IN the sweet progress of time would

illustration Of the Survival of the
f1ttest." -.
Market gardens had at one period
stretched for square mile or two
here-famous potatoes, historical
Strawberries, and world-renowned
rhubarb had had their birth and
growth and death here, when South
Lambeth folk of a few years back
had constituted the crossroads and
by-paths their country walks on Sun
days. Now it was vast desert of
bricks and mortar, Of huge heaps Of
building material, an inchOate mass
of half-fnished trees and terraces
for the middle and lower classes, the
lower classes predominating-a will
derness which, with it's extempOre
roads and muddy, unlighted cross
cuts, was to be Stunned after dark,
and until the parish took it over and
the metropolitan police included it in
their regular beats.
Spark street itself consisted of a
row of some fifty tall narrow houses
on each side Of the way, the last half
dozen on the right hand supposed to
be complete, and to be let at mode
rate rental, the rest of them, gaunt
windowless and dOOrless ruins, with
scaffold poles awry, and iron ratings
rusting away, and every sign Of an
unlucky builder having exhausted
his resources, and "cut and run"
from the place after the supplies had
been summarily stopped. The road
way was impossible for man or
beast; an earthquake would have
treated it more differentially than
humanity had done. There we're open
graves yawning in it everywhere, and
green, moldy hillocks that might
have represented graves badly filed
up and put together; there were
pools of stagnant water deep enough
to drown one; and all the oyster
shells, old boots, and discarded Aus
tralian meat tins Of South London
seemed to have been collected here,
along with various cats and dogs
which had come to die IN peace in
Dark street, and had not been dis
appointed.

7 wonder [ had not thought of this,
and searched the Postal Guide for
name Of a similar description. There
was something strange about the en-
velope, too, on which the address was
written. The superscription was in
GEORGE Fafrfax's handwriting; the
envelope was addressed to Miss Della
Nash, SO Spark street, Clanronald
street, CamberweIl, S. E.; it had
been through the pOst-the official
date of two days since was stamped
IegibIy thereon-and it had got in
some inexplicable fashion, back into
George Fairfax's hands.
Hence it was evident that Fairfax
had been in correspondence with the
Younger sister; that he had, perhaps
two or three weeks ago, solved the
mystery which had been so long a
perplexfty to me, and kept that mys-
terv to himself. For what reason,
and in whose interest?
Perhaps 1 should be able to solve
all that for myself with my first in

cognomen, I thought, when l had set
