CHAPTER XXVI.

1t was all over. The mortal remains OF
poor Callander were laid to rest beside
those of the wife he loved too well.
The only members of his family who fol.
lowed him to the grave were a couple of
distant cousins. Mrs. Callander was in
strange state Of nervous depression.

severe attack of low fever, Egerton-

Standish was the so.e representative.
A few days after he had once more
settled to the ordinary routine of his life.
he paid visit to tie lawyer at his re-
quest, for Col. Callander, a few days be-
fore his unexpected death, had by a codi
ril revoked his appointment of Egerton as
executor and named S;aDdish III his
Place, requesting that so long rs Dorothy
was unma rried she should remain with
his children.
After examining the will Standish lef'
the lawyers and walked toward his ow,
lodgings in somewhat deep thought
He was uneasy about Dorothy, who had
not left her room since the day he had
broken the news Of Callander's disappear
ance to her. She was very weak. Mrs
McHugh reported, and apparently quite
anything.
"What an age it is since I've seen her

again for three or four days" Then his
thoughts wandered to Dillon. HIS 81

was anxious that she should return to her
temporary home and to Dorothy.

announcement of "Mr. Dulon," and the
detective entered, fresh, cool, self satis-

A nice way to keep wax for the
