seemed to have gained a sudden strength.

ward the door; then his eyes eeemed
drawn toward her unwillingly,
"I -I suppose you have counted the
cost of --of this rupture of our engage-
ment?" he stammered. "You don't forget
that your father owes me a large sum of
money? Perhaps your brother -your pre-
cious brother," he sneered -"has made the
consequence pretty plain to yon?"
She looked at him as if she were try -
to attend, to understand.
"I see you do," he said. "Well, of
course, I stand by my word, and I ex-
ppeot you to stand by yours. I undertook,
in the event of your marrying me. to take
over, your father's liabilities and to pro-
vide for your brother. As the marriage
is off -as you break the engagement, and
and insult me by the statement you

for she had on her outdoor things.

regret at his death. He might have end-

Mr. Lang assented with a gesture,
"I've written to young Lord Naseby; the
next heir --Lord Gaunt, I suppose he is
now;• but I'm doubtful whether my letter
willreach him. What a eiugular thing
it ie, the love of travel and 'wandering
running through the family! Oh -and,
Lana, that fellow, Thorpe, has been here
again to -day!"
"Oh! what did you do?"
"Well, I'm afraid it was weak," replied
the senior partner, apologetically, "but I
advanced him some mousy to take him
`out of the country."
1rou, did?"
"Well, yes. You eee, if Lord Gaunt -I
mean our Gonne-should turn :up, • but

Gaunt will be glad to' get rid of the fel-
low. He has speut the time eineo the in-
quest going the round of any of the clubs
that would admit him, and telling the
story of his and.. his sister's wrongs."
In exchange for free -drinks, I sup-
pose?" said Mr. Lang.
Er -yes. So I gave him enough to take
him to Monte Carlo."
Where it is to bo hoped, he will re-
main," remarked Mr. Lang.
Mr. Belford indorsed the last letter, rose
with a eigh,, and tookhis overcoat from
the peg behind the door.
"Did you eeo Mr. Gileby?" be inquired,
with an accent on the name whish Mr.
Gileby ' would not haveenjoyed hearing.
"Yes.Mr. Lang smiled. I never saw
before in my whole life a man sorry at
receiving money. And Mr. Gileby was
very sorry; there is no doubt of that. It
is evident that that man Mershon was
bent upon ruining the Deanes."
Mr. Belford shrugged his shoulders with
a little weary gesture. Ile had had a hard
day. and any reference .to Lord Gaunt's
affairs reminded him of the trouble and
anxiety the murder in Prince's Mansions
had caused him.
"The whole *affair is a mystery." he
said: "but it is very evident that Mr.
Mershon hated poor Lord Gaunt:"
"And, of oouree, the young lady, Mise
Deane, was the reason," said Mr. Lang.
"There are your gloves, on that deed

Oh,' thanks. thanks! I feel so worried
-are you ready? If eo, I'll turn out the
gas.
He had his hand on the key, when they
both heard a etep on the stairs. All the
clerks had gone, and the two principals
were alone in the office.
"Now, who can that be?" said Mr. Bel-
ford, testily. Whoever it is I shall not
stay. We shall lose our train."
1 The footsteps stopped outside the door
and there came a knock.
"Open the door, Lang, and tell them that
we eau not stay," said Mr. Belford.
i Mr. Lang opened the door. Then he ut
teras an exclamation and fell back;. and
Gaunt walked in.

and it rolled unheeded to the floor.
"Lord Gaunt!" he gaeped, and be stared

"How doyou do, Mr. Belford?" said.
Gaunt, quietly -very quietly, with that
soli-peeseetion and sang-froid .which had
often astonished his ,le aI advisers and
not seldom puzzled and annoyed them.
How. do you do, Mr. Lang? I am afraid
I am late."
"Good gracious, my lord, de you know
-when did you come? Where?" demand-
ed Mr. Belford.
Gaunt stood on the other Bide of the
table.
"One moment;' he said. "I want to ask
you a question. Is Miss Deane in LondenP"
Mies Doane?" echoed Mr. Belford, amaz-
ed at the question at such a moment.
"Yes. Where is she?"
"Er -el. -Miss Deane ie -is at home at
Leafmore. I believe. Buhr -but, Lord
Gaunt, where did you come from?"
"Is she -well?" broke in Gaunt, almost
eterniy.
The lawyers stared at him.

Gaunt's pale face worked.
-'But she is bettor. She is at home.

"Prom Southampton," said Gaunt, vouch-
safing the information. now that he had
learned something of Deoima.
"From Southampton! gasped Mr. Bel-
ford, "Then -then -you were saved? You
are alive?"
Yes," said Gaunt, as quietly as before.
"I week picked up by a yacht -the 'Sea
Wolf' -and the owner kindly turned back
and landed me in England."
The two partners exchanged glances-

"Than then perhaps you do not know
--that is -you have not learned that-

Gaunt regarded him gravely.
"Yes," he said, "I saw the account in
the nowopaner on board the yacht. You
said that Mise Deana was better? Do' you
mean that she is out of danger? I gather-
ed that she had been very i11."

Gaunt declined the small .Hack of brandy
which Mr. Lang proffered.
"I know," he said.
"That! -that" a murder was committed,
and that -
Mr. Belford could not go on,
That I am deemed guilty? -yes," said
Gaunt, se quietly as before. "I did not
do it; who did?"

Gaunt's sang-froid, but he felt that he was

experience .of it.

"No," said Gaunt, not sternly, but quite
coollyaand gravely. I may be a fool. but'

Mr Belford gasped for breath.
But -but you are aware, my lord, that

"Yes," said Gaunt quietly. `.And I have

He went to the window; but Mr,. Lang
seized him by the arm and drew him back,

patiently. "We carried out's,. your inetrut,

The partners assented to this.
"We have got Sir James, Lord Gaunt"
said Mr. Belford, and I need scarcely
say that he will do all he can, He is the
very best man. By the way, Mr. Baskett

Gaunt had heard of the famous Old

"I understand,he said -
"But do "you?"" demanded Mr. Belford,
desperately. Do you realize the -the aw-
ful position • in which you stand, Lord

Gaunt got up from the chair .and light-

"I al -ways said that .there was madnees

"I don't believe he did. it„' .remarked,
Mr. Lang. • -
"Then who did?"" retorted Mr, Belford;
and Mr. Lang could not answer.
Gaunt went down into the street, His
coolness and:rangg-froid tied been quite
free from aifeetation. Now that Demme,
was better, it did not in the very least
degree matter what became of him. The
lamps had been lighted, and the streets
of the largest and wealthiest city in thee,
world were wrapped in their usual gloom.
That gloom is one of the llamas which fill
the intelliggent foreigner, visiting our
land for the first time. with amazement
and dismay.
It was rather a long walk from Belford
& Long's office to. Morlet's, but Gaunt
welcomed it. It gave him time to think.
Mr. Dobson, notwithstanding the, evi-
dence against Gaunt, had been soaeeur-
ed of his innocence, that he had tried,
with flattering eagernese, to dissuade
Gaunt from returning to England and',
giving himself up, but Gaunt had refus-
ed to be dissuaded. The Gaunts, 'what-
ever their eine, and as a family they were
peeuliarl-r rich in this respect, had never
lacked courage; and Gaunt had resolved
to face the music,"
Ile insisted upon Mr. *Dobson making for
Southampton and Mr. Dobson'had at last,
driven to it by entreaties and arguments,
consented,
As a result of his surrender, Gaunt was
perfectly indifferent. IIs was weary of

Cool Work -of Doctors in Hospital
• !ole' Building Was
Afire.
.1- •
A few weeks ago -a, workman en-
gaged on the top of the roof of a
tall 'building at Springfield, Mass„
dislocated'•his sh$ulder. It was im-
possible to bring him down, so . a
surgeon climbed up, and, coolly sit-
ting astride a girder, hundreds of
feet above the .crowded street, pro-
ceeded -to •chloroform, ' the injured
mien and reduce the dislocation.
To the man in the street the skill
of the surgeon is always something
of a miracle. To carve living flesh
with steady hand and sure eye, to
secure each streaming vein, to re-
move diseased organs, and then to
mend up the wound so perfectly
that hardly a scar remains, seems.
to him to require almost superhu-
man skill.
Suprenle Test.
And there is no doubt but that a
big operation calls for the very
highest qualities that man posses-
ses. Even in the perfectly lit and
perfectly appointed operating thea-
tres of a great hospital, with every
possible aid at hand that modern
science commands, the task is a
severe one.
Yet often and often the surgeon
is called. upon to perform opera
tions 'without any such aids, and
*thou the ordeal may "be almost 1h,t
severe for doctor as it is, for paw
' tient.
For instance, in a railway acci-
dent. One raw winter morning,
two years ago, apassenger alight-
ing in a hurry from a train at
the -little station of ,Earlestown,
near Warrington, slipped and fell
between the still moving train and
the platform.
A doctor, suminQned in haste,
found that the only possible meth-
od of extricating. the unfortunate
man was to amputate one of his
legs. '•
instruments were fetched, and as
it was not yet daylight; a ring • of
Porters stood round with station
lanterns, while other persons
struck matches -to assist the.. sur-
geese
What made the horrible business
more terrible was the fact that it
was. impossible to give the injured
man chloroform. He remained con-
scious all through the operation.
In spite of the cramped position
in which the surgeon was compelled
to work, and the lack' of light and
appliances, the operation • was
quickly and successfully finished,
and the sufferer removed to a hos-
pital.
Operating Under Fire.
•
Often in war timb surgeons have
had to-.;pperate on the. battlefield,
sometir"',,a, s .actually under fire. But
it was under fire of a different sort
that two doctors 'performed an op-
eration at the hospital at Bidde-
ford, in the State of Maine. ` The
operation was to remove an inter-
nal ulcer, but five minutes after
they had begun it was discovered
that the hospital- was afire.
•Po move the patient was to kill
her. The surgeons stuck to their
work. The roar of flames was
plainly heard, and the hiss of water
from the fire hose. Presently wa-
ter began to pour through the roof
and pieces of wet plaster to fall
thudding to the floor. The nurses
put up umbrellas and held them
over the patient and the doctors.
No one dreamed of moving until
all was finished and the wound
sewn up. Then the patient was re-
moved to a . place, of safety.
In February! 1911, a similar ease
occurred at the West London Hos-
pital, but here the fire broke out
just before the operation was be-
gun, so there was tithe to remove -
the man to another department:
