here?" said Littimer. Henson ,tuninered something and shrank towards the door. Littimer urdercel him back again. lie carne, with a slinking, dogged air; he avoided the smiling contempt in Isnid's eyes. " M t presence appears to bo super- fluous," he said, bitterly. "And mine appears to bo a sur- prise," Liltinter replied. "Come, aro you not glad to see me, lay heir and successor?

It was good, n( - ter tell, to defeat and huokwiik the rascal, "Miss Chris Menson," ile said. "It never occurred to you that 'Miss Chris and Miss 1.('o were one and the stone person.

Ah. you should have seen your face when you saw the stolen Rembrandt back again in its place. And after that you were mad enough to think that 1 trusted y(u. My dear, what shall we do with this pretty fel- low?" Lady Littimer shook her head doubtfully. It was plain that the presence of 1101101)11 disturbed her. There was just a suggestion of the old madness in her eyes. "Send hint away," sho said. "Let Ititn go." "Send hien away her all means," Litnser went on. "11ut letting hint go is another matter. If we do tho police will pick him up on other charges. There is a certain console- tioe in knowing that his evil career is likely to be shortened by some years. But I shall have no mercy. Scotland Yard shall know every- thing." There was r. cold ring in Littimer's voice that told Menson of his deter- mination to carry out his threat. '1'li other troubles he might wriggle out of, but this one was terribly real. It was time to try concilia- tion "It will be a terrible scandal for the family, Illy lord," he wheier!. Littimer rose to his feet. A sud- den tomer flared into his eyes. He was a smaller num than Menson, but the latter cowed before hila. "You clog!" ho cried. "What greater scandal than that of the past few years? Docs not all the world know that there is, or has been, some heavy cloud over the family honor? Lord and Lady Lit - timer have parted, and her ladyship has gone away. That is only part of what the e 6 o. n e l s have said. And in these domestics differences it is always the woman who suffers.
