fefndpS "f tsitltl pui oNi'NH ASD much" he said.
 He felt restless and unhappy at the Red Grange. He had wished to be there, and yet nov he WAS back onco more. he felt that he would give any thing to be in London again.
 Down here in tho country one was so out Of touch with things. Any day Fisher might have news of her, and then it would mean an elapse of hours before he, David, could be com municated with and anything could be done.
 He was hack in town again on the Tuesday. He went straight to Fishers office.
 Have you any news for me-" Eut there was none. Monty tried to say what he had bscn thinking for the past fortnight.
 Give it up, David-she'G come back if she wanted 10. She must have recognized tho advertisements have had inserted"
 David set his jaw dossedly.
 "I mean to find her, if it takes me a year. mean 10 hear the truth from her own lips before l give in"
 There vas 2 tap at the door. A clerk entered with letters Fisher glanced up. Put them down, Evans; thank you. You need not walt" But the young man still fingered. There is one, sir, not meant for this office, l think"
 He indicated a thin envelope on the 1 top of the others. l Tho name at the head of the ad- dress had caught his eye when he was sorting them---"Miss Mary Fur niyal." and beneath il Fishers office address. Mary Furnival. The name of tho girl he had SO romantically met in the omnibus tho night tho Mutane went down. He had thought about ner so often since, and wondered if he would aver see ber again. II had given him little stab Of pain 10 so unexpectedly sec her name written there,
 Fisher glanced at it, and for a mos ment his eyes flashed into excitement. Then nc sad uuletlS.
 "oh, yes, thank you--that will do." He looked at the young man curious ly az he lrft the room. He was sure now that Evans knew something Of Mary, or of Nigel's Riie. He had felt sure of l. all along. even when Evans had denied knowledge Of that cable.
 When tho door closed, he pushed tho letter oyer 10 David.
 This may help us,' he sad. David snatchcd it up.
 For Mary. why--I shall open it or course"
 He slit the flap asiiatcdly. and drew ont the contents. They were badly written, and smcarcd as If with tears.
 Dear Mary have written to yon ever so many times, and never had 1 one answer. It is unkind Of you. considering all that Nigel ard l did for you when VIC were first married. ] am in dreadful trouble. as I told ' Son in my last letter. My husba.d : is 20 ill--they gay he will never be ] well afain--snd nearly all our money ! has gone. ask you to sec David pretherton for me. and apd out 1T he would not do something for us. I think he might, as he got rid Of me cheaniy.
 What did you do with tlr money you got for thn contents Of the Hat? would not ask you for fl. but I rlust have money somehow--ue want a. u..s4 az ns,tr tom"one will help us.
 Robert is brokcnhcarted that he should have brought me 10 this. He says over and over again tha' ii would have been far better for me to have remained Nigt1's widow than have become his wife. He doesn't know my precious brofhersin-law. does he? 1 might have starved for an he would have cared. But you used to be kind, Mary. so do be kind now. and try and help me. If only could como home! lt's so dread frl beinE ont here amongst strangers, and with no money.
 Please cable me if you get this safslv. am sending it to Mir. Fishers office. as no other address sesms 10 find tou.
 Your miserable, unhappy Dolly.
 That sss slI David finished read inr i' to tbe end, ihrn he turned hack. and looked a' the address.
 Fisher vas watching him silently.
 ''NeH." he asked.
 Its from the woman Nigel mar. rfsd. She has evidently rarriet again" There uss 2 sort of grim mess in his voice: the lines Of hi mouth looked. hard.
 "Eead it-read it for yourself" b' said. ....
 He pushed the letter across.
 "shs seems to have strong idea about me. cannot believe that sh' got them from Nigel"
 T always said she ras 10 good Sirsl made the mistake Of his If , when he married her. Poor boy" CHAPTER Lft. On the Track , There was a little silence phii Fisher read the letter.
 We know better how re sian' nov. at least" he said more cheer fully.
