And it was up to me to see all of them - the beat of them." "Ladies?" interjected the duke ently.' "Yes. With titles like those in novels, she said, and clothes like those in the Ladies' Pictorial. The kind of girls, she seed, that would make her look like a hou.semaid. Housemaid be darned!" he exclaimed, suddenly growing hot. "I've seen the whole lot orf them; Pve done my dardest to get next, and there's not one-" he stopped short. "Why should any of them look at me, anyhow?" he add- ed suddenly. "That was not her pont," renrrank- ed the duke. "She wanted you to look at them, and you have looked." T. Ternbancenes eagerness was inepir- ing to behold. "I have, haven't I?" he cried.

The young women gave his time to must be "Ladies" cause !Miss !Hutchinson had requir- it from him. The female flower the noble -houses had been passed review .before him to practise up - so to speak. The handsomerthey re, the more dangerously chaam- mg, the better Miss Hutchinson would be pleased. And he had been regard- ed as a presumption aspirant. It was a situation for a comedy. But the "Ledies" would not enjoy it if they were told. bit was also not the Duke of Stone who would tell them. They could not in the least under- stand the subtlety of the comedy in which they -had unconsciously taken part. Alm Hutchinson's ,grandmother curtsied to them in her stiff old way when they passed. Ann Hutchinson bad gone to the village school and been presented with prizes for needle- work and good behavior. But what a 'girl she must be, the slim bit of a thing with a red head! What a clear headed and firm little person! In courts he had learned to wear a composed countenance when he was prompted to smile, and he wore one now. He enjoyed the society of T. Tembarom increasingly every hour. He provided him with every joy. Their drive was a long one, and they .talked a good deal. They talk- ed of the .efutehinsons, of the inven- tion, of !the business "deals" Tembar- om had entered into at the outset, and of their tremendously encoura,g- ing result. It was not mere rumor that Hutchinson would end by being a rich man. The girl would be an heiress. How complex her position would be!. And being of the elect who unknowingly bear with them the power that emoves the world," haw would she affect Temple Barholm and it s -surrounding neighborhood? "I wish to God she was here now!" exclaimed Tembaroan, suddenly. -It had been an interesting teak, but now and then the duke had won- dered if, as it went on, his compan- ion ems as wholly at his ease as was usual with .him.

As he Was saying the words, he thought he was going to hear some- thing; when he had finished saying them he knew that he would without a doubt. T. Tembarom (made a qui move in his seat; he lost a shade color and cleared his throat as bent forward, casting a .glance at t backs of the coachman and footma on the high seat -above them. "Can those fellows hear me?"Is asked. "No," the duke. answered; "if yo speak as you are speaking now." "You are the biggest man abo here," the youneman went' on.

And after his guest bad left him the duke stood for some minute gazing into the fire with a campli cated smile aiui the air of a man who finde himself quaintly enriched.

Lady Mallowe knew from lung ex- perience ail about the exigencies of cases when "needs must," and s.hc. was not critical. Tem,ple Barholm as the estate of a distant relative and T. Tembaroan as its owner were not assets to dead with indifferently. When a man made a respectable liv- ing out of people who could be per- suaded to let you make investments for them, it was atot an unbusiness- like idea to be in the position to ad- vise an individual Strongly. "It's quite natural .that you should feel an inteeest," she answered "But the romantic stranger is too romantic though I will own Scotland Yard is a little odd." • "Yes, that is exactly what I thought," said Palliser. Ile had in fact thought a iglOod deal and followed the thing up in a quiet, amatetu• way, though with annoyingly little result, Occasionally he had felt ratlher a fool for his pains, because he had been led to so few facts of importance and had found himself so often confronted by T. Tembarom's entirely frank gain. His own mental attitude was not a complex one. Lady Mallowe's summing up had been cor- reet enough on the whole. Temple Barhohn ought to be a substantial asset, regarded in Its connection !with its present owner. -Little dealings ie stacks-sometiMes rather large ones when luck was with him -had brought desirable roturns to Captain Palliser throughout a number of years. Just now be was taking an interest in a somewhat imposing scheme, or what might prove an imposing one if it were managed properly and present- ed to the right persons. If T. Tem - baron had been sufficiently lured by the spirit of speculation to plunge in- tc old Hutchinson's affair, as he evi- dently had done, he was plainly of the temperament attradted by the game of chance. There had been no reason but that of temperament which could have led him to invest. He had found 'himself suddenly a moneyed man and had liked the game. Never having so much as heard of Little Ann Hutchinson, Captain Pal- liser net unnaturally argued after this wise. There seemed no valid reason why, if a vague invention had allured, a less vague scheme, man- aged in a more businesslike manner, should not. This Mexican silver and copper• mine was a dazzling thing to talk about. He could go into details. lie had, in fart, allowed a good deal of detail to trail through his conver- sation at times. Et had not been dif- ficult to accomplish this in his talks with Lady Mallowe in his host's pres- ence, Lady Maillowe was always ready to talk of mines, gold, silver, or carmen It happened at times that one could manage to secure a few shares withoue the actual (payment of money. There were little hospitali- tim or social amiabilities now and then which might be regarded as value received. So she had made it easy for Captain Palliser to talk, and T. Tembarom bad heard much which would have been of interest to the kind of young man he appeared to be. Sometimes he had listened ab- sorbedly, and on a few occasions he had asked a few questions which laid him curiously bare in his role of speculator. If he had no practical knowledge of the ways and means of great mining emnpanies, he at. least professed none. At all events, if there was any little matter he pre- ferred to keep to henself, there was no berm in making oneself familiar with its aspect and significance. A 1 man's arguments, so far as he him- self is concerned, assume the char• acter with which his own choice of adjectives and -adverbs labels them. i That is, if he labels them. 'Tlhe most astute do not. Captain Palliser did not. He dealt merely with reasoning procesees which wore applicable, to the subject in eand, whatsoever its nature. He was a practical man of the world -a gentleman, of ("nurse. t was necessary to adjust matters withouit romantic hair-splitting. It was all by the way. T. Tembarom had at the outset seemeci to present, no to speak, no mirage. Palliser had men ceased to be at all sure that his social ambi- tions were to be relied nn as a lever. Besides which, when the old Duke of Stone took delighted possession of him, dined with 'him, drove with him, sat and gossiped wile him by the hour, there was not much one could offer eine Strangeways had at first meant only eccentricity. A little Meer he had occastionally faintly stirred curiosity, and perhaps the fact that Burrill enjoyed him as a grievance and a mystery had stimu- lated the stirring. The varieet chance had led him to find himself regard- ing the opening -up of possible vistas. From a certain window in - a eer- tein vrinir of the -house a .muchaprais- ed view was to be seen. Nothing was more natural than that on the oc- casion of a curious sunset Palliser should, in conning from his room, de- cide to take a look at it. As he passed through a corridor Pearson came out of a room near eine "How is Mr. Strancreways' to -day?" Palliser asked. 'Not quite so well, I am afraid, °k York is demanding her rights?" said ''fe Lady Mallowe, with anneyance."That ▪ is exactly the kind or thing Joan he would like Ito hear, and so entirely natural. Some shop -,girl or other. "Quite natural, as yeu say; but he e , would scarcely be running up to Lon- don and consulting Scotland Yard about her," Palliser -anwered. "Scotland Yard!" ejaculated his ut companion. "How in the world did au you find that out?" " !Captain Palliser did not explain e ' how he had done it. Presumably his knowledge was due to the adroitness e of the system of "following such • things up." e "Scotland Yard has also came to P him," 'he went on. "Did you chance P to see a red-faced person who spent P a morning with him last week?" "He looked like a buther, and I na ehought he !might be one of his friends," Lady Mallovve t*d. ! "I recognized the rwah. He is an e extremely clever detative, much re- ' spected for his resom•ces in the mat- • ter of following clues which are so attenuated as to be st•arcely clues at ld ale" "Clues have no e onnectio n with • Joan," said Lady elellewe, still more t annoyed.
