For a few minutes Berne felt as a man does who is fortunate -or unfor- tunate -enough to pick up a letter in the street. He dishx't want to read it, and yet he couldn't find out to whom it belonged unless he did read it. With a feeling of curiosity and ex- eiternent he drew a (lair tip to the fh.e and commenced the perusal. But berm* he had got through a dozen lines the legal jargon made his brain swim and so eonfused hint that he had to begin over again. Ile had got to the length of half a deism lines when there came a knock at the door, and his man entered. liertie rose as if he had been disco in the act of committing a crime, and folding up the will, stuffed it behind the clock on the mantel shelf. -Mr. Vessel about the horse, my lord," eatt the man. lustantly tne. will was driven out of 13erlic'e mind.

"011, show hint up; no, wait," he add- ed, quickly; "Pll come down to. lane," arta putting the picture face downwards on the top cif the bureau he caught up Eni hie hat and ran downstairs. " .Mr. Vessel had a street deal to say - about the horse, twat' was „ particularly anxious that Lord Berne should go to a neighboring stable where a groom, who hnd some important information to dis- cloge, was waiting for them. Bertie consented and the two weut off, The valet mule up the fire, and began to deer tip the litter width his meter had. made. He earefealy collected the bits of the broken frame, and put them in the fire, end that they might burn the quicker, collected the (Ade and ends from the waste -paper basket, and added them to the heap, then he shook the • teeth, and Was sauntering to the win- dow. when there came a ring at the door. The valei looked over the balcony, and eeeirit that it was Mr. Mordaunt Royce, went ddiwn to answer the door. "Iris lordehip is not in," he said; "heee ;pat stepped out with Mr. Vessel." "Jr. Vessel!" said Royce, who also had an interest in the borse. "Do you think he will be long? 11 not, I will go upstairs and wait.' . "011, he won't be long, sir; he's gone • out without his overcoat; he can't be :natty minutes." "Then I'll go up and wait," seid Royce, and he walked upstairs into Bertie's re0111. Ho had come to thank Berne for his heroic conduct at the Coronet, and to smooth saver and eeplain his secrecy in iegard to his engagement to Miss Ida Trevelyan. Lord Bertie's tiger ease was on the table, and Royce lit a cigar and then sauntered up to the fire. As he did vo his eyes were attracted by the picture lying face downward on the burean. He went up to it and took it up carelessly, thinking that it would be either a, portrait of Bertie's horse or some famous ballet dancer. "Bertie's going lu for fine arts," he mused with a sneer, Then he turned the picture over, and with an exclamation nearly let it drop from his handl. It was the portrait of the Countess of Arrowfield, the portrait whichdle" had last seen in old Craddock's safe. For a moment Boyce was turned to stone, It seemed to him too incredible to be true. He carried it to the win- dow and examined it minutely. Yes, it was the original picturd; the picture that was so like Joan Ormsby, the picture whieh Craddock had had copied and so earefolly retained. But how did it come into Lord Berne Dewsbury's pdssession? "Can the .old idiot. Iwo given -sold it to hint?" inuttered Royce. -"Impos- sible! And yet five pounds would tempt the miserable hound!" Then he looked .again, and saw that Berne had forted it out of the old oaken frame. Why had he done that? The frame was a enriosity in itself, and of as much value its the picture. Happening to glance at the fireplace, lei saw a fragment of gilding, ited then the remeles of the frame smouldering in Lha fire. Mystified and alarmed, he stood with tha pieture in his band.

With hie hand to his brow, Mordaunt Royce tried to realize the situation, .1f Berne bad, not read the will, then he, 'Afordatint Royce, Was the only person who knew of its contents!

There was no time to be lost, Berne might be back at any moment. Desperate, almost frenzied with Phi- plexity, he strode up and down the room. Then suddenly as a streak of light- ning, an idea flashed upon him. Taking out his penknife he cut off a corner of the paper, without injuring the import. ant part of the document, and carefully putting the will in his pocket, went to the fireplace and held e the piece he had eut off to the flames. When about half of it was burnt, he let the remainder smoulder until it had become brown and then dropped it carefully on the hearth. He had scarcely completed this elab- orate preparation when Bertie entered. "Hallo, Royce!" he exclaimed. "Been here long? Sorry to keep you waiting. I ran out with Vessel, wanted to see me about the horse—" "Never mind the horse for a Moment, Dewsbury," he said, bolding his hani and pressing it fervently.
