desired that her sons should be
married, and when Vania desired a
thing her wish was usually granted.
Even Valenski was afraid OF her.
Cyril was taken abroad by Grim
stead and a wife was found for him
in the person Of Mrs. Willoughby's
sister. Into that tragic narrative
need not enter; you already know
the particulars OF it too well.
Cyril soon afterwards was killed,
and the question of marriage again
rose in the cause OF Basil. Zorska
was impossible. Vania once more
issued her commands, and there
was no escape from them Basil
must be married, and that upon q
certain date, orr do not know
what threats she made use of, or
how she was able to enforce her or
ders. ! only know that she was al
ways obeyed.
Grimstead had heard Of your
name, Mrs. Borradale, probably
through one OF your applications
for work.
He knew, too, of your dying sis
ter, and of the sacrifices you were
making on her account For a
money consideration IL was likely
that you would consent to a union
il it was pointed out to you that
the marriage would be in name
only.
The plot was laid, and Mrs. Will
loughby-after Grimstead had for
forms sake approached your So
licitors-Was deputed to carry II
out. Then came an unexpected de-

ed impossible that he would be able
to fulfill the engagement. But
Vania would hear Of no excuse.
She had said that Basil was to be
married at a certain hour, and mar
ried he must be.

their wits ends. Valenski was not
then in America. The only posi-
Bile thing to do was to obtain a
substitute.

Fleetwood was set up in practice.
/ had followed the career of the
boy, though I had not actually seen
him since his childhood, for I had
dropped my acquaintance with his
father after my wife deserted me-
He did not know me by sight or
name. Still, il a substitute had to
be found
There is a young DOCTOR" I said,
who is not unlike Basil in face.
His name is Basil, too-BasIl Fleet
wood Bring him here to see a
case. He is hard up, believe. and
II you tell him the facts no doubt
he will consent to what you pro-
pose.
That, Mrs. Borradale, is how IL
came about that Basil Fleetwood
stood by your side at the altar
when ! pronounced you man and
wife. You were married TO the real
head OF the Borradale family.
Your cousin, Guy Hacking, saved
you from the one attempted abduc-
ton, and soon afterward. as you
know. Basil himself was killed.
And then you. the wife OF the
real Borradale. fell in love with the
one who was false.

RECIPES FOR

CHEESE AIGRETTEs.

This is a delicious and very favo-
rite savory and really not difficult
to make. Dry four ounces OF -four

watched, for II must not color at
all. Then it must be sifted. In a
pan put half a pint OF cold water
and one ounce OF butter and let il
boil. When II boils add the flour
and stir the mixture we'll over the
hre until II will leave the sides Of
the pan quite easily and cleanly.
Now take IT OF the fre and let il
get a little cool before adding two
eggs one by one. Next add q little
pepper and salt and three ounces
Of grated cheese-Parmesan, or any
ordinary cheese. stale and dry
enough to CRATE finely. Having
mixed II well, turn II on a plate to
cool. The fat for frying should not
be quite boiling. Take a teaspoon
full OF the mixture and drop Il into
the fat and fry II a golden brown.
Then drain on kitchen paper. Dust

CHAPTER CIV.
The Truth at Last.

do not think, Mrs. Borradale,
there remains much to be said as
TO the events at Adderley in which
you are interested. The elaborate
mise-en-scene was arranged partial
~ to impress you, but chiefly be-
cause II was Fania's will. The money
which you were to receive was to
be taken from the VaIenski treas
ure, and as Zorska had established
himself as a sort OF custodian OF
this, it was thought we'll TO obtain
his siEnature-without IL there
might have been trouble with him
when one attempted TO touch the
money.
7 could write much concerning IN.
affairs of the hateful place, but Il
seems to me that in the light of
what l have said everything must
be clear to you.
1t was Grimstead who got me an
pointed of course-through Harold
to the parish. He was a little
alarmed, l think, at the extraordi-
nary chance which had taken you so
close TO the actual BorradaIe family
and when II became evident that YOU

Dear Miss Fairfax:

am keeping company with a
young lady three years my ju-
nior, and she has three girl
friends whom she has known
for many years. and whenever
I suggest going anywhere she
tells me she has previously ar
ranged to see the girls. Due to
said appointments, / seldom
get the occasion TO go out With
her alone. Do you think she is
justified in paying 50 much
more attention to her girl
friends than to me. and What
would you advise me to do:
PATIENCE.
II does not look as IL the Young
lady were very deeply in love with
you. or she would not always sug-
gest such a large party sharing in
all your outings. Why do yoI not
write her a note and invite her
