have thought Of one thinG-taat new
Continental paper started by Lord Harry.
Wherever she may be, Lady Harry is al
most sure to see that. Put an advertise
ment in it addressed to her, stating that
you have not heard of her address, but
sent TO some post-otlice which you can find.
l think that such an advertisement will
draw n reply from her, unless she desires
to remain in seclusion."
Fanny thought the suggestion worth
adopting. After NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., she
drew up an advertisement:
Fanny NJ. to @H- | nave not
been ableto ascertain YOUR address. Please
write to me, at the Post-Oifice, Hunter
street, London, w. c."
She paid for the insertion of this adver-
tisement three times on alternate Satur-
days. They told her that this would be
n more likely way thnn to take three sue
cesSive Saturdays. Then, encouraged by
the feeling that something, however little
had been done, she resolved to sit down
and to write outa narrative i'll which she
would setaown in order everything that

TO keep to the strictest fidelity as regards
the facts. For it was no. her desire to
make up charges and accusations. She
wanted to find out the exact truth, aud so
to set 1t down that anybody who read her
statement would arrive at the same con
clusion as she herself had done. In this
case of an eyewitness there are thousands
of things which cannot be produced in
evidence which yet are most important in
directing and confirming suspicious. The
attitude, the voice, the look of Il speaker,
the things which he conceals as well ms
the things which he reyeals-all these are
evidence. But these Fanny was unable
to set down. Therefore it behoovcd her
to be strictly careful.
First, she stated how she become aware
that there was some secret scheme under
consideration between Lord Harry and
the doctor. Next, she set down the fact
that they began to talk French to zach

stand them; that they spoke of deceiving
Lady Harry by some statement which had
already deceived the authorities: that the
doctor undertook to get the lady out Of
the house: that they engaged herself as
nurse TO a sick man: that she suspected
from the beginning that their design was
to profit in some way by the death of this
sick man. who bore a slight resemblance
to Lord Harry himself. And so on. fol
lowing the story as closely as she could
remember, to the death OF the Dane and
her own subsequent conversation with
the nurse. She was careful to put in the
dates, day after day. When she had done
all this-it took a good deal of time-she
bought a manuscript book and coried it
all out. This enabled her to remember
two or three facts which had escaped her
at the beginning. Then she made another
%copy-this time without names of people
or place. The second copy she forwarded
with a letter OF which this was the con-
clusion: Considering, therefore. that on

In perfect health; considering that on the

somewhere or other, Lord Harry is alive
and well.
What have they done it for? First of
all, ! suppose. to get money. If it were
not for the purpose of getting money the
doctor would have had nothing to do with
the conspiracy, which was his own inven-
ton. That is very certain. Your idea
was they would try to get money of
the Insurance Offices. 1 suppose that is
their design. Bin Lord Harry may have
many other secret reasons of his own for
wishing to be Thought dead. They say
his life has been full of wicked things, and
he may well wish to be considered dead
andlyone. Lots of wicked men wouldlike
above all things, 1should think, to be con
sidered dead aud buried. But the money

What could they dor These two women
had got hold of n terrible secret. Neither
of them could move. 1t was too big u
thing. One canDo5 expect II woman to

and horror OF the gallows II murder should
be proved-or to q lifelong Imprisonment,
II the conspiracy alone should be brought
home to him. Therefore Mrs. Viinpan,
could do nothing. AS for Fanny. the mera
thought OF the pain she would infiict up
on her mistress were Lord Harry through
her interference to be brought to Jus.
lice and an infamous sentence kept her
quiet.
