there at such an hour2 That he was
surprised at not finding. his bravoes
awaiting him was very certain, for
he looked up the street, down the
street, peered into Holywell street,
where, thank goodness, he did not
see me, then along the Strand in a
westerly direction, and afterwards
came and took up his position within
half a dozen PAGES of where I was
hidden. Presently~he took a cigar
case from his pocket, opened it, Sc
lecteda weed, and struck a match to
light it. The flame illumined his face
so that could see it distinctly. If
had not had myself well under CON
troll, believe I should have uttered
an exclamation of surprise that could
not have failed to attract attention.
The man who had set those rascals
on to try and get rid of me was
none other than Mr.. Edward Bayley,
the managing director of the Santa
Cruz Mining company of the Argen-
tine Republics! -r~-~...- -.

CHAPTER v.

I must confess that the discovery
I had made behind St. Martins
church, and which described at the
end of the previous chapter, had
proved too much for me. What pos
sible reason could Mr.. Bayley have
for wanting to rid himself of me?
Only the morning before he had been
anxious to secure my services in the
interests of his company, and now
here he was hiring a couple of ruff
fans to prevent me from doing my
work, if not to take my life. When
I reached my hotel again, and went
to bed, I lay awake half the night

life, it will impress her child more than
any dogma that can be inculcated in her
in lengthy lectures. If. added to this. the
mother has the sef-contro to notice the
child's little fads and fancies and treat
them respectfully and if the child be al
lowed the largest liberty consistent with
the proper care of her. there will be little
to fear for her future. Most girls will
sedulously avoid errors which their moth
ers do not daily commit. A good exam
pie is the practical demonstration of a
moral theory. and is worth more than all
the sermoniZing one can utter.
Too many mothers forget good manners
in intercourse with their children. They
do not use the little elcgancies which. if
forgotten toward stranger. they would
consider objectionable. This obviously
is wrong. The habit of trusting children
to the care of servants in the nursery in
the formative period of their lives is a
very vicious one. no matter how trust
worthy the servants. No one can give
child that close attention which is
prompted by mothers love.
No mother can escape the dreadful re-
sponsibiity of the moral education of
her daughter. | confess to being unable
to give any formula for its performance
except self-abnegation and eternal vigil
lance. Ultra fashionable mothers may
say: 81 am too busy to devote myself to
my children" True. perhaps, but why!
The child has natural and first claim
to her mothers scdulous attention during
the formative period of her life. which
think is from birth to the twelfth or iif-
teenth year of her youth. and the claims
of society should be secondary to this
paramount duty.
