"You will come back again." Jas
4 sniins said. looking in his face with an
expression Of such pitiful appeal as
almost overcame Enderby. II am all
,alone-there is no one I know in all
~,tondon whom I could ask to be with
I me, and I am afraid! I never have
been that before"
q shall come back, my child; do
y aot be afraid" said Enderby gently.
He went out.
1t was easy enough to get what he
wanted In that district-a small flask
Ut brandy.
Enderby was, as has been said, a
total abstainer, and never touched any
intoxicant, but he believed the strong
stimulant was Of use as a medicine,
. especially in a case when the flicker
4 of life Is very low.
Then he went to the nearest post
ONCE to dispatch telegram to Doctor
Bunthorne.
IS AS he came out Of the postofflce he
came face to face with Digby Dalton
The latter smiled, lifting his hat.
"Pray excuse me, I am in a hurry"
said Enderby, endeavoring to pass the
other.
II can 60 in your direction, and shall
hot retard your progress" returned the
other, in the sneering tone which End
erby knew hid something Of malicious
triumph. II have to thank you, Mr..
Enderby, for great kindness-inten-
tional or the reverse-which you have
bne me-"
"Indeed?' said Enderby coldly.
u Eyes. It is, in fact, the passing
lover. to me Of chance such as few
men have SO early in their career as
4. Sir Henry Lennox has told me
you had the first offer of the position
s,of junior counsel in the great Brown
low Pearl case which is now pending"
,$ Enderby started slightly; Dalton,
with q malicious smile, went on:
7 am not too naughty to refuse to
wear your rejected shoes, you see, Mr..
Enderby. have reason to believe
that the whole case is now in proper
the only difficulty hitherto be-
Bette rather important one, Of ignor-
y OF the culprit's whereabouts.
SO have now been discovered, and
jelieve Mr.. Paul Enderby might
We been able to enlighten us re-
4 arding these some time ago."
Enderby started again, then turned
( and faced the other man with an ex-
preston which made the malicious
triumph of Dalton's face fall a lit
tile.
II see you have not scorned to act
the part of the spy, Mr., Dalton. Let
me tell you you are quite welcome to
continue so honorable career, if you
choose. do know Mr.. David Lloyd
and his daughter, if you mean to In
sinuate that. At the same time, If they
have anything to do with that case, let
me assure you their whereabouts have
been known to those who are con-
nected with the prosecuting side long
before they were known to me. Now,
II you will pardon me, Mr.. Dalton, 1
shall leave you. If you wish me to
put the matter more plainly, l decline
TO walk In your company"
The other turned livid.
Il suppose you are aware that Sir
Lennox and Miss Lennox cannot long
remain In ignorance of your UNDER
hand and deceitful course of conduct"
Enderby bowed coldly.
Il have the honor of wishing you
eood-day, Mr.. Dalton"
He went on, leaving the other to
look after him, with baffled rage and
wrath depicted in his face.
$50 the bolt is about to fall" he
said to himself. 1T is inexplicable
why it has never done so until now.
Why has Dundas Lyndon known the
whereabouts Of this poor dying man
for 50 long and never revealed them
70 the authorities? Has he kept it
a secret from Sir Henry also? And has
Sir Henry only now discovered it,"
His mind wandered to the rawlings
Of the dying man. Who was the "Hal'
whom he was addressing. Could it be
= name which Lyndon himself could
Lay claim? Enderby did not know the
Christian name Of the latter.
Jasmine opened the door as soon as
she heard his low rap.
He has fallen into a kind of doze.
Of else It is the Inconsistencies that
comes before the end" she whispered.
Come in and see him."
AS Enderby entered he asked:
Has he had any one seeing him to-
day."
Yes" she answered. 1.-THE friend
who came to see him when nrst we
came here. I do not know who he is:
father would not tell me. He is tall
and fine looking, and looks a great
man nan He came today about 10, and
stayed with father for a while. I did
a see him 60 away-he went out
himself; but father was terribly weak
ma III after he left. He kept on say
Ing to himself again and again:
And It vas for his sake-for their
