"TRat's my name," said Stanbury,
Exactly so, Mr.. S. The identity is
one as could prove on oath In any
court in England. You was on the

thing to me. And, Mr.. S., if YOU was
asked that question by hany counsel in

one of the metropolitan bekes, you
wouldn't deny it," =.
"Why the devil should deny it !
What's all this about, Trevelyan ~
"Of course you can't deny it, Mr.. ).
When Pm down on fact, | am down
on it. Nothing else wouldn't do in my
profession"
"Have you anything to say to me, MI

q great dislike to Hugh Stanbury, re-
rarding the barrister, with correct
instinct, as ole who was engaged for the
time in the same service with himself,
and who was his rival in that service.
When thus instigated to make, as 1T
were, a party of three in this delicate
and most confidential matter, and to
take his rival into his confidence, he
shook his head slowly, and looked IRE
yelyan hard in the face. "Mr. Stanbu-

of this unfortunate affair. fou can say
anything before him"
Bozzle shook his head again. "Id

"Indeed, I'd rayther not. It's some
thing very particular"
"If YOU take nv advice" said Stan
bury, "yos will not hear him yourself"
That's your advice, hr. So" asked
Bozzls.

have anything to do with such fellow
as You as long as could help it,

"Mr. Bozzle, if you've got anything to
tell, tell it," said Trevelyau, angrily.

pleaded Bozzle.
"Never mind. That is my affair."

There's no doubt of that. The lady is
your wife"
"Damnation - shouted Trevelyan.
"But the credit, sir" said BozZle.
"The credit is mine. Aud here is Mr..
s. has been down a interfering with me,
and doing no 'varsal good, rs I'll under
take to prove by evidence before the
affair is over
"The affair is over" said Stanbury.
THAT'S as you think, Mr., s. That's
where your Information goes TO, Mr.. S.
Mine goes little beyond that, Mr.. S.

and knows bow to do il. And let a
counsel be ever so sharp, never yet

You don't look after these things, Mr..
s. You don't know the ways of 'em.
Bat it's my business. The lady has
wrote the letter, and the Colonei,-why,
he has received it.
Trevelyan had become white with rage
when Bozzle first mentioned this contin'
ued correspondence between his wife
and Colonel Osborne. 1t never occurred
To him to doubt the correctness of the
poleemans information, and he regard
cd Stanbury's assertion of incredibly

moment he began to regret that be had
