s:Vell, he won't die of it," answered
the doctor, with twinkle in his eye.
George was SO much excited and re-.
| lieved by the discovery he had just
made that he answered in tone which
showed him to be in the best OF spirits:
Its nothing at all; it's a mere
scratch, Miss Lowe. Please don't make
yourself unhappy"
/ The girl turned slowly round, reveal
ing most woe-begone and grief
stricken countenance. She looked anx-
'iously at her father, and seeing by the
expression of his face that she had
really not done much harm, she began
| to dry her tears, although she still
carefully avoided meeting Llewellyn's
| eyes.
my dear" said DR.. Lowe, "go into
| the surgery and get me the box where
/ keep my bandagcs. l can finish this
business here, for it won't take me
minute, and it's cold in there"
AS soon as his daughter had left the
room. the old doctor burst into a fit of
laughter.
Il shall break her heart if she hears
me laughing" said he, wiping his eyes.
!"Just now when came in, by the back
way. as | usually do at night, | found
her waiting for me- waving black bag
in triumph over my head, and telling
me she had caught thief. And sho
was so proud, poor child, of having in
weighed you in here, and detained you
so long. She said she was in an agony
of fear, lest should be late, and you
would get away, bag and all
sBnt" asked George, when the doc
| tor had finished another roar of laugh
ter, what made her take me for q
thief? Surely a man may carry bag
without any dishonest intention?''
"Shc's an operator at the telegraph
| Office. and she was at the instrument,
when message came through to say
| that two thieves with stolen securities
were coming down
George stared for a moment in silence
at the doctor, and then began to laugh.
1t was annoying to have gone through
all the revulsions of feeling of the past
hour for nothing, as it were.

"Well, she met policeman on her
way home, who told her that the thieves
| had been seen to come in this direc-
| ton"
Then George put a practical question
which betrayed the interest he felt in
his fair captor:
''And do you let that young girl wall.
homo by herself late at night over this
wild country?'
The doctor shrugged his shoulders.
"Shes as sclf-willed as ever she can
be- In fact, she's getting too much for
me-" said DR.. Lowe, with sigh.
II meet her in the town when can and
bring her home. But the gypsy won't
wait for me, and she carries q revolver,
as you have reason to know. Here she
comes again. For goodness sake say
something to her SO that she may not
sec me laughing"
Fortunately for everybody in the
rather strained state of affairs, vio-
lent ringing and knocking at the front
door startled them all, and diverted
attention from the awkward occur
renee.
Miss Lowe ran to the outer door, for

lips to the wine. Then he put the
glass, with firm hand, down on the
table.
ssYou must excuse me" said he
shortly. eThs wine is dragged
She was very near to him as he
spoke. The next moment she had
snatched the bag from his hand and
sprung to the door. In the second
which followed the seizure she had got
such good start that she was able to
slam the door in his face as he pursued
her. By the time he had opened the
door she had reached the extreme end
OF the long, narrow hall which ran
through the house from the front to
the back, and was pointing revolver
at him as he darted after her.
"If you follow me, Ill fire." she
shrieked.
CHAPTER IL-CoNcLUDED
He attempted to follow, not needing
the warning. Ping! Ping! He heard
two shots, and felt himself hit in the
right arm. Notwithstanding this,
however, he darted after her. But he
was too late. She disappeared through
the door at the end Of the hall, and he
heard the key turn on the other side.
I He threw himself with all his force
against the door, but with no result.
Then, finding that he was wasting his
time, he ran back to the dining-room,
and leapt out of the window into the
snow-covered flower border under
meath. The snow was falling as fast
as ever, and he sank in it inches deep
as he looked for way out.
: But he found that he was caught in
a trap indeed, for the WALL which was
too high to climb, inclosed the house.
with it's stables and garden. the whole
way round. He made for the wooden
door in the wall by which he had first
entered the premises, and as he did SO,
he trod upon something hard, which
was lying in the path. Looking down,
he saw, to his surprise, a bag, SO thinly
covered with snow that it had evident
ly only lain there few seconds.

Il beg pardon, doctor; but I've got a
Job for you here outside. We've caught
the thief; he had got about a mile be-
yond here, when he found us close be-
hind, and he jumped over a wall to get
away from US, and broke his leg, not
KNOWN there was drop on the far
side. He must have thrown away the
bag he carried with the swag, for he
left the town with one, but had none
when we picked him up"
SIS this it, by any chancc?" asked
George, producing the bag he had
found in the garden outside.
An examination of the contents
proved that this was indeed the case;
and the thief, when he was confronted
with it, confessed that he had thrown
it into the garden Of the doctors house
as he ran past, thinking that the high
wall would mark the spot sufficiently
for him to return and recover it if he
should evcde his purseers.
When asked what had become of the
woman who had accompanied him
down in the train, he explained that
he and she had parted on finding them
selves pursued and that she had made
for the village of St. Plccids.
George Llewellyn remained ct the
doctors house that night; and, although
there was shyness between Lily, the
daughter, and himself, he had very
pleasant chat with his host, who ex-
planned that they had left his old
house in the village for the one which
! they now inhabited.
And the shyness between the young
people wore off before George went
away on the following day, for this lit
tie bit of dialogue passed between
them:
SIT was very stupid of me not to rec
ognizc you"
Recognize me! How absurd Why,
when you came here last. fifteen years
ago, you were only ten and ] was
fiver'
"Do you think you will recognise me
next time I Gomez
What, in another fifteen years?"
"No, in less than that"
Perhaps l may"
| And George Llewellyn came again so
soon, and comes SO often, that the doc
tor feels sure it will end in his taking
| lily away with him.

Pocket knife blades are very unevenly
tempered. Even in so-callcd standard
cutlery some blades are hard and some
are soft. For the latter there is remedy,
but the temper OF hard blades can easily
be drawn slightly. Take a Kitchen poker

Without answering George put up
his hand to throw back the catch OF the
window.

s'you are not obliged to go out that
way. If you will take glass of wine

hospitality. will open the door for
you immediately"
Without waiting for an answer she
left the room, and returned in very
few moments with a decanter of wine,
which she placed upon the table. With
out needing the fact that he had opened
the window. and was evidently on the
point of making his escape by that way,
she poured out glass of wine, and
offered it to him with her own hand,
coming round the table and holding IT
close to him.

well afford to try such simple prevcn-
