clear in judgment on most things"
Get that nonsense out of your head,
doctor. 1 tell you that 1 am no more
prejudiced against him than 1 am In
favor of you. He is a selfish, hcartless
scoundrel."
You will never make me believe that
of Lynn Yeames"
HE shall make you believe II OF him
self. Abstain from letting him know how
flexmore's money is TO be disposed OF,
and watch him between now and the read
ing of the will. He already talks OF send
ing the child away to a boarding school,
and, as l tell you, reproved Miss Dali
rymple before me for being too sympa-
thetic and kind to her"
But why should he believe himself to
be his uncle's HERR"
Because he fell into a trap, and was
led to believe so by me. And I'll tell you
something else, doctor. He believed that
this new will was to revoke an existing
will in his favor; and 1 am convinced
that he stretched the cord that threw the
gig over and delayed me, that this will

him for that If my nose had been broken"
II think l can upset that theory, at

when you were thrown from the gigT'

unprejudiced, and watch that young man
during the next four OF five days." said
1, as opened the door to let him out
Unfortunately, this chance of clearing
his mind was denied to us. The next
morning, when l called at Flexmore
House, / heard that he had not been seen
sine he left, shortly after my departure,
to fetch DIR. Audrey; and in the course
of thu day ! learned that he had gone to
LOndn. This did not surprise me. Hes
gone u see a London solicitor about this
affair" l thought; land may be bled
pretty freely by my learned friends J"
Betimts on Thursday ! called agcin
at the house, for had made up my mind
to visit the inmates there every day,
knowing how long and dreary the days
must be for them in the darkened house,
and that the child. at least, looked upon
me as a protecting friend. Miss Dalrym-
pie was bending over her work with a
worn and anxious look upon her sweet
face. Little Laurie started up with
terrified expression In her eyes, as though
she expected TO SIC Lynn Yeames with
