I have been bunting every- where to get a portrait of him, and only tell minutes ago I succeeded. I was driving through Ebury-street when it occurred to me to try once more at Downey's. The photograph was; not for sale and I had to wheedle for it. isn't he a superb creature —the lion ? Doesn't he carry the airs of his deserts with him ?" She drew the photograph from its envel- ope, and held it aloft in her delicately - loved fingers, gazing at it frith a droll affectation of rapture. Inthia reached out et band - for it,but her ladyship wallas* ewe!. "Ne, ne 1 I can't part with my flea.

"Let me leek at it." Lady label surrendered the photo- graph, and Inthia, restingit against a. vase upon the mantelpieoe, fell to studying it so earnestly that in the first three seconds she forgot her ftiettd's pre- sence. The good-hearted and agreeable rat- tlepate, her companion, stood by with an aspeot of demure mischief, and waited. Inthia folded her heads behind her, and her eyes began to dream. She looked long and intently at the portrait, ,and awoke from her fancies with a sigh, at which Lady Mabel broke into a peal of fairy laughter. Inthia met her look of raillery With grave self-possession. "There is something in the face," she said, "which puzzles me. I seem to knew it well, but the likeness constantly evades ale." She hated to be dishonest, but she wee ley no means disposed to make Lady Mabel a partaker of her secret. With the face of Ronald Morten actually pictured before her, she seemed to read Harry in every lineament. The eyes, frank and honest, �e at once tender and courageous, were rry a to the life. The brew web Harry's. curling beard and heavy moustache obscured the lower outlines of the face, and gave them a manliness and decision foreign to the remembrances, yet very far from being contradictory of them. Over and ever again in looking. on the portrait, her fancy effaced all differences, and the snumth, boyish countenance looked out at her un- changed. Lady Mabel fluttered off to find Lady )1c(3opguodele, and Inthia was left alone. Mae studied the phetogra h anew, until a half angry gust of defensive shame tooch•d her, and she put It resolutely away. She was not going to be die- _ 1e�,y. sl to her memories because of any likeliest, howsoever striking, and she began to think that Ronald Morton was ex- citing -a, dangerous interest in her mind. Do what she would she thought of him. Her resolutions were the merest ropes of sand, and, however industriously she wove them, they broke at the first touch. The mere memory of Ronald Morton's voice and eyes undid her strongest resolve, and her 1 whole day was passed in thinking of him, and tis strange resemblance to Harry, and i i in the effort to expel frim from her thoughts. u The night passed in much the same ash- w ion, and long before the hour came at which j I it was accessary to dress for Lady Mabel's ' a bal, her disinclination to meet him- had Y grown into something like an actual fear. What eke dreaded most of all was a certain secret complacency which underlay her re- e agetance to encounter him. She feared the n mi•tiag, and yet there was pleasure is the la thought of it. She took herself seriously to se task, but with no effect. She could not die- ; L miss from her own thoughts the interest the Sh stranger bred there. The hour arrived and she reached the ' th ball -room in a flutter of suppressed excite- ofli went. ab "The lion," said Lady Mabel, wl}jspperi g til her, "is the best, the most amiable and a" punctual of lions. He is here already, most , tra unlipntike in modesty. One can see that he ' is not experimente--.-he has net learned the.- su value of his name." my Lady Mabel's rooms as yet gave but a eel half promise of the condition of fashionable crush they were destined to reach an hour ' an later, and Inthia had not been in the house stn five minutes' when she found Ronald Morton bending over her. Ile was asking late fora dance, a"nd she felt like a raw girl on wa her first introduction to the world. She ' pre had prepared herself for this, and had ha meap, if the request were proffered, to inea't it with an excuse the moment might ; bee afford, and almost before she knew it she ' i had accepted, and was pencilling Mr. Ron ° wh .old Morton's name upon her card with ' cha trembling fingers. She bad not even enough of the self -protective instinct loft to ' 64 put him far down on the list in the hope of you escaping before the time came. She was a y little surprised to discover that the desire :eye to escape had vanished. Humphrey Frost came to claim her for a seri quadrille, and this gave her time to steady able herself a little, but she had never known' ' the: dance to pass with so much swiftness, Joy , The young people of to -day, even the staid- to b est of them, are not apt to look on the quadrille as a source of delirious excitement 5pe but to Inthia's fancy it was whirled through with. as almost indecorous celerity. In her hemi dread of the approaching waltz she would hou have taken it at a funeral pace, and even the that might have seemed too quick for her. " She was perfectly self-possessed to all out- hour ward appearances when she stood up for "1 the waltz, with Ron Id Mortoa'aarm about Paid her waist, but her hart was actually riot- "bu ing in her bosons The band had sounded L itis lively flourish of warning, and with its she fifth plunge into the waltz movement the " two floated away together. The Asiatic note deserts are not the best dancing not school in the world, and Harry, in his " eagerness to secure .nthia for a Frog. partner, had overlooked ` the fact that story a for beton nit b were wards him, and their eyes met. .He was bending over her, and his looks seemed to devour her. "Inthia!" he said. She gave no answer,. but his eyes fascinated her. "Don't you know me?" He caught her swiftly as she was in the act of falling. He supported her with one arm about her waist, and the other be- neath her head, and she lay in his arms like a drooping flower. Her face was colorless, but there was no fear in hie mind. He kissed ' her . again and again. Her eyes opened, the color Sowed back to her �,� and she throw both arms &bear "1 kaew it," she sobbed, "I knew it. It was impossible, sad yet I knew it." For long that they clung to each ether in a sfieaw only broken by lathia's stilled sobs, and now and again a soothing murmur frenii Harry. "I wanted to declare myself," he said, 'Iron the first moment, but I had not the courage. When Hogan asked me to see Lord Hoaxes I consented, because you were to be away. Yon forgive me for that?' There was se need to ask. The clinging am i and fast flowing tears told all. "I have strange things to tell you, darling, *hen you are strong enough to listen. I will not trouble you with them now." "I am listening, ' dear," she answered. "Tell me everything." He found a seat for her, and threw open the conservatory door, letting in the air ot the balmy night" from the garden. The moon, nearly at the -fall, hunglow over the neighbouring roofs, and its light fell full upon her face. He seated himself beside her, and took her hands in his. "I had no meant to speak to -night," he said, "but I could not help it. I should have told the world to -morrow, sad you first of a11. I had a reason for the delay. I stayed away seven Wears to make an:hoaoreble life for myself. hen I cams home I found I had assumed the alias of a raeeal,-a thief and forger. Bat the hand of heaven was in it. He be- longed to the very gang which brought abonttra ruin, and when they leaped that Ronald Morton was in London ,the scoun- drels took me for their old companion. I encouraged their belief, and to -night stall have in my hands the setual prooi of their last villainy. I shall punish the heartless rascals that parted you and ' me, and I shall do a serums to the world at large. I am expecting every moment the message which will call Inc to them." As if the words were the cue for Lady Mabel's entrance she came into the conser- vatory at that moment, and caught sight of the couple sitting hind ` in and. She started back for a mererreecosd, and then advanced with an unusual frigidity of man- ner. "Mr. Merton," she said idly, "your secretary has brought a note whilh he de- scribes as beingmost urgent." Harry thaned her, and took the mis- sive from her hand. He tore it -open, and read by the moonlight the simple words, "Proofs ready." "My darling," he said, turning to Inthia, "the message I expected_" At this endearing epithet her ladyship fairly stared. "Inthia!" she breathed, in a tone of con- centrated astonishment. Inthia rose and embraced cher, half cry- ing, half laughing. "`Mabel, von don't know what Las hap- pened. This is my cousin Harry coare to life again." Her ladyship was stricken dumb. She was fluent enough as a rule, but for once in her life the power of speech deserted her. "My dear Lady Mabel," said Itarry, "it s true. I have had a reason for remaining nknown, but to -morrow morning all that ill be over. I must go now. Good-bye, nthia. God bless you, my darling. I h'all see yon in the morning. I must go. ou know my reasons for it. Good-bye, again, dear." He had both her hands in his own, and es in Lady Mabel's presence, he could ot refrain from kissing then. A minute ter the two women were left .to them - Ives, Inthia repeated Harry's story, and ady Mabel had a rare feast of emotion. • cried for sympathy, and laughed for oy, and in short gave way so completely at in a very little while it was Inthia ce to oalm her, and to remind her of her Bence from her guests. At this her vela- • ladyship dried her tears, and producing powder -puff set to work to remove their ces on her own face. "I am a fright, my darling, and I am re you are another. Come with me to rooms. We must really make onr- ves presentable." She led Inthia through the conservatory, d they escaped together by the servantla ircase. Re-entering the ball -room five mipatea r the were enesuntered at the door - y by the Frost, who wore an ex- ssion altogethee enigmatic, half shocked, if arr used, and wholly wonder-strickefi. 'Lady Mabel," said Front, "you have n entertaining angels unawares." 'We have indeed," said Lady Mabel. ose butterfly mind was dangerously rged with the news of the night. 'I have a curious surprise to give you." We have a curious surprise to give ," her ladyship answered with sparkling s. "Let us see whose is the greater."

"The fellow has left the se, and has walked clean into the trap. police have set for him." The police!" said Lady Mabel. "My e! Of whom are you talking?" am really awfully sorry to say it," Frost with an irrepressible twinkle, t I am talking of your Asiatic lion." ady Mabel's eyes danced at this, and passed an arm through Inthia's. What of the Asiatic lion?" she asked in- utly. "I promised him that he should be hunted." He is being hunted with a vengeance," t returned. "Let me tell you the plain . You remember the bonds which ged to ine being stolen in tran- etween Boulogne and Calais? They stolen, as we know now, by two men, ctively name Gilead (ilfoil and Wil - Reid. William Reid is a notorious er, a skilled distributor of forged bank- , and is at this moment on his way to up a packet of forged notes from his derate." "What has all this to do with - the Asiatic lion?" her ladyship demanded. "It sounds terrible," said Front. "It re- minds one of Barrington and the days of the - Regency. William Reid, dear ladies, is no other than Ronald, Morton." "We have_ a prettier story than that," said her ladyship. "Tho careeroftheAsiatic lion shall come to a more agreeable close. From whom did you get this charming nar- rative, Mr. Frost?" "1 got it," said Front gravely, "from an unimpeachable source. It came to me a quarter of art hour since only from M. Ver- gueil, a member of the detective staff of Paris, who has hunted thio man and his comrades for seven years, and he will have them arrested by the English police to- night." "Really," cried Lady Mabel, "this is de- lightfully interesting, but you are a day be- hind the fair, Mr. Frost. Inthia and I knew this half -an -hour ago, Mr. Frost. No, you shan't be plagued any loner, and in place of talking folly and making mys- tery about it. we oaaht to be on our knees he had not so much as aeon a clan the last seven years.

She took it, hardly knowing what she did, and unconscious of the smiles which her companion's failure excited. Harry was as unconscious as herself, `for the mere contact of her hand upon his arm, though it rested there as light as a snow- flake, filled him with a splendid exultation. He was: near to the end he had set before himeelf. To -morrow he would. proclaim hie identity to the world, and et that moment no shadow ot a doubt as to Inthia's recep- tion of hint rested on his mind. Before he Well knew it they were walking alone in the half gloom of a conservatory. She was the first to discover that they had withdrawn from the crowd, and hastily re- moving her hand she murmured an inarti- culate something, and turned away. She never knew, then and afterwards, if it were terror or the asaarance of an almost awful joy which shook her as he laird his end upon her shoulder. She turned to.

He is not a eonfederete of these vile people, but in hernias to rustics with his own hoods the wicked wretches who ruined him seven y ago." Frost looked from the one to the other in profound astonishment, then with It stam- mered word of excuse turned away, struggl- ed unceremoniously through the brilliant crowd which filled the ball -room, ran swift- ly down the stairs, and dashing bare -headed into the strut, hailed a passing hansom and leapt into it. He thrust a sovereign through the trap of the dib. "Drive for your life !" he shouted. "Clerkenwell! There may be a terrible fight," he said to himeelf, 'before these men are captured. The police must know with whom they have to deal, or Harty may lose his life." CHAPTER XX.

Frost caught sight of him and beckoned him. He crossed over, and listen- ed to the extraordinary iterative detailed to him es if it had been the most ordinary in the world. "Yes," he said, "I think it will be well for Mr. Wynne to enter as if he had not seen us at a11," "I had not expected your aid," said Harry, "but perhaps it is better as it is. Let Tae ask you not to permit your men to break it until I have secured possession of the notes." "Very good, sir," said Vergeuil. "Your wishes shall be considered." • "Shall I give you a signal?" asked Harry. "No, thank you,"returned Vergueil with extreme dryness. "We shall be aware of your proceedings." 1 ham not expected you to be so easily convinced," said Frost to .Vergeuil when they were left alone. "1 had not expected you to be so easily convinced," returned the detective. "We shall see. You do not know your man, Mr. Frost. There is no fox in the world who has so many devices. There is no actor on the stage who is his master in com- edy. He invents like the great Durnas— better, for the people believe him." Harry had already knocked at the doer of `number fourteen Wexford Row, and had been admitted. Vergueil, holding Frost by past the house cab - to 1 e the sleeve, led him swiftly and shot into the walled lane which lay be- side it. Half way towards the rear he paused, and spoke a cautious whisper. "There is a door which opens flush upon the room in which they all are met togeth- er. The room is surrounded, and there is no escape from it. If our friend is William Reid, we have him in spite of any trick which he may play. We shall give him no time to destroy our evidence. If he is Mr. Wynne, we shall be there to help him, Now, silence ! Do not breathe." They moved on tiptoe to the door. The alley was black with the shadows of mid- night, but there were two denser shadows in the midst of them. A sudden glare of, light flashed out across the faces of Frost and his companion, and disappeared, but not a word was spoken. Two or three needle points of light showed redly through the gravities of the door. Vergreil, crouch- ing, laid his ear against it and listened. Frost placed himself opposite, and the two stood silent as a brace of statues. _ Harry, having knocked at the door, was kept waiting for a little while, and in the light of the street lamp near at hand he read anon the neatly enrrraved braes &J+tm- REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

It is an acknowledged fact, that this Washer has no equal, it is one of the wonders of the e age, for there are actually two machines in one. Fourteen Shirts can be washed at a time, seven on each side. This machine has the hand principle with a leverage power. The old way is acknowledged by all very destructive to the clothes. Thefinest fabrics can be washed with this machine without theleast injury to the goods. The machine will pay for itself by the saving of the goods, as there is no rubbing ; it is all done by pressure and suction. When the handles are drawn. to the left, the right side closes, thus forcing the suds through the clothes, and when the handles are drawn to the other side the operation is reversed, and the clothes on the right side are again filling with water. Another .great feature of this machine is, that it holds the clothes together throughout the washing process, and for each seven movements of the handles, this clothes make one revolution. Conse- quently, there are five different operations made with one motion of the handles. It does its work equal to,if not better, than any hand work in a very short time, and it is also easy to operate, A child of fourteen can do the washing.
