This was the first time that Archie
had ever dared to cross Mrs. Villiers
wishes, and she stared in amazement at
the unwonted spectacle This time, how
eve Mcintosh found an unexpect I'd ally
in Vandeloup, who urged that Villiers
should be prosecuted.
He is not only guilty of robbery, Mad
ame," said the young Frenchman, but
also of an attempt to murder you, and
while he is allowed to go free your life
is not safe"
Selma also contributed her mite of
wisdom in the form of a proverb:
"A stitch in time saves nine,, intimat-
ing thereby that Mr.. Villiers should be
locked up and never let out again, in case
he tried the same game on with the next
big nugget found.
Meanwhile there was another individual
in Ballarat who was much interested in
Villiers. and this kind-hearted gentleman
was none other than Slivers. Villiers
was accustomed to come and sit in his
Office every morning and talk TO him about
things in general, and the Pactolus claim
in particular. On this morning, how
ever, he did not arrive, and Slivers was
much ANNOYED thereat. He determined
to give villiers a piece of his mind when
he did see him. He went about his BUSH
ness at 1.-THE Corner" bought some shares,
sold others, and swindled as many people
as he was able, then came back to his
Office and waited in all the afternoon for
his friend, who, however did not come.

trump" says an Englishwoman who
ought to know. Though her utter
ancs Is rather sweeping, it is certain
many women IL left to themselves
seem to delight In downright dowdi-
ness. If the stories of her enemies are
to be credited, the Duchess of Nor
folk illustrates what has been writ
ten about the Englishwoman's ability
to abuse the art of dressing. Just
now she is talking against extrava-
gance in dress and it is rumored a
boycott is to be declared in Norfolk
House against smart" folk. "That
suggestion is likely to cause a good
deal Of unholy mirth," says social
leader. Norfolk House never has
been the resort of really fashionable
persons and a duchess hardly can shut
the door on those who never are found
upon her steps If the Duchess Of
Norfolk ever entertained the notion at
tributed to her of inquiring into the
antecedents of her guests she might
well be deferred by the fate of her
grandmother, Marcia, Lady Herries,
She, too, started a crusade against
what she called extravaganza in dress
among Roman Catholic women, but,
though the Pope wrote her letter of
approval. the dowdy went on in their
dowdiness and the finely dressed
women were as gay butterflies as ever.

CHAPTER XIV

Madame Midas, as may be easily guess
ed, did not pass a very pleasant night
after the encounter with Villiers. Her
head was very painful with the blow she
had given her, and added to this she was
certain she had killed him.
Though she hated the man who had
ruined her life, and who had tried to
rob her, still she did not care about be-
coming his murderess, and the thought
vas madness to her. Not that she was
afraid of punishment, for she had acted
only in self-defense, and Villiers, not she.
was the aggresor.
Meanwhile she waited to hear if the
body had been found for i'll news travels
fact and as everyone knew Villiers was
her husband. she was satisfied that when
the corpse was found she would be the
first TO be told about it. But the day
wore on, and no news came, so she asked
Archie to go into Ballarat and see If the
discovery had been made.
Deed, men, said Archie, in con-
selling tone, I'm thinkin' there's no word
