Bannf is elever, but the cleverest rogues give themselves away, leave traces behind, clues to follow. I purchased a desk from Abs Catchem, that was used by Bannf before he left Sydney. There were sundry odds and ends in it. Pieces of paper fluttered about, and these at tracted my attention. I thought, he has been obliterating traces, he may have left You know have something behind. always been anxious to trap Bannt since he cleverly wriggled out of that case in which I proscuted, and of which I m sure he was guilty. I hunted through the desk. I found a piece of paper with the Dame James Lovett, written on several times. The signature was written by Banuf, he was practising to make perfect when he was satisfied with the result of his skill, he signed your father's name to shadow of doubt the cheque; I have not about it. There is more. Bannf did not half do his work. I found a cheque lying loase; it bore the next number to the one on the cheque he cashed for five thousand after your father's death. I took it to the bank and verified this. Bannf stole your father's cheque books; what are you going to do I advise you to have him arrested. He is in Sydney, there will be no trouble dangerous man will be laid by the

"Who wrote that?" asked Bannf with strange calmness,

"So you conclude from that letter this document is a forgery???
"Yes"
"It in mot."'
"Tahall do as my friend advises," said Geoff!"
"Have me arrested?" "Yes,"
"Supposing all this were true, would you like it to be known that your wife's father was a forger; would it increase your happiness or hers to know that while you were living here he was in prison?".
It would not," said Geoff.
What shall you do!" asked Bannf.. "You have heard what Harry Burney says?"
Yes."
He will prosecute on behalf of the bank."
"Well?"
"Why not go away before they catch you," said Geoff.
You will give me a chance 1" said Bannf.
"Yes, for Mab's'anke, for Susie's sake, to save them from the disgrace."
"Geoff Lovett, you're not half a bad

If you will do the right thing by me I will leave Australia."

THE DISCOVERY OF A BRITISH PHYSICIAN.
The practice of prescribing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of Anaemia and Neurasthenia inaugurated many years ago by Dr. Guiseppe Lapponi, the famous physician to Pope Leo xiii, is becoming more and more habitual among medical men of all nations. Out of many expressions of commendation received from the Profession the following are selected as showing French and Italian experience and opiniou :—
DE. GAETANO FAILLA.
(from a photo)
Dr. Gasteno Fafells, of Tarin, writen "I am pleased to inform you that I offen prescribe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and that they have always given satisfaction. I look upon them as a perfect remedy for Ansmis and Chlorosis, and also to restore convales. cents to health.".
Dr. George Oriot, the distinguished consultant, of 4 Ras de l'Entrepôt, Paris, writer: Dr. Williams' Piak Pills yield excellent resalts to my pationis in cases of poverty of blood, narvons debility and allments of women. I have succeeded, particularly, in curing, by a relatively short treatment with these Pills, a person suffering from aggravatəd Azmomia."
