"I arranged that, my lord, since the forged letter made so free with your lordship's name and that of the present Lord Garvington, As you probably saw, it was only stated that the late Sir Hubert had gone to meet his secretary at The Manor and that Miss Greeby, know- ing of his coating, had shot him. The motive was ascribed as anger at the late Sir Hubert for having lost 0 great auto of money which Miss Greeby entrusted to him for the pur- pose of speculation." "And is it true that such money was entrusted and lost?" "Perfectly true, my lord. I saw in that fact a chance of hiding the real truth. It would do no good to make the forged tetter public and would east discredit both on the dead and the living. Therefore all that Inas been said does not even hint at the trap laid by Silver. Now that all parties concerned are dead and burled, no more will be heard of the natter, and your lordship can sleep in peace." The young man walked up and down the room for a few minutes while the inspector made ready to de- part. Noel was deeply touched 11y the man's consideration and made up his mind that he should not lose by the delicacy he had shown in preserving his name and that of Agnes from the tongue of gossips. He saw plainly that Darby was a man he could thor- oughly trust and forthwith did so. "Mr. inspector," he said. coming forward to shake bands, "you have acted in a most kind and generous manner and I cannot slum my ap- preciation of your behavior more than by telling you the exact truth of this sad affair." "I know the truth," said harby staring. "Not the exact truth. which closely concerns the honor of my family, 13th as you have saved that by suppressing certain evidence it is only right that you should know more than you do know." "I shall keep quiet anything that you tell me, my 1ord." said Darby greatly pleased; "that is, anything that is consistent with my official duty." "Of course. Also I wish you to know exactly how matters stand. since there may be trouble with Chaldea." "Oh. 1 don't think so. my lord. Chal- dea has married that dwarf." "Kara. the Servian gypsy?" "Yes. She's given him a bad time. and he put up with it because he had no authority over her: but now that she's his romi—as these people call a wife—he'll make her dance to his playing. They left England yesterday for foreign parts—Hungary, I fancy, my lord. The girl won't ccome bark in a hurry. for Kara will keep to eye on her." Lambert drew a long breath of re- lief. "I ana glad," he said simply. "as I never should have felt safe while elm remained in England." "Felt safe?" echoed the officer sus- piciously. His host nodded and told the man to take a seat again. Then. without wasting further time, he related the real truth about the forged letter, Darby Iisened to the recital 111 amazement and shook his head sadly over the delinquency of the late Lord Carrington. "Well! Well!" said the inspector staring, "to think as a nobleman bora and bred should act in this way," "Why shouldn't a noblemen be wicked as well as the tradesman?" said Lambert impatiently, "and ac• c'm'dlug to the socialistic press all the evil of humanity is to be found in aristocratic circles. However, you know the exact truth, Mr. Inspeetor. and I have confided to you the secret which concerns the honor of 101' fans ily. You won't abuse my confidence." Darby rose and extended his hand, "You may be sure of teat, my lord, What you have told me will never be repeated. Everything in connection with tilts platter is finished, and you will hear no more about -it." "I'm glad and thankful," said the other, again drawing a breath of re- lief, "and to show my appreciation of your services, 17arby. I shall send you a substantial check," "Oh, my 10rd. I cotldu't take it. 1 only did my duty." "I think You did a great deal more than that," answered the new Loral Garvington dryly, "and had you acted entirely on the eviden'e you gathered together, and especially on the con- fession ofthatmiserable woman, you might have made public much that 1 would prefer to keep private. 'Fake the money front a friend. Darby, and se a mark of esteem for a man." "Thank you, my lord." replied the inspector straightly. "I don't deny but what 01y conscience aid my duty to the Government will allow 111e to take it slime you put it in that way. And las- 1 am not. 11 rich titan the melte)* will bo w'eleome. Thank you."

The young plan regretted the death of Mother Cockle- shell, who had been so well disposed toward his wife and himself, but he rejoiced that Chaldea had left Eng• land under the guardianship of Kara. as henceforth-- if he knew anything of the dwarf's jealous disposition -- the girl would trouble him no more. And Silver was dead and buried. which slid away with any possible trouble from that quarter. Finally. poor Miss Greeby, who had sinned for love, was out of the way and there was no need to be anxious on her account. Fate had made a clean sweep of all the actors in the tragedy. and Lambert hoped that this particular play was ended. When the inspector went away. Lord Garvington sought out his wife and his late cousin's widow. To them he remote 11811 that had passed and gave them the joyful assurance that nothing more would be heard in eon - D. H.

The End uectinn with the late tragic events Both ladies were delighted. "Poor Freddy." sighed Agnes, who had quite forgiven her brother now that he had paid for his sins, "he be- haved very badly; all the same he had his good 50ithts, Noel," "Alt, he had, he had," said Lady Gals vington, the widow, shaking her un- tidy head, "he was selfish and greedy, and perhaps not so lttought-ful as be plight have been, bet there are worse people than poor Freddy:" Noel could not help smiling at this somewhat guarded eulogy of the dead but did not pursue the subject, "Well, Jane, you must not grieve too much:' "No, I shall not," she admitted bluntly, "I ant -going to be quiet for a few months and then perhaps 1 may marry again.

Lady Oarviugton evidently really felt relieved by the - death of her greedy little husband, although she tried iter best to appeal' S0i'ry. But the twinkle of relief in her eyes be- trayedher, and neither Noel nor Agues could blame her. She had enough to live on --since the new lord bad arranged this in a most generous manner—and she was free from the cares of the kitchen. "So iel go to London in a few days when I've packed up," said the widow nodding, "you two dears can stay here for your secoud honeymoon." "It willbe concerned with pounds, shillings, and pence, then," said Ag- nes with a smile, "for Noel has to get the estate put in order, Things are very bad just now, as 1 know for certain, But we must try to save The Manor from going out of the family." 1t was at this moment, and while the trio wondered how the financial condition of the Lamberts was to be improved. that a message carne saying that Mr. Jarwin wished to see Lord and Ludy Garvington in the library.

They found the lean, dry solicitor waiting for them with a smiling face, "010" said Agnes as she greeted him, "then it's not bad pew's?'' "On lee contrary," said Jarwin, with his cough, "it is the best of news." Noel looped at 11in1 hard. "The best of news to me at the present nue meat would be information about money," he said slowly. "I have a title, it is true, but the estate is en- cuntbered." "You need not trouble about that. Lord Garvington; Mrs. Stanley has put all that right." "What?" asked Agnes greatly agi- tated. "Has she made over the mort- gages to Noel? Oh, if she only has." "She has done better than that," remarked Jarwin. producing a paper of no great size. "this is her will. She wanted to make a deed of gift, and probably would have done so had she lived. But luckily she made the will— aud a hard-and-fast one It Is—for I drew it up myself," said sir. Jarwin complacently.
