But he knew that Lambert was muscular and dexterous, and would probably break his neck if it game to a tussle, Therefore, as the stout little lord had a great regard for his neck, he judged it beat to yield to superior force, and trotted along obediently enough. Also he be- came aware within himself that it would be necessary to explain to Sil- ver how he had come to betray him, and that would not be easy. Silver would be certain to make himself ex- tremely disagreeable. Altogether the walk was not a pleasant one for the sybarite. The Abbott's Wood looked bare and lean with the leaves stripped from its many trees, Occasionally there was a fir, clothed in dark green foli- age. but for the most part the braneh- es of the trees were naked, and quiv- ered constantly in the chilly breeze. Even on the outskirts of the wood one could see right into the centre where the black monoliths—they looked black against the snow—rear- D. H.

On such a day it was easy both to see and hear for long distances, and for this reason Chal- dea became aware that the two men were walking toward the cottage. The girl, desperately angry that she had been unable to bring Lam- bert to book, had sauntered back to camp, but had just reached it when she caught sight of the tall figure and the short one. In a moment she knew that Lambert and his cousin were making for Silver's abode, which was just what she had expected them to do. At once she determined to again adopt her former tactics, which had been successful in enabling her to overhear the conversation between Lambert and Lady Agnes, and fol- lowing at a respectful distance, she waited her chance. It carne when the pair entered the cottage, for then Chaldea ran swiftly in a circle to- ward the monoliths, and crouched down behind one. While peering from behind this shelter, she saw Sil- ver pass the window of the studio, and felt certain that the interview would take place in that room. Like a serpent, as she was, the girl crawl- ed and wriggled though the frozen vegetation and finally managed to get under the window without being ob- served. The window was closed, but by pressing her ear close to the woodwork she was enabled to hear a great deal, if not all. Candidly speaking, Chaldea had truly believed that Lambert had shot Pine. but now that he had disproved the charge so easily. she became desperately anx- ious to learn the truth. Lambert had eseapcd her, but site thought that it night be possible to fmplicate his wife in the crime, which would serve her purpose of injuring 11in1 just as \veli. silver was not surprised to sec his ht11L lord, as it seemed that Garving- ton paid him frequent. visits.

"You have conte to look at your old house, Mr. Lambert," he remarked. when the two made themselves coot• rateable by the studio fire, "Not at all, I have tame to res yon." was the grim response. "That is en unexpected honor'." said Silver uneasily, and his eyes caught those of Lord Garvington. who was spreading ant his hands to the blaze. looking blue with cold.

When he (lid, it was with a sickly. smile, "Whatever are you talking about, my lord?" "Oh, you know, d— you! I did give you that revolver, you know," "The revolver?" Silver stared. "Yes, why should I deny ft? I sup- pose you have come to get it back?" "I have come to get it, Mr. Silver'," put in Lambert politely, "Hand it Over to me, if you please." "If you like. It certainly has your name on the handle," said the secre- tary so quietly that the other man was puzzled. Silver did not seem to be so uncomfortable as he night have been. "The revolver was one of a pail' which I had especially made when I went to Africa some years ago," ex- plained Lambert elaborately, and de- termined to make his listener under- stand the situation thoroughly. "On my return I made them a present to my cousin. I understand, Mr. Silver that Lord Garvington lent you one—" "And kept the other," interrupted the man sharply, "That is true.

The life of this little child may depend on the PROMPT ACTION of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Centralized here under one roof is every facility known to medical science for the effective prevention and cure of childhood disease and deformity. More than 9.000 little children were treated here last year. ONE-THIRD of these children came from Ontario Municipalities outside the City of Toronto. Most of them were children of parents unable to pay the low Public Ward rates. But they were not denied any treatment or care that would assist in their recovery. This humane policy resulted in a deficit of $90,000 last year. We appeal to responsible, charitable Ontario citizens for donations to help us meet this deficit and for practical encourage- ment to continue and expand this work next year.

Garvington was always talking about them, so I asked hitn to lend me a. weapon to defend myself wltlt, "And you used it to shoot Pine," strapped Garvington, anxious to enc] hie snspeuse and get the interview, over as speedily as possible. Silver rose froth his seat: in an mnemonic manner, and turned deli- ea.tely pale. 'Are you mad?" he. gasped, looping from arts man to the other. "It's all very well you talking." whimpered Garvington with a shiver; "but Pine was shot with that revolver 1 lent you." "It's a lie!" "Ctrl, t knew you'd say that," com- plained Garvington, shivering again. "But I warned you that there might be trouble, since you carried that let- ter for me, so that it night tall by chance into .Pine's hands." • "Aught" groaned Silver; sinking back into bis chair and passing his tongue over a pair of dry. gray lips. "Hold your tongue, my lord." "What's the use? He knows," and Garvington jerked his head in the direction of his cousin, "The gamtes up. Silver --the game's up!" "Oh " Silver's eyes flashed, and he looked like a rat at bay. "So you intend to save yourself at my ex- pense. But itwon't do, nay lord, You wrote that letter, if I carried it to the camp." "I have admitted to my sister and to Lambert, here, that I wrote the let- ter, Silver. I had to, or get into trouble with the police, since neither of them will listen to reason. But you suggested the plan to get. Pine winged so that he might be ill in my house, and then we could both get money out of him. 'You invented the plot, and I only wrote the letter," "Augh! Augh!" gulped Silver, un- able to speak plainly, "Do you confess the truth of Lord Garvington's statement?" inquired Lambert sauvely, and fixing a merci- less eye on the trapped fox. "No that is—yes. He swings on the same hook as I do." "Indeed. Then Lord Garvington was aware that you shot Pine?" "I was not! I was not!" screamed the head of the Lambert family, jumping up and clenching his hands.
