A certain good natured doctor, whose

holding huge paper package, from
which buds and leaves were protruding

"She has retired" returned the doctor.
Miss Caroline Ward was his cook.

the flowers into the kitchen and placed

CHAPTER ".

The two young men walked home to
Langrishe's lodgings together.
They talked far into the night, but
they arrived at no solution of the mys-
terry of the photograph. They came to
an agreement concerning their future
line of action. Langrishe, they decided,
should undertake the official part of the
quest for Miss Lavenham He alone
should appear publicly as one who was
interested in finding her. He should in.
terview detectives and be responsible for
advertisements. He had suddenly be-
come as eager to show himself Miss
Lavenham's champion as he had hitherto
been to conceal the fact of his acquaint-
ance with her.
This fact struck Montresor, and with
his usual frankness he made aliusion
to it.
"I don't understand" he said, as he
lit his fifth pipe, why you have been so
inactive all these months"
at have, in point of fact, not been IN
active" Langrishe replied. After mo-
ment's pause he added, "But what
have done have preferred to do very
quietly" He paused again, and then
went on still more deliberately, II had
reason to believe that Miss LAvenham,
were she still living, would not wish
did not care to proclaim myself as one
so much interested in her. If she were
dead"-he seemed to control a shudder
what matter?"
"And now you don't mind proclaiming
your interest in herr" Montresor asked
with simple ghtforwardness
But Landrishe was not disconnected.
''Since the incident of last night and
that of the night BEFORE" he replied,
still with the same slow elaboration, Il
have made up my mind to cast aside all
scruples."
81 understand" answered Montresor
with a nod. But, as Langrishe very well
knew. he did not understand. He was
instinctively aware that the American
did not like him, and that he would be
an active rival should De1zilia Layen.
ham ever again appear in the flesh be-
fore them, but, though he disliked him
accordingly, he did not in the least
realize that it was nothing but Lang
rishe's pure and, in the circumstances,
unreasonable jealousy Of himself that
had made him come forward as a for
mer acquaintance of Denzilia's.
When Montresor left the Americans
rooms that night he went home to study
photography instead of going to bed, and
the next day he betook himself once
more to Mrs. Matthieson's house in or.
der to explain to Agnes how the trick
on her photograph OF Langrishe had been
effected.
Mrs. Matthieson was out, the servant
said in answer to his first inquiry. Miss
Matthieson was in, but the man did not
know If she would see any one. She
was engaged; she had lady with her,
a miniature painter, who was giving her
lessons.
The footman's ear caught the sound
OF an upstairs bell.
THAT is Miss NatthiesOn's sitting
room bell; it is for tea. Her lesson
must be over. Shall l tell her you are
here. sir"
Certainly" replied Montresor.

TO the lamp. Most of them were only

1T won't hurt them" said Montresor,

Agnes seemed little doubtful still.
and, taking up her fiimsy lace-trimned
pocket-handkerchief. she began TO wipe
the sheets one by one.

versation on other subjects in which she

| She lifted face that for a moment
wore look of dismay almost of fear.
"Ah,' she said, looking from one to
the other OF the young men, 'tyou have
been playing a trick on mel It was a
very silly trickl" she added.
i have been playing no trick on youi"
exclaimed Montresor in tone of such
sincerity that 1t carried conviction with
1t. What is the matter?"
But Agnes did not answer him. In.
stead she turned to Langrishe, and fixed
her eyes with something like reproach on
| him.
Then it was you!" she said to him.
L solemnly assure you, Miss Matthie-
son." he answered, IL have been playing
no tricks on you. I cannot conceive
what you are talking about"
Look here!" returned Agnes in a tone
that was almost awe-struck She hand
ed him the photograph she had been dry
ing.
He took it from her hand, and he too
started, and for second looked strong
ly discomposed.
Some one has been hoaxing you," he
said; "but it is not I, can assure you"
He dropped the photo on the table
with a, gesture inviting Mrs. Matthieson
and Montressor to look at it.
II don't understand it," said Mrs.
Matthieson when she had done SO. She
spoke with a. puzzled but by no means
an alarmed air.
Montresor was the last to examine the
photo which had caused Agnes so much
discontinue. He also made an excla-
nation of establishment. 1t was pho
tograph of Langrishe himself which
Agnes had lately taken. But the circum-
stance that caused so much surprise to
them all was that across it in large let
ters, also apparently photographed, were
the words
'Denzilia Lavenham lives, and her
heart and hand and fortune are for him
who finds her"
Montresor read the words aloud.
ut is q photographers tricl1i" he said
contemptuously, and looked with frank
significance at Agnes
II had no hand in It'll she said in re-
ply to the look II do not understand

"You took this photograph" he asked.
Certainly"
at has since been specially prepared
to receive this sentence. 1t only comes
out when the paper is wet; when it
dries the words will disappear"
| This indeed turned out to be the case
They discussed and rediscussed the
mystery, but no one could throw any
light on it.
