puzzled frown.

Her eyes fell on the table, and she
advanced into the room wiping her
hands on her apron.
did you ever see such bunch of
letters?" she said.
"Forty-tive," returned her husband,
grimly, "and more to come" He picked
up the newspaper lying beside the
chair and opened it.
"Them's the result of that" he con-
tinued graphically, Indicating para
graph with square finger, and thrust
ing the paper under his wife's nose.

She put down the paper on chair
and stared first at her husband and
then at the rows of letters neatly ar
ranged on the table.

length. Fair flying in the face Of Pro-
whence. Crime, Denny-crime. Don't
you get 'aving nothing to do with such
mad pranks, my man, or you and me

admonitory finger at him. and retired
slowly to the kitchen.
A moment or two later Hugh Drum
mond came in. Slightly under six feet
in height, he was broad in proportion.
His best friend would not have called
him good-looking, but he was the for
tunate possessor of that cheerful type
of ugliness which inspires immediate
confidence in its owner.
He paused as he got to the table and
glanced at the rows of letters. "Who
would have thought it, James?" he re-
marked. "Greet Scot! shall have to
get partner"
With disapproval showing in every
line Of her face, Mrs. Denny entered
the room, carrying the kidneys, and
Drummond glanced at her with a
smile.
"Good morning, Mrs. Denny" he
said. Wherefore this worried look
on your face? Has that reprobate
James been misbehaving himself?"
The worthy woman snorted. "He
has not, sir-not yet, leastwise And
if so be that he does"-her eyes trav-
eled up and down the back of the
hapless Denny who was quite unneces-
sarily pulling books off shelves and
putting them back again-"if so be
that he does" she continued grimly,
"him and me will have words-as I've
told him already this morning" She
stalked from the room, after staring
pointedly at the letters in Drummond's
hand, and the two men looked at one
another.
"It's that there reference to crime,
sir, that's torn it." said Denny in a
hoarse whisper.
Thinks I'm going to lead you
astray, does she, James?" He was
opening the first envelope, and sud-
denly he looked up with twinkle in
his eyes. "Just to set her mind at
rest" he remarked gravely, "you might
tell her that, as far as 1 can see at
present, shall only undertake murder
in exceptional cases."
He propped the letter up against
the toast-rack and commenced his
breakfast. where is Pudlington,

We have the neucleus for a splendid

are IDEAL: but the spirit under which the
hospital is managed and maintained is
absolutely wrong, and now the funds
are insufficient to meet its expenses dur
