my history and why 1 was coming back to England.
 We made little plot of getting rough, sailors clothes when we came ashore, throwing ourselves in the neighborhood of Bella Wilfer and discovering what sort of girl she was before I presented myself to Lightwood to claim my inher- tance- if I concluded to do so. When we came ashore Radfoot took me to this part of London, and we stopped for a moment at Riderhood's. He and the Rogue seemed to be old acquaintances and I remember that, after coming out of the house Radford had a little folded paper in his hand which he shifted from one pocket to another. Then we went to some lodging house overlooking the river for the night, and in our room ordered coffee.
 "Radfoot. remember, carried under his arm a canvas bag containing suit of his clothes I was to buy my sailors out fit on the morrow, so brought no clothes with me other than those l wore. It , was rainy and I was wet. When we reached our room Radfoot insisted upon my putting on the dry clothes which he had In the bag. Then the coffee was brought; l drank it and immediately all became strange. The room whirled around and flashes of fire seemed to come be-
 
 floor and was turned over by foot. There were other feet tramping about. and I saw a figure like myself, dressed in my clothes and with my valse in his hand.
 %rhen came angry words and blows a struggle and I saw the figure that looked like me struck down. After that I remember nothing more until l was sliding down something like tube and ao,,,o ;,,ta tba cold water of the riVpr. They seemed to partially revive me, and. the instinct of life returning, I began to struggle and finally crawled out. more dead than alive, onto the stones of a causeway.

It was awful to see Radfoot lying there In the morgue. look ing so like me and with my clothes on! Why had Radfoot tried to murder me? Eyjdently with the idea of appearing as John Harmon. Why had he been mur- dered? That I shall never know. But I know enough of Riderhood to suspect that he knows more about it than l do.
 50 John Harmon disappeared, Julus Hiandford disappeared and John Roke- umith was born. John Rokesmth tonight tried to repair wrong which he Is bound by every consideration to remedy. John Rokesmith will presevere in his duty"
 When Lizzie HeXam received the writ ten exoneration of her father. she felt unspeakabe relief but satisfaction was tempered by her own situation. Bradley Headstone, aided and abetted by her brother, had demanded fiercely that she have nothing to do with Wrayburn. He had declared passonately that she should and must be his, and Eugene. in his languil way, had spoken words to her which filled her with distress because of their clear meaning that he loved her. Bradley she feared and hated. Eugene she loved; but there was such an i'm passable social gulf between them that she thought it could never be crossed with justice to either of them.
 So Lizzie disappeared-went away off into the country and got work in a paper mill: and only the little dolls dressmaker knew where she was-she and benevo- lent old Jew. patriarch named Riah, who had befriended her and who had procured her the place.
 Through the death of one of Mrs. Bof- fin s proteges. which happened at the vil- laee where Lizzie worked, Mrs Boffin came to know, MT. Boffin came to know, and Belle not only came to know, but
