business. Pretty soon / could hear
the beggar bouncing around; then he
began to groan and swear. Finally he
yelled to be let out. for in his fright
he had lost the key, crying that he'd
make clean breast of it all, only
for Cords sike, tike him out!'
Ashley had been stationed in the
hall for just such an emergency, and
when he broke open the door found
his pseudo cousin in a groveling heap
on the floor. When he came to he
confessed the whole imposture.
And who was he? you'll ask.
Wen, 1t seemed that his real name
was Albert Edgerly, born in Bermond-
sey, tailor by trade. who'd fallen in
with Lionel Ashley when the latter
was keeping sheep up-country in the
Australian bush. They'd been no end
of pals together and there was a GER
tain amount of physical resemblance
For ten years they were chums. ana
in that time the heir to the peerage
had unbosomed himself freely to his
companion concerning himself, his
family, and a thousand and one petty
details which the cunning Edgerly
carefully treasured. When Lionel
Ashley died, the other thought ii
would be easy to pass himself off for
the long-sought heir. A eleverer or
more cultured man might have sue.

fatally against him.
However, he had the mother on his
side, and there is no telling what an
English judge and jury would have
decided had the case ever come to
trial. So perhaps it was fortunate
that ! was able to brighten the truth
out of the bold and daring impostor

When we met in the drawing-room
just before dinner ! hastily whispered
to Viscount Ashley:
What about your family ghost? Is
there one?"
He changed color, laughed uneasily
and murmured back: They say So

rs 1t true that Red Lady always
shows herself to the rightful heir and
to none other, just previous to his
accession?"
Ashley rose nobly to the bait Z

effect. But she never showed her.

We both laughed incredulously, tell

all that, with the result that we had
him pinned down to the boast that he

The viscount had introduced me in
my right name as an old school friend,
so there was no danger of the pseudo
Lionel taking alarm. By the second
dinner time we were the best of
friends. During the day | had tramped
over the park with him, and he had

no symptoms of backing down, and
about half-after eleven we two gravely
escorted him down the long dank'

gloomy chamber whose chief article
of furniture was big oldfashioned
