The next day passed, and the next;
and then there came a letter. It was
from Loristan,' and Macao turned pale
when Lazarus handed it to him. La-
zarus and The stat went out of the
room at once, and left hint to read
it alone. It was evidently not a long
letter, because it was -not many min-
utes before Marco called them again
into, the room.
"In a few days, ,messengers —
friends of my father's—will come to
take us to Samavia. You and 'I and
Lazarus are to go," he said to The
Rat.
"God be thanked!" said Lazarus.
"God be thanked!"
Before the messengers came, it was
the end of the week. Lazarus had
packed' their few belongings, and on
Saturday Mrs. Beedle was to' be seen
hovering at the top of the cellar
steles, when Marco and The Rat left
the back sitting -room to go out.
"You needn't glare at me!" she said
to Lazarus, who stood glowering at
the door which he had opened for
them. "Young Master Loristan, I
want to know, if you've heard when
your father is coming back?"
"He will not come back," said Mar-
co.
"He won't, won't he? Well, how
about next week's rent?" said -Mrs.
Beedle. "Your man's been packing
up, I notice. He's not got much to
carry away, but it won't pass through
that front door until I've got what's
owing me. People thatcan pack
easy think they can get away easy,
and they'll bear watching. The,
week's up to -day."
Lazarus wheeled and faced her
with a furious gesture. "Get back
to your cellar, woman," he command-
ed. "Get back under ground and stay
there. Look at what is stopping be-
fore your miserable gate." l
A carriage was stopping-- a very
perfect carriage of dark brown. The
coachman and footman wore dark
brown and gold liveries, and the
footman had leaped down and open-
ed the door with respectful alacrity.
"They are friends of the Master's
come to pay their respects to his
son," said Lazarus. "Are their eyes
to be offended by the sight of you?"
"Your money is safe," said Marco.
"You had better leave us."
Mrs. Beedle gave a sharp glance
at the two gentlemen who had en-
tered the broken gate. They were
of an order which did not belong to
Philibert Place. They looked as if
the carriage and the dark brown and
gold liveries were every -day affairs
to then.
"At all events, they're two grown
men, and not two boys without a pen-
ny," she said. "If they're your fath-
er's friends; they'll tell me whether
my rent's safe or not."
The two visitors were upon the
threshold. They were both men of a
certain self-contained dignity' of type;
and when Lazarus opened wide the
door, they stepped into the shabby
entrance hall as if they did not see
it. They looked past its dinginess,
and past Lazarus, and, The Rat, and
Mrs. Beadle—through them, asit

He advanced towards them at once.
"You come from my father!" he
said, and gave, his hand first to the
older man, then to the younger,
"Yes, we cone from your father. I
am Baron Rastka—this is the Count
Vorversk," said the elder man, bow-
ing.
"1f they're barons and counts, and
friends of your' father's, they are
well-to-do enough to be responsible
for you," said Mrs. Beedle, rather
fiercely, because she was somewhat
over -awed and resented the fact. "It's Tuclfersmith

YOUR NAME IN
MONDAY'S PAPERS!
Will your name appear in Monday's newspapers? If it does, will you
be writhing with pain in the emergency ward of a hospital, will. your
mangled remains be resting in a funeral parlor—or will you be held by
the Police on a charge of manslaughter?
If you are a motorist and value life and property, help to stop this
slaughter of innocent' people. The death toll from car accidents in
Ontario must go down!
We are justly proud of the Police of this Province—but they cannot
be everywhere. Most accidents occur when a policeman is not around.
Traic violators know better than to speed, cut in or crowd other cars
with a policeman in sight.
Ontario „•Motto#ists will Co-operate
When you see a motorist. driving in a manner dangerous to,
the public, take his number, make et careful note of the actual
time and place and when you reach yaw destination write to
the Motor Vehicles .Branch, Department of Highways,
Toronto, giving full details. We do not invite reports of minor
infringements of the traffic laws; you are requested to use
sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders.
