Several years passed IN this way,
and the gardener began to believe that
his suspicious were unwarranted, and
by and by Hughes, with characteristic
frankness, sought out FELTON,, made
himself known to him, told him his
purpose in coming to America and
apologized for his mistaken thoughts
"Villiers, of course, when he heard
Of Hughes presence in the United
States, was surprised, but at the same
time overjoyed to see him. He found
good position for the faithful serv-
ant in Chicago, and the surveillance
ceased.
However, the two kept In touch.
Hughes became lake sailor, and VII
liers' employment carried him over
vast stretches of country.
For one protesting the warmest
sort of friendship for villiers, Haddon
FELTON, was singularly affected by
Hughes presence In America. Ger
tain plans Of his were upset, and
where before he could act with as
surance he now had to move cautious
ly-fearfully. His affected illness
quickly brought him and his friend to-
gether again; they were soon in a re-
mote region among the mountains;
and he resolved to act boldly.
Nov, from their early boyhood up
to this time there had been an extraor-
binary physical likeness between the
two friends. Perhaps this Is what
brought them together; cannot say
1t is not that they were doubles, or
that acquaintance would ever mis-
take one for the other; but such a
likeness did exist, and was often COM
mented on In and around Widibald,
and later on in America.
"Felton's plot was fastened by an
unforeseen happening-the death of
Mr.. Villiers, ST. He saw an advertise
ment inquiring for his friend, and
per from Gerard, he knew that sooner
or later his friend must see the ad-
vertisement. They were high among
the mountains of California, spot de-
liberately chosen for his purpose; and
now, instead Of waiting for the sick
Gerard to die, he fastened that death
with arsenic.
"You see, he was counting on the
years having SO toned the old resem-
blance between the two, that Gerards
few relatives and acquaintance in
England would consider times pas

Felix Hazard was engaged in his

when his keen brain was concentrated
Upon the Ynraveling Of some particu.

any time to lay aside the most press,

there is something the chief wants
you to dip into. He's talked to me
about 1t, but it's the sort of case that
hardly falls within my scope. There
are some features about it, though,
that struck me as being rather odd"
She broke off to ask, quite irrele-
vanity:
Felix, what Is your conception of
the average blue-blooded Britisher,
one who has money in bales and bar
rels?"
Hazard directed q keen glance at
the lovely, earnest face. He was &C
customed to being called upon thus
suddenly to bridge wide gaps in the
others train Of thought, and in the
alert expression above him he now
sought some clue to guide him at least
to an intelligent reply. Not finding
any, he returned In affected derision:
"G'wan. there amt no SIGH animal"
Helen's fine gray eyes crinkled in
smile. She said:
After you've delved into this you'll
think differently. A month or more
ago we were asked, through our Lon

closely. The old carved handle was
much worn; but a recently engraved

but kept in touch with home till

when he's entitled to inherit whole

Impossible; it's too great strain
on the intellect" Then, with mock
heroic flourish, Hazard laid a hand
upon his bosom. Behold" he de-
claimed. 81 am Rupert, the long-lost

Once more alone, Hazard remained
bowed over his desk for an hour or
more, and it was not until he returned
from luncheon that the bundle of pa
lpers required to him. He picked them
up, and with no hint that he was about
to enter upon one of the extraordinary
episodes of his career. slipped the rub

him, he learned that an immediate
visit at police headquarters would
probably reward him with information
respecting a matter in which he was
interested.
AS the Sutherland agency and all its
branches worked in harmony with the
regular police, he did not ignore this
hint; consequently, few minutes
later, he was closeted with Police
Lieutenant Cowles and plain-clothes
man Of the central detail.
Ever hear of rough-looking
fresh-water sailor who answered to the
name of Bill Hughes?" asked Cowles.
Felix Hazard ran over the list Of
sailors in his well-stocked mental di-
,rectory, and finally shook his head.

newspaper clipping-"we found this
on him."
Hazard carefully conned over the
clipping several times. but 1t afforded
no light until all at once he recollect-
ed the bundle Of papers that Helen
Bertel had brought him. Was this
what they were about? The clipping
appeared thus:

at The Yews named William Hughes.
Their objections, singularly enough,
were based upon identical grounds
vague but none the less powerful dis
trust of Haddon FELTON,. Gerard, how
ever, laughed at his fathers intangible
fears, and Mr.. villiers could not press
his indefinite objections.
Therefore, few days later, when
William Hughes came privately to the
father and expressed similar suspicious

whereby the gardener was to follow
