E'ARNHAM paused, and looked from
Tai to me appealingly. The girl too
raised her eyes to ours for moment with
dumb plea before letting them sink
again to her lap.
Il had no right to bring my trouble
here, Farnham went on again, "to the
home of one who had been so kind to me;
but the house was empty, could trust the
care-takers, and my need was desperate.
Not wishing to involve Rogers who had
become very nervous over the affair, |
myself drove Miss Winnington's car in
which we brought my brother here. On
the way he had severe hemorrhage
which accounts for the bloody handker-
chief you found; and within an hour of
our arrival here he died.
Again he halted for moment
"All this time-snce Friday-I had
heard nothing about Miss Hoyt, whose

"Thank you, Farnham replied. aYou

"My great regret is that Mr.. Farnham
did not tell Miss Hoyt the truth" she
added more calmly. Il feel responsible

She rose.

porte-cochere was dark, except for the light
that streamed family from the house;
and Dr. Rice, who was in the machine,
hardly turned his head to acknowledge
our introductions. Then Tai pushed ahead
of me and got in front with him, which
saved me again.

from Higgs, who told me Mrs. Otison did
not seem greatly concerned. But just
after my brothers death she 'phoned
Higgs that Miss Hoyt's guardian had put
the search for the girl into the hands of
the police.
"What were we to do? 1t seemed un-
likely that any one would look for Miss
Hoyt here; still, as it was possible, it was
imperative to remove my brothers body.
So we buried it; and |, because there was
no one else to do so, read the funeral
service from prayer-book given to Miss
Leighton on her wedding day by girl
friend who was in her confidence. This
book was accidentally dropped in the
woods, where you found it next morning.

sobbed SO hysterically the night before.
Somehow, with her regular features, white
skin, and dignifed bearing, she suggested
astatue.
Farnham asked our names, and as
gave mine watched him closely; but ap-
parently it meant nothing to him.
Il wish to present you to Mrs. Farm
ham-my brothers widow" he said.
Then he told his story, and what he
did not tell in words it was easy to supply.
He had had an elder brother, George, who
after giving his family all kinds of trouble
had taken himself off to the Orient and
had been within the year reported dead.
A few years later Herbert had gone to
Australia to try gold-mining. He had,
on arriving, gone at once to work, pre-
senting no letters and making no social
connections.
Then to the mines came Melbourne
newspapers with accounts of one Her.
bert Farnham, future Lord Darrow, who
was cutting a wide swath in society,
and on the side paying court to beauti-
full actress, Mary Leighton, member of
London company. A letter from
a friend followed with the information
that the impostor was none other than
George, and Herbert hurried to Mel
bourne to see his brother. There he
learned that George had married Miss
Leighton, who had week later sailed
for England. George, it appeared, after
missing the steamer, had mysteriously
dropped out of sight.
RRINGING to bear all the influence
at his command, Herbert had pre-
vented the story of the imposture and
marriage from becoming public; but,
considering it unwise to remain in Aus
tralia, had sacrificed his interests there
sailed for the United States, and hidden
himself on ranch in the West until Ro-
berta Hoyt happened along and he fol-
lowed her East.
In the meantime, Georges wife, learn
ing the truth from Herbert, was as keen
as he to keep secret the unfortunate affair
But there was some gossip about it in
London; and when, through friend
who knew her story, she met Miss VIM
nington and was invited by the old lady
to travel with her, she had jumped at the
chance to leave England. 1t was in Chi
cago shortly afterward that she had re-
ceived letter from George, written in a
Western penitentiary. This she sent to
New York to Herbert. who at once Joined
her, and together they visited George,
whom they found i'll with incpient lung
disease. In the fall, coming to New York
with Miss Wilmington, Herbert had nat
urally visited her.

"curiously, just the day of Miss Hoyt's
disappearance, that got word from my
brother that he had escaped from prison.

The disposition today was TO with
hold any comment, inasmuch as the
actual proposals had not been re-
Iceiyed. il was expected the first for
Imality would De accomplished quickly
and there would be disclosed what
thus far has been largely a matter OF
conjecture, whether any specific
terms have been put forward BY the
ITeutonic allies.
one OF the factors, which, according
to an opinion expressed here, mill
tates against acceptance of the pro
posal, is that the opening OF negot.a.
tions would necessarily be followed
by an armistice. No specific sugges.
ton of an armistice is made in the
proposal so far as is indicated by
the unofficial reports received, but il
is said the precedent of 1865 in the
Austro-German peace negotiations.
and Of 1870 in the Franco-German ne
gotiations, establishes that an arms
tice and suspension OF military actiyi-
ties follows the opening Of negotia.
tiOus.
Making Attitude Known.
Although little confidence is shown
lin London that any result will come
from the peace proposal Of the cen
tral powers and the opinion prevails
quite generally that the time is not
opportune even to discuss terms.
there is an uudercurrent of feeling
that something would be gained by
making the world acquainted def
nitely with the objects of the bellig-
erents. The attitude of the British
government toward the offer will be
made known in the house OF commons
tomorrow provided sufficient time
shall have elapsed to permit consulta-
tion with Great Britains allies, and
this statement is awaited with the
greatest interest.
Little Time VIII Be Given.
If the press which supports the ad-
ministraton, correctly interprets Of
fetal opinion, little time will be taken
up by consideration of the move Of
Germany and her allies, although the
moderate opinion OF the country does
not favor too hasty rejection of the
oyertures. 1t is believed the German
people, once acquainted with the OBJ
jects Of the entente, might be more
inclined toward peace and that for
that reason, il for no other, the terms
of the entente allies should be made
known officially to the central pow
ers.
The possibility that President vii
son will make some suggestions when
the offer also is much dis
cussed. 1t is intimated that he might
express willingness to present the
Of the central powers.
