with Penelope's ordinations of surprise and
sorrow, Richard related all that had hap
pened since the night before she went to
Washington.
My dear Oh Richard. Good morn
ing" said Penelope's aunt. as she entered
the room with bonnet on and a carriage wrap
thrown hastily over a house dress. Mrs.
Chamberlain has sent for me. They have
just received news that Clara's iance, Mr..
Bike. was found dead in his bathroom, shot
through the head. They think it was acct
dental and poor Clara, who was to have BEEN
a bride this evening, is Frustrated. I'll be
back presently, dear. Richard stay with the

They let her go without q word of the IN
formation they possessed. and oblivious to
all else they read Tolman Bikes confession.

When the messenger boy pointed out the
man in the Hoffman House az looking like
the man who got the gown. the resemblance
struck me, though this man WIS fair and
Tolman Bike was dark. The moment the
resemblance struck me the whole thing
flashed before my mind. My ridiculous re-
mark that probably the man was blesched
suggested to me the possibility Of Maggie'S
sister having bleached after she left home.
| Still it was all so wild and improbable that I
tried not to think of it."
They decided only TO tell the secret Of the
crime TO those most concerned. That done,
thew efectually saved the name OF Tolman
Bike from deeper disgrace, little as he de-
served it.
That evening they visited Maggie Williams,
now Mrs. Martin Shanks, and Penelope
gently told them the story of the Mystery
of Central Park, omItting as much As possible
that would pain the sister. Rough, but
kindly, Martin Shanks comforted his bride.
Dido Morgan mingled her tears with Mag
gie's, but she was shy and awkward, having
little to say in the presence OF Penelope
Howard, though Penelope did her utmost TO
be cordial and considerate.
All. Penelope, it's true. as Tolman Bike
said, happiness is not so plentiful in life that
we can al ord to let it Zip by when near our
grasp" Richard said, sadly. as he and Pencil
one drove homeward. Penelope merely
sighed in response.

During this time Lucille was very happy,
Notwithstanding her Imprisonment. She was
constantly planning what she would do when
We we're married. She dwelled IN delight on
the sensation her marriage would create among
those who knew her. She discussed the To-
c~alities most suitable for us to live in. and
talked of things she intended to buy for her
house and the dresses she meant to get.
