CHAPTER XXXfl.

concerning it. It was a will, and the will

But how on earth had it come to be
coraealed in the back of this myster-
ious picture? Who had put it there, and
why
new a. few minutes Bertie :felt as a
roan does who is fortunate --or unfor-
tunate—enough to pick up a letter in
the street. He didn't want to read it,
and yet he couldn't find out to whom it
is,elonged unless he did read it.
With a. feeling of curiosity and ex-
letement he drew a chair up to the fire

he had got through a dozen lines the
legal jargon made hie brain swim and
ee et:infused him that be had to begun

and folding up the will, stuffed it behind
the: clock on the mantel shelf.
"Mr. Passel about the bore, my lord,"
ea:lei the man.
instantly the will was driven out of
Beetle's mind. Mr. Wassel had a. racer
in charm: of his lordship, and on this
home depended a great deal more. of
Rertie's money than he would have liked
Ile own.
"Oh, show him up; no, wait," he add -
red, quickly; "I'll come down to him."
and putting the picture face downwards
in tee top of the bureau, he eaught up
his belt and ran downstairs. •
Mr. Vassel had a great deal to say
about the horse, and wart particularly
.L►txiona that Lord Bertie should go to
a neighboring stable where a groom, who
;lad some important information to dis-
,:te :'•e, was waiting for then!,
1ertio consented and the two went off.
The valet made up the fire, and began
elear up the litter which his master
had made. IIe carefully collected the
bits of the broken frame, and put them
in .be fire, and that they Wright burn

stmetcered up to the. fire.

by the picture lying face downward on
the bure tl= 'it, went up to it and took
it I?p earelessly. thinking that it would
bet either a portrait of Bertie's horse or
sone famous ballet dancer.
"Yientie's going in for fine arts," he
meant with a sneer,
1 itdtn he turned the picture over; and
• witix an exclamation nearly let it drop
from his Banda.
It: was the portrait of the Countess of
'tt'1•0v field, the portrait which lie had
last {leen in old Craddock's safe.
Per a moment l.oyee was turned to

dow and examined it minutely. Yes, it
was the original picture; the picture

into T.ord Bettie Dewsbury's possession"?
"Can the old idiot have given—sold

end o)' as emelt treble ns the picture.
Happening to glance at the fireplace,
he saw a :fragment of gilding, and then
the remains. of the trate smouldering
in the file. Mystified and alarmed, he
stood with the picture in his hand.
What did it mean? How had Bertie
got possession of the picture, and why
had he destroyed the frame?
There were some open letters stuelc
in the glass and littering the nutntle-
shelf, and Royce took theta up and
glanced over them; perhaps he shored
find in one of them a clue to the mys-
tery.
t But there seemed nothing in the let -
1 teas to enlighten him. They were chief-
ly bilis and invitations; he put his hand
behind the marble clod: to see it there
were any more, and pulled out the will.
.thinking it would be nothing of inz-
port:tnce to hien, he was thrusting it
back, when a cobweb which !lung to one
of the corners caught ilia attention, and
he tea: it up again and unfolded !t.
.\s he dict so, a strange. presentiment
Unit he was on the eve of n discovery
took possession of ]tint, and it was with
a thrill of amazement that he saw what
the paper really was.
It was the lost, will ,the last will aicl
testament of the Nate of iurowtield,
Joan Ormshy's grandfather!
Trembling in every limb, his face ash-
en white with excitement, he ran his
eyes over the paper.
The legal phraseology did not trouble
hint as it. had done Bettie. and in a few
seconds he has mastered the contents.
It was the Earl of Arrowfield's will,
and it Left the whole of the immense
property, with the exception of small
sums to charities and Stuart Villiers.
"to my granddaughter, the child of
Captain Ormsby. of the 1YEitlt, now in
With quivering lip and dazzler! eyes.
\tordaunt Rupee stood and stared be-
fore hien into vacancy.
Here were his fondest neper tally
realieecl. Here was the will, the lost
Will, itt his hands; in his own !Lands.
Joan Ormsby was at this moment the
owner of all the immense wealth held
by Stuart Villiers! and. she Was Itis,
Mordaunt Royce's promised wife!
It was all plain to him now. Beetle
had bought the picture of old Craddock,
and, removing the frame for some rea-
son or other, had discovered the will
concealed within it.
But had he read it. The. frame had
been destroyed just before he came in;
the pieces were still smouldering in the
fire. Ilad Bertie had time to make him-
self acquainted with the doeuntent, and,
if so, what would be the consequences:'
With his hand to his brow, elordaunt
Royce tried to realize the situation. If
Bertie had not rend the will, then he,
Mordauut Royce, was the only person
who knew of its contents! Ile would
keep it concealed until &tiler• h' had
married :loan, and all would be well.
If Bertie had rend it! --what should
h , Iloyce, do?
Teen came a still more burning ques-
tion:
What was he to do with the will?
Leave it there on the ruantel-shelf,
leave it in fertie's possessionl lutpossi-
hie! The first thing Beetle would do
when Ise had read it, if he heti not done
so already, would be to fly off to his
lawyer; everything would be lcuown,
and Mordaunt Royce, at the very mo-
ment of victory, would be lost and ruin-
ed! But how .could he keep it? Ile
couldn't steal iti He could not walk
off with it in his pocket! Bertie would
know that Ire had been there and would
suspect him of the theft! :There was no
tune to be lost, Bertie might be back
at any moment.
Desperate, almost frenzied with per.
plexite, he strode up and down the
room.
Then suddenly ns a streak of light-
ning, an idea flashed':tpon him. Taking
out his penknife he out off n corner of
the draper, without injuring the import-
ant part of the document, and carefully
putting the will in his pocket, went to
the .fireplace and held the piece he had
cut off to the flautea. When about half
of it was burnt, Ile let the remainder
smeulder until it had become brown
and then dropped it carefully on the
hearth.
He had scarcely completed this elab-
orate preparation when Bertio entered.
"Hallo, Royce!" he exclaimed."Been
Gere long? Sorry to keep you welting.

Some children ar'e pa ticulainy i.i-

break out with annoying frequency.

not rid the little one of this. We tried
everything the wain, think of, but failed
