Daisy was 'a woman of perpoee; she

ly quite forgotten. he had no idett
what a fair and attractive picture she
made, as she sat withee far-off gaze itt.
her beautiful eyes, as indiffement to ail
entward events and mutters as though
she had no share in them. She went
where she was told quite mechanic -.141y;
she asked few questions, spoke few
words. She looked almost like a wo-
man whose heart and soul had traveled
before her, and whose body was trying
to overtake...them. She reached London
at night, and slept at the hotel. nearest
the station -slept well and soundly, for
Daisy, as a rule, had " almost perfect
health; one part of her anxiety was
over, she had reached London safely,
and it seemed to her that the n Af
of her errand was accomplished.
Thee'when moraine came, Daisy
woke strong and resolnte, ready t ) be-
gin her. task at once. She took her
breakfast then dressed herself pktinly
in 'black, hiding the heir freshness of
her face witit. a veil, and started for
the Meesrs. Cooper.
Daisy had never known much of life
in London. She was (pate ignorant;
and, in common with ninny ceentey
peeele, she imagined iithavies In to be
a large hotel; it must be a respectable
one, she the -tight, if lawyers like the
Measrs. Cooper live there. Daisy walk-
ed from the hotel to the nearest eab
stand, ited looked with owe ut tbe
dignified gentleman who answered to
the name of Gabby.
"Where to, miss?" asked that mighty
• official, touching his hat.
„ Daisy raised her sweet, sad, and wet
eyes to his face.
"Do you know a hotel celled Thavies
hut?" she asked.
A broad grin was the first reply, then
a chuckle; after that the. man asked if
he might make bold enough to inquire
whom she wanted there; and Daisy told
him. Then he entered iato an explana-
tion, :mid told her Thaives Inn was
not a hotel, but a block of buildings
chiefly used by professional men:
"It is strange," said Daisy, "that it
should be called an inn!"
It would have been stranger still if,
after that, Daisy had not been a vici
tim. The cabman evidently thought
such prey must have been sent for a
lawful purpose, and he smiled benignly
ap he asked exactly five times the are.
Perhaps his conscienee-always provid-
ed that cabmen hohe a conscience -was
touched when Daisy unhesitatingly
placed the fare in his hands -and thank-
ed hint for his kindness. He even

"Yin can doequite as well," she said;
"Zesesvcrt to know Mr. Clifton's ad -
"Mr. Clifton?" repeated the clerk; "I
do not remember the mune. Ts 'he em-
ployed there, or is rhe—"
Daisy interrupted biro. .
"No," she treptied; "Messrs. Cooper
are leis soileitors.
"They are solicitors for a great many
people," replied the clerk, gravely; "hut
I doubt if they know the address of one
half taleir clients."
"But &le is different," said Daisy,
eagerly; "Mr. Clifton is not a client in
that sense of the word -at least I think
not; I hare never heard thim speak of
business, but Messrs. Cooper manage
all his afeahs-so he told me."
"Cler firm are agents for many old
courtly families," said the clerk; "they
are selicit,ors of long standing, but I
really do not remember that name."
"I am sure that 1 am right," said
Daiey. "1 have the address -Messrs.
Oooper, Merles Inn. All letters are
sent there."
The clerk looked puzzled.
"I have a good memory," he said,
"and really the name is strange to me."
"Will you speak to Mr. Cooper," said
Daisy; "1 will wait."
The clerk bowed, placed a chair and
retired. Daisy sat down. Nearly an
hour passed before Daisy was able to
see Mr. Cooper. Then she was shown
into a small room, where an elderly
gentleman sat before a large table, that
was covered with papers. He looked up
in surtrise as this fair, sweet-taced
wemen stood before him.
He welted for Deasy to speak. She
asked the same question:
"Would you be pleased to give her
Mr. Clifton's address?"
He referred to a ledger that lay neae
him.
"Clifton!" he repented, slowly. "We
have mit such a name on our books."
But Daisy persisted.
"I assure you," she said, "that you
have; you haye the charge of this af-
fairs; he told me so, and his letters are
sent heze, I ktiow; I have sent soree
myself."
It did not occur to MT. Cooper just at
the moment that Sir Clinton Adair had
received sevenal letters addresserl to
Mr. Clifton; even bed he remembered
e fact. the astute lawyer would not
hare owned it; but he did not remember
it, and stoutly denied that the name of
Calftoe was known in the offices.
"You must be mistaken," he said to
Daisy.
"How can I be mistaken, when he
is--" "My own husband" she was
ithent to add, but she checked herself;
better, perhaps, net to say that. There
was evidently a mystery or why did
the lawyee not recognize the name?"
"Clifton?" repented Mr. Cooper, "the
T an' seems in some way familiar to
nee hut we certainly do no business
for env one who betere it."
Steldenly it occurred to Daley that it
was just possible her husband had as-
sumed the name. She had no reason fort

This was assureday Che office, and, if

their names? As a rule, it was bemuse

Had she discovered the mystery? -
had she solved it? Was this the caus�
of his brooding in silence, of his con -

this the reason that he refused to know
people, and preferred the solitude of the
bills? Had he done some wrong for
which he could be punished? Abe Hea-
ven farbid, if that be the case, that
she should be the one to betray him -
Heaven forbid! Daisy's heart beat fast;
she said to herself that she was on
the brink of a discomy at last. This
was the mystery, and no word of hers
should betray him -not one single word!

pelled to auswer him.
"I am not ill; but I am not -used to
London; it frightens me -the poise, the
bustle, the glen. I am confused."
Then she heard footsteps, and she
knew that her husband was leaving the
place.
"I will call agate," she said, in a
half -stifled 'voice. "I must go now."
And lust as she reached the door she
saw her husband pass through it and
disappear.
CHAPTER LX1. •Fr"
oxe-erair OT THE MYSTHRT.
Daisy was certain of his identity; die
would have known his face anywhere -
the hendstane, high -bred face, with the
beautiful eyes and mouth. At first it
seemed to her that the shock was so
great she must teal to the ground; then
she steadied herself. After all, why
need she be afraid? -why be astoniehed
at finding him there? It was oely to be
expected. She went to the civil young
clerk who had epolten to her on her first
entrance, and, tryi-ng to assume a non-
chalant air, saki:
"Who is that gentlemam-tbe one who
has just passed out? You opened the
door for him."
The clerk looked at her, evideatly
puzzled as to whether he ought to an-
swer the question or not.'
"1 know him." she continued, in a,
careless tone, "'hut I cannot recall his
name."
The clerk was quite saitsfied.
"It is Sir Clinton Adair," he relied.
Again the iron hand seemed to cleneh
her heart and hold it still; nothing but
Iter sense of whet was at stake kept
her from betraying herself. She con-
tinued to repeat it in a voice ever more
careless:
"Sir Clinton Adair!" she said. "Ali,
yes; I had forgotten."
Then she passed out; it seemed to her
that she must have fresh air or she
should die. She went ont into the
crowded streets. The throng of people,
the noises of carts, drays, cabs, omni-
buses, the cries of the street venders,
all confused her; her heart lend brain
seemed to be on fire. She walked on
a few steps then stood quite still, look -
leg round her with a bewildered nar.
A gentleman teaming by noticed it, and
looked pityingly at the fair woman,
dressed in deep black, who was evident-
ly lost in the crowd. He touched kis
hat, and sooke to her.
"Are you looking for a cab?" he ask-
ed, gravely.
"Yee," she replied; and he, seeing
the deeamy, bewildered expression of
her face, said to himself there was
something wrong.
He stood by her side in silence until
the cab he had signaled for clime up.
Then 32e bold the door open while She
entered.
"Thank you," said Daisy; "you are
very good."
"1 fancted yon had lest your way,"
he 'replied; "and that is a very serious
thing to do in London. Where ehell
I tell the man to drive to?"
Again he was startled at the innocent,
helpless, bewildered look.
"I am in great trouble," said Daisy,
"and I want to go to a quiet plate --
some place 'where 1 ean think. These
streets confuse me."
"Drive to the peek," said the gentle-
man. Then, with a low bow, he dis-
appeared; but more than once 'that day
he spoke of the ilair, graceful women
he had met in the crowded street.
At last she was aletne, with the blue
sky- above her, and the sweet, fragrant
air refreshing her -alone in the green,
undulating park, where the tall trees
were budding into fresh life, and she
had time to think. She saw chairs be-
neath the trees, and she sat down on
one to Test She drew a long sigh
Of relief -n deep sigh, that was almost
a moan.
So she had found out oneilealf of the
mystery at last-eher husband was not
Mr. Clifton; he was Sir Clinton Adair.
Why had he assumed that name? For
what purpose? -to what end?
Her thoughts went back to the place
and the hour when she had first heerd
it, She remembered heeding over bim,
atnd asking hem this name; he had meet
eertainly answered, "Mr. Clifton." She
chuld not have ben mistaken, and, it she
were mistakett why did he not eamreet
her? He always called himself Clifton;
she had lenowe no other .nitme since her
marriage than Mrs. Clifton; he bed
given, her that addrese for her letters;
there was no mietalte about it; and
after all, it was not hie own name.
Why had he its -evened it? Not -oh,
Herivena-nueely not to deceive her, He
hind married iher of hisown free will,
foul they were safely, legalle, properly
merited. It could not have been from
any motive eonnected with leer -why
was it?

Daisy looked at the storekeeper evtut

she inquired of him if he knew where

"Yes," he knew; "it was one of tan*
large manstionss facing Hyde Perk, to
