You are jesting," said Isabel, sur

CHAPTER ~.

RAYMOND AND MANGAN DECLARE WAR.
Philip Mortimer, the registrar of ar
reals, was lieutenant of Francis Ray
mond. Both men were lawyers. They
had studied in the same office and had
succeeded to the practice of their pa
tron. There was much friendship be-
tween them. 1t was a sincere friend
ship on Mortimer's part.
Raymond had the stronger will C
the two. Mortimer was completely
under his control. He had lifted him
up as he advanced himself, not that he
desired TO honor him, but that he was
useful. Mortimer had such an exagger-
ated idea of Raymond's difficulty to
place him, where so many were clam
oring for preferment, that his spirit Of
gratitude developed into subserviency,
completely obliterating every quality
that would interfere with tho perform
ance of any duty Raymond might i'm
pose. He had been named as registrar
of arrears because it suited Raymond
that was all.
To be sure Mortimer's sister had
been receiving the attentions of the po-
litical chieftain and imagined, as Nor
timer did, that no was sincere. Some
times Raymond himself thought the
same, but the truth was, though he
might not at all times own it, that he
sought Inez Mortimer's companionship
as relaxation from life otherwise
exciting. Poor Mortimer believed that
Raymond's favors were partly due to
tho regard in which his sister was held
by his political sponsor, and in this be-
lief his devotion to Raymond steadily
increased. Mortimer was q consump-
tive, but his work took little of his time
and exacted no exertion beyond visiting
Raymond at stated times and making
his reports; so he was as hopeful and
buoyant as consumptives, free from the
other vexations of life, usually are.
Raymond occupied a house in a re-
spectacle section of the city. He could
easily keep an establishment in the
most aristocratic quarter, but 1t WASH t
policy to do so. His home was luxuri-
ously furnished and cared for by a
woman whom he called his niece, and
whom the world believed to bear that
relation to him. She was charming
hostess Her queenly grace and win
ming manners assured her the entree to
some of the best circles, and as society
never questioned her standing why
should we? She is nothing to US, be-
yond figure exemplifying how Ray
mond lived.
In the well appointed library Morti-
mer is received by his chief. The regis
trar OF arrears is nervous. He has made
unusual haste to reach Raymond's S home
and plainly shows that something out
