would not answer. But Brendon
knew how to manage her, and before

. •got the whole truth out of her.
"So Bawdsey knows San Remo, and
be is fifty or over fifty years of age.
Wm! He knows all the history of the
place, I suppose."
"I know not—nothing do I know."
"Ah, that's a pity! Bawdsey could
tell you some nice tales" He Axed a
keen glance on her. "About some yel-
low hotly, for instance."
Lola winced, for the shot bad gone
home. But she still held to her decla-
ration of ignorance. "I know noth-
ings --absolutely."
"But apparently this naan knows a
great deal. He is in love with you
and must have told you much. Did be
inform you of a certain murder which
took place at San Remo?"
"Ab, bah! Wby should he? I knew
of all already."
"You! How did you know?"
"My father and my mothers, they
lived in San Remo when—ob, they did
tell me all of that Englishman"
"Did they know who murdered him?"
asked George, marveling at this un-
expected discovery.
"No. No one know anythings,"
• "Was there no suspicion?"
"Not one suspicions. I know noth-
ings," she repeated doggedly.
"It strikes me that you do. How did
you and Bawdsey come to be talking
of this matter?"
"We did not talk." Lola looked down
at her foot as she told the lie and
moved it restlessly.
George rose and took up his hat.
Throwing his coat over his arm, he
moved toward tbe door. "Good night,
mademoiselle."
She sprang to•ber feet and flew after
him. "No, no!" she cried in lively
alarm. "You must not go, my dearest
dear!"
"What is the use of my stopping
when you will not show your gratitude
toward me by teling the truth?"
"I will tell! I wili tell! Sit down.
The coat—you shall not go. I will say
all. Ask what you will. Sit, any little
cabbage—a wine in tbe glass—alt, yes—
and a cigarette. Come, be good. Am I
mademoiselle?"
"No," said George, smiling on her
pleading face. "You are my friend
Lola now that you are sensible."
"Ab, only friend!" she said sadly.
"But I speak. Yes?"
George began at once to question her
lest the yielding mood should pass
. away. "You made the acquaintance
of Bawdsey at the hall?"
Lola nodded. "He loved me; he sent
me flowers. I learn that he looks after
people, and I made him watch you. I
told blr•your name."
"Did he know my name?" asked
Brendon quickly.
"He knew everything—oh, yes—all—
Brendon was taken aback. "All—all
•}what?" he asked, amazed.
"Why"—Lola twirled her fingers --
"all what you would not tell to me,
nay dear. That your names is Vane,
•and miler"—
"Derrington! Did Bawdsey mention
Lord. Eerrington?"
"Yes. Oh, many times he speaks of
tailor. I speaks of San Remo. This --
this Bawdsey ask me of the blue dome
• sio- -of the holly"—
"Of the murder, in tact"
"It is quite so, my friend. Of the
murder or your father."
"What?" George started from his
:seat. "Did he know that the man who
was murdered at San Remo 'was my
father?"
"Yes, and that it was difficult about
the marriages."
"That also. He appears to know the
whole story. And he mentioned Lord
Derrington. That is how he comes to
be acgnainted with these facts. A spy
—Derrington is employing him. And
the man IS boarding in Amelia square,"
George struck his hands together. "By
Jove, it's n conspiracy, end I never
:knew anything!"
"1 do not wish you to bane the mar-
riages right, George," said Lola, with
pout. "If you are as what you ate,
then yon will marry ine. She will not
be Madame.'
"DK Bawdsey tell you the name of
Abe lady?"
"No. But he will tell. But she is a
well born one, and I am of the gutter.

'She threw ler arms round him. "Be

"No, no!" George took her arms from

you have told me, and I'll see you

Train to come to dinner tbe next even-
ing without ceremony. "I bare just
Iearned that your dear mother was at
school with me," wrote Mrs. Ward in
her most gushing style. "So you will
see why I write informally."
To account for Train's exuberant joy,
R'hielx seemed out of all proportion to
its reason, it must .be explained'tbat,
notwithstanding his money and what
be regarded as bis talents, be bad nev-
er managed to enter the fashionable
world. As he was as vain as a pea-
cock and anxious to shine and be ad-
mired among people worth knowing,
this was a great grief to him. George
took him to several houses, but Leon-
ard did not seem to be a success, for
after one visit he was never asked
again, although he left cards assidu-
ously. The desire of his life was to
be fashionable; hence his delight at
the letter.
"Of course I'll So," soliloquized Leon-
ard when calmer. "I wonder if Gebrge
will be there. He loves that Ward girl,
so be might, Mrs. Ward does not ap-
prove of the match, so he might not.
I wonder if there is n regular engage-
ment. If noel might bave a shot my-
self. The Honorable Mrs. Train—no,
that would be tbe mother."
It will be seen that Leonard was not
very faithful to his absent friend, but
the fact is that Train was less devoted
to Brendon than he had been. The ep-
isode of Amelia square made him fight
rather shy of George. The story of tbe
• marriage was shady, and in some way—
Leonard couldn't exactly explain how—
seemed to be connected with the mur-
'der of Mrs. Jersey. Moreover, Leon-
and knew something which he had not
,, mend nod to Brendon and would not
have mentioned for the fashionable
world. However, he had said nothing
about George's history and so far had
kept faith. But Brendon saw that
Leonard was no longer so pleased to
see him as formerly. He therefore
avoided the fat young man, and Leon-
ard did not seem to mind the avoid-
ance.
Leonard never intended to speak, be-
ing weak, but bonorable in his own
foolish way. But when Mrs. Ward's
invitation came he walked blindfolded
into a trap set by that clever little
woman. She asked Train to dinner,
not because she had known his mother
—although that was true enough—but
for the simple reason that she wished
to hear What he knew about the Ame-
Iia square tragedy. Brendon had told
her much, but it was probable that
Train, being a weak idiot in the hands
of a pretty woman like herself, would
tell her more. Mrs. Ward wished to
lind some scandal smirching George,
that she might induce Dorothy to
break the engagement. She would
have utilized the tales about Lola and
Brendon, but she was not sure of
her ground in this particular direction,
and, moreover, baying seen the Span-
ish dancer, feared lest so passionate a
woman should make an open scandal.
It was the aim of Mrs. Ward's life to
do wrong things and to avoid troubles
arising from them. Therefore she, for
the time being, put Lola on the shelf
and arranged in her own scheming
mind to make use of Leonard.
When Leonard entered the drawing
room he was welcomed by Dorothy,
who told him that Mrs. Ward would
be down shortly. "It is only a small
dinner, Mr. Train; she said. "Mr.
Vane is coining; no one else."
"I• expected to find my friend Bren-
don here," said Leonard, thinking how
beautiful she looked.
"No. Mr. Brendon is 'very busy at
the present time with his book. He
would have come otherwise."
"All things should give way where
a lady is concerned," said Train gal-
lantly.
Mies Ward laughed. She had heard
much of Train from Breeden and
thought hien a kindly but foolish
young mita. "I am not a woman of
that sort, Mr. Train. I have no de-
sire that a man should neglect his
work for frivolity. You are a great
friend of Mr. Brendon?"
"The greatest he has."
"And he was stopping with you in
the house where that tragedy took
place. Iie told me about it"
Train secretly wished tbat George
had held his tongue on this particu-
lar point, as he had his own reasons
for not wishing to be questioned. With
the very best intentions as to holding
bits tongue, he knew his weakness for
babbling well enough and found it
easier to abstain from talking nito.

Train both knew and compared Vanes
physique disadvantageously with that
of Breudon,
Lard Derrington, who was a bluff
old giant of the country squire type,
sneered at his degenerate descendant.
All the same be would not replace
him by George, who was a man in
looks and tastes after the old lord's
own heart.
"Air. 'Train—Mr. Vane," said Doro-
thy, introducing the two.
Vane stared and muttered something
about "pleasure." Leonard caught no
other word. He then continued his
conversation with Miss Ward. "I
sneezed twice at the Merry Music hall
the otber nigbt."
"That is where Velez dances," said
Leonard, determined to speak.
Vane stared again, and it was Doro-
thy who answered. "My mother went
to see her and says she is a most
extraordinary dancer."
"I saw your friend Brendon at tbe'
hall, Miss Ward—the writing man, you
know," said Vane;"a fine looking chap,
but sulky."
"The best man in the world," said
Leonard, whereupon Dorothy gave him
an approving look, She wondered
what Vane would say did he know
that the man be criticised so freely
was his cousin and the legitimate heir
to the Derrington title.
"Weil, he has his larks iike every one
else. They say he is sweet on the
dancer."
"Mr. Vane! cried Dorothy, the blood
rushing to her face.
"'Well, good people," cried Mrs.
Ward, entering the room at this very
opportune moment, "are you all here?
Mr. Vane, I am pleased. AIr. Train,
how good of you to come! Ab," Mrs.
Ward sighed, "you have your dear
mother's eyes, and lovely eyes they
were!"
Having slipped in this compliment
to put Leonard at his ease and throw
him off his guard, Mrs. Ward delivered
him to Dorothy and took Vane into a
shady corner. "Dinner wiil be ready
soon," she said, fanning herself, al-
though it was a cold winter's night,
"I hope you are hungry, Mr. Vane."
"I was," admitted her guest, "but I
have to nurse my appetite carefully,
you know, Mrs. Ward, and I am rather
put out."
"Not by Mr. Train, I hope. He is a
nice fellow, really, very nice, with
money made out of pigs or whisky
or something," said Mrs. Ward vague-
ly, for she was not certain. "What
did he say?"
"IIe said nothing, but Miss Ward
did."
Mrs. Ward shrugged. "Oh, *ell, you
know, Dorothy has such odd ideas
and all that sort of thing. I suppose it

"No. But I mentioned that Breudon
-•-you know, the writing fellow" --
"Yes, I know," said. Mrs. Ward vi-
clollsly and at once on the alert,
"Well, I said that it was rumored lee _
wits sweet oil Lola Velez, and :Miss
Ward fired up, Is she so great a irienQ
of bis as all that?"
"Olx, by no means," responded Mrs. -
Ward vivaciously. "A mere acquaint -

"Mr. Train—Ms'. Vane,"
How she can Irick! So•,lir. Brendon is
in—well, I never should have thought
it of flim; but these quiet men are
always the worst."
So Mrs. Ward rattled on in Ler in-
coherent manner, but perfectly clear
in her own mind as to the good Vane's
injudicious observation would do. If
Dorothy once got it into her brain that
George was an admirer of Lola, then
.there would be a chance of breaking
the engagement. Before Vane could
make any more remarks the gong
thunderecl. "You take in Dorothy,"
she said to Vane, thus getting him offf
her shoulders, but not hoping to end
Leonard a pleasant change. "I will
take Mr. Train under my wing."
In this order they entered the din-
ing room, errs. Ward trying to stifle a
yawn and wondering how she would
get through such a dull evening. Luck-
ily, Vane mentioned that his grand-
father had expressed his intention of
looking in during the course of the
evening. "If you will not mind, Mrs.
Ward," he said politely.
"Oh, I'm rather glad," replied the
lite, wnn'•tn. "Such a delightful old
gentleman! Ilia anecdotes are quite
ill the best style. Do try this dish,
&r, Train. It is good."
Leonard did try it and slid full jus-
tice to the merits of Mrs. Ward's
cook. She kept a particularly good
chef, as she knew the value of good
cooking. "People like nice things to
eat, she explained to Leonard, while
Dorothy labored to entertain Vane.
r'One can break all the Ten Command-
ments if only one feeds the men."
Then, thinking she had said too much,
'Ole added sweetly. "But of course I

sure you are all that is good
and kind, Mrs. Ward."
"Now, that's really very nice of you.
Tier. Brendon would never say a really
nice thing like that. Of course be's a
great friend of yours, isn't he? And
he stopped with you when that poor
woman"—
Leonard uttered an ejaculation. It
teemed to bin that he was pursued by
the Amelia square tragedy. First Dor-
othy and now her mother. Was there
no other topic of conversation? He
'would have answered an ordinary per-
son rudely, being wearied of being
questioned, but Mrs. Ward, baving the
key of the door which led into the
fashionable world, was to be concili-
ated. Iie replied to her almost in the
same words as be had used to Dorothy.
"Mr, Brendon did stop with me," he
said, "but we were asleep when the
murder took place."
"ITow extraordinary!" said Mrs.
Ward languidly, yet with a keen eye
on the change in Leonard's face. "I
wonder who killed her?"
"No one knows," replied 'Train short-
ly. "The police are quite at fault."
"Ob, the police!" said Mrs. Ward, in
at proper tone of contempt, "They
never do anything except make love to
cooks. 3 h you suspect any one?"
Leonar,l flushed. "T, Mrs. Ward?
Why should T suspect any one?"
"Oh, I don't know. Youhave a
clever face. Just the kind of a face
that one would think a brilliant de-
tective would have. ' You must have
some suspicions?" Again her eyes
Searched his face.
"No,'t he protested. "I was asleep.
I know nothing about the matter."
"How stupid of you,!" Bald Mrs.
Ward, beginning to think that her con.
descension in asking Leonard to din-
ner was Wasted, "But you men are

"It is very rare, you know, and a man
who lives in Devonshire sent me a

Drendon bad begged for a piece. Yes,
1 he would naturally wear it on that
night, as he had just left my house.
But why was this unfortunate woman
surprised?"
"I can't say, but she was," answered
Train, "She turned white, and we all
' thought site was about to faint."
"Did she give any explanation?"
"No. In a few moments site recov-
ered, and nothing more was said."
"Oh!" Mrs. Ward seemed disap-
pointed. "Vas that all?"
"Why"—Leonard turned his dull
eyes ou her flushed faee—"what else
did you expect to hear, Mrs. Ward?"
"Nothing! Nothing," she said hur-
riedly, for she did not wish to make
him suspicious; "but it seems so odd.

signaled with her fan, and her daugh-
ter arose. "Don't be too long over
your wine," said 'Airs. Ward as she left
the room. "We can't spare you, Air.
Train."
Leonard believed that all this atten-
tion was due to his own fascinations.
His head was still heated with the
wine he had drunk, yet he began to re-
gret that he had said anything about
the yellow holly. Certainly he bad not
promised George to be silent on this
especial point, but he nevertheless
thought it wiser to hold his tongue
about all that had taken phace in
Amelia square on the night of the mur-
der. Warned in this way by his moth-
er sense, Train took no more wine, but
after a rather dull conversation with
Vane he went into the drawing room.
Dorothy was at the piano, and thither
repaired Vane. But Mrs, Ward, seated
near the lire, called Leonard to her
side. "I must introduce you. Lord
Derrington—Mr. Train."
The grandfather of George was a
huge man, burly, red faced, white
haired and. with a rather truculent ex-
pression. He was over seventy, yet
carried his years like a boy. Under
his busby white eyebrows he shot a
quick glance at Lebuard from a pair
of keen gray eyes and summed him
up at once as a fool. Put Lord Der-
rington had been a• diplomatist many
years before and knew that even fools
are sometimes useful. Moreover, he
had learned from Mrs. Ward's aimless
chatter that Train was a great friend
of Brendon's, and be knew more about
George than George thought. Ilow-
ever, Derrington, after that one glance
of contempt, was very civil to Leon-
ard.
"I am glad to meet you," ho staid,
with a nod. "You go in for books, I
understand from Airs, Ward."
He had a deep, raucous voice like
that of an early starling, and spoke in
an abrupt staccato kind of way. Train,
who stood before him like a rabbit be-
fore a snake, compared him in his own
mind with Becky Sharp's friend, the
elarquis of Steyne. Derrington was
quite as wicked and savage and un-
scrupulous. as that celebrated noble-
man.
Derrington seemed to Leonard to
have the instincts of a despot, and
Leonard could imagine bite slaying
and burning and doing all manner of
evil things. IIe wondered how Bren-
don ever came to have suck a villain-
ous grandfather. It was on the tip
of his tongue to say Something about
Brendon, just to observe the effect on
Derrington. At that moment fate in-
tervened. 'The drawing room door
opened, and a servant dnn0unced, "Air.
Brendon!"
The next moment George came face
to /nee with his grandfather.

"Tse are old friends," said George
calmly. "Miss Ward"—he bowed to
Dorothy, who emulated bis serenity,
although she felt anxious. But when
she saw her lover's composure she
knew that nothing disagreeable would
occur, and her apprehensions were' re-
lieved,
There ensued a general conversation
relative to the weather, to tbe doings
Of a certain politician and to sundry
other subjects more or less vague.
George talked excellently and Was
conscious that Derrington was listen-
ing with approval. Again and again
he wondered if the old man really
knew who lie was, and again and
again he failed to arrive at any con-
clusion. After a time Leonard went

practically alone, and the old lord ap-

"I have beard of you from Mrs,

which no amount of politeness could
render agreeable, "but I do not think
we have met before. Are you related
to the Brendons of Shropshire?"
"No. I bane not that privilege."
Derrington chuckled at this reply.
He thought George had a good deal of
the man in him when he answered
thus fearlessly. "I have seen your
name somewhere lately," he observed,
"but I can't recall where or in what
connection."
Brendon laughed, quite at his ease,
although he did not know if this was
en attempt to make him speak out.
However, he did speak out, with the
idea of seeing what would happen. "I
can supply the connection," said he
lightly, but keenly observant of the old
man's face. "My name appeared as a
witness at an inquest a week or so
now I remember, Mr. Brendon.
Quite so. It was that Amelia square
murder. "
"You have a good memory, Lord. Der-
rington."
"In this case you flatter me, Mr.
Brendon. There is no difficulty in my
remembering the especial case, as Mrs.
jersey was a tenant of mine"
George was not supposed to know
this and displayed suitable surprise.
"Indeed," he said; "then you have
lost a good tenant."
"Possibly," replied Derrington, rath-
er grimly. "She always paid her rent
regularly. You saw her?"
"Yes. ery friend, Mr. Train, was
stopping in the house" --
"That young man." Derrington cast
a look in Leonard's direction. "I did
not know he was there On that night"
"IIe was a witness also," said Bren-
don significantly.
"I can't remember all the names, sir.
Tell?"
'dl stopped tor the night with Mr,
Train and during the night Mrs. Jer-
sey was murdered."
"You heard nothing --saw nothing?"
"I was sound. asleep the whole time,"
saki Brendon calmly.

therefore, sweet one, shrink not frim

You are beautiful and freely I will waive
