All right Every fsrthing the gallant
Old colonel can screw out of the affair IN
made over TO Mr.. kavanagh's account
toward the payment OF the mortgage
and VI he only has time he will Certainly
clear IL OF. The business is looking up
at tho pottery now. Three kilns are In
working order"
IL think you said that Mr.. Kavanaeh
mas Invested capital In other potteries."
Two or three small ones. He suap-
ped them up tho moment he heard tha>
Hintons were going to turn their busl-
ness into company, knowing that the
hrst object OF the company would be to
extend the works, which could only be
dSne by buying Mp thesa potteries.
And the result proved tina justice OF his
forethought. The company would give
him check for the whole lot at days
notice"
And transfer the mortgage on Bell

"Oh, yes; they would take the risk
OF pulling that through all right. A
young COMPANY, you know, sr, doesnt
stick 10 tribes"
And N the company chose TO FORE

Bell would be forced To abandon every

MIR. kavsnagh would indemnify him
out OF the handsome profit ho must
make on tho speculation"
Just so, as man OF honor, he
would" Rssented Mr.. Pelham. and then
turning TO mo, with the slightest indi-
cation OF wink, he said in tone OF
assurance: "Well, madame, you SEQ
your money Is quite safe. Thank you,
Mr. Brett. IL any ono calls. you can
say that shall be back in M hour"
The cab which had brought mo from
Waterloo stood at the door. We got In,
aud MIR. Pelham, having directed the
driver, said as he took tho seat beside
me:

Yes, they are the same"

or couso "A great deal was less clear to
me then than have tried TO make IL In
this narrative.
It's pretty clear that Kavanagh is
getting all his eggs Ia one basket for
the convenience OF selling out and bolt

arrangements are clearly made with n
view TO the possibility OF Mr.. Gordon's
return. i need not impress upon you
tho tremendous Importance OF secrecy.

There's ono thing | can't quite make

pause OF some minutes, "nnd that In
why he has not made his position still
moro secure by accepting at once the
oher made by this company. He knows
rs well IA most people tho value Of n
bird In the hand. II isn't likely that
man who has shown himself devoid OF
principle and feeling should DO restrain
ed by consideration for an old man
that he should jeopardize his own fu-
ture, though only In slight measure,
merely to keep Colonel Bell out OF the
workhouse. think we shall find that
he has some stronger motive for this
delay"
When the cab stopped, Mr.. Pelham
left mo and took the check into the
bank. In n few minutes no returned

directed the cabman TO drive 60 Hounds
