CHAPTFIR XV.
Seven years ago the reader caught a
momentary sight of orze nl. Vergueil,
:naming- in a brown :study at the door of
Mitseri's Hotel in Constantinople. This
plan:man wee a figure in the police de-
partment of Paris and enjoyed a higherepu-
tenon for both tistuteness end good fortune.
But like others seriongst the astutest and
the happiest, he found one thing denied
hien, and he so puzzled ever the one case
which baffled his intelligence that his fain
ere in this respect left, a drop of gall at the
bottom of every cap of success ho quaffed.
Inc governments of three or four countries
had unitedly agreed to leave in M.Vergueirs
hands the investigation of a series ot rail-
way robberies. He had started on his work
with eomethine like certainty, and bit by
bit, his case had melted away between his
fingers. It became a forlorn hope in the
drat six menthe, and M. Vergueil became a
man with a grievance. He laid hands on
sores of notorious criminals, he had
brilh-
aa successes by the dozen but he had made
nothing whotever of the great railway
robberies, and his disappointment clouded
him.
M. Vergueins business bad brought him
to London. Forged notes of the Bank of
France had been put in circulatian at Monte
Carlo and Spa pretty extensively and had
heett chapped here and there in snriall quan-
tities in the great cities of Europe. The
imitation of the hundred -franc note was so
ecirairable thut only an expert could be re-
lied upon to detect, the difference between
it and the aetual mere of the bank. M.
Vergiteins inquiries had led him to the be-
lief that the at of the forgery was in Eng-
land, and both in lighting upon the original
track and in following it up he had so far
been blessed with even more than his usual
good fortune.
IIe. had taken up his headquarters at the
Westminster Hotel, and sitting in his room
immersed in thought Over a cigarette and a
glees of sugared water, he found himself
awakened by the living accents of a, voice
which wan at, that moment speaking to his
fancy's ear.
"Mr. Ronald Morton," said the voice.
M. Vermeil set his whole soul in his ears
and lietened. Ho might hear nothing
werth hearing, but on the other hand he
wat e gentleman who never !tinned a
chance, and he was peculiarly anxious to
neow all that could be known of the owner
of this perticular voice. The room in which
he sat end thee, in which the conversation
was going on communicated by a door,
which wee for the present locked on
one gide alld belteti en the other.
M. Vergueit noiselessly kicked off his
:nippers, and croming the room with
a cat -like 'nicety of tread, dropped on his
knee e with hie ear to the key hole, and so
stayed. The watchful grin upon his face
was a study for intentness, but, every now
and then as the conversation went on the
mere ghost of a smile flickered across it
end at the mention of Mr. °Won's name
hie eyes sparkled brightny for a single
second. In his eagerness to hear he hard-
ly dared to breathe, and to let his .breath
g.iiilently he clenched his teeth with hie
lip drawn away from them in a curiously
ghastly smile. When at last Heaton ad-
dreaeed his interlocutor as Mr. 1Vilham
Reid the detective geve euch a start that
his heed came into oontact with the door
knob, and for a little while between his
rage at his own elurneiness, his fear that he
ad betrayed a listenerns presence, and the
actual physical pain of the blow, he lost
knowledge of what was going on. The
net thing that came clearly to him was
the gallant captain's noisy and defiant:
"Good morning." He heard the door open
Ana cloae, and listened to the footetepe in
the corridor, and hastily snatching up a
mar el boote in order to have some oaten -
Ne reason for quitting his cbamber, he
siodged eateirke to the head of the stairs,
awl peered after Memos. Hump and Heaton.
Ire withdrew his head swiftly as the Cap-
tain looked about him, and glued -himself to
the wall of the corridor. Therewae a little
enema betweenthepair, and the detective's
etrained ears caught the rustle of paper
only. Then he heardHeaton's voice saying,
"That's ali, my boy. That was the
voitenber of the bond on top of the pile.
They were lying on his table."
Mr. Vergueil admitted to his detra,etors
Oust he wail lucky. Re had a little satiric
habit among them of attributing all his
euceees to the unbought blessings of for-
tune, but as he walked quietly back to his
room heowned that no such stroke of luck
as thie had ever come to him. He had giv-
en William Reid up this half dozen years,
had abandoned him with grief and wound-
ed pride. '-He had longed for him as men
only long for the unattennable ; and being
a person of a quick and vivid temperament
had semetimes gritted his teeth in sudden
rage at the manner ix which he had been
el -uteri. And now the delightful, nnhoped
for, tenettainable thing, the fabled t„bid of
contentramit whom men follow forever and
who will not allow himself to be caught,
male to him without even a call, and
perched upon Inn band. The eminent de-
tective was buppier than if he had heard
that some dead•lillionaire had bequeathed
him ail hie belongings. Ire sat in his own
room smiling radiantly, and gripping one
kand with the other, as if he were Oinking
kande with himself in a delighted eelf-con-
gratulation.
He listened for the movements of the
reset rootn'e ocoupante and allowed his mind
ta play ahcrue him in charmed speculation.
it was no wonder tbet he had not been
able to trovek William Reid into -the wild -

It was no eommon littieecitundrel who had
haried himself for seven yearn in the earth's
darkest places to build up a barrier be-

blood fluelied at the faney. He loved a

air Of littering forgotten something, Ann
Blanched !briskly up the stairs. As he went
he draw ifroln his pocket a bunch of keys,
calmly selected one, and went on dangling
it betwenn life thumb and finger. Ho walk-
ed straight to Ronald. Morton's room, and
with the iineolence and aplomb begotteneif
long eerhice unlocked the door, passed
through, I and secured it by the bolt on the
other other aide. He took a survey of the
place. a portmanteau stood in one corner
of the ronin, and dropping on his knees; be-
side it he selected from Ins bunch of pass-
keys one that looked likely ler the purpose
and tried it in the lock. 1
"That will be a work of. time," he said.
"The toe - ie a patent. Verv well, I will
try elsewhere first."
The to k of the wardrobe offered no dif-
ficulty, a d thore before him on the middle
shelf lay a great pile of Austrienthends.
He smi d placidly, and drew 'from hie
pocket a memorandum book, on one peer
of which vas pasted a clip of newspaper.
He CO11811 ted bho cutting and the number
of the to most bond. Then he smiled anew,
more pia idly even than before, and ex-
tracting single sheet front the middle of
the pile e folded it deliberately and put it
into his remit pocket.
f relocked the wardrobe, walked
r and listened there for a moment,
ng out to the corridor, was in his
own roomin a twinkling.. He stayed there
but a v ry little while, drawing on his
gloves with a thoughtful look.
"That ill do," he said. "I can enlighten
Mr. Fres at once. He can be trusted to
hold his ongue until the proper moment,
and he has waited long and patiently
enough t deserve a, little hope."
He ma id down stairs, ordered a cab and
being driven to Park Lane alighted at the en-
tranee ell a mansion there, and tendering
his card, asked for Mr. Frost. Mr. Frost
was not et honie, but M. Vergueil extract-
ed front the footman the • intelligence that
his mader had gone to the fancy fair, that
that dayopeued at theAlhertntall. Thither
M. Vergueil pursued him, and after a pro-
longed weridering about the hall found the
object on his :search. The detective was not
a man w to permitted himself easily to be
surprised, but for the mernent he was
knocked all abroad by an unexpected coin-
cidence. Mr. Frost was unge,ged in ani-
mated converse with no loss a. person than
inhit; lent a certain piquancy to the
Ronald rorton. After the first shock of
surpre
situatimi to his mind.
Tile two men stood near a stall over
which anpeared the names of Lady Me-
Corquodeile, Lady Mabel Ventnor, and Miss
Grey, aid one stately old lady and two
pretty yt4ung ones were listening together
with 3fr Freest whilst the eminent traveler
talked. 'M. Vergueil approached the group
with a. sUbtle triumph etireing sweetly at
his heasei He raised his hat with quite a
grand air.
"Pard( n my intrusion," he said, in Eng-
lish a Mete more set and deliberave than
natieee ute, and only faintly notioeable for
its accent. "Permit me to recall myself to
the memory of Mr. Frost, with whom I
have one moment's urgent business."
"No M.,ed to recall yourself," said Frost.
"Excuse tne for a single instant," he added
to the ladies.
"A sin le instant," eohoed M. Vergueil.
"No mor e"
His iac gae no sign, but he had not of-
ten in he life felt so happy. He bad taken
the prose niter from under the nose of the -
criminal, and had left tho trapped rascal
there sec re. It was a beautiful sensation,
an apt re ard for seven years' patience, a
fitting s laoe for seven years' disappoint-
ment. . in Humphrey Frost's millions
nnede his progress across the hall a little
difficult. He was waylaid with fascineting
smiles, ai d wheedled by a score of insinu-
ating tongues. He parted with a good
many sovereigns and five pound notes en
route, for he had gone there ready to be
pinched, end accepted the propose with a
smiling udbeniey. At last he was through
the crowd, and drawing Vergueil into the
conservatory turned viand and fatted him.
"Voir heve made a discovery?" he *eked.
"I have made a discovery," Vergueil
anewered.. He took tbe bond from his
pocket and kid it in Frost's hands.
"Is then one of My Austrians!" Frost
asked after looking at it.
"That 1 is one of your Austrians," an-
swered Vergueil, like *polite (mho.
"How did It come into your hands?"
"I stole it," whispered Vergueil. "I stole
it from the thief this afteraoon. He has a
rilttee of them in his possession."
. "Have you arrested- the man?" Frost
asked.
"Not yet, At present that would be in-
disereet: . He looked cautiously about
him, and having made sure - that they
wore out : of esrshot he added in
a low tone, " I am here on gov-
ernment businese. 1 have reason to think
that 1 hare my hand over the forgers
of French banknotes! The men in whose
poesessiou I found -the bonds isone of the
gang, and the same people who are issuing
the counterfeit notes seem one and all to
be implicated in the railway robbery in
which your bonds were lost In telling you
this ?dr. Frost,, / need not say that I rely
absolutely upon your silence. I do not speak
of beefiness of this kind to everybody, but
I have already had such excellent- proof of
your dieereition that I know beforehand that
I risk nothing in telling you. _ I thought
you had a right to know, and I give the
information as soon as possible, in the as-
surance that you will keep it 113 secret as
the grave."
_Humphrey Frost was a, very considerable
personage, but Mr. Vorgueil took a tone
of quiet authority with him which he in no
wise remented.
"You may rely upon MV silence," he re -
!mended simply. "May 1 go back to the
Wire? Wouli yon like me to introduce
you? Vim are aware that Mr. Vergueil is
a distinguished figure. Everybody knows
of him, everybody talks of him, but nobody
has the good fortune to meet !line"
"klood fortune?" said Vergueil, "that
depends. It is not everybody who thinks
it good fortune .to encoantor me. But/ beg
ou to excuse me from the honor oi an in-
troduotiou, 1 am Tike the highway-nann of

heart could have kept the girl from swept -
Mg so brillieut an offer from so excellent
man as Humphrey Frost. Harry felt warm
and frieadly to his rival, as an honest !oven.
may when he knows that the rival's pros.
enc. brings no danger.
"I will keep my alias," he said to binn
self, as he walked with a resolute footetep
up and down the room, hurried into [Aryan
sal motion by the tumult of his mind. "I
will keep my alim until I have unmasked
these scoundrele, bat not -an hour beyond.
It is mote than my right to proclaim my-
self, it is a duty. I must repay the old
man tho money he spent to clear me. I
must tell Inthia who I am, and ask her if
she ean take her loves bask again. I hays,
been a, fool toe often to dare to brag of wis-
dom now, but, Clod knows I have tried hard
to atone to my own heart, and I know hum-
bly that I am a better man thau I was when
.1 went away."
His mind 'anis these grooves for hour".
At ono minute he melted at the thought of
Inthia, and at the next he felt a solemn
exultation over the rascals who had broken
him.
No man lives at high premure for ever,
and even a lover, and the hero of a reel
tragedy, will Ea- momenta of refit and
quiet. Harry ordered luncheon in his men
room, sun sttaoked it with something like
his desert appetite, is spite ot the exercises
of love and war upon which he was engaged.
Then in due time he drained with an un-
itarian scrupulous mire, and betook hirrnelf
to the limey fair at the Albert Hall, drs.vru
thither by the advertised fact that Inthia
had partial charge of one of the stalls. He
could see her and be neer her, could speak
to her and hear her voice, and his pulses
sang with a tender triumph at the thought
of her truth, her goedness and her boteuty.
He was not quit of the shame of his old
errors and follies, nor, to do him justice,
was ho the num to ask to be qvit of it eintil
he had paid hla penalties in fail, and bad
made contemns and restitution. He would
owe a lifelong devotion even then. But
there was yet a delight in standing behind
the veil of his alias, and in watching as ie
were unseen the workings of that generous,
unforgetting heart. - How many women
were there in- the nvorld, he asked hirn
self, who could lieveekept faith unimpaired
through such dark days as he had left her
to? His he -knelt before her in pure
worship, as if she were a saint enshrined.
The great commonplace, have their way
in apite of all herbisme and passione. The
crowd at the Albert Hall was as flippant,
as uninteresting, and as bauale as a crowd
nsually in to a stranger in its midst. He
was there with his emotions, and the
fashionable mob was ina.ppropiate. He
was recognised, followed about, pointed at.
He was the target, for hundreds of pairs of
delicately held tortoise -shell rimmed glasses,
and of scores upon scores of aingle eye
glasses. People pressed upon hint with
that impertinent and intolerable scrutiny
wbich is only seen in well dressed assem-
blies,. By and by other celebrities turned
up, and to his hags contentment drew the
attention of the crowd away. He was free
to seek and to find Inthia's stall, and there,
standing in front of it, he found his old
acquaintance and long-standing rival
Humphrey Frost, who had already bought
so much that he was unlearned to buy more.
The stall was half denuded by hie pur.
chimes, and Lady McCosquodele was in
majestic kigh spirits with the inagncence
of her receipts.
Mr. litunphrey Frost We introduced to
the distinguished traveller, and shook hands
with him witheub a suspicion of his inden-
tity.
"Mr. Merton," said Lady McCorgeodele,
"was with onr poor dear Henry 'at his
death. Tbe poor boy was shot down at Ins
side, and Mr. Merton himself was danger-
ously wounded at the mane moineet."
'At tkis remit began to question warmly,
mud whilst the conversed** was still going
on a smooth gentleman of foreign exterior,
with a scarcely perceptable foreign accent,'
approsched tke pair and drew the million-
aire away.
"You will understand, Mr. Morton," said
her stately ladyship, "how very natural it
is that your return to England should bring
poor Harry to Mir minds again. Ho was
always our favorite, and we can never for-
get him, but there is ti freshness about his
memory now." The old lady's dark eyes
were simpiniouely brilliant, but she contiuu-.
ed with her usual dignity. "He did not
know what he was running away from. Lt
is quite poesiblis that if he had lived he
would 'loose been the head of the family.
My father is ninety-nisre yeas of age, Mr.
Morton, and in the course of nature he can-
not lent much longer, but in constitution ho
is scarcely older than Lord Holmes.
Charles Sitaforth, Lord Trounce's son, is a
cionfirmed valetudinarian, He has been
married thirteen years, and has no family.
Colonel Soutortb, poor Harry's Uncle, who
was next in the line, is dead, though his
life teemed to be worth the other three
put together. And so you sec if the poor
foolish boy had lived he would have been
very near to the earldom of Bridgebourne
now. You must forgive mo for speaking of
these thingS to you, but Harry was a com-
rade of yours, and I can sets that you cared
fax hint. Yon will not be impatient ab
the recital of shn old woman's trouble.'
How little, he thought, he lied
known that they all cared for him.
Half the past was obliterated in
his mind. He forgot and was willing to
forget the angry opposition which her lady-
ship had offered to him. That at least was
buried with the past.
That sunburned and massive exterior the
traveller had brought back with hint show-
ed nothing of the tender riot in his heart.
He and Inthia had saluted eack other to aLl
appearance after the most casual and corn-
monplacenashion. But he oould not fer his
soul keepi out of his eyes for the one brief
second during which they rested on hers a
hint of tke woiship which filled his natirel.
She had grown to be a finished woman of
tho world, and waenot to be scared ant of
her self-possession by an ardent glance.
Her looks were all the cooler for it, but the
glance fluttered her strangely. Sbe won-
dered a little that she was not angered by

must needs look at him again. Thet in-

and dashed an untranslatable message from
each to reel'. Shelelt a vivid blush dye her

freightezen her, abused himself savagely,
