ceiving this praise on all sides. There
are few things in the school work that
have as much real benefit to the school.

CHATTER III. The Hero.

There was silence for a moment or two after Mir. Lexham had finished the tragic tale. Dexter Reece, for getting that he seldom took spirits, helped himself to neat whisky, and drank it in a kind of suppressed ex- eitement.
 Its terrible story; tragedy. in- deedr' he said; and his usually soft voice was so thick that he was com pelled to clear his throat. Surely the murderer or murderers were dis covered, the child regained?"
 "No." replied MT. Lexham gravely; though it is scarcely necessary to say that every effort to track the criminal, to recover the child, was made. Detectives were at once set to work; every port was watched; not a foot of ground for miles round was unexamined. Unfortunately there had been fall of snow in the night, and any foot-marks that the murderer may have made were effectually GOV. cred. No stranger had been seen ir the place-which was not extraordi. nary, because the district was ever more sparsely inhabited than it is now. The surgeons who examined the wound were convinced that the murder had taken place early in the night, probably during Sir Mortimer; first sleep, certainly many hours be. fore his death was discovered; for Sil Mortimer was a late riser, and his valet had orders never to disturb him before ten o'clock. There was plenty of time for the criminal to take the train z. some small station, and react London"
 "But, good heavens! there mus have been some clue!' exclaimed Dexter Reece.
 There was none," said MT. Lex ham gravely. "The blow wa! delivered in such manner as tc cause no flow of blood to mark tn.
