CHAPTER XVI. KEVHALS AN ASTOUNDING FACT. Dinner was announced, and I took Mrs. Mivart into the room on the opposite side of the big old- fashioned ball, a long low-ceilinged apartment the size of the drawing-room, and hung with some fine old family portaalta and miniatures. Old equire Mivart bad been an enthusisatie collector of antique chins, and the specimens of old Monts- Japo and Urbino hanging upon the walk were remarkable as being the finest in any private he had made to Italy to acquire these queer collection in the country. Many were the visite looking old medieval plates with their orade colouring and rude inartistic drawings, and certainly he was an acknowledged expert in ceramics.

Mrs. Migart, like the majority of elderly widows who bare given up the annual visit to London in the season, was a trifle behind the times. More charming an old lady could not be, yet in common with all who vogetate in the a trifie just depths of rural England she was narrow-minded. In religion, she found fault constantly with the slings parson, whom she declared was guilty of riunistic practices, and on the subject of her daughters she bemoated the latter-day emancipation of women, which allowed that to go hither and hither at their own free will. Like all such mothers, she considered wealth a necessary adjunct to happiness, and it had boon with her heartiest approval that Mary had married the unfortu- nato Courtenay, notwithstanding the difference beween the ages of bride and bridegroom. In every particular the old lady was a typical pacimen

of the squire's widow, as found in rural to-day.

Let us hope he will be more successful than Doctor," she remarked, sighing for the first time. I hope he will-for the mystery of it all drives me to distraction." Then placing both hands to her brow, she added, Ah! if we could only discover the truth-the real truth?

"But in the months that have gone by surely the police should have at least-made-come-die- covery" she said in a voice of complaint.

The tying trip abroad might be in connection with the case, but I felt confident that it was not a know as well as I did, that the truth was to be found in England.
