( Fact was, and it leaked out, she paid him

/ did, do you see, hence his deception and
/ imposition on me But now, Dagmar,
/ your interest and mine are one Let us

| Dagmar's brain had been busy revolv-
ing the news There was a strange gilt

It's funny sort of dying that will leave

| by going TO Jacob you could have got her
address directly you left Hendon. No, no,
Mark Boyd, you don't impose on me. My
poor Olga may be living. Please lie bon
Dieu, she is, but I'll join none of your
searches for her If she is still alive she
is evidently hiding from you for some rea-
son. | must think-think. First bring
me Jacob here. / shall know my sur

Mark swore.
'Do you think, you suspicious Nihilisti"
he cried, in passion, "that ] should have
come TO you unless every other resource
had failed me} Not l. Directly l dis
covered my Olga lived, / used every
available effort to trace her. Do you
suppose my desire is to bring you and her

Zach | see, exclaimed Dagmar, her
emotion than it was their won't to be.
My beloved Olga lives. / will move
heaven and earth, but I'll find hertz
She believed Mark in his passion and
rudeness far more than In his sneering
pOliteness. She saw that his one great
desire was to trace Olga. Less clear to
her was his motive. Why had they ever
parted} There was veil of mystery in
the whole case that she could not ravel
Sufficient for her was it to know that her
darling lived-the only being she had ever
loved.
Marks anxiety to be aided in his dis
covery made her resolve to be on her
guard against helping him.
II knew you would exert yourself for
her recovery said Mark. I'm bring
you Jacob tonight. Meanwhile | should
like to see Resurrection Nelly"
''If you had the faintest spark of man
illness left in you, you would run miles the
other way!" declared Dagmar, angrily.
"You can go, Mark Boyd"
"But shan't, he retorted. at pleases

smell Of dinner, and l can help you eat it.

Guilty is to find him sober For some
reason best known to himself he tries to
avoid me when conscious"
You can leave me to discover Jacobin'
"Whatp' he exclaimed, fiercely, "you
refuse my help"
Your help and you together, now that
find you are as ignorant as myself"
but you'll tell me, good, clever Dag
mar, when l."
I'm make no promises. There now, go.
But where can Nelly be-"
The day passed on, but broughtno eluci-
dation. No Nelly returned. 1t was not
till night that Dagmar grew seriously
uneasy. At first Mark laughed and
said
Lost again; a second admirer has run
off with her"
How if she has returned to Slackaby,"
suggested Dagmar The idea was most
unpalatable to him. Finally he grew so
uneasy that he left. The next morning
he was back early. No Nelly still no let
ter nor sign from her. Then he was CON
vinced that the worst had happened, l. g.,
that she had gone to SlaCkaby, and he
prepared to bolt. Ere doing so, however,
he dared to stay to leave things EN- train
for the first object of his existence-the
| restoration of Olga. That was of equal
! importance to him with escaping Justice
| He fetched Jacob to Dagmar. But
| though she, with the subtlety of clever
brain, turned the poor besotted creature
inside out she could elucidate nothing
| further
''That he had had Mrs Barrv's ad-
! 6p0GG h1It had Lost ii Hon ~ mo ppf
Barry now but something quite different
He had seen her in London, and that was
| every word he knew about her"
| So there was no clue to Oglas vicinity
yet. All that Dagmar knew was that
she had been seen alive after the time
| pne had supposed she had attended her
| funeral. Au reste, she meant to search
for her.
His mind partly at rest concerning
! Ogla, inasmuch if he did not know much
about her nobody else did, Mark babe
! adieu to Dagmar.
''Nelly viii turn up like bad half
penny he SAID. "Ah, but what young
person did you say she met from Slack
| aby?"
"Her name was Leah Dawson. How
| green you look"
But he was gone. The name was sufi-
i cient for him
| Nelly did not return, and nothing be
| came known about her. If was very
mysterious disappearance, and caused
| Dagmar great vexation, because she was
| seriously uneasy as to her fate If she
could only have seen where she was, and
who with-Ah, me! what singular coin
cidences happen in real lifel Truth
| apres tout, is stranger than fiction; and
so the final recovery of Nelly was to
! prove.
