THE VIILED LADY. The neighbouring houses were mostly closed, Ytheir owfore being out of town for the suminer; but the cue before which I halted was apparent- ly occupied, therefore I boldly ascended the steps and rang the bell.

One bot, oppressive evening, after I had been in Richmond Road about three weeks. I was busy seeing the patients who, orowding the waiting-room between the hours of seven and nine, entered the consulting-room one by one to describe their physical ills, when the servant came in with a card, saying-

A lady wishes to see you at once, sir.”:

I took the card she handed me, and started with mingled surprise and satisfaction when I

"No. She was very discreet, and that's what made me scent a mystery when you called, and My summons was unwered by a burly ill-usked for the same person, and to see the same dressed man in carpet slippers, who, when I rooms."

Well." I said, “Mr. Ashwicka lived here until a short time ago, that's very curtain. I feel sure I haven't mistaken the house. I used to be a visitor hare. Would you mind me glancing at some of the roams

He eyed me with distinct suspicios. "No." I laughed, "I'm not a wall mobxman. nor a barglar on the look out for likely house to rob. In a doctor." And to convince him I took off my silk hat and displayed my stethos- cope in the lining, as well as giving him a card. Well, he answered, rather manneredly, "I don't ee why I should satisfy you. You aren't a friend of Mrs. Stentiford's

"No." I admitted Hat Tenly desire a glance at the library, and at the bedrooms up- stairs just to satisfy my curiosity.".

"Why?**

Well, to tell you the truth there occurred here, in this house, an incident which was the crisis of my life. For that reason I am full of curiosity to see the room again, aid I ask you as a favour to allow me to do so."

I was sorry that I had no money to give him a tip, but my las half-crown reposed in the corner of my pocket, and I could not summon courage to leave myself ponniless, so I merely thanked him, and descending the steps, left him with disappointment plainly depicted upon his

face.

The man might be useful I felt. therefore I had decided to return at an early date, when my funds are not so low, and give him a simi far tip to the que he had received from the veiled lady.

Who was she, I wondered? Surely it could not have been Boryl herself?

At last he was in Londen again! But how. I wondered, had she discovered my whereabouts. Quickly I went into the hall, and there found her with blanched face, and in a state of great agitation.

Ah, Doctor," she gasped breathlessly, as I greeted her and our bands met. "I am so glad I've found you! I went to Hammersmith, but your friend, Dr. Raymond, told me you were

here.

What is the matter I inquired, surprised at her eager manner. Has anything veenr- red?"

Yes; something most mysterions: she answered hoarsely.You are the only doctor whom I can trust. Will you come with me at once? I have a cabin waiting."

Where I inquired. To your honen ? *Yes," she urged. "Do not let is loss time. Apologise to your other patients here, and come at unee Et's a matter of life or -death,

Of life or death " I cried. "Who is ill "It is all a mystery." she answered, in the same breathless manner. But you will keep it a secret-promise me.“

By good fortune, on my return to Rowan Road, I fonu'd a letter awaiting me, and on opening it discovered that it was from a doctor practising in Bayswater, who, in reply to my application a weak before, appointed me his locum tenens.

Well I asked. What is it?" That you'll try and forget all about this mystery of yours," he said earnestly. You'll be getting brain fever, or something equally disagreeable, if you don't try and control your- self and think no more of it. The experience is unusual; but depend upon it the mystery is so well kept by the set of scoundrels into whose hands you fell that you'll never get to the bottom of it."

"But I mean to solve it." I said resolutely, "I'm married, my dear fellow; and well, I love her."

Very well," he said, at last. after a moment's hesitation, come along. You say you want to zou the library. And I followed him down the hall, at the end of which he opened a door. I went in and looked around. Yes, it was

"You're gone on her, and Temptar had sat with his evil face in the shathe mystery makes you the more enger to claim dow, the chair wherein the major had sat when her as your wife." he offered me his cigarette case everything was just as it had beau on that close fatal day. There was the clair beside do table-the chair in which I had out when the Temptor had made the dastardly propoest that I should murder the helpless woman who was my vife.

Nothing had apparently been moved.

I looked into the dining room, that same handsome apartment in which champagne had been drunk to my health and happiness. Bah What a mockery it had been!

Then I persuaded the man to take me up stairs, and recognising the door, entered the room in which I had held the deader hand of Beryl The great handsome bed upon which she had been stretched was still there, the mir Tors with their dusty half-burnt candles in the sconces, the clock on the muntel-piece, all wore there.

I stand in the centre of that recia dazed and wondering, like a man in a dream...

Suddenly I aroused myself to a consciousness of my surroundings, and, pointing to the wall against which the boil stood, inquired what room adjoined.

"I think it's a dressing-room. Let's so And he led me to the next spartment, which proved to be as he had statxl.

We went into several of the other rooms after, that, and all of them were, I found, well fur. nished in a style rather out-of-date, but never- theless comfortable.

Thon, you're a fool, Dick."

"Because you are jealous of this young Chet- wode."

I don't deny that I'm jealous," I replied with perfect frankness" But I know that Beryl is in danger, and us her husband, I should be at her side to protect her."

"That's all very well; but after all your exer- tions you're really discovered absolutely no- thing."

His words were, alas, only too true. I had inade many discoveries, bat each of them had only served to render the veil of mystery more imperstrale. No single point had I been able to clear up with satisfaction, although I lud spent many fovered days and sleepless nights trying to puzzle out some solution of the pre-

Good-bye, Dick, he responded. "But I do wish you'd take my advice. Both your health and your interest will suffer if you don't. You're a clever man, for cleverer than I ever here to be, but if you don't give up all thought
