have DONE" explained the woman,
Mrs. Willing, to Reggie. "And we've
taken good care of the one or two
things he brought with him. My hus-

ed Reggie, taking the document from
the woman and putting it into his
pocket.
Only few moments did he stay in
the sick room. There was nothing he
could do to lessen the dying child's
sufferings, and his thoughts were with
the living, not with the dying and
dead. But, intuitively, his eyes stud
led the white, vacant little face lying
so still on the pillow. No resemblance
was there to Guy. But the fair hair
and finely chiseled features reminded
him Of the late Sir George Ellingham,
II should like the little invalid to
have every comfort and attention.
Expense Is not to be considered" he
said, speaking to Mrs. Willing as he
was leaving.
Now he was on his way to the sta
ton, weary with the days excitement
and varying hopes and fears.
"I'll just glance at it now" he
thought, drawing out the document.
Good heavens! What have here?
Absolutely the marriage certificate of
George Henry William Ellingham and
Margaret Searle. Then the child

new baronet-Sir Henry Ellingham!
The irony Of it all! Had it not been
for Guy taking upon himself the child's
maintenance, and asking me to do
ditto, the poor little fellow would have.
been now dying in the workhouse.
However, this document provides us
with something to work on. Now
But Hilda? No doubt now that the
poor girl was never Ellingham's legal
wife! BY Joye, how pity her! Most
acutely will she feel that absence OF
legality. How strangely complicated
and confused everything is becoming!

to- myself that there couldn't be a

And what was that?"
That for some reason best known

take on his own, shoulders a crime
that he'd no more committed than L

what I want you to do is to hand

forward as he said it and looked the

Reggie.
