1t had occurred TO Rose TINT the best plAee
for her to explain the situation 10. Miss
Gilmore would be her own house. There
they could stay rs long as they liked and
concert some plan by which the detectives.
who were evidently following them, might
be put of the scent.
Miss Elmore did not venture TO ask for any
explanation there. She knew that there was
danger to some one whose name had not been
mentioned by either of them. She knew thRt
she was being followed by those who meant
him harm if they could find HIM. This LADY
evidently knew it, too. but how she knew Il,
and what interest the matter was to her, the
poor girl was too agitated to even try and
think out.

Suddenly a shrek rang out just behind
Rose. Everybody instantly turned to see
what wAR the matter, Rose among them. A
little boy had run across the road and fallen
Just rs an omnibus was coming rapidly on to
him. II was a woman who had seen the oc.
currence who uttered the cry. The driver
pulled mp and the boy was saved. Then
everybody went on their way again.
But In the second that Rose turned her
head she had seen something which had as
tonished her. Close behind her was tho
woman who had come out of the agents i'm
mediately after Niles Elmore. and ON the OPP
posite side Of the road was the gentle man she
had bowed TO in mistake. and who had gone
into the public house opposite the agents
office.
Swift as lightning a suspicion of the truth
flashed across Mrs. Smedley's brain.
She was being followed herself-she and
Miss Elmore, too.
The woman was following Miss Elmore,
the man was following her. He had evil
IDENTIFY followed her from her house that
morning, taken the same bus as herself, and
watched her while she watched the agents
office.
She saw It In a moment, and she knew by a
fash Of inspiration what II meant.
Some one else besides herself had q sus-
picion that Jack Smedley had returned to
London, and they had been watching her, his
wife. believing that she would know of IT
and communicate with him.
The part of his story which she had for the
time forgotten came back to her at once.
She was trying TO fnd him 10 reproach HIM

were trying to find him to make him answer
for his ofenses against the law.

Miss Gilmore evidently suspected nothing.
She said, II beg your pardon" as she acct
dentally touched Rose, but only gave her a
passing glance.
The hot blood rushed to Mrs. Smedley's
face, and a hard, cruel look came into her
eyes. 1t was fortunate that her veil was down
and that it was thick. Otherwise she would
undoubtedly have attracted attention.
Tn face Of her rival was a beautiful one
SO beautiful it made Rose hate her all the
