There are three of them," he auswered, and for a while he said no more. The General looked from him to John Jervase, and back again, and if bis face were at all an index to his mind, he saw something which did not please him. His stooping shoulders straightened, and one hand flis went up to stroke the grey moustache. brows straightened, his mild gray-boy grew stern, and his mouth was ruled into a straight line. The fact was that the Generol had bad an almost lifelong experience in the great art of reading men, and though he had preserved a child-like simplicity in his dealings PORTABL with the world, the fact was due a thousand "My dear Jervase," oxid the General. *My times more to the charity of his heart than to dear Mr. James!

He reached out a crumbled piece of paper to bis cousin, who took it from him and after a single glance at it, started again, and, pala ne he was already, grew still paler.
