CHAPTER XVII.
At the Theater,

| AZ tU0 tUGatOVs
! The news seemed utterly to discon-
cert Bonholt Hume in q manner that
was surprising seeing that he had
openly professed his belief that La
Thorn was guilty, and as the nearest
relative of the dead man might have
been naturally supposed to desire that
| Philips murderer should be brought
| to justice.
"Of course, It may be q hoax,
| though I don't think 1t is" said the
detective. looking hard at Bonholt;
"and I shall naturally 60 carefully
Only, II the information's authentic,
Lathom won't slip through my fingers
again. I've got bit Of personal in
terest in this matter-you see, hap
pened to be in charge Of him that day
In the cab when he got away, 80
should like to put my hands on him
again"
They parted, and the detective
walked on, leaving Bonholt Hume
startled. He went into the hotel and
asked one Of the walters what time
the performance at Chatterton's thea
ter began.
Seven O'Clock, cir"
It was then about ten minutes to
seven. Bonholt turned and went out
of the hotel again. He felt restless
desire to satisfy himself whether the
detectives suspicious were correct. If
only the man had told him under what
name Lathom was supposed to be play
ing! But he had no clue. There were
faring yellow bills outside the great
wooden erection, but the names on
the bills gave him no information.
He went up to the entrance and paid
for one of the reserved seats-two or
three rows of chairs separated from
the seats behind, which were merely
long planks, rising in tiers to the
back, which were already crowded.
Inside the "theater" two huge bra
ziers of burning coke threw q red
glow on the faces behind, and made
the atmosphere in this temple of
dramatic art stifingly hot except
where draughts from entrances stab
bed cuttingly across It. The reserved
seats were more sparsely occupied,
advertised time for the curtain to rise
on the tiny stage; but as Bonholt
Hume entered he caught glimpse of
two figures sitting at the farther end
of the second row. whom he was sur
prised to recognize as Miss Strang-
ways and the doctor with whom he
had his passage of arms an Eour ago.
Margaret Strangways, in her appre-
tensions caused by the letter she had
received, had taken The doctor into
her confidence and asked him to go
with her to the theater; thus she
would be able to find out the name of
the man whom the letter concerned,
and warn him.
The doctor, apart from the fact that
he immensely admired Miss Strang-
ways and had been ready enough to
accompany her, was glad for the girl
to be seen here; her patronage of this
place of entertainment would be no.
ticed-would help to confirm the i'm
preston he was assiduously fostering,
that Mr.. Strangways' health was a
matter for no alarm.
Scarcely had Bonholt taken his seat
when some one who had followed him
In dropped into the vacant seat be-
| side him.
"Ah. SO you've come to see the show.
| Mr. Bonholt?"
The man addressed turned to see
the detective.
