Sir Robert Finlay, the new attorney
general. like most counsel with a large
practice, knows what it is to receive {,
disconcerting reply from an apparently
guileless witness. and tells good sto-

was engaged in a case of breach of
warranty of a horse, the age Of the
animal being the chief matter in con-
troversy. and he had to cross-examine
a hostler, a yokel, with every appear.

to the age Of the mare?" he asked.

CHAPTER XXXVIII.
False Friends and True.

1t was about two weeks after the
events narrated in our last chapter
that young officer, dressed in a hand
some uniform, rode up the avenue
reading to Greylawns, and, dismount-
ing at the door, was warmly welcomed
by Miss Marian.
'sThis is indeed. an unexpected pleas
ure," she said, leading him into the
parlor. 81 thought you were exiled
for six months, at least, Lieutenant.
Do sit down here by the fire and ex-
plain your appearance"

from Fannie Fenton Forest replied,
in an amazed tone, "and l came on at
once to ask for an explanation. Is
anything wrong at Give Towers?"
Dear me, wrong?" repeated Miss
Marian, meaningly. "Have you not
heard? But I forget-you have been
away so long. and everything has been
kept as quiet as possible You know
Mr.. Robert Give is dead?"

though It was all laid to some wild
gypsy or mulatto woman's door, there
are whispers about that Herbert Give

to. tell. There We're family secrets in
the womnn's possession that it would
not do to let loose. And DR.. Bond is
at the Towers now, though he will
give no explanation Of his presence

of this morning, goodness knows
where, and they say there is another
heir coming from Europe, and that

True Steel.

Late that.same evening DR.. Bond sat
alone in his cosy study. He was
clancing at letter he had received
that day-a letter written ina dainty,
feminine hand, and bearing the post
mark of Il far-off Swiss-town.
Poor little girlv' murmured the doc
tor to himself. :"She never forgets a
promise. She writes to the old man,

"Doctor, doctor-oh, doctor! There's

his big Black eyes open to their fullest
capacity. ,1'She's got some dreadful sort
of fit. on her, an she's a-callin for you"
"Car l come in?' said sepulchral
voice at the door, and the tall form of
Rizrah, looking like.some CHASTITY, ash
en- corpse, appeared on the threshold.
."Let me come in and-and die-die in
peace! I have i'll have it!' and She
waved paper package above her head
with wild triumph. "Look to it, Har-

had fallen from the dying woman's

into the dark-brown eyes that poor
Fannie had thought wells of truth-"I

there was always something about

Two months ago the only building at

days when the creeks swarmeu With
