It mate a wild night and there were but few passenge.xs, so that he had a compartment to himself. Be stood upright in order that hie might read by the light of the carriage Lamp a document in which his sorrows were set forth with a dreadful legal precision. This- document here the initials of royalty, and called upon Harry Wynne to appear on that day week at the Marlborough Street Police Court to answer certain charges pre- ferred against him by one William Henry Alexander Butterfield. The charges in- cluded fraud, the obtaining ot goods b lease pretences, and illegal pawning. Th reader felt hideously criminal, even in hi own consciousness of innocent intent. Th fact of criminality clung like tar. Nothin seemed capable of washing it away. The passenger by the continents' mail was not flying from the face of jttstica Ha was in pursuit o Herbert Whale, whose idiotic or diaboli counsel, whichever it might prove to be had brought him to this pass. Mr. Herber Whale, in leaving London at a critical m• meat, had taken the precaution not to hay his address where Harry seemed likely t,o find it. But a five -pound note had unlock ed the heart of the club porter, who had murmured "Grand Hotel de l'Athenee Perin" The young man was resolute to have Whale beck to Landon. to confess the advice that he had given. He would have him there, he declared to himself, if he haled him by the scruff of the neck on foot, and swam the Channel with him. He was U yet unconscious of the fact that the Rapide bore the fleeting Hump southward from Paris almost as fast as the mail train bore himself Paris -wards. That intelli- gence, however, reached him at what he !supposed would be his journey's end. Whale had pee to Nice, and though his letters were to be addressed at the - Poste Restate, Harry had but little doubt of finding him with ease. There were not more than half a dozen hotels in Nice to which he would be likely to go, and an hour's.inquiry would exhaust them. He passed a weary impatient day in Paris. The rain came down in one continuous deluge, and he sat mournfully -alone amid a profusion of sporting papers, which he tried to read in vain. Night came at last, and saw him started on his new journey. The skies shone blue in Nice, and the April air was soft and warria but the ohange of climate had no solace for him. He took e carriage at the terminus, and sought his man, wherever be could think of.. He could find no news of him, and at last decided to run on to Monte Carlo. No eentlernan of Mr. Whale's proclivities could rest so near the charms of roulette and trenee et quarante without being at- tracted by them. The Salle des Jena was the likeliest place for him, and thither Harry betook himself. He steered round every table, and satisfied himself that Whale was not there. He stalked up and down the atrium, sat drearily in the read- ing rootn, and for a while tried the con- • cart hall, aud did his best to listen -to the , music. He stayed that night at the Hotel de Paris, and went back to Nice next morn- ing to renew his search. He saw plenty of " people whom he knew, but had no heart to make up to any of them. By and by-, and the hunt had gone on now for two or three unsuccessfnl day, he began to have a, grisly feeling that none of his acquaintances cared to notice him. Once or twice he wonder- ed if a veil of invisibility had fallen round him. He bowed to Lady Dyaz and her daughters, and they went by him with a pertect unconsciousness, though he could almost have sworn that they had seen him, and he had danced with the eldest girl net seven weeks ago. This was not the only sign he had. People whom he knew became suddenly engaged in the contem- plation of trivial objects when he came in sight, and others had a suspicious knack of e going round corners, or of taking the other t side of the street. There was at Monte Carlo a certain t Lord Ballysteed, one of our hereditary legislators, a 'born stableman, though he a came of a excellent house, a disreputable, foul-mouthed young nobleman whom nobody h trusted, and who had crowned a life of o blackguard folly by marrying a ballet girl o of unusually blemished a.ntecedents. When t it came to this gentleman's turn to show n }Larry Wynne his buck, the young man's cup overflowed with a sudden and galling bitterness. He marched straight to his i lordship and tapped him on the shoulder p with his walk.ing-cane. "Good day, Ballystead." His lordship's ill-bred iscowl looked back- o wards. He stared blankly for five insolent seconds and turned away. Harry walked b swiftly around him. "Come, Ballystead,". he said, "one due t aot know you at home, but one can ipesk The lad's young blood w ei fired to you here.

The dis- cerning Hump thought it more expedient to lie still, but help was t hand for him and came at full speed from half a dozen quarters.

Lord Ballystea walked away, with his stable swagger, an with his a-alkingestick cocked defiantly un der his arm -pit. There are aot many ways of responding to a speech of that sort; in fact it may be sai that there are no more than two, but choice though limited, is difficult. There is noth ing for it but personal maltreatment o ailence, and whilst rage and dignity strug gled with each other in Herry's mind, hi lorship salved the disagreeable problem fo him by stepping into a puhlic carriage dos at hand and driving away. Here was the explanation of all averte looks or cold unrecognising glances. Harry wandered in the warm spring sunshin about the b-eautiful gardens scarcely derin to look up lest he should encounter sum new accusiug pair of eyes. This fit soon passed, and he was marching about in a conscious defiance of the world. Nobody had the right to brand him as a defrauder He welked back to the Casino, and on tared the playing room. It was early as yet, so far as the hour of the day went, but it was getting late in the season, and be- eween the two factors the tables were but thinly attended. Almost the first person -oho caught his eye was Hump, chastely attired in a chess -board tweed, languidly punting for louie at the trente et quarante. Harry moved quietly tewards him and laid a hand upon his shoulder. Mr. Whale turned easily round, apprehending an or- dinary acquaintance, and his nerves being ssomewhat eufeebled by the achievements of the previous night gave a slight start on re- cognizing his pursuer. "Conte outside a moment," said Harry, "I want, to speak to you." "Hold on a bit," returned the other; "I've gata ram an the black, and I went tgi follow it.' Almost as he spoke the croupier Galled "iouge gagne-" "There 8 your run on the black finished," said the young man soberly. "Come out- side. I want to speak to you.' Mr. Whale, not willing to make too great a show of unwillingness, gathered his little golden handful together and slipped it into his pocket. He had gone cool and self-pebsesssd again, and was quite insouciant to look at. They paused to- gether in the atrium, and Harry came to tlic point at once. "You have heard the aews about me and that affair of Butterfield's?" "No," said Hump, feigning astonishment and ignorance clumsily. "1 see you have," said the youngster, laying an unconscious hand upon the lap- pet of his coat, and holding hie. more Idightly than he knew. "You have got to mime stra.ight back with rw. to London." "Not much I havatet,". Hump responded, making an effort tip disengage himself. ; lie had already forgotten his initial profesiion tof ignorance, and made -no further pre tics that way.

On -a certain fine morning Mr. Rona d Morton sat in his own room with u lock ti door between him and the outer world. lilia wife tapped at the barrier, and was auswer ed in that sort of voice which evei•ybo y recognizes as being accompanied by a until The smiling voice is recognizable by 11 ears, and by none more readily than y those of love. Mr. MOrton was particular y engaged for:t•he moment, but would join ha 1 bride in ten minutes. - The happy litt e lady prophesied her whereabouts and trii - petraway. Her husband devoted himself to the consideration of a loose pile of busi- ness documents, which lay spread on the table before him. It looked as if he were even a wealthier man than he cared to pro- fess to be, for the loose little pile of bulgi- ness documents related mainly to valuablew deposited in banks of high , continental standing, here, there, and everywhere. There were acknowledgments of sealed packets deposited for safe keepipg with the Credit Lyonnais both at Paris and Marseil- les, with Messrs. Rothschild at, Vienna, Frankfort, and Naples, and with Mesera. Contts at London. The owner of these agreeable documents was engaged in check- ing them against an entry in a pocket -book he carried, and in ticking figures for a large amount against each various entry. He ad- ded together the amounts with a look of deep satisfaction, and coaxing the papers into order, returned them to a cash -box, which he locked and hid *way in the re- cesses of a great travelling trunk. He locked that in turn, and then presented -himself to his waiting bride. The little lady wanted money, and was away upon a shopping expedition. The fond young husband supplied her lavishly, gave her 0, parting kiss, saw her away from the step of the hotel, and watolned the neat figure so it disappeared into the Grande Rue de Pers. He lit a cigarelte, and after standing for a moment or two with an agreeable smile upon his face, he also saun- tered into the thoroughfare, and turned to the right. A very few seconds' easy stroll- ing brought him in front of the rival and older hotel, which has so long flourished under the care of M. Misseri. In the dingy doorway of diet excellent hostelry stood a hook -nosed man in pince-nez, thoughtfully looking from his toes to the house opposite, as if he were instituting some comparison between them, but evidently so buried in thought that he saw neither. Mr. Morton, beholding this gentleman, gave a start so faint as to be scarcely perceptible, and swinging round upon his heel, walked leisurely homewards. The agreeable smile he wore still lingered, but a very close ob- server might have remarked an odd kind of strained attention in it, as if the smile were anxious to know if there were a footstep, or even so much as a look behind him. He went straight Welt to his bedroom, and there began to pack with some dexter- ity and rapidity. He took a last look round to see that nothing had been for- gotten, locked his great travelling chest and sauntered down stairs into the smok- ing -room. Two gentlemen sat there over a syphon -bottle and a cerafon - ot cognate sy were chatting animatedly, and * their talk employed indifferently Preneh aad 'Italian. "Vergueil is here," *aid one. 'He is staying at Mieseres. I spoke to hiss as hour ago. Of course he told me agthIng, but what else could have brought hat here!" "That is his business, aslike as anything," said the other. "I heard last Meat that spine of the notes had been changed at Hansard's." "It was cleverly done," said number one. "But these railway robberies are ,getting a little too frequent, eh? I wonder if it is alwaym the same gang. Of course it is not easy to dispose of valuable seourities, but they say that the last haul was for two mil- lions of francs. It would seem to be it pro- fitable line of business." "Dangerous, one would thiek," said Mr. Morton, smilingly. The two gentlemen laughed, and re- sponded, "Dangerous enough." The7Conversation ended there, and per- haps half aa hour later_ the sniffing little bride came bask again. Her husband met her with a grave and troubled face. "Sines you left, my dear," he said, in the gentlest tones, winding sitprotective arm about her waist, "I have received a tele- gram from Philipopolis. Poor Rae is dying there. I must actually go up and see him. You must go on to Athens with Ivan alone, and I wilt follow you as soon as possible." "Who is dying, dear?" asked the bride. "Poor Rae, my darling," her husband answered, "Dick Rae. You must have heard me speak of him." , "Idon't remember, dear," the bride an- swered with a downcast face. "No!" cried the husband with astonish- ment. "That's strange. Poor Dick went up into the rose country, to bargain for otto of roses. He thought, that vilith the war beginning he would be able to make rare bargains. I strongly advised him to go, poor fellow. I must go up and see him, if I can gee there in time. You see that, darling, don't you? You wouldn't care much for me if even the temptation of your society could keep me away from an old chum at a time like that." 1 He spoke tenderly and persuasively. The little bride put her arms about him. , "No, no, darling. You must go." "I knew YOU would say, so, dear. I have packed alre-arly." "May I see the .telegram?" asked the bride. "Certainly, my darling," responded the husband with alacrity, and instantly began a bright, confident search in his pockets. Then the brisk movements slowed down, and his face took an air of perplexity. "What on earth can have become of iet" he asked. Then with a quick smile*, "Oh! I know. I shoved it into my cash -box with a lot of papers I was looking at. The cash- box is at the bottom of the trunk, and ithi hardly worth while unpacking everything." Of course it was hardly worth while to unpack everything. The little bride sui- sented willingly to that proposition, and Mr. Ronald Morton began to make imme- diate preparatiens for the departure by the boat that evening. He was quite a model husband, and had the most contriving Way*. He assisted his wife and her maid in peek- ing, and overeame many small difficulties for her, and he was so tenderly regretful at their enforced parting, and igo full of pity and anxiety for poor Dick Rae, that the little woman ,became haunted by her own conception of; the drawn, dying, waiting face, and was as anger to have her husband gone as he himself was to go. , When all the preparations were completed the sympathetic young husband went book to his own room and dropping into a obafir there, sat thoniktful an silent for A ads. ate or two.
