 We were all wrong, John," she | mouthed. Tt wasn't George as ruined her, nor Sir Dudley as killed George. She'd told me all about | it."
 They brushed the evil>old woman ] aside and entered. the room where 'the pet of the pictures" as she was fond of calling herself, still re- clined upon the horsehair couch. But she had recovered from her first collapse. Her eyes were shining with some of their old careless i'm pudence.
 "Chcer-oh, dad:" she cried on recognizing her father. "Cheer-oh, Mir. Tee! And cheer-oh, Doctor Wheatley! You remember me as kiddy, don't you, doctor? You never thought you were vaccinat- ing cinema star when you pricked my poor little arm, did you?"
 The doctor made his examination and rose from 1t smiling. s
 NO need for any depositions ! here" he said. There are no bones 1 broken. Nothing but few bruises | and 8 severe shock which will pass off in a day or two with proper at- tention."
 After giving instructions to the parents the doctor took Wragge by the arm and together they left the cottage.

I , expect" Wragge added with a chuckle," that I shall have to en- tighten Miss Kathleen Glenister be-
 fore she goes to bed if l am not to have my ears boxed, and there , is no reason why you should not
 be present. You medical gentlemen can always be trusted to keep a
 secret"
 On reaching the Grange they |. were received by Hinkley with the
 news that Sir Dudley had been car ried up 10 his bedroom and that he had not regained consciousness f The doctor at once went up to him
 and Wragge was shown into th'
 dining room, where Kathleen ant [, Norman were partaking of be |, lated meal. Ali Grinstead was alst Il seated at table, having been in f vited to join them so that he migh 4 recount his adventures. For some In
