crush down the surg1ng emotions at
work below. Gray had no words at
command.
For q little while the silence remained
unbrolxen: then Mrs. Lumsden stopped
abruptly in her walk, and fixing her
large. dark ewes, luminous with a somber
fire, full on the American, she said:
You ask me, Mr.. Gray, to give you
my daughters hand. My answer to you
is first do something to prove yourself
worthy of the gift. You are here in
London, idling away your time, with no
object beyond the amusement of the
hour, and yet the assassin of the father
Of her you would make your wife is still

ished and you have never so much as

DIR. Hynton, ma'am," said the parior
maid.
Gray rose as the doctor entered. The
widow gave him her hand, and with a
smile that had in it much of her old
sweetness, said:
''YOu will excuse me now, will You
not, Mr.. Gray? You must come and see
me again few days hence 1t may be
that | have talked little at random to-
day, but if you could only partially
realize what have gone through, you
would know how to make allowance for
me-
Gray bent and touched her fingers
with his lips and withdrew He had
scarcely been ten minutes in the house
and had not spoken more than dozen
words.
Without protesting to be actuated by
any other motive than one of simple
curiosity, when Gray related to his
uncle the result of the interview he
drew him on to talk about the crime
with frankness he had never exhibited
before. Mr. Orde was by nature q
man of caution and reserve, and not
even to his nephew had he heretofore
confded the particulars in connection
with Eustace Crake, nor how his sus-
picions, unsupported though they were
by any direct evidence, pointed unequiv-
ocally to him as being the criminal
Today, however, he told his nephew
everything. 1t was as though the latter
had brought away from his interview
with Mrs. Lumsden a pass key to the
secret chamber of his uncle's mind.
AS he left the house he said to him
self:
Tomorrow | will seek out and make
the acquaintance of Mr.. Eustace Crake."
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1895-03-11

"HeSh, but you aCOn't sec me tomorrow"
1t was three weeks later. Marcus
Gray had been as good as his word. Not
only had he made Crake's acquaintance
in the interim, but by this time the two,
to employ an expressive locution, had
become as ''thick as thieves" He had
sought out Crake at the billiard room
of the FlagOn and Cask, the tavern
which Inspector Fountains report to
Mr.. Orde had mentioned as being his
favorite house Of call. Gray's role had
been that of a simple young American
over in London for a holiday, with 10
lack of money to fling away, and not
caring much how he got rid of it so long
as he saw plenty of life in return 1t
was part he played to perfection, and
Crake chung to him like a leech from
the moment he found that the supply Of
Bovereigns to be squeezed out of him in
one way or another had no apparent
limit. They got into the way of meet
ing regularly about two o'clock in the
afternoon, when Crake, who was really
a crack player, would for the next two
hours give lessons to his new found
friend in the art and mystery of billiards,
always of co.Srse for a consideration.
Later on they would dine and spend the
evening together, equally of course at
The Americans expense.
For the present there was only one
hing that Gray stuck out against He
would have nothing to do with the bet
ting on the turf, but Crake by no means
despaired of being able by and by to
overcome prejudice SO puritanical and
absurd and one at the same time so
inimical to Ills own interests.
On the night to which we have now
come Gray and Crake left the Flagon
and Cask together, as they had done
several times before. 1t was half past
twelve and closing time, and no sooner
had they crossed the threshold than the
door was shut and bolted behind them.
They had been playing billiards to-
gether since eight o'clock, Crake Of
course giving his opponent certain
number of points, Notwithstanding
which the American had lost every
game but two. Tonight, too, he had
insisted on backing his play for half
sovereign a game, and as by some mis-
chance-it was thing which had never
happened before-he had fallen short of
y money, the result had been that

Somewhat removed from the city of Prov

Little Sisters of the Poor. Here a COM

Mother Aurelia presides over this we'll

Their chief remedy is good old Pain-Killer,
which most of the old folks used when they
were children and which now cures the pains

AS is to be expected, the aged inmates of

attention, although, so carefully are they
tended, few are rarely sick enough to be in
the hospital wing at any one time. But all
of them are subject to the many disabilities
of old age, and 50 Pain-KilIer las come

Mother Aurelia says that Pain-Killer has

a massage with pure Pain-KiIIer. When

That is why the Cures by Hoods
Sarsaparilla are permanent. They do
not rest upon the insecure support of
temporary stimulant, opiate or nerve a
compound, but upon the solid founda-
ton of vitalized, enriched and purified
blood. Read this:
The cure of Olive Carl by Hoods
Sarsaparilla has few equals in medical
history. The testimonial was first
published two years ago, and a late
letter from her mother says Olive con-
tlnues in good health and " We are
satisfied her remarkable cure by

Briefly stated the case was this: "When

surprised us greatly by telling US that we

of Gray, giving him as part of the

Can YOU oblige me, Mr. Crale, by in.
forming me when and from whom the
notes in question came into your posses

Crake bit his lip hard for moment or
two. as if the pain might help him to
keep down the nervous trembling that
was beginning to overmaster him. Then
he said:
Really, you ask me more than 1 am

Crake considered awhile and then
shook his head.

THAT you will presently learn. In

were guilty of the murder"
"Ah!' was all that Crake could find
to say for moment. Then, after mois-
tening his lips with his tongue, he added
"You will pardon me if fail to see in
what way that fact connects itself with
the notes paid over by me to Mr. Gray
My cousin, Mr.. Charles Lumsden, in "A

"but that does not imply that there may

On their arrival at Scotland Yard In

he held brief colloquy in low voice.

and clutched at the lapel Of his COM
panion's coat.
Craze drew the others arm within his
own, and as they strolled up the street
together he said:
81 suppose had better hail the first
hanson we como across?'
70 which Gray, who had left his
uncles mouse some time before and was
now in lodgings at the west end, re-
piled:
Fright you are, dear boy; only
haven't got q blessed sou to pay the
cabby with" Here he gave lurch
which carried Crake and himself half
across the pavement.
''My dear fellow, as if my purse
wasn't at your servicep' exclaimed Crake
reproachfully.
A second or two later Gray came to
an unsteady halt.
''Crake," he said with tipsy gravity,

Cant see it, my boy What is it that
you have done?"
I've given you o . for the money

There's no place open where you could
get it changed. But what does it mat

when | see you tomorrow"
"Yesh, but you won't see me tomor-

lurch and a hiccough. "Going to Paris
by morning train. Telegram. Forgot
all about it till now. Mush go. Be
back in fortnight or three weeks. If
you can't change note, l O U mush stand
over till | come back"
For full minute or more Crake stood
in silent thought. The chances were,
he argued, that if the American once
got as far as Paris nothing more would
be seen of him in London, in which case
his l O U would be SO much waste paper.
The sum was not a large one, but Crake
was by no means minded to lose it,
He set his teeth hard for a moment or
two and then he said:
eff you like to come with me as far
as my lodgings, think Lean perhaps
manage to change your note"
Half an hour later Marcus Gray was

his usual self-keen, alert and quietly
self possessed. In exchange for his
twenty pound note Crake had given him
three five pound notes, his o U and
the balance in cash.
Eustace Crake was seated at breakfast
next morning, with sporting newspaper
supported against the hot water jug in
front of him, when the door of his sit
ting room was unceremoniously opened
and two men, entire strangers to him,
walked in and shut the door behind
them.
You are Mr.. Eustace Cralze?" said
the elder of the two interrogatively.
Crake nodded
Il am Inspector Fountain, of Scotland
Yard" added the officer.
On the instant every vestige of color
faded out of Crake's face, leaving it of a
gray, corpselike pallor. For few mo-
ments he was like man suddenly smit-
ten with the loss of speech; then, with
grimace which he evidently meant for
smile, he said:
