Laverstone had come to him in the per son of old Sam Vane himself. The distracted father, when he learnt that his daughter had never reached her aunts house, and when all inquiries had failed to produce any information beyond the fact that the girl had ar- rived safely at Paddington, had come straight to his daughters lover, and had taxed him with knowledge of her hiding place.
 John Shil we'll remembered the pain ful scene that had followed. The old mans feeble fury, the white face and trembling hands. the, hot words of ac- eusation the indignant denial, his own hNyror at the news, his offers of help. HOW clearly it all stood out on the pages of his life!
 And then, scarcelx fortnight after wards, had come the cable from Amer ica, telling him that his cousin, Will liam Shil, of ,Pittsburg, was dead, and had left him a large fortune. He re- membered how bitterly he had laugh ed when he fist heard the news. The money fad meant little or nothing to him. He was earning good income and was able to gratify most of his simple wants. But in a few days his views on the matter had undergone a marked change. He had realized, on reflection, that this money would place in his hands a great power, to be used either for good or evil 1t would. above all, enable him to prosecute his search for Laura Vane by every means in the power of mortal, man.
 During the last six months ne had spent money like water. All the great detective agencies of Europe had been placed on the track of the missing girl.

 When John Shil returned to his mag nifcent suite of rooms in the Hotel Bristol he poured himself out strong brandy and soda. and drained 1t to the last drop Then, with unsteady hands he lit a cigar. and puffed at it furiously, till half the room was hidden in a blue cloud of smoke.
 Before two minutes had elapsed, he had bitten off the end of the cigar and had thrown the piece into the fireplace. He felt in his pocket for a pipe, filled and lit it. and gripped the hard yul- canite in his teeth. Then, fitnging him self into an easy chair. he stared at the ceiling, and tried to control the wild thoughts that coursed through ms brain.
 In time everything resolved itself into one solid fact. Laura Vane, III spite of all her protestations of love- had not remained true to him. and was now the wife of another man Ills mind reverted to the day she had told him she could never be his wife, to the long slopes of the Stonewold Hills. sparkling in the sunlight, to the heart breaking sound of her voice as she told him that she could never be his wire. He saw, as in dream, the little Vll- lage of LaVerstone, grey and ciear-CuI beneath him. the thin lines Of smoke rising in the frosty air. He even thought he could hear the distant bark of a dog, and the rattle of his horses hoofs, as the animal pawed. the iron ground with impatience. It all came back to him with horrible reality. At that time-in the bitter hour of part ing-he had not realized what 1t all meant He could not understand why Laura had refused to marry hlm, al- though she loved him. Now he knew the truth She was married to anoth- CT mana man she did not love
