time since your marriage. and to go
to his club-his club, forsooth!"
''Oh, what shall | do, what shall |
| do?"
DO? Why, get your hat and jacket,
\ put on a thick veil, and we will so to
Euston Station and watch him meet
this woman, and if that won't con-
vince you, nothing will. 1t is now a
quarter past s. Hurry up and we shall
just be in time"
Impelled by the indomitable will of
Susan Nibler, and filled with the de-
sire to know the truth at all costs,
Kitty Lovegrove dressed as quickly as
possible, and In an incredibly short
space of time they were speeding
towards Euston. They dismissed the
cab outside the station and fitted
down the approach with the caution
and dexterity of two savages stalking
an enemy.
And standing under the clock,
swinging his stick with impatience,
they discovered Charley Lovegrove,
with the three red roses stuck prom
inently in his buttonhole, emblemati.
cal Of danger signal.
AS Kitty and Susan Nibler crouched
in the shadows they saw q tall, golden
haired girl, with pretty, laughing
face, come towards Charley with out
stretched hand. They stood joking and
laughing for a moment, and then
Charley detached the roses from his
coat and the girl fastened them in her
dress. After little while they en-
tered a hanson and drove away to-
gether.
By the time Miss Nibler got her
niece home again, Kitty was in half
fainting condition, and as the SER
wants were all out for the evening she
took the poor girl into the kitchen
and soused her literally with water.
Nov, my dear, this is no time for
fainting; you must bear up. and we'll
show Charles Lovegrove that he can
not commit bigamy with impunity."
"Oh, but, auntie, there must be
some mistake!"
There is no mistake. l believe that
man is capable Of anything, and 1t
would not surprise me to find that he
had dozen wives"
"Oh, auntie, how can you?"
81 can, that's why, and you see II
my words don't come true. Hark!
What is that? There is someone
knocking at the side gate"
ut will be one of the servants re-
turning"
Don't you move, my dear. | will
open the door myself"
Miss Nibler opened the side door
and a young woman walked into the
kitchen. She stood for moment star
ing in surprise.
"Oh, beg your pardon; II come tc
see Charley-I mean my husband"
What? Charley your husband?"
yes. We were marrier secretly
about twelve months ago, but as ht
lost all his money, we had to part fol
a time. am sorry l have disturbed
you if he is not in"
There, my poor niece, see how my
words are coming true. A trigamistl
A trigamist, that's what he is-a. trig

"Oh, don't! It's terrible-terrible!
'Oh, it is nothing to what We shall
find out. The man is an utter scoun
drel."
81 beg your pardon" said the new
conner, but you are talking about m,
Charley?"
Yes, your Charley; and how many
other peoples Charley We don't know
yet. You look respectable youns
woman, but am sorry to tell you tha
the man you married is a knave. Yo,
say you became his wife twelv,
months ago, and yet only three week
ago he married my niece, and we saw
him meet his third wife tonight at tn,
station and drive off with her."
Are you mad?"
mo, a mnot; am very sane In
deed But you two people seem Il
be mentally deficient to allow such
man to deceive you"
''You mean to tell me that N.
Charley has married this lady?"
Il do"
Then when l get hold of him
will be the worst days work he eve
did in his life. This, then, is the rea
son why he wished me to keep ou
marriage secret, pretending that he'
lost all his money. and me having t
go out to service again, while he live,
in clover Oh, where is he? Let IN
get at him!"
That's right; that's the spirit lik
