Sir Jasper looked in to see me twice

reasserted themselves ard asked him
eagerly:

Eyes, you are still in Lord What's

Where to?

London"
But Why why-do you want TO
move me at night?'
For the same reason that ! brought
you here for at night" answered Sir
Jasper, frankly-''in order that you
may not be able, by employing your ge-
ographical instincts, to discover the
locality Of his Lordship's house, which
would be the same thing as discovering
his Lordships identity. / have no
doubt that you are dying of curiosity
| But, owing to the circum
stances at which have already hint
ed, it is undesirable that your curiosi-
ty should be for the present. at any
rate, satisfied. You must not think us
unreasonable; especially as you have
been 60 handsomely paid for your SER
wees. And all being well, that is to
say, If the result OF the operation upon
my patient is such, as hope, ! shall
enlighten you in due course.
So with this promise | was fain to
be content.

at Somerset House. Before | left his
home, Sir Jasper had exacted from me

OF what had occurred, adding that the
further 20Ou pounds, which he hoped,
in 10 long time, TO be in a position to
pay over 20 me, would be contingent
upon this promise being observed.

promise, and | was scrupulously care

weeks grew into months, the months
into years, and | heard nothing more
from him, until | was driven to the
conclusion that the operation had been
Tess successful than he had expected
and that those 1000 pounas would not
come nay way after all.
But at last. three years later, when
had long abandoned ell hope, Sir
Jasper himself LOOKED in one evening

In the course of lurther explanations
