TO-DAY'S INSTAILMENT.
The policeman helped him as to local
information, and he wrote the follow
ing:
"Leavlne Scarsdale at 2:3o p. m.
Passing through Nation at O'Clock,
and reach York 5:1o. Or. scarth per-
mts Journey, and accompanies me.

Gate, q O'clock"
Evelyn and he alone knew that at
that spot on the day and hour named
they became engaged.
The policeman valiantly lent the few
shillings necessary, and the sturdy horse
from the Fox and Hounds tore back to
Scarsdale.
But the constable was of additional
value His researches in Scarsdale pro-
vided fairly accurate history and de-

apron into her eyes when Philip shook
hands with her, saying that she would

verdict.

At ten minutes past five Arson ant
Dr. Scarth arrived in York.

Only few words of entreaty from Eve

Then to the hotel. They sought the
manager.

represents that his name is Philip An

The question was unusual In Its
form, disturbing in It's innuendo The
man who asked 1t was pale, with I'M
naturally brilliant brown eyes. a gen.
