 "Ho! you have had a murder, have you?" said his lordship with lofty indifference.
 Tt was in all the newspapers" came the feeble protest that anyone could have missed the publicity of Cheverel doings.
 My good girl, I never read news papers" the nobleman snubbed her, "Tho was murdered and by whom ,"
 "It was Sir Francis Lathrop Of the Grange who was murdered" re- piled the bookkesper They ain't caught the murderer yet. That's what Inspector Roake is staying here for"
 The information elicited no imme- diate response. That it had had its effect on Lord Bulpeter, his long si- lence indicated He was evidently rurinating on what he had heard
 Sir Francis Lathrop?" he said presently. By jove, that must be the Frank Lathrop I was at Eaton with. Has he left any family--a widow, for instance, or sons and daughters"
 "Only q daughter, my lord, Miss Margaret. You cant hardly count the new baronet, Sir Guy seeing as he's only ntphew. Besides, hs isn't at home at the Grange just now"

 He included us both in his fare well bow, and retreated into the room which Mrs. Ticer occasionally furnishes n the summer 10 a pay ing guest. AS he did so he gave me a speculative look which disconcert- cd me. I suddenly remembered the tiny envelope which he had dropped and l had secreted unknown to him. Had he missed it, and was he revolving in his brain the pos sibilities of my having it and of his chance of recovering it?
 Firmly I crushed back the specu- lation, telling myself sternly that 1t was born of hysteria aud turned my attention to the problem presented by the presence of Steve" In Mrs, 1 Tiver's home.

 Lord Bulpeter retired 10 hook his cap of the hall stand and as he did SO Inspector Roake appeared at the door Of the coffee-room. The In- spector was positively smirking,
 "I couldn't help hearing what your lordship was saying to the young lady" he tawned T had no notion that I had been feeding in such august company I am going to the Grange myself, and if I may have the privilege of walking up with you I shall be greatly hon ored"
 Why did you make faces at me in the coffee-room ." inquired Lord Bulpeter in tones of the utmost terocitv.
 Roake looked rained If I an moved you with facial contortions, my lord, I humbly apologize I was not aware Of your lordship's dis tinguished personality, and it is my duty to regard all strangers with suspicion while engaged in murder case"
 Do you mean to assert that I am of the murderer type;" beloved the peer
 God forbid, my lord" the har- assed officer protested. What l was going to suggest was that if you are i going to call al the Grange and &C., company you I may save your lord ship some trouble.

He loves to live alone, does Grubby. It. At least, I don't think there Is. But Grubby Gopher is just spelling for fight all the time. You wouldn't like Grubby. No, sir, you wouldn't like Grubby. And what is more, he wouldn't care whether you liked him or not. He hasn't any friends. At least if he has any I don't know who they are. Everybody hates him out there, and the worst of it is he doesn't seem to care. My, that fellow certainly can spoil the looks of a piece of land about as quickly as any one I know of. l guess it is a good thing for him that he rarely comes out excepting at night. ThenHooty the Owl is always watching for him. Hooty Is one of Grubby's worst enemies"
 What does he do with all that he stuffs into his pockets?" asked Peter.
 "Oh, he takes 1t home and stores it away" said Digger.
 Does he sleep all winter?' Peter inquired.
 NO" said Digger; "no, he, goes right on digging just the same, only it's underneath the snow. He's a good worker. I'll have to say that for him, but if you should meet him unexpectedly he would show you four as ugly looking teeth as you have seen in a long time, and I am quite sure you wouldn't want to have anything more to do with him.

 Has he got q long tail }" asked Peter. Peter is Always interested in tails You know what funny little apology for q tail he has. It's just like mothers powder puff.
 His tail isn't very big" replied Digger, Out it's very handy. He uses 1t much as Miner the Mole uses his. They both have to go backward in their tunnels sometimes, and those tails, which are almost naked, feel the way for them. Yes, indeed, Grubby's tail IS very handy. He likes to live alone, does Grubby. Yes, Sir, that fellow likes to live alone. guess it is just as well, because you know how people with mean d!sposi- tions are hard 10 get along with. He doesn't show himself Any cttener than he has to, and that Is very sel- dom. But I will say one thing fes him, and that is he is clean. Yes, sir, he's cleaner that good many people I know. He keeps his burrow clean, and he always airs it out. So even if he does have d mean, dispo- sition and Is ugly to look at and no body has good word for him, he really has at least one good habit.

SHELLFOOD TREASURE

There may be something in cocktails, after all. At
least, in oyster cocktails.
A New York police captain indulging in that
temperate concocton is his luxurious custom SUD
denly found himself wondering whelher the oyster
lust entering his mouth had swallowed marble DO
ing little quick police work, he discovered large
pearl which jeweler assured him later was worth
$1,000.
And that suggests what IS probably as good rea-
son any for eating oysters. Keep at It long enough
and you're pretty to bite on pearl. Treasure
has an ''r' in it.
But there's usually flaw in treasure-hunting
schemes If the truth known, discovering pearls
doubtless costs more in dentist bills than all the pearls
are worth in the market.
