The evening passed as It had passed
hundred times before. Captain Frere,s
nome was cottage on the New Town
road, which he had occupied since his
appointment as assistant police magis-
trate, an appointment given to him a
reward for his exertions In connection
with the Osprey mutiny. His convict
servant had sat up for him, and. as he
entered the man handed him a letter
bearing a superscription In a female
hand.

dows. and the destinations afrectation
OF red curtains and homely comfort gave
to It a spurious appearance of English
jollity.
Pushing open the side door, Frere en-
tered ana made his way along a narrow
passage to a glass door at the further
end. A tap upon this door brought a girl,
who eourtesied with servile recognition
u the visitor, and ushered him upstairs.
The room into which he was shown was
large one. 1t had three windows look
ng into the street. and was Handsomely
'urnidhed. The carpet was soft. the
candles were bright, and the supper tray
cleaned inyitingly from table between
