ly decided against this course. Mr..
Abingdon was out Of town. and Philip
might need some one he could trust to
obey his instructions in London.
AT ten minutes past 5 Arson and DR..
Scarth arrived in York
A long discourse in the train gave
them q plan. They would not appeal
at once to the police. Better clear the
mist that hid events before the aid of
the law was invoked. There We're two
of them, and the assistance Of the no
tel people could be obtained if neces-
sary.
They hurried first to the station mas
ters office. Anything for Arson? Yes.
Only a few words of entreaty from
Evelyn to avoid further risk.
Then to the hotel. They sought the
manager.

The question was unusual in it's form
disturbing in its innuendo. The man
who asked it was pale, with unnatural
ly brilliant brown eyes, gentleman In
manner, but attired III i'll fitting gar
ments, and beneath his tweed cap lie

And Philip Arson, the millionaire, Of
whom he spoke thus contemporary.
was staying in the hotel and paying
for its best rooms.
But the manager was perfectly civil.
The presence of DR.. Scarth, reputa-
Bile looking stranger, gave evidence
that something important was afoot.
Mr. Arson was in his rooms at the
moment Their names would be sent
up.
DR.. Scarth, quick to appreciate the
difficulties of the situation, interviewed
quietly

''Then it will he better If you accom-.

This was alarming. The manager
went with them instantly. They paus

"Cone with me" said Philip, turning
the handle without knocking.
Grenier, intent on the perusal Of 4
letter he had just written, looked up
quickly.
He was face to face with Philip An
son.

Evelyn and he alone knew that at
that spot on the day and hour named
they became engaged.
The policeman valiantly lent the few
shillings necessary, and the sturdy
horse from the Fox and Hounds tore
back to Scarsdale.
But the constable was Of additional
value. His researches in Scarsdale
provided a fairly accurate history and
description of the two denizens of the
Grange House
Philip himself had, Of course, seen
''Dr. Williams" in broad daylight and
undisguised-not yet could he remem-
Der where he heard that smooth
tongued voice. Jocky Mason he only
pictured haZily after the lapse of years,
but the policeman's details of his per-
sonal appearance conceded exactly
with Philips recollection, allowing for
age and the hardships Of convict life.
At last came the doctor with a va
lise.

The few inhabitants OF the hamlet
gathered to see them Off. and the fish
erman's wife was moved to screw her
apron into her eyes when Philip shook
hands with her, saying that she would
see him again in few days.
"Eh, but he's 4 bonny lad" was her
verdict. "'Twas a fair sham tie treat
him soa."
At Scarsdale and at Nation again
came loving words from Evelyn. Now
she knew who it was who telegraphed
to her.

York remained dumb.
