Dillingham Company "I eanitot say, I am only telling you what Mrs. Jersey's lawyer told me, Lord I)erringtou bought this house from Mr. Ireland, who sold it on ac- count of tate last owner." "He did," said George, "The last owner was Mr. Anthony Lockwood; be waS"--- George had it in his mind to state that Lockwood was his grandfa- ther, but the time was not yet ripe for such a disclosure, and he said nothing at the moment. "lie was a singing master," be finished rather Iatnely. "Mr. Ireland told me all about him." ""That is all correct, so far as I know, Mr. Brendon. I dare say you wish to know why I saw Mr. Ireland. I did so on behalf of Margery Watson, as ,I wanted the girl to continue the board- ing house. I like the poor creature, and when her aunt died she was left very badly off." "Didn't :firs. Jersey leave any money?" "No. She lived principally on an an- nuity from Lord Ilerrington." "Alt," said Brendon, his suspicions becoming more and more confirmed, "so he allowed her an annuity. Why?" "I can't tell you that. But with the death of Mrs. Jersey the annuity nat- urally ceased. I asked Mr. Ireland about the lease and then sought out Lord Derrington. I represented to bhn the position of Margery Watson, and be was good enough to renew the ]ease in her name on my security." "Still by the year?" asked George. "Still by the year. So now the poor girl can live." "You are a good woman, Miss Bull, to help her in this way. It shows you have a good heart," said George. "Web, Miss Bull"—be rose—"you have told• me what I want to know. I hope to make use of it. In return for your confidence I should tell you"— "Tell me nothing," cried the old maid quickly. "I don't wish to hear your secrets. The less said the soonest mended. When Miss Ward becomes Mrs. Brendon," she added, with a dry smile, "you can send me a piece of wedding cake," "She will not become Mrs. Brendon," said George, shaking his head. "I will be frank with you, Miss Bull. My name is not Brendon." She rose from her seat and looked .at him steadily, perusing every line in his face. "I thought I had seen some one like you before. I see now—now— .-don't tell me your name is—is—but it's impossible." "My real name is George Vane. I ani Lord Derrington's grandson." The little woman looked at him wild- ly for a moment and then quietly slip- ped to the floor. She had fainted, and George rang the bell for assistance. Margery, who had evidently been lurk- ing outside, rushed in. When she saw her friend extended pale and lifeless ou the carpet she turned on George with „a furious face. "What bave you been doing to the poor darling?" she demanded. "You— you"— She raised her hand to strike, but Brendon caught her by the wrist. "I have been doing nothing," he de- clared. "'Miss Bull fainted unexpected- ly. Thank goodness here is some one." It was one of the servants, but Aiar- -gery waved her off. "No one but me— no one but me!" she cried and took the slender form of lier friend up in her ,.arms. "Wait beret' she added to George. "I'll be down soon." Brendon did not feel very comforta- ble. Ile saw that Margery was a kind ,of untamed animal 'who had been brought into subjection by Miss Bull. No other person could manage her, and should she return still in a passion Brendon feared lest she should use physical violence. Still he held his ground, as he was anxious to learn how the old maid was feeling and still more . anxious to find out, if possible, wiry she bad fainted on hearing his name. "I wonder it Mrs. Jersey told her any- thing," muttered George as he looked out of the window. "But that's im- possible. Mrs. Jersey would keep her own secret so as to terrorize over Der- rington. Besides, Bliss Bull declared that site recognized nay face. I won- der if she knew my father, and If she can throw any light on the murder. It is strange that she should be connected with the matter and live in the same hoarse as firs. Jersey. Z"•pOn my word," .said George in disgust, "it seems as though there were a gang of shady people here connected with My affairs. And she was moved by the mention of Dorothy's name. I wonder what that meant?" But whatever it did mean he did not learn that day. Margery returned and stated that Hiss Bull was better, but Vas too faint to resume the conversa- tion. She begged Mr. Brendon to call another day. Margery gave this mos- snge in quite a friendly way and nod- ded smilingly to the astonlshedtleorge. "You are better disposed toward tae," he said, taking up his bat. "Miss Bull told me to be kind to ;you," she declared, still smiling, and, thin, with a burst at good nature. "I will be kind, Do you ' ant to know tib "" oat the papers?" t pt "If you choose tea tell ate," said George) arttnlly. "There was n lenge In the green box, and assay bills," said Mergers, "a few plusto,gralllrrt,. tail that Was all. 1 • e'oultht't see the story." a "What story, 11I1ss Watson?" Margery nodded with a cunning smile and .answered in a whisper, as though her aunt was still alive and 'within bearing. "Sbe told me it was a Story she was writing. Ob, such a long story! Sheets and sheets of a story—foolscap sheets. She kept them in a long blue envelope and would not let me see them." George reflected that evidently 'Mrs. Jersey had beeu writing out an ac- count of her early life, and Margery's next words put the matter beyond a doubt, "My aunt said that she would let Inc have the story to read after she died. But I could not find it in the en hag." • *Perhaps you did not' look thorough- ," suggested George. Yes I did, and 1oo a in l 1 kd a1other •laces. But I could not find it.

"She said I wasn't to say a word about it, but she will not Le angry at my telling you. She likes iron, and says you are like some one She once knew and loved." Brendon did not pursue the eonver- gation. Ile left the house promising to tall again. With bis head filled with Many thoughts consequent on his two Interviews, be emerged from Amelia Square and walked down to Oxford Street. A shout aroused him from his Slay dreams as he reached the corner. ge saw a tall, red headed man cross - Ing the road and a cab was bearing down on him. The man stood para- lyzed in the center, and it was appar- ent that the horse would soon be on leim. George, almost without thinking, !dashed into the street and, seizing the animal, reined it back on its haunches eivith a powerful hand. There was a shout of admiration from the throng On the footpath, a few oaths from the driver of the hansom,, and the next Ininute the red headed man was thank- Ing'bis preserver on the pavement and shaking his hand violently. "Don't you think I'll forget it, sir," be said, with rather an American se - Cent. "You have saved Bawdsey, and 3awdsey can help you at a pinch." Brendon was too bewildered by this ;extraordinary address to take it ail in. ,Besides, the admiring crowd pressed around. Seeing this, Bawdsey took tains by the arm and ran him round the corner into a quiet street. George recovered and looked at the man he !tad saved. He was a tall man with a thin face, though his body was rather stout. His Lair was red, his eyes were blue, and tie had an alert manner about him !which made Brendon wonder bow such a sharp person ever came to place him - eel! in the position of being run over. But Bawdsey gave him no time to think. "What is your name?" be asked. "George Brendon." Bawdsey stepped back and a look tof genuine surprise overspread his freckled face. And he was apparently more astonished than he showed, as Brendon guessed by the trembling of Lis bands. "I have lived over fifty gears in the world," said Bawdsey, "and this is the queerest thing I ever dropped across. And 1 drop across barmy queer things, stranger." "WelI, Mr. Bawdsey, if that is your lime," said George good humoredly, "It is a good thing I have saved your life. But you seem as though you coutd"— "1 can—I on.,, interrupted Bawdsey, anticipating the remark. "But have ;you ever heard of that disease—fear of open spaces?" "No," replied Brendon. "What is ft?" "I shan't give you the medical name," Bald Bawdsey, "as you 'would not un- derstand, but it is a dread to eross any open space. At times it takes me un- expectedly, and I get a sort of paraly- sis of the will and cannot move. That was why I stopped iht the middle of the road. 1 should have been killed but for you." "Perhaps I hadbetter see you home, then," said Brendon. "No. I shall take a cab. It is only tow and then that the thing takes me. It can't be cured, and maybe it will get worse. At present it does not pre - rent me attending to my work. Cause home with me, and 1'li tett you move I live in 43 Amelia square." "What, in that Miasei" cried George, for this was the number of the Jersey Mansion. "Yes. What do you know of it?" "Nothing." "Olt, yes, you do, but you Won't trust tae.

It was a snowy winter's night when Brendon found her, Ile had just en- tered Pembroke square, wbere he had lodgings, when he heard a moan, Turn- ing aside into the shadow of a wall. he found a woman lying there exhausted with cold and hunger. Always anxious to do good, he brought the poor crea- ture to his rooms. Under the influence of food and wine and warmth she re- vived suilicleutly to tell her story. Her name, she stated, was Lola Velez. She was Spanish by birth, but bad lived many years in Italy. Trained as a dancer, she bad appeared at several of the best theaters with more or less success, but owing to her violent temper she had lost all chance of gaining a permanent position. She had danced her way to Paris through various small towns, but here. as else- where, her temper proved her ruin. Then she had crossed the channel only to find that the market was over- stocked with dancers. Unable to ob- tain employment rind having very lit- tle money, the unfortunate woman had fallen lower and lower until she was 'ednu"d to benzine in the street~. Fi- nally she was turned out of her poor lodgings and had expended her last sixpence on food. It was shortly after this that Brendon found her. Ile acted the part of a good Samari- tan. Giving her a sovereign, be sent her away, restored- in a measure to her right mind. The next day he saw ethe proprietor of a music hall with ovhom he was acquainted and pro- cured her an engagement, Her success was immediate. She en- acted her part with a reckless abandon and a wild frenzy which thrilled the house. For the moment Lola was not herself, but a wild Theban queen rag- ing in the orgies of the wine god. All London came to see the frantic revels over whlch Lola presided, and night after night the little music ball was filled to overflowing. Lola made good use of her fame. She insisted that her salary should be raised, took modest lodgings in Bloomsbury and foe a time saved her money ?as a provision against old age and poverty. On the stage she was a dancing demon, but at home no one could have been more modest. There was not a breath of scandal against her, in spite of Mrs. Ward's hitt to Brendon. This change in the formerly reckless woman was caused by love and grati- tude to George. He had saved' her from starvation, from death; he bad procured her the engagement which bad led to Ler success and present MILBURN'S Heart and Nerve Pills. ease. She desired him to =airy her altnd, figuratively speaking, east her 1 sell anti all she had at kris feet. Bren- don fauna this excessive gratitude ',Ober tt'yiug, liven then be was in 1 love with Dorothy, whom he had met twice or thrice, and he was not dis- posed to athe wild passion 1111162Lola so freelyccept offered to bite, Lela could not understand his cold- ness. She was accustomed to see men at her feet and to spurn them. Now thatoho teas willing to surreuder her liberty anti to give her love, it ex- asperated her to think, that the one (man she had chosen would bave none of Iter. As yet she knew nothing of Mention's love for Dorothy, but with the instinct of a jealous woman guess- ed that some such passion engrossed the mind of the man she desired to marry. Wearied of her persistency, Brendon stoppell away, and for a Pew weeks Lola did not see him, Them she Zinc LIS name in the papers con- nected with the Amelia square trage- dy and wrote to bim. Ile accepted her invitation and came to supper, less because of her desire than because he wished to speak to her about Bawd- sey. The name of Lola Velez on the lips of the red roan had startled Bren- don almost as much as the fact that Bawdsey appeared to be acquainted with him. Georgo could not recall meeting the man, and as he was not yet sufficiently famous for his name to be' on the 'lips of the public he won- dered how it came about that Bawd- sey knew of bis existence, Anxious to know who the snag was, he sent a note marked private to Miss Bull and received a reply stating that Mr. Bawdsey was a new boarder, and, so tar as she knew, a gentleman who liv- ed on his income. There remained Lola to question, and to Lola George went a nigbt or two after the rescue of the red man. George made up his mind, and a strong mind it was, tbat be would not leave Lola until he knew positively how Ler name came to be mentioned by Baiwt:sey. Having just returned from the mu- sic hall, Lola wore a loose tea gown of scarlet trimmed with glittering jet. It was a bizarre garment, but the vivid color suited her dark face and south- ern looks. She was rather tall, very slender, and she moved with the dan- gerous grace of a pantheress. Her face was oval, sallow and thin, with ever changing expreenions. She was never two minutes the same, but her pre- vailing mood was ono of fierce in- tensity. The smoldering fire in her great black eyes blazed into passion- ate love as she swept forward to greet her visitor. "My deliverer, my adored!" she cried in moderately good English and kissed his hand with burning lips. George snatched it away. "Don't, Lola. You know I hate that sort of thing!" And so saying he threw down his coat and hat on the sofa at the far encs of the room. "There, little friend," cried Lola, when he was seated comfortably by the fire and was puffing at a cigarette, "now we must talk. Why have you not been? Oh, you wicked young boy!" "I have been engaged," replied George. "Engaged!" she repeated, with a flash of ber wonderful eyes. "That is words for 'I don't want to come. " c'eorge laughed, shook his head and changed the subject. "Have you ever been in San Remo, in Italy?" he asked. "Ab, babe have I been anywhere? All Italy I know—all—all." "You know it better than Spain. Yet you are. Spanish." "I am whatever you desire, my George. Yes, I am of Spain—of Cadiz, where my parents sold oil to their ruin. They came to Italy, to Milan, and made money to live from wine. I WAS trafuecl to the dance. They died, and I, my friend"— "You told me all this before," inter- rupted Brendon ruthlessly. "I ask if you have ever been to San Remo?" "Why, yes, assuredly, and why not'?" She looked at him with narrowing eyes as she put the question, blinking like a cat. "There is no reason, only I was think- ing"— He paused. "'lit, you think—of what?" "Oh, something which does not con- cern you, Lola." "AII that is of you is to me," she re- sponded. "/ love you." . "Loin, be reasonable." "Pschuttl I mock myself of your reason," she cried, snapping her fin- gers and speaking in quite a French way.

"You are mine." "I am not yours." he retorted angrily. "I bave given you no cause to think that I would marry you." Lola burst into tears. "You took me from the stones and snows," she wept with extravagant grief. "Why did I not die? You fed me with foods and made me shine in this Loudon. You win my heart and then — then— pscbutt"—she snapped her fingers— "you toss it aside." "Why did you have me watched?" asked George sternly. "I want to know of the other wo- man," she replied sullenly. "There is no"— He broke off. "It has nothing to do with you." Lola sprang to ber feet with fierce eyes. "Then there is another—another —oh, you cruel! Name of names, but 1 shall find her. I shall tell her"— "You shall tell her nothing—you shall not see her." "But I will. Eh, yes. You do not know me." This with a stump. "I know you cannot behave decently, Lola. If you have me watched again, if you dare to—to—bab!" George stamped in hls turn. "I have had enough of this. Behave, or 1 go and will not return." She flung herself at his feet with a wail. "Alt, but no," she sobbed, "I do love you so dearly—1 will die it you love Inc not." George drew himself roughly away, and taking her b3• the hands placed het in a chair, where she hid her face and sobbed. "Who was it you got to watch me --you hired to watch me?" George adt-i: ly used the word "hired," as he thought she might have engaged one of her friends to do the dirty work instead of engaging a pro- fessional. Yet he knew she Was quite capable of going to a private detective ottice. "1 shall not tell you," said Lola, sit- ting up with a bard expression on her mouth' and in her eyes. ' "Did you pny him much?" asked 'Menden ddxteritusiy. "I paid him What 1 chose," retorted Lola, falling into the trap. "Ah! Then It was a professional de- tective you engaged, You have been to one of those inquiry Offices." "That is my business," said Lola, who, seeing she had made a slip, be- came more obstinate than ever. George shrugged his shoulders. 'lie was not going to argue with her.

She dung up her hands, with blazing eyes, "Did he say I do wish you berm? Was it—that—that cow-•ig"— ""Donp't call 'names, Lola, and don't distress yourself. It was Bawdsey." Lola saw that she had gone too far. She tried to recover lost ground. "I do not know his names," she said sul- lenly, then burst out: "But I wish you no harm. Eh, will you believe that, my preserver?" "I'll believe nothing if you wiII not tell me the truth," scald lj}endon, a little cruelly. "Come, Lola, admit that you paid Bawdsey to watch tae." "I did not pay—no, not one sou. Ile did it for love." "Ob, indeed! So Bawdsey is in love with you?" Lola threw back her head defiantly. "Yes, be is, and I care not one, two, three little trifles tor bine. Chun! He is old—he is red—he is one big fool, that I tan twist and twist"— "And you apparently have done so. Well, then, Lola, did you get him from a private inquiry office?" "No, I did not so. He loved me, and sent me flowers—oil, nanny, many flowers—those roses." She pointed to a silver dish filled with roses. He has flowers from a friend in San Remo." Brendon sat up with an eager balk in, biz eyes. So Bawdsey knew some one in San Remo. Brendon began to think that there was some meaning in all these things and plied Lola with (To be continued.) A Good Laugh. There is noti'tug more wholesome and tnspariug thau a good 'laugh.
