Going iato the dining room he
had a talk with Mr.. Miller. The re-
suit of this conference was that
the kindly neighbor got his car
out of the shed where he had left
lit, and drove over to his own
home, returning later with his
wife, a buxom woman OF forty.
To her Butler explained condi-
tions in a way that made her con-
slider him a very remarkable young
man. He was a type as foreign to
her as Elizabeth had seemed to

The matron liked John Buffers

to carry out his requests These
were that Elizabeth be looked after
carefully and that Mrs. Chaplin be
waited on and comforted until the

other should arrive on the scene.

explained briefly before asking Mrs.

made laws which would insure a
royal prerOEative for evermore.
Thus il happens that King George,
through an act of Edward II. be-
came entitled to the royal stur-
geon," which was caught a little
while ago in tho Firth of Forth.

the sturgeon is described as a

by which the lord mayor benefits.

her on the way over here. she knew
that a mystery was connected with
Amos Chapin's death. II was not

So much interested was she that

advised her to go into the spare bed

went reluctantly and was careful
to leave the door of the spare room

the eyes OF the slumbering
woman on the bed
For, worn out with weeping and
soothed by the voice of her COM

man had at last gone to sleep.
When Elizabeth had made sure of
this, she moved away from the side
of the bed and. seating herself In
great chair, closed her eyes
She was very tired. She had not
appreciated this until now when,
for the time being, she need not
exert herself
The long tramp through the
woods, and the fact that she had
had nothing to eat since noon, made
her physically weary Strong emo
ton and the necessity for self con-
troll had told on her nervously
But she must not yield to any
sense of weakness. She must try
to think out all that had happened
