Wednesday Night, Jan. 3o.-Arthur
was waiting at the coppice and again
poured out the passionate entreaty that
I would fly with him. I told him about
Mentone. Then he held my hand in a
clasp that hurt me and breathed hard
the words seemed wrung from him:
My darling, iistenl You will go tc
London on Friday, but I will meet you
there, and we will be married ct once.
Then I was sobbing in his arms, and he
was comforting me.
ssJan. 31.-Tomorrow I am to become
Arthur's wife. What JOY that should
mean to me! And yet my heart is
heavy. 1 ought not to take this step. 1t

Il love him, and all the world is as
nothing to me against my love for him.
Had papa shown me the slightest affec-

way, but have never known what it
was to be loved by him. How can re,
jeot the true love Of the man I worship?
Tomorrow, Arthur, I shall be yours
yours foreverl
..Feb. 8.-We have been married q

ill luck followed him, for he ran straight
into the arms Of q policeman who was
passing.
His wonderful fertility Of resource
now stood him in good stead.
Quick, ofhcer!" he said. "Don't
lose q moment. Murder and robbery!"
and ne dashed. up the steps, almost
dragging the policeman after him.

alarmed, particularly SO as Gates had
not returned In one hand he carried a
bag and in the other he held life pre-
server. The policeman turned ON his
lantern straight into his face, binding
him for the moment, and in the next
he leveled him on the floor with his
trunoheon and then flung himself ON
top Of him. Fitzgerald struggled hard,
for he was still game, but the officer
! and the footman managed to hold him
down and finally handcuf him.
Here said the policeman when
this had been accomplished, detaohing
his whistle, tyou go to the front and

The servant did so, and in a few min
utes couple more policemen were in
the house.

protests, was now further secured, and
the officers proceeded to make investi-

first object that met their eyes was the

The footman ran off for the doctor
and the others busted themselves over
Brett. They tried to stop the flow Of
blood with bandages, and loosened the
clothes round his neck. Then they could
only wait for the arrival Of the doctor.
He SOON made his appearance and,
after rapid examination, he shook his
head. 1t was bad case, he said, If not
hopeless.
sWell, I'm blest!'' said the ssr
who had first come on the scene, as a
bright idea struck him. "I'll bet the

me the information was the other onel"
Fitzgerald pricked up his ears.
"What was he like, ofioer?''
The policeman paused refectively.
