Dillingham Company :ate ignorant as tine manager and the •iandindy. "I haven't the slightest idea," he seta when Bawdsey asked, "and, to tell you the truth, I don't see why yeti, should try to find out. I .don't see what right you have to con- trol her movements." "Didshe write and tell you where slue was going,?" "No, .and ii she had done so I should not tell you," replied George, unuoyed by the man's persistence, "You may as well be civil to mo, Mr. Brendan. You know that I am your friend." "Oh, I've heard nil that before. But Teeple who talk much of friendship nod gratitude nre generally humbugs." Lola threatened to throw a chair at him. "I em not," said Bawdsey quietly. "See here, Mr. Brendon, Lola is in love with you" -- "That's my business. Leave it *lone." Bawdsey took up bis hat, "Oh, very well. If you will not be civil I cannot help you to learn who killed your fa- ther," "What!" George sprang from the table at which he was writing and seized, the man's arm. "Do you know that?" "Gently, Mr. Brendon. No, I ea not kltow, but"— "Tben what do you mean by say- ing" -- "We had better have a chat," said Bawdsey and sat down. "But I wish to know where I stand. Lola loves ,you. Do you love her?" "No," said Brendon, seeing that he would have to humor the man. "1 am engaged to marry Miss Ward." "Will you help Inc to marry Lola?' "Willingly, though, to tell you the 1 truth, I know very little about you, and to make that girl marry you"— "Oh, Lola can look after herself, Mr. Brendon. If she becomes my wife i :Abe will have the upper hand. But I *m so deeply in We with her that I c sin willing to play second fiddle. Can't n you dispossess her of this infatuation e for you?" g "See here, Bawdsey, if you can per. suede this woman to get over her lik- ing for me and to marry you I shall be delighted. I do not know where she is t just now,. but it is my impression that she has gone away because she is h afraid of me." "Afraid of you? Oh, that's absurd!" "No, it isn't. The other morning she saw Miss Ward, and there was a scene In the park." 13awdsey hung his red head. "I fear that is my fault," he confessed. "I d ;posited out Miss Ward to Lola and"-- t "'Aw "'And it was I ho foolishly men- tioned that miss Ward sometimes took it walk in the morning in the park." "Oh," said Bawdsey, "I mentioned that also." a "Did you wish Lola to see MissWard?" asked George angrily. "No. Nor did I intend to say ally - thing about the walking in the early morning. I simply panted, ?ser Out In the box to Lola so that Lola might see there was no chance of your marrying her," "As if any woman would *matsuch an excuse," said Brendon con- temptuously, "Then she questioned you about the walk?" "Yes. She mentioned something about what you had told her, and I was rather free with my tongue. I am not usually,"' said Bawdsey penitently, "but there's something about Lola that makes me behave like a child, I'm wax in her hands. So tele saw Miss Ward?" "Yes. And size knows that I ane an- gry. Of course Miss Warn sent to tell me at once, and I called on Lola to give her a talking to, but she was gone when I arrived. 1 am quite content not to see Lola again so long as she leaves Miss Ward alone." "I Will try to keep her away," said the detective, "but I leave very little Influence with her," "Tell her 1 am angry and will be still more angry if she does not keep away from Curzon street. Weil, we have discussed this matter. I now want to hear what you meant by your refer- ence to my father. Do you know who killed bine?" Bawdsey shook his head. "I can't say for certain, but I eau tell you who might know.'" "Who is that?" "Mr. Roger Ireland." George looked astonished. "But that is ridiculous," he said, "Mr. Ireland told mo that he did not know." "Oh, I don't say that he knows for certain, But he is better acquainted with the matter than you think." "How did you come to know Mr. Ireland ?" "He called to see Miss Bull, and I dropped across him." "How did you get talking of the case?" "Well, you see," said Bawdsey easily, "we naturally talked of Mrs. Jargon, and one thing led to another until I discovered that Ireland bad been in San Remo when your father was mur- dered. I wished to frnd out who killed him, so I questioned Mr. Ireland." "Why do you wish to know who killed my father?" asked George. "Beeause I think that tbe murder of Mrs. Jersey is connected with that crime. See here"—Bawdsey cleared his throat—"Mrs. Jersey was in San Remo at the time of the death"-- "Flow do you know that?" "Don't I tell you. I questioned Mr. Ireland?" George looked sharply at the detec- tive. ""'What magic did you use to make him talk? Dir. Ireland knows bow to hold his tongue." "Well, when he found tbat I was ooking after the case of Mrs. Jersey— and I made no secret of that—he was good enough to tell me all he knew. Ile thought, as I did, that the murder n San Remo was connected with the rime of Amelia square. There is otting afore to say., Mr. Ireland de - lined to tell me who he thought was uilty, but he hinted that he had seen the lady in •the blue domino un- masked." "Divi he recognize her?' "I think he did, but he assured mo hat he could not be sure and that he ad not seen the lady again." "Then he did know the face?" Bawdsey's face assumed an impene- rnble expression. "I can only refer ou to air. Ireland,' he said, "And as o Lola"— "Oh, she'll turn up again," said Bren- on irritably. "Don't worry me about Lola. I wish you would marry her and eke her back to your native Iand." "What land am I native of, Mr. Brendon?" asked Bawdsey calmly. ":ti.inerica, I understand. You hinted s much when we met." Bawdsey shook his head. "I am es English as you are," he declared. "Well," said Breedon, with a shrug, "I thought as much. Your accent fails at times. You are not a good actor, j Bawdsey." "Never you mind, sir. 1 cnn hold my' tongue when it sults ate, and on this i occasion it does suit ale. But remem- ber, rlr. Brendon, that whatever hap- pens you have a friend in me." "Aro you referring to my father's murder?"' "And to Airs. Jersey's. I have my suspicions, and—well, there's nothing more to be said. When I am certain I slap let you know," "One moment, Iiat'adsey," shad Brett* don as the man had his band on the door, "Do you suspect bliss Bull?" j "Why should I Suspect her??" asked I the detective in surprise. "Because she was not on good term with Mrs, Jersey, and you have taken I up your abode in the house"— j "To watch her, you would say.

"Ilumpil," said George to himself when alone, "I shall go round and sen that old man. It seems- to nee that Bawdsey is trying to serve two mas- ters, It is iinpossible that my grand- father cnn know the truth. Yet, going by his height and figure and that sable claret colored coat, be was certainly in the house on the night in question." On arriving at St. Giles square he Raw a carriage at the door of the Der- tington mansion. On asking for Lord Derrington, George was informed that his lordship was engaged with Mee. Ward and could see no one. Brendon turned away, wondering that be had not recognized the carriage, and he was still more vexed with himself when Dorothy put her head . out of the brougham and called to biro. "My dearest," he said softly, so that the coachman and footman might not hear, "this is an unexpected pleasure. Why are you not inside?" "Dry mother wished to see Lord Der- rington alone," replied Dorothy. "I am waiting till she comes out. She has been with him for half an hour. I don't know what they are talking about." It Was at this moment that a mes- sage was brought out of the lioxso from Mrs. Ward saying that her daughter could drive home, as she would not be disengaged for another hour, Dorothy looked puzzled. "1 can't understand," she said. "There is something wrong with my mother. Lord Derrington came to see her one day, and she has been upset ever since." George shook his head. He suspect- ed Mrs. Ward of knowing more than I she chose to confess, and based his suspicions on the fact of the, yellow holly which she had given Dorothy to present to him, Meanwhile he kept these suspicious to himself and made some excuse, "Oh, Mrs. Ward and my , grandfather are probably talking over my iniquities; he said easily. "But I don't see why I should not take ad- vantage of this chance." "What do you mean, George?" asked Dorothy, with a becoming blush. "Well, here is tbe brougham, and here you are. Why shouldu5t we drive around the park before you go home?" "My mother will be angry," said 'or- othy, hesitatlug. Then she blushed again. "But I shall brave her anger. t We have much to talk about, as I wish to speak of Lola Velez."

Get in and we will drive round the park." Meantime lure, Ward was seated in ebetir facing Lord Derrington. The old gentleman looked sayage, but Mrs. Ward was quite at her ease, They had been having a war of words, and Mrs. Warta so tar had conte off best. The conversation bad been in reference to the sentence whispered in the little woman's enc when he bad made her promise to hold her tongue about ti7eorge, 1 "Of course I do tbink it is the meanest thing a man can do," said Mrs. Ward bitterly. "What if I did ' cheat at cards? Every woman does that, and I was losing no end ot mon- ' about Brendon or xll tell what I , know." "Then I'll do the same," I Derrington bowed politely. "By all means," be said, "My reputation is al- ready so bad that a word or two trove you can seemly hake it worse," "Oh, it's more than that," attic!. Mrs. Wnrti quietly. And she spoke in so positive a manner that Derrington be- gin to recollect his worst taus. "Do you remember the night you came home here at 1. o'clock .anti found me in this very room?" "Yes. You came with the amiable in- tention of telling me that George Brendon was going to pass the night at Mrs. Jersey's and that you suspect- ed that he was up to mischiet," "I took the trouble to come from a party for that very purpose," was Mrs. Ward's plaintive reply. "And how was I received?" "Mrs. Werth 1 am getting tired of this circumlocution. What ie it you bave to gay?" "Weil, on that night you were in a fur coat" "My usual coat in winter,." "It was the night when Mss. Jersey was killed." "Was it indeed? L never noticed the coincidence." "No. But you knew abolit it," saki airs. Ward. You threw your coat on yonder sofa. I seated myself near it by cbnnce. ".there was something hard in the pocket of the coat. When you were out of the room I took the some- thing out. There it is." And she laid an Italian stiletto ou the table, "What is that?" asked Derrington calmly, but with an anxious face. "That," said Mrs. Ward, touching it daintily with her linger, "Is the weap- on with which Mrs. Jersey was stabbed," ey " "I don't think your friends would take that view," said Derrington grim- • ly, "I came to hear of the matter quite by chance, and it is plain that you won over a hundred pounds by cheating." "It's that ]torrid Alen Way.dete who told you"-- ! "No. It Mrs. Wayflete knows she : bas held her tongue. 1 learned it ! from a source, of which you are ig- norant. But the fact. remains you Icheated, and if your friends knew it you would be ostracized by all of them," "As it they did not do these things themselves," retorted Mrs. Ward. "But since you have been so nasty I ' intend to be nasty too." ! "I shouldn't advise you to be nasty to me, Mrs, Ward. I have a Large re- serve fund of strength," I airs. Ward Laughed, "You needn't repeat my adjectives," she saki in her most frivolous manner. "If you want to know the way in which I intend to protect myself"— "What do you mean by that?" "I mean this," cried the little woman, growing angry all at once. "I am not going to be threatened about that un- fortunate episode connected with the cards. It was that horrid Mrs. Way - Seto who told you, so don't deny it, I am not going to be threatened with- out holding my own. Besides, I want Dorothy to marry your grandson." "Which one?" asked Derrington coolly. "You hare only Walter Vane." "Excuse me. George Brendon, wheth- er there is a marriage or not, is equally my grandson. I admire him very much, and it is my mind to acknowledge him as my heir." "I thought as much after your stick - leg. up for him the other day," said Mrs. Ward furiously. "Now, look here, 'Lord Derringto:p if Dorothy marries that Brendon creature I won't be able to do a thing with her. You know quite well I .won't. But Waiter shall be Dorothy's husband. I have made up my mind." "Because he's a Idol and putty in your hands." "I shouldn't be vulgar if I were you," taaid Mrs. Ward in a dignified man- ner. "But so long as George Brendon leaves Dorothy alone T shall say noth- ing." "That's really very good of you, Mrs. Taxd." ' "Your being nasty won't make me change my hind.

I assure you' Brendon Is a strong man, and his will is quite equal to mine." "Nonsense! Yon bare the strongest will in London." "And you come here to try to break it" "Lite Is a game," said Mrs. Ward, leaning back, with a pretty air of phi- losophy, "And at present I hold the trump card." "What is it?" asked Derrington, won- dering by what means she hoped to snake him consent to ber demands. "I'll tell you presently," saki Mrs. Ward in a most masterful tone, which "2'hat is the weapon with which MrS, ,Tcr*c!t was stabbed. amused Derrington, "But you un- ' deratand that if George Brendan doesn't keep away I shall give infor- mation to the police and have him ar- rested in connection with that mur- der."

Lord Derriugton clad not moved in diplomatic circles all his life without knowing bow to guard againet the display of emotion. With an uttotiy expressionless face he look- ed at the stiletto. It was a slender steel blade with a silver hgndle of renaissance workmanship, evidently a valuable and curious relic of the mid- dle ages. But Derrington stared at it • as though he knew nothing about it. "Well," said Mrs. Ward sharply and rather disappointed he did not grovel on the instant, "what do you say?" Derrington looked at her in rather a humorous manner. "What do you want me to say?" he asked. "Confess tbrit I killed Mrs. Jersey and then brought this weapon earefully home in my pocket for you to discover and use against me?" "That is a subterfuge," said Mrs. Ward. "You did not expect to find me waiting for you, and you never meant that dagger to be discovered, Lord Derrington." "I certainly never did," he assented heartily. "I cannot imagine how you came to know more than I did." "What do you mean?" asked the lit- tle woman sharply, "Web, you see," said Lord Derring- ton errinston quietly, "this is a very clever bit of business on your part, but so far as I am concerned it has nothing to do with me. I never saw that weapon before." "Oh, that's rubbish!" said Mrs. Ward with a mirthless laugh. "I found it in the pocket of your fur cont on the very"— "You say you found it there," said Derrington meaningly. '"Do you deny that it was in the peaket?" "Certainly.

"In tbe pocket?" asked Derrington politely and perfectly calm. Mrs. Ward hesitated. Then she faced him defiantly. "I am so sure of my ground," she declared, "that I don't mind saying it wasn't exactly in the pocket. There was a bole in the pocket, and the dagger had slipped down into the lining between the inside fur and the outer cloth. It lay sideways, and what with its position and the heavy tur"— "I could not have kflown it wad there," finished Derrington, balancing a paper cutter on bis forefinger.
