A CASE FOR KING SOLOMON.


At few minutes past ten o'clock in the
morning Sylvanus Mordle, who for some
quarter of an hour hal been waiting at the
cross roads as patiently as the finger post
itself, saw Beatrice coming towards him. He
fastened to meet her, and his sharp eyes at
once noticed that she looked worn and weary
Had he known that she had spent sleepless
night this would have caused him no sur
prise The two walked on until they reached
the outskirts of the city. Here, by Beatrices
command, the curate hailed cab. "Where
shall we drive tor he asked
There, if you please, said Beatrice, hand
ing him paper. Mordle stared, and could
scarcely repress a cry of surprise. Thepaper

The ''Cat and Compasses" was an inn
which had seen better, much better days, on
the strength Of which it still venoured 10 call
itself family and commercial hotel. Per
haps it spoke the truth; perhaps il assertion
was but n lautlable evidence of a desire to
regain its former status. Itstood in Il narrow

Beatrice drew down her vail and Leaned

eyes were still closed when she heard Mordle
his clear accents just tempered BY surprise,
saying that the person she wanted was in the
house, and wouli see her. Beatrice moved
as if tolcaYe the cab. The curate kept the
door closed.
