CHAPTER xvIII-continued.

"Wait a bit" was the impetuous
answer, there is more to come STILL
He told him about the visit to the
detective, and the detectives opinion
of the matter. Then, with little hest
tation in his manner, he related his
strange experience on the night of his
return; the voice which he heard tell
ing him where to look, and the discov-
cry of the photograph in the very
place indicated. Having reached this
point in his narrative he paused to
Judge of the effect it had produced
upon his hearer.
DR.. Cartwright said nothing, and
Ted went on to tell how the imperfect
copy Of the letter, which he had made
himself from the remains of the
original, had been completed and filed
up in another hand.
The doctor withdrew himself into
ambush, as it were, behind his spec
tacles. Then he opened his mouth

ton; don't let US have any more

Dr. Cartwright shook his head. But
what else could it be? My profession
al opinion"-in quite another tone of
voice-"is, that the sooner you hand
this room over to the housemaid the
better. Meanwhile, suppose you show
me the original document that was
burnt?"
The young man produced it from
the same secret hiding place as before,
and laid it out before him without
word There was silence for some
moments, which was only broken by
the sound of the doctors voice, as he
repeated the words to himself, as he
succeeded in deciphering them. At
the end of five minutes he gave it up.

many days. MI kept his
room for the most pa Id was care
full to lock the door wiz he left for
even the shortest time. With great
difficulty. Ted-or Edwards, as we
must now call him-got an impretion
of the lock and had key made. but
could yet find no opportunity to use it.
But one tremendous discovery Ed
wards" the man-servant, made, and
one which he had not anticipated.
When his eyes fell on Agnes Ferrers,
the pretty daughter of the man he
was tracking down, his heart was no
longer in his keeping. He had first
seen pretty Agnes Ferrers in the
Royal Academy, and the smile she had
then given him for returning drop
ped program had set his pulses throb-
bling and stamped her image on his
soul. Now. by a strange caprice of
fate, he was brought into touch with
her again, but they were not on equal
footing now. She was mistress. he
was a servant-nay, more. a spy"
Besides, had he not sworn to avenge
his fathers murder. The situation
was torture.
''It cannot be-" he groaned. 81 may
mott must not love her. l have my
mission"
But, try as he would, he could not
altogether hide his affection. His
eyes followed Agnes about, and If she
did not notice it, there was one other
who did. This was Perkins, the house
keeper, who had ever been suspicious
of 'the young man" Not for mo-
ment did she allow him to escape her
pert scrutiny, and he was often handi-
capped in his task by her prying eyes.
He dared not make any prolonged
search, for Perkins would have had
him denounced as a thief, and he
should probably have been dismissed.
Then came a break in his attempt to
unravel the mystery. His mother was
taken seriously i'll, and he fastened
home, only in time to hear her dying
message. When the funeral had con-
cluded he returned to his task, leav-
ing his sister in Dr. Cartwright's care.

dropped into the nearest chair, and the
same words fell from his lips which
he had uttered before under somewhat
similar circumstances-"Am 1 going
mad?"
Not at all" was the cheerful re-
Spouse. Don't you see?" he went on,
clapping him on the back. You
dreamt it; that was ALL"
The other raised a haggard face
toward him. But how about the writ
ing which I saw, and of which. even
though it has now mysteriously disap-
peared, can recall every word"
1T certainly is very strange" said
DIR. Cartwright. But, at the same
time, there is an explanation pos
sible"
"And that is?"
THAT in your sleep this arrange
ment suggested itself to your mind 20
forcibly, that you were able to retain
the impression on waking. and, what
you thought you read with your out
ward eyes was, in actual fact, only
visible to those of your imagination.
The young man gave an impatient
sigh. Have it your own way. OF
course can't expect you to accept my
statement as the truth"
my dear fellowl" said the doctor
Let us both agree to maintain our own
without seeking to disturb the others
opinion. But, for all that, | should
like, if you have no objection, to sub
NIT the origin of this discussion to
two tests, and, if you have micro
scope anywhere about the premises
and can also procure lamp, as there
is no fire in the CRATE, we can pro-
coed with the investigation at once"
Both articles were forthcoming
with very little delay.
The doctor examined the blank
spaces on the paper carefully through
the microscope, then shook his head.
There is no sign of any writing but
your own. l suppose you will stick

to your original opinion in spite Of
this?'
81 do" was the answer, given most
emphatically.
Il thought you would" answered his
friend. 81 suppose that now you have
told me all there is to be told?" He
rose from his chair.
Keep your seat" said the young
man; 81 have not done with you yet.
First, give me your pledge of secrecy"
The doctor. somewhat puzzled, gave
his promise.
Now" said Ted, where is the
morning paper?"
81 left it in the other room. Do
you want it,"
Eyes, I'll get it," he replied, and
quilted the room.
Read that advertisement, doctor"
he said, when he returned, and he
handed the paper to the physician.
DR.. Cartwright read blindly through
small announcement among the
Situations Vacant" and then looked
wonderingly up at the young man.
I'm going to apply" said Ted.
What" gasped the doctor. You
mean to say that you're going to trick
yourself out as a servant on the off
chance of locating your fathers MUIR
derer. Why, you're mad. sir, mad.
Here, let me read the thing again
'Man-servant wanted at once. Apply

''Ferrers," broke in Ted, impulsive-
ly. THAT name Of all names. There
can be no mistake. l tell you I'm
going to apply for that situation, and

Every WELL" said Dr. Cartwright,
after a pause Go ahead with your
plan, and I'll help you all l can. I'll
explain that business has made it nee
essary for you to leave home for a
time"
With Ted, to think was to act. and
he wasted no time in shaving OF his
mustache and repairing to Belmont
House. He created such a favorable
impression that he was at once in
stalled in his new position under the
assumed name of Edwards. He was
not able to discover anything for

doctors face. He saw its expression
change from interest to bewilderment,

the scepticism which had possessed
his friend at the outset. You notice

of paper out toward him.
He saw the broken, incoherent SEN

He saw and recognized his own hand
writing. The other had disappeared.
