CHAPTER Xv.-CoNTNuED.

C1A1IEh AN.-IOHTlNUED
At this moment Matt, looking bright
as sunshine, leaped out Of the caravan.
"There's my proof" said Marshall.
"Miss Monk, this amiable bridegroom
of yours denies being concerned in
harming Mr.. Charles Brinkley. Is he
telling the truth?"
Matt's face darkened, and she looked
at Monk with eyes of cordial detesta-
tion.
'No," she said; "he's lying"
''Matt," cried Monk, fiercely, "take
careT'
"He's lying" she repeated, not heed
ing him. 81 see him do 1t with my
own two eyes, and l see William
Jones helping him and looking on;
they thought that no one'w nigh,
but l was. was hiding behind them
sacks and barrels in the cave"
Monk now felt that the game was
almost up, for he was beset on every
side, and the very ground seemed
opening under his feet The wretched
Jones, in state bordering on frenzy,
remained on his knees, wailing over
his ruin. The two strangers, Light
wood and Marshall, looked on as calm
but interested spectators. Matt, hav-
ing delivered her home-thrust of ac-
| cusation, stood and gazed into Monks
face with cool defiance.

please-I shall not take the trouble to

He added, while they looked at one
another as II somewhat puzzled:
Gas to the girls relationship with
my dead cousin, the very idea Is abb
surd. Where are the proofs Of her
'birthright9"
"Here," said a quiet voice.
! Monk turned his eyes and started
back in wonder, while William Jones
shrieked and fell forward on his face.
Standing before them in the sunshine
was-the reality or the semblance Of
the murdered young man Of the cara
van!

you persistently refused to do justice

you persistently refused to do justice
to this young lady"
As he spoke, Monk uttered savage
oath and rushed towards the road; but
Marshall was after him in a moment
and sprang upon him. There was a
quick struggle. Suddenly Monk drew
q knife, opened it and brandished it in
the air; 30 that it would have gone i'll
with his assailant if the herculean
Tim, coming to the rescue, had not
pinioned him from behind. In another
moment the knife was lying on the
grass and Monk was neatly handcuffed
by the detective.
NOW, governor, you'd better take 1t
quietly!" said Marshall, while Monk
struggled and gnashed his teeth in i'm
potent rage. You're smart one, you
are, but the games up at last"
Monk recovered himself and laughed
fercely.
"Let me go! OF what do you accuse
me? 1t was murder Just now, but since
the murdered person is alive (d-n
himD should like to know on what
charge you arrest me-"
"Oh, there's no difficulty about that"
said Brinkley, looking at him super
ciliously. "In the first place you have
by fraud and perjury possessed your
self of what never legally belonged to
you. In the second place, you at
tempted murder, at any rate. But upon
my life, 1 don't think you are worth
prosecuting. think, Mr.. Marshall, you
might let him Co."
"Its letting mad dog loose, sir, I" re-
piled Marshall. He'll hurt some
body"
"What do you say, Miss Monk?" said
Brinlsley. "This amiable looking per-
son is your fathers cousin. Shall re-
lease your bridegroom in order that
you may 60 with him to the altar Of
Hymen and complete the ceremony"

like to drown him in the sea-"
Brinkley laughed.
"Your sentiments are natural, but
un-Christian. And the gentle Jones,
now, who is looking at you so affec-
tionately, what would you do with him?
Drown him in the sea too2"
"No, no, Matt" interposed William
Jones, abjectly; speak up for me,
Matt. ha' been father to you all these
years"
Matt seemed perplcxed what to say.
So Brinkley again took up the conver-
sation.
"On reflection we will refer William
Jones TO his friends, the 'coast-guard
chaps l think he will be punished
enough by the distribution of his little
property in the cave. Eh, Mr.. Jones?"
Jones only wrung his hands and
walled, thinking Of his precious treas
ure.
"And so, Matt" continued Brinkley,
"there will be no wedding after all. I'm
afraid you're awfully disappointedP'
Matt replied by taking his hand
again, raising it to her lips, and kiss

CONCLUSION
My tale is told. The adventure Of
the caravan has ended. Little more
remains TO be said.
Monk, of Monkshurst, was not
brought to trial for his iniquities, but
he was sorely enough punished by tho
loss Of his ill-gotten estates. Before
the claim OF the founding was fully
proved he left England never to return.
Whether he is alive or dead ] cannot
tell.
William Jones, too, escaped legal
punishment. A severer retribution
came upon him in the seizure and dis
posal of the boards in the great cave.
So sorely did he take his loss to heart
that he crept TO his bed and had an at
tack OF brain fever. When he reap
peared on the scene Of his old plumber
ings his intellect was weakened, and
he showed curious evidences Of i'm
becility. But the ruling passion re-
maincd strong within him. saw him
only last summer, rambling on the sea-
shore, talking incoherently TO himself
and watching the sea in search Of
wreclsage as Of old.
And Matt?
Well, her title TO Monkshurst and
the property was fully proved. For
long time she did not realize her good
fortune, but gradually the pleasant
truth dawned upon her In sunrise Of
nice dresses, jewelry and plenty Of
money. Chancery stepped In like a
severe foster parent and sent her TO
school. There she remained for several
years; but Charles Brlnkley, who had
first taken In hand the vindication OF
her claims, and who never ceased 10
be interested in her, saw her from
time TO time and took particular note
OF her Improvement In her grammar
and In the gentle art Of speech.
"Matt," he said, when they met last
Christmas In London, and when he
saw before him, Unsteady Of towsy
girl, as bright and buxom young lady
as ever wore purple raiment and fine
linen, "Matt, you are 'growed-up' Mt

Matt blushed and hung her head,
with touch Of the old manner.

don't have anything like as much luck,
and their wives make them angry by
wondering why 1t is so.
1t is exceedingly nice when dine

girl. My married friends look across
the table at me enviously. Any sort OF
married trump" is good enough for
them.
As am, can do exactly as like;

sweet will, and breakfast in bed or up
at any hour. Most husbands can by no
means do as they please, even in so
small o matter as this. They are ox-
pected to be at home by ten or eleven
o'clock, or face cold coffee, cold eggs,
cold toast and cold looks next morn

no absurder cant than the talk about
it being a mans duty to the race to

OF all these girls whom might have
