ro ler should visit her a t the
it t t e
'shooting lodge which Lord Dorring-
ton rented in Scotland. She fearer[
the effect of her heavy loss on the
wealthy widow's mind, and she was
.anxious that l( brother should not
lose his chance. She could not un-
derstand why Clifford did not strike
fhome and win the prize. The keen
worldly woman had a very soft spot
in her heart for the brother who
so often angered her. To see hint and
the family estate free front debt
would fulfill her heart's desire, and
she thought Mrs. Ituthven a charm-
ing little Woman, well fitted to be
t lady of the manor. Lady Doering -
ton's geese were apt to become swan-
like in propot•tiott to their utility.
"As to her having a dash of the tar-
brush—it is all nonsense," she would
soy to those detractors who urged
this objection, "both her father and
mother were Europeans; some far-
away grandfather was an Indian
prince—that is no disadvantage in my
opinion."
But no amount of pressing could
induce Mrs. ltuthvcn to chit the
4 murky metropolis. She 11a(1 heard

respecting the purchase she wished to
make, for she was keenly interested
in financial matters and eager to get
the full worth of her money, and she
had a long and exceedingly co ell.-
de•ntltd interview with Waite after
his return front Evesleigh.
At the end of a fortnight from the
date of the robbery Shirley announc-
ed his return, after, be said, having
seen his sister start for the ltiviei'n,

There arils another pause.

"A naturalized Englishman.

"And your father?"
"A ?'ole. I resided both in Ger-
many and Prance in my youth, and
tem able to speak several languages,
which 1 find very useful."
"I expect Captain Shirley here im-
mediately. We must deal cautiously
with him," ',Aire. ltuthvcn i'esuited.
"He is vary shrewd and suspicious,
and will, 1 know, disapprove of my
applying to you without his inter-
position."

to Ostend when he height have been

dare say he knows, and we have lost

Captain Shealy have seen each oth-

-Certainly."
"It might answer another pur-

fully. "At alt events you must ap-

"That might answer, though there
are enough hiding -tuners in London
to shelter most rogues, and the less

"As yet but very little. Eh? Mr.

"It is a difficult case, vary. I have,
however, formed some idea."
"•indeed!" cried Shirley, eagerly.
"And that is----"
"Not to be talked 'about at pre-
