" Bless her sweet face 1" said an told
woman. "She's an angel from heaven 1"
And then she recounted a story of kind
deeds which made my heart warm as I
listened with my back partly turned, for
I did not wish to draw attention upon
myself. There was no harm in my listen-
ing ; what the old dame said was for
was ewerybody's ears, areal her gratitude 1 s so
profound thatshe would have trumpeted it
to all the world bad it been in her power.
Her story was followed by others from
those who had received kindness at Miss
Haldane's hands. Generally in such scenes
there is to las detected an element of
dissent or discontent from some carper, a
discordant note which nears the harmony,
but it was not so here ; the affection
expressed for the young lady at the hienor
Hoose was perfect and sincere.
This set me thinking,; Hitherto I had
felt no curiosity concerning the t,urevealed
matter of business upon wiaich I had been
summoned to Chudleigh Park, and I had
assented to Mr, Haldane's request to see
nae for the sole reas;,n ;hate desired to make
the acquaintance of Rachel Diprose and
jnd�'e for myself whether she was a girl
likely to make toy son happy. Butnow
my attention werelereil from her to
master of the estate, I had become inter-
ested in his daughter, and should be glad
of an opportunity to servo her. Why this
thought should obtrude itself in connection
with my mission, the particulars of which
I had yet to learn, I may he permitted to
explain.
Mr. Uald'inc• had requested me to Bail
upon lihn on a little ailattrir of business.
Well and good ; that sounded innocent
enon.h and as if there WAS not much is it,
Inst 1 knew better ; my experience had
tarot one that there must be a great deal
in it. Mr. Haldane wished to see me, and
had. seheteted me as his agent, because of my
previous ernneetionwwith a private inquiry
Oleo which had already executed some eom-
missions for him. Now, waren a fa -Mimeo

nature, hexing taught nm Agreat deal witch
would greatly disturb per -ons of a delicate
tura; of mind to know. What concerns the
gentle man directly concerns his iiunediaate
$amity indirectly ; if he leers exposure he
store there is some dis ia2a attaching to it,
and aiegra.e to him nteanstlisgracetothem.
Why, there are numbers of otiie.e in Lon-
don which are filled with ghosts and
skeletons. You enter one and see
neatly arranged on shelves a num-
her of tin. boxes, each securely
hotted, and each with a mute or mark upon
it. denoting to whom it belongs. Theplaee
you stand in is a sepulchre. The boxes,
*mothered with dust, upon which you ,axe,
are coffins in which ugly skeletons are bur-
ied. Cpen one and up the mystery jumps
and stares you in the face, shocking your
eeneibUiitice and causing you to raise your
handsinama': ementat the revelation. What!
Year old friend, whose name shall not be
mentioned here, who poses before the world
as the pink of morality, as a man of stainless
eharacter and bouour, a philanthropist, per-
haps, or a Statesman,or a teacher of morals,
whose homilies upon conscience edify the
public—is it possible that he could have been
guilty of this foul wrong? °cite possible,
my friend. Do not be too curious to pry
into the hidden life of the man or woman in
whose society you delight, and whose pre-
sence hi your home gives pleasure to you
and your wife and children. Turn your eyes
inwards, and let sleeping ghosts lie.
And here a word in solf•defeuce. I am
aware that harpies are everywhere to he
found whose aim is to discover some incl.
dent in a man's career which does not reflect
credit upon him, and the knowledge of which
may be used as a means of extorting money
from bit, under threat of exposure. Unfor-
tunatelythere are few persons of middle age
who have not at some time or other been
guilty of error, and a wide field is therefore
open to these human vultures, who thrive
upon the folly and misery of their fellow
creatures. 1 could mention the names of
established firms who make a speciality of
this kind of discreditable business. Men and
women who have been more sinned against
than sinning are hunted down, and so tor-
tured and robbed and threatened. that their
lives are made one long despair. I wish
some fitting punishment could be devised
for the mongrels who pursue these methods,
but 1 fear that erring human nature will
continue to supply them with the weapons
with which theyfighttheir infamous battles.
On the -other hand, there are firms whose
business is carried on in a fashion asbonour-
able as its peculiar nature will allow, and
who would as soon commit murder as trade
upon the secrets which come into their pos-
session. The confidences entrusted to them
are sacred. Such a firm is Barlow and Co. ;
its transactions have always been conducted
in a respectable and honourable spirit, and I,
as once a memberof it, and speaking for those
who now conduct it, say that they or I
would scorn to take advantage of any lady
or gentleman whose private affairs have been
confided to our keeping. So much for my-
self. I have never done, and never shall do,
anything of which I have reason to be
ashamed. Even if I had no son George to
keep me straight I should not wander into
crooked paths, whatever temptation might
be held out to me.
Well, then, I argued this way. Mr. Hal-
dane had sought my services in a matter
which, dragged before the public, would
cause unhappiness to the young lady who
seemed to be loved by everyone who knew
her, and who was spoken of as an angel
from heaven. Interested in her happiness
was a young girlmy son George worshipped.
For his sake, for my own, for the'iteke of
Rachel Diprose, and last, but nob least, for
the sake of sweet Miss Haldane, I would
undertake the task which Mr. Haldane had
it in his mind to entrust to me. When Miss
Haldane was happily settled Rachel would
consent to make my George happy. It was
clearly my duty, therefore, to do what I
could towards Miss Haldane's happy settle-
ment in life. Aroundabout way of reasoning
I dare say, and founded upon mere conjec-
• ture. How far I was right or wrong will be
seen as we go on.
I had wondered out of the beateh paths
during my musings,ar✓1 now I wandered into
them again, andmixd.i with the holidayfolk.
Hearing the voices of children singing I
walked forward and stood on the outskirts
of the circle of people who were listening to
it honour ofr". Qs Haldane, dot to an original
the pleasant performance. The school
children were marshalled in order, and had
just commenced what I afterwards was tohl

the organist, who conducted Inc awn com-
position, had provided himself withaviolin,
upon which. he performed to my satisfaction
—not that I am much of a kedge—and ap-
parently to the satisfeetiun of the gentry who
stood upon the rise of a (molehill, witnesses
of the pretty scene. The children, who all
had new frocks on, had been carefully drill-
ed, and sang admirably. The schoolmistress
kept them inline, and the or;anistflourished
his how ; and standing by himself was the
local poet, with his hands clasped, listening
to his verses in a state of agonised rapture,
conw-ineed, no doubt, that the eyes of the
word were upon him. The song ended,
there was a great deal of applause, in
which the gentry joined with animation,
talking and smiling among thennselves, and
then from the general body of the audience
came one bold voice which cried " Ong-
kore," for which the village butcher was
respopsible. The poet bowed, and these
/lashed violently, the bold ery was taken
up by ono anti another, faintly at first, but

whispered instructions from the school-
utistrees to the children, the song was sung

monstrations of approval- One of the chil-
dren who sang the solo part was called up to
the; entry, and a youn" lady tormented her
with a hoot. Who that young lady wan

Haldane," whieh were lustily and heartily
given without regard to the moiler. The

him which, of course, et the distance I was
from her I could not hear : but he shook
bis head and waved his hand, a$ match as to
say, " No, the honour is, yours ; I have no
share it it." This may have been just, lout
it was not gracious I thought. I estttlal not
dwell upon it, however, for the reason that
my attention WO ehii:lly tieta upau Mies Hal-
dane. The most beautiful seta+one of the
year is spring, as. tt is the moo be.nutifui
season of life, and surely a sweeter exempla
ficatian of this was never seen than in the
person of Mies .Haldane, Her fate was the
Loveliest I had ever beheld, and there was a
quality of goodness in it which nttrauted oto
and completely won my heart ; it seemed to
influence alt surrounding things and to in-
vest them with somethingof her owu charm
of sweetness and tenderness. When sloe
dismissed the happy child who had sunse the
solo she called up the organist, agrey-haired
man, and said a few words to him which
brought a light into his eyes, and then, in
obedience toiler command—for was sloe not
truly Queen of these pleasant hers?—the
poet came forward to receive his need of
praise and thanks. He behaved very sheep-
ishly, and scarcely tiered to toucan the hand
she held out to him, but the trying and
triumphant ordeal was soon over, and he
retired to dresm of future false an glory.
At this moment a man, who had approach-
ed one without my observing him, touched
my ATM
"You are a stranger here," he said.
"Yes," I answered; "I only arrived to-
day."
" Mr. Haldane," said the man, " has
sent me to inquire who you are."
I took a card from my pocket on which
my name was printed, without my address,
simply " Mr. Millington," and handling it
to him, said that perhaps he would take it
to Mr.Haldane. He looked at it, looked at
me, andwent away, I saw him give the card
to 1\ Ir. Haldane. Returning soon, the man
said.
"Mr. Haldane would like to speak to
you."
I followed him, and observed that Mr.
Haldaue was moving away from his compan-
ions, with the evident intention of speaking
privately to me. Upon our coming together
the man who had eonductedmestoodalittle
apart.
" I saw you among the people," said Mr.
Haldane, " and knew you were a. stranger."
" You have sharp eyes," I thought, but I
said nothing to that effect, only that I had
written to him that I was coming to Chud-
leigh Park in compliance with his request.
" I received your letter," he said, " but
you did not infirm me you were coming to.
day." He paused a. moment. "I cannot
speak to you till to -morrow.
"That will be convenient to me, sir," I
said.. "I see that you have your hands full
now."
"Yes," he replied "and I am afraid we
cannot give you a bed at the hall. We have
a number of guests, and every room is oc-
cupied."
" I can obtain accommodation at the vil-
lage," I remarked.
"No doubt," he said, and called to the
man who had brought me to him. " Simp-
son, see that this gentleman has a room
somewhere in the village tonight."
" Yes, sir," said Simpson.
I was suLprised at his reference to me as
" this gentleman," but I set it down to his
not wishing to make my name known. One
thing leads to another, you see, and wheu
you wish to keep things dark you cannot be
too careful But he could not keep •my
name from Simpson, who had seen it on my
card.
"That is all, I think," said Mr. Haldane.
" I shall be disengaged to -morrow at
twelve."
"I will call upon you punctually, ser," I
said.
He nodded and walked away, but he had
not gone a dozen yardsbefore lie turned and
beckoned to ane. I went to him, Simpson
stopping discreetly at a distance.
PO You need not say- anything," he said,
"about my sending for you."
"No one shall know,; sir," I said.
He nodded again and walked off, this time
for good,
CHAPTER III.
Simpson did not join me immediately.
He waitedtill Mr. Haldane was out of sight,
and then he sauntered towards me with a
careless, unconcerned air, as though the idea
of introducing himself had just occurred to
hili. There is something in the manner
and :gearing of certain classes of men
which at once betrays their calling. For
instance, a jemmy. Seeing one for
the first time, who could mtatakee him 2
You took at his face, and you 'won, -

roads after a long voyage. A butcher,
too. It is impossible for inn to disguise
himself. In private life he is generally re-
spectably dressed ; his clothes are remark-
ably now, and his boots and hats have a
wonderful polled), on them ; but you cast
just one glance at him, and you see the
inner man, in flannel apron, knife in hand,,
with a e' buy, buy, buy," expression on his
features. The same with valets and body-
servants. The smoothed half -sliding, balt'neonhdeni motion of the thr
bodies, the cut of their clothes, when they
wear their own, the quietly observant eye,
unmistakably proclaim their calling. It was
Simpson's, as 1 correctly judged ; he was
Sir, Haldane's valet, and it was not long
beforehe volunteered the information, which
was thrown out as a feeler, and as an invita-
tion to a like confidence ou my part. Bat
I wass on my guard ; my plan was to ask
questions, and to answer as few as possible.
5a I fenced and parried, and Simpson made
no demur. This gave me a high opinion of
his abilities, for I felt that he was the sort
of menta wile never xnegleetezl an opportunity
of worming Waned!' into other peoples
eeerets ; that he should ON press no (asap•
=ointment at my curt answers proved histo
to be something better than za. tloytce.

conversation. Upon my prompting he fur-

naturally, into other subjects.

Wo had walked out of the park and into
the village while we were conversing, and
Simpson stopped before a publie•hoase
called "The Brindled Cow."
" You can get a bed here," he said. " I'll
come in with you and make it all right with
the landlord."
"And perhaps," I said, "you won't mind
taking a drink with me. I feel a little
strange, being in a strange part of the
country, and shall be glad of company. If
ever you conte to London we might spend an
evening together."
I wanted to dispel any bud impression I
might have produced upon him, but if I
bad thoughttwice I should not have thrown
out the hint. He took it up quickly.
"I'll drink wits' you with pleasure," he
said ; "and I'll spend an evening with you
in Londou when I've got one to spare.
What's your address?"
I was fairly beaten, I own, and, without
giving him offence could not refuse to tell
him where I lived. So at his request I wrote
the address in a pocketbook he produced.
Then we went into the "public."
The arrangement for a bed was soon
made, Simpson saying a few words apart to
the landlord ; after which I inquired hat
particular tipple my new friend preferred,
and asked the landlord to join us.
"Spirits just before going to °beet," said
Simpson, "beer in the morning, and port
wine in the evening. That's my system.
The laudlord has a good bottle of port wine
in his cellar."
It being evening now, I called for the
bottle of good port wine, in accordance with
Simpson's system, and then, at his sug-
gestion, we adjourned to a small room in
which there was a bagatelle table, and began
to drink and smoke and play. I could have
beaten him easily, but to gain his favour
completely I allowed him to beat me, and
as he pocketed the twopences for which we
played I saw that losing was a winning
ganie forme. I drove another nail in by
remarking that I had had no dinner, and
asking would he join me. Certainly he
would, he replied; it .was all hurry -scurry
up at the Hall ; and if I wanted to know
what duck and green peas were like, the
landlord of The Brindled Cow would show
me.
" When he puts his mind to it," said
Simpson, "he can serve up a dinner fit for
any gentleman in the land."
So the dinner was ordered, and we con-
tinued to play bagatelle till it was ready.
"You're a man after my own heart,"
said Simpson, as he polished off the choicest
slices of the dunk, and ladled down the
green peas, which really were delicious.
"I didn't take to you at first, but it shows
how a man may be mistaken. What's all
that row about outside?"
The landlord, who entered to attend to
our wants, replied that Miss Haldane had
come from the park to the village, to see
how the people were enjoying themselves ;
but the sounds we heard were the reverse of
festive. A woman's shrill voice and excited
murmurs reached our ears. Simpson went
