deal Of truth IN Cations remark, and Felix
always distributed bis sixpences freely. The
conversation had been dull for the last few
minutes at the Frettlby dinner table; conse-

frightened up, as they felt certain now that
the conversation would be amusing.

Felix, as he slipped into seat by Madge;

Madge with disbelieving smile. "Confess,
now, you have been paying a round of
visits"
"Well, yes" assented Mr. Rolleston;
"that's the disadvantage of having large
circle of acquaintances They give you
weak tea and thin bread and butter,

"You would rather have B. and s. and
some deviled kidneys" finished Brian.
There was laugh at this, but Mr. ROLES

"The only advantage Of o'clock tea,"
he went on, ''is that it brings people
together, and one hears what's going on"

smile. what news have youY"
'Good news, bad news, and such news as
you have never heard Of" quoted Rolleston

Mr.. Frettlby, idly toying with his wine

"Oh, one of those detective fellows, you
know" answered Felix ''They know every
