this pretty creatures cunning is remarkable,
even for a woman. / am an old lawyer,
skilled in the ways Of the woodland a
young girl has completely overreached me-
She asked me-oh, heavens, how innocently
if Mrs Ormond was likely to make long
stay at her present place of residence"
Randall interrupted him. You don't mean
to tell me you have given her Catherine adj
dress?'
Bucks hotel, Sydenham,' Mr.. Sarrazin
answered. ''She has got the address down
I'm her nice little pocket-book."
What amazing weaknessr' Randall ex-
claimed.
Mr.. Sarrazin cordially agreed with him.
Amazing weakness, as you say. Pretty
Miss sydney knows many things more, be
sides the address She knows that Mrs. Or
mond is here on business relating TO new in
yestments OF her money. She knows, be-
sides. that one of the trustees is keeping Us
waiting. She also made sensible remarks
She mentioned having heard Mrs. Ormond
say that the air of London never agreed with
her ami she hoped that comparatively
healthy neighborhOod had been chosen for
Mrs Ormond's place of residence. This, you
see was leading up to the discovery OF the
address. The spirit of mischief possessed
me: / allowed Miss WeSterfield to take lit
tie peep at the truth. Mrs. OrmOnd is not
actually in London, said; she is only in
the neighborhood.' For what followed on
this my experience of ladies ought to have
prepared me. am ashamed to say this lady
took me completely by surprise
What did she dO?'
Fell on her knees, poor dear, and said:
oh. MI Sarrazin. be kinder to me than you
have ever been yet; tell ire where Mrs. Or
mond is- / put her back in her chair and |
took her handkerchief out of her pocket and
wiped her eyes
And then you told her the address,

more than YOU could perform. She had

Randall listened abSently; he was thinking.
There could be little doubt to what deStma-
! ton Sydney Westeciiald had betaken herself
when she LETT the lawyers office At that
moment, perhaps, she and Catherine were
together-and together alone.
