But as for this her child, B." At that
moment there came knock at the door
Mrs. Bozzle, going into the passage,
opened it herself, and saw a strange
gentleman. Bozzle, who had stood at
the inner door, saw that the gentleman
was Mr.. Trevelyan.
The letter, which was still in the ex-
policeman's hand, had reached Stony
Walk on the previous day; but the
master of the house had been absent,
finding out facts, following up his pro-
fessiOn, and earning an honest penny.
Trevelyan had followed his letter quick
or than he had intended when it was
written, and was now with his prime
minister, before his prime minister had
been able to take any action on the last
instruction received. "Does one Mr..
Samuel Bozzle live here" asked Ire
velyan. Then Bozzle came forward and
introduced his wife. There was no one
else present except the baby, and Boz
zle intimated that let matters be as deli
cate as they might, they could be dis
eussed with perfect security in his wife's
presence. But Trevelyan was of a
different opinion, and he was disguised
and revolted-most unreasonably-by
the appearance of his minister's domes- |
tic arrangements. BozZle had always |
waited upon him with decent coat
and well-brushed hat, and clean shoes.
1t is very much easier for such men as
Mr.. BoZZle to carry deCency of appear |
ance about with them than to keep 1t
at home. Trevelyan had never believed !
his ally to be more than an ordinary ex
policeman, but he had not considered
how unattractive might be the inte-
rior OF private detectives private
residence. Mrs. Bozzle had set chair
| for him, but he had declined to sit
down. The room was dirty, and very
close,-a though no breath of air was
ever allowed to fud entrance there.
Perhaps you could put on your coat,
and walk out with me for a few min
utes," said Trevelyan. Mrs. Bozzle,
who well understood that business was
| business, and that wives were not bus
mess, felt no anger at this, and handed
her husband his best coat. The we'll
brushed hat was fetched from a emp
board, and it was astonishing to see
how easily and how quickly the outer
responsibility Of B5zzIe was restored.

they were together in the middle OF
Stony Walk.
There hasn't been nothing to be
done, sir SAID BOzZle.
why not 7" Trevelysn could perceive
at once that the authority which he had
once respected had gone from the man.
Bozzle, away from his own home out on
business, with his coat buttoned over
his breast, aud his best hat in his hand,
was aware that he commanded respect
and he could carry himself accordingly.
| He know himself to be somebody, and
could be easy self. confident, confidential,
severe, authoritative, or even arrogant,
as the Circumstances of the moment
might demand. But he had been found
with his coat off, and baby in his arms,
and he could not recover himself. Il do
not suppose that any body will question
my right to have the care Of my own
child" said Trevelyan.
IF you would have gone to Mr.. Skint,
sir, "-suggeSted BOzzie. There amt no
smarter gent in all the profession, sir,
than Mr.. Skint."
Mr.. Trevelyan made no reply to this,
but walked on in silence, with the min.
lister at his elbow. He was very wretch
ed, understanding well the degradation
to which he was subiecting himself in
discussing his wifo's conduct with this
man; but with whom else could he dis
cuss it'll The man seemed TO be meaner
now than he had been before he had
been seen in his own home. And Ire.
velyan was conscious, too, that he hin'
self was not in outward appearance as
he used to be,-that ne was addressed,
and haggard, and worn, and visibly a
wretched being, How can any man

over him since be had sent his wife
away from him, his very nature had
been altered, and he himself was aware
of the change. AS he went about, his
