DO you imagine that fellow did not
know whom he was addressing this
morning Certainly he did! 'LuttreF
is by no means a common name, anu
directly he saw Miss Luttrell posted
in the visitors book he guessed no
doubt who you were and asked some
one to point you out to him. Conse-
quently he has taken the first oppor-
tunity Of beginning an acquaintance
when l dare say he intends TO ioiio"
up rs speedily as possible. An Lady
Howard"-here he threw open the door
of the room which Evelyn mad ior-
saken a few minutes BEFORE nave
found your niece and brought her back
to you. Here she is
"And. by way Of improving the occa-

of his valuable advice, announced
EVELYN. going up to Lady Howard anu
bending down to kiss her as she SAT
at the head OF the breakfast table, sui
handsome, good-looking woman IN
spite of the lines Of care across hei
forehead and the silvery threads OF
hair distinctly visible beneath the sou
folds Of her widows cap.
81 was only cautioning your niece
against a fellow whom l noticed play
ing rather high in the billiard room
last night, and with whom she had
the ill-luck to have occasion to speak
this morning" protested Falkland,
strolling up to the window and gazing
ont with all the air Of man who was
at home in her ladyship's private SIT
ting room.
ITO speak? My dear Eve, what nave
you been doing" asked Lady Howard
in alarm.
Nothing. Aunt LYDIA" answered
Miss Luttrell, with a decided little
shake of her head. do not agitate

This poor innocent man who has sucn
wicked designs on us only handed me
this letter'-throwing down the nap
less-looking note upon the table
that Is all"
"And, as an old friend, knowing
what thoroughbred scoundrels habit
ually frequent places Of this descrip'

"Oh. ask Mr.. Falkland" answered
Evelyn in a deprecating tone. "H'

and perhaps-who knows?-joined MIN
in some of his high play"
Falkland accepted the little tauh
with an air of praiseworthy compla

Howard.
"Well. I believe he goes by the ele
CANT name of Brown That is vagu
enough, you would think; but his ad
dress of London only-Brown OF Lon
don-is wagner STILL"
Eyes, indeed; anybody would hav
difficulty in tracing him. But that re
minds me. AS you came in, l wa
just reading in the paper that. ID

ooh, no, thank you! I have jus
told Henry to have some ready for m
in the coffee room; so l will not kee
you from yours. But you were say

"Only that they fancy they have a
last found clue to the whereabout
of that man who committed those fear
full forgeries about twelve months ago,
added Lady Howard, pouring out tn
coffee and passing a cup across I
Evelyn. You. remember the Beat
champ case, which made such CON
