not wish To injure her by coming himself, he
had arranged with n friend of his to take il
in. 1t was to be sent in a registered letter 70
the inclosed address, and 1t would be all
right.
The address inclosed was a lodging house
in Marylebone; Belle, remembering her
mothers instructions, scrubbed her little
note, and putting it in an envelope gave 1t to

the morning from the casual ward OF the
workbouse in which he had sought shelter.
He had leisure during the three days to

for him to open negotiations with his father.
The w~orkhouse regime and the workhouse
associates. novel at first, had become irkRome
and degrading TO him. He felt himself low
cred in his own eyes. and he began TO see
that, so far from asserting his independence,
he had shown his dependence, for he was
eating and sleeping al the expense of the
parish.
He had thought q good deal during his in
generation Of the extraordinary discovery he
and he kept wondering If her father would
I find a means Of seeing her and getting the
money he wanted. Instinctively he found
himself wandering toward HiGhgate. II was
in his mind 10 go 10 the meeting place in the
woods. He had a vague idea that he might

what he would he couldn't shake the idea off,
and so 1t came about that at 2 O'clock in the
afternoon no was in the wood.
The place was entirely deserted. There
were no signs of any one waiting about, and
Ned sat down to think out the future. He
went O little wav into the wood to find n nice
sheltered place, and having done so he threw

The silence and the soothing influence Of
the lonely spot soon affected HIS senses, and
having had a bad night in the cell" of the
casual ward he presently found his eyes clos
ing. Yielding TO the dreamy sense of rest
and forgetfulness which stole over him, he
soon fell asleep.
At q few minutes TO 8 Belle Mortimer came
along Wood lane. passed into the wood, and

open country round about.
At 3 o'clock Mr.. John Harwood, who had

along the lane that. hidden by a high hedge,
leads to the site at right angles from the
Wood lane path.
A person taking this direction would be
quite unseen by any one coming across the
wood until the sti o was reached.
John Harwood came along quietly and
cautiously till near the stile, when, by peer
ing through the hedge at u lI,tls gap, he was
able TO see that q young lady was there. and
he knew at once that Belle Mortimer had
kent her appointment.
Then he came on rapidly and made Belle
utter u stiled little cry by popping up sud
denly III front of her.
" beg your pardon, - he said; - hope
didn't frighten you. So you are Belle, my
daughter, that l have not seen all these

He turned from the stile and made his way
along the path towards Wood lane. AS he
did so he saw a lew people standing together,
and a policeman's helmet among them.
Since he had come to this present position OF

from crowds.
Instead of passing the people he turned up
sharp into the wood and made his way out or
SIGHT to the exit.
But the crashing of the branches as he
pushed them aside attracted attention, and
