ways well, had had great respect for
him; on the quiet, the superintendent
was fond of bit of racing himself
who, after all, did not belong to the
district, had shred of truth in it
but then he was not willing to admit
to Detmold, at any rate-that he
entertained the possibility for mo-
ment.
Its a house of mourning" he went
on, more sharply, land we can't go
disturbing people on mere superstition,
without vestige of proof. Haven't
you been long enough in the force to
know that? And don't go talking
about this absurd theory you've got
into your head, to cause annoyance to
the dead mans relatives he added.
And never so strongly in his life
had Detmold been tempted to be rude
to superior as then, when he saw
his chance of capturing Lathom slip
second time through his fingers.
AS matter of fact, Lathom left the
Grange that same day as soon as
nightfall came. His part at the
Grange had been played. But for his
promise to the dead man he would
not have attempted to evade the police
on the night Miss Strangways had
driven him to the rectory. After
Stephens story he felt convinced that
there was no case against him.
ct am to give myself up" Lathom
said to Margaret Strangways, as he
said goodbye to this girl with the sad
eyes. only not in Lendal, or suspi-
cion might be aroused that I have been
hiding here, and that must be avoided
at any COST
He stood holding her hand for a
moment as they parted, looking into
the sad face. He had very genuine
feeling of friendship and gratitude to-
wards this girl who had helped him
so disinterestedly, and he felt deep
sympathy for her in her hour of sor-
row.
And the plot that had failed-no
doubt, Jack Lathom told himself, he
ought to have been ashamed of his
share in it, the part the dead man
had prevailed on him to play, in or
der that Pride O. Life might run
that, if the horse won, this girl might
not be left pauper. Only, straight"
as Jack Lathom had always been, in
this case he was not ashamed it
seemed to him mere bubble that
would have prevented the horse from
running-only he had liked Margaret
Strangways the more for the scruples
that had made her refuse, before the
news came that Pride O. Life was dis
qualified, to profit by this "pious
fraud"
And her outlook was not so hope
less as her father had feared; Lathom
was glad, in leaving her, to know
this. Lady Risdene had Unexpectedly
smoothed the path for her nephew
and Margaret; their marriage had be-
come possible as soon as the lovers
wished.
Goodbye and good luck" she said
-"and thank you for what you wanted
to do for me-"

CHAPTER XII.
The Tightening Meshes


There was another disappointment
for Detmold.
His stolen visit to Mr.. Strangways
house and the discovery he had made
there had led the detective to an in
slant deduction-that fraud had been
planned within the walls of the
Grange, a deep-laid plot that had
failed through the subsequent disquali-
flying of the horse that had been first
past the post in the great race; and
further, that it was Lathom who had
impersonated the Squire after the
news of the result of that race. 1t
was CALLING to be laughed at for his
pains by the superintendent of the
Lendal police-station, who was not to
be convinced-or as Detmold thought
was more likely, did not want to be
convinced, SO far as the late Squire
Strangways was concerned.
you've got hold of a mares nest,
Detmold,' said the superintendent,
with an irritating condescension, land
this news we've just heard confirms
it. The Squire died Of heart seizure,
owing to the excitement. after the race
had been run, and there's no more to
be said"
Detmold, inwardly Tuning though
he was, remained silent with an effort.
He knew beyond question that the
Squire had been dead long before the
race, only he read the hint in the
superintendent words. And SO far
as that contemplated deception was
concerned, the motive of which was
| obvious to him on the face of it, it
was nothing to Detmold. What he
did care about was to lay his hands
on Jack Lathom, who, he was sure,
| was hiding at the Grange.
eff Lathom is at the Grange we'll
have him, only, unfortunately, it would
seem you have nothing in the nature
of proof that he has even been near
the place. went on the chief official,

The superintendent smiled.
"But, on your own admission, you
thought it was the Squire at the time, .
he said, struggling his shoulders.
"And of course it was the Squire
must have been"

Eczema on Hand, Arms, Legs and
FACET Was Something Terrible.
Complete Cure by cuticura.

about fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. 1t burned and itched so much
that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. I went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease, but no further. finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Rene
dies and found relief in the first trial.

he cried in a thin, quavering voice.
The manager, who knew nothing of
the rights and wrongs of the case, and
cared less, was feeling too much badg-
cred and worried by what had taken
place, that might cause disastrous
disorganization on this important
first night" to have any particular
sympathy for the grossly libeled Mr..
Hume. He wished to Heaven Hume
had never come near the theatre, and
said so without much ceremony. He
could have torn his hair. He rushed
off in the midst of Mr.. Hume's ex-
cited protests.
Presently Anthony StranGways came
into thereon.

whisky; he had drunk half tumbler-
full of the spirit neat, and he had him.
self more in hand now. But as Strang-
ways entered Bonholt seemed to peer
nervously past him, as if afraid he
might not be alone. He seemed reas-
sured when Strangways closed the
door,
HAS this woman, this protegee of
yours, suddenly gone mad?' he broke
out, watching the other mans face
furtively. Gould anything be more
monstrous than this preposterous
charge? She must have lost her rea-
son!"
Strangways shrugged his shoulders.
"Was it your revolver that was
found in the river, which the bullet
taken from Philips body fitted?" he
said abruptly, disregarding the words.
81 heard rumor before Miss Van
stone spoke of it tonight"
''And if it were-the revolver had
passed out of my possession long be-
fore poor Philip met his end! Good
heavens, Strangways, you don't mean,
you can't mean"
Il mean nothing; I know nothing"
said Strangways, dryly. AS he spoke,
the thought was in his mind of that
first visit he had paid to this man
after Philips death; he remembered
how Philips portrait had been re-
moved from it's place on the wall; he
remembered one or two odd things
connected with that visit. tits all
very unfortunate-and I'm sorry you
came behind I won't ask you to stay
now. The managers tearing his hair;
and must get back to the stage. You
must excuse me. You can find your
way out? Good night"
Bonholt Hume made half-move-
ment forward, as if about to hold out
his hand.
Anthony either did not see the ges-
ture or deliberately ignored it. He
turned with 2 curt nod and went out
The shaking, white-faced man, left
behind in the room, caught his breath
sharply.
Then he suspects, too!' Bonholt
whispered to himself voicelessly. He
suspects, TOOL"
AS Anthony Strangways strobe back
to the stage, this not too scrupulous
man was saying to himself, as though
his conscience pricked him:
"In Heavens name, why did | ever
consent to keep the truth from this
girl about the validity of her marriage
with Philip? Goodness knows I've
suffered computations enough since,
And if I'd as much as suspected then
well, at any rate, she shall
know now that she really was Philip
Hume's wife!"
In front of the curtain the agitated
manager was making an announce
ment to the audience, that in view
of Miss Vanstone's sudden illness her
part in the remaining act would have
to be taken by her understudy.
