CHAPTER xxl.-contInued.


One member Of the household was
soon to discover this. Miss Perkins
came upon him Unexpectedly, as he
was STOPPING, with his back toward
her, and apparently engaged in close
ly examining the keyhole OF the door
belonging TO his masters private
room.
What's that you're doing?" she
cried, sharply.
The individual thus addressed start.

ground with chlnk-something
which he Immediately covered with
his foot before he turned and faced
her without making any reply.
You've changed your ways lately"
she said, seeing he made no answer,
''and always hanging about this door.
What's your game, | should like to
know. Anyhow, you aren't up to no
good. People as gets into respectable
houses under false names very seldom
is up to any goodi"
With this Parthian shaft she turned
away and left him. looking back once

malicious smile, as she marked the
effect it had produced. What did she
mean by that remark of hers about
false name? How could she have
found It out? The shot was too near
the bulls eye to have been fired at
random. Good heavens! Was it pos
sible she could have any suspicion of
the real truth?

formation--Ah-l
He few upstairs at a tremendous
rate, fight after fight, to the top Of
the house, to his own room, burst the
door open and entered.
There was a modest looking box
in the corner of the room-a box
which contained his few belongings.
Had he remembered to relock this
on the last time when he had occasion
to resort to It?
No, the lid offered no resistance to
his hand.
He began to turn over the articles
which 1t contained, but could not hit
Mexico Missouri message., 1904-03-10

upon the thing he was in search Of.
The little shabby prayer book, contain
ing his real name in his fathers own
handwriting, was gone! Gone! Stolen!
That hateful woman, with her sly,
cat-like step and hypocritical ways,
had taken advantage of his one act OF
carelessness, in leaving the box un-
locked, to pry into its contents and
carry on the most compromising
article OF all.
Well, the damage was done, and
could not be repaired. The only thing
now, was to try and stave on the dis
covery of the double part he had
been playing a little while longer.
After a time he rose from his grow
cling attitude with his mind fully
made up. There was only one course
to pursue, and he would pursue 1t.
He must appear totally ignorant of
the theft, and receive every allusion or
insInuation with an affected utter lack
of comprehension. Let her suspect
what she might, let her act and talk
as she would, he must keep up the
delusion and try to bafiie her for at
least one more day. Or else, If she
seemed inclined to show her teeth-if
she appeared disposed to be danger
GUS, he must hurry on the matter.
A little later in the day, as he was
absently staring out Of a window in
the hall, he heard a faint, rustling
sound, and, looking up, saw Miss Fer
rers descending the staircase. He
allowed his eyes to rest upon her for
an instant, telling himself that bis op-
portunities for doing so would soon
be at an end now.
She must have felt his glance, for
q certain air OF embarrassment seem
ed to fall upon her. and the color rose
in her face.
Then she gave herself sn impatient
twitch, as though she said to herself,

Perkins Revenge.

Friday morning came, bringing with
1t, about eleven o'clock, message
which struck a feeling Of chill fore
boding to the heart Of the individual
whom 1t concerned.
The master of the house desired to
speak with the young man Edwards
at once, in the dining-room. What did
it mean? Was 1t merely some matter
of small Importance In connection
with his household duties to which he
wished to draw his attention person
ally, or?
Mr.. Ferrers was sitting in his place
at the head Of the table. There was
something judicial looking in his at
titude and expression, and, standing at
a short distance from him, was the
housemaid. Perkins.
Come in and shut the door," was
the first sentence addressed to him.
He obeyed noiselessly and care
fully, more than ever mindful of his
assumed position and grateful for
each seconds delay, which allowed
him the opportunity Of searching his
brain for some way out Of the diem
ma.
Edwards, lit was the voice Of his
master and enemy addressing him

ment she stood motionless. holding the
magazine In one hand, while she look
ed at the individual before her with
puzzled. searching expression upon
her countenance. Then a sudden light
seemed to break in upon her-she
gave a gasp--her expression changed
from curiosity to amazement, and, Mt
tering little cry, she turned sharply
round and ran rapidly up the stair
case. leaving the other a prey to the
liveliest astonishment. What other
remarkable incidents was the day &c
bring forth?
Meanwhile the young lady had re-
gained the stronghold OF her own
apartment, locked the door, and,
throwing the now despised magazine
into a corner, sat down to conilde the
state Of her feelings to the keeping Of
her faithful diary:
"A most extraordinary thing has
happened" she wrote. my head is
in a whirl and l hardly know what !
am writing, or what to do, or think.
To imagine that have so often puz-
zled myself over that young mans
