I trust this arranger. ment will be considered perfecily and strictly confidential.

Mr. A,, who had no personal ac- quaintance with the writer of the letter, was at first disposed to treat it as a hoax, but he found ; from apt. R, that the letter was written in good faith, and so he determined to follow sup.

He made an appointment, to satisfy his curiosity, but the interview carried matters, very little further, as the "broker" would not give any definite information till the Hon. Mr. A. had signed an agreement on the lines laid- ‚down in her letter.

NO MARRIAGE, 'NO COMMISSION. On 7 Aug,, after a little correspondence, the, lady broker wrote another felter to the Hon. Mr. A, in which she said, "I sincerely hope to carry out our little arrangement and sisG cement our future friendship," and asked Mr. A. to copy; and return to her, a draft agreement in these terms:

Dear Mré,,-In the event of my marry- ing through your introduction and of my -receiving on such marriage the sum of £10,000 (ten thousand pounds) for myself, I agree to pay you out of that sam, as and when received, the sum of three thousand pounds (£3,000) by way of commission for such introduction lead. ing to marriage; but it must be clearly under- stood that the introduction is through your nominees, the lady in question is to have a fortune of £3,000 (three thousand) a year in her own right, and to pay me for myself ten thousand pounds, the £10,000 to be paid over to my solicitors, Messrs. ——, in the presence of your solicitor, and the sum of £3,000 da ducted on the morning of the marriage and handed to you or your nominees. No marriage, no commission. All correspondence to be returned on both sides.

(Signed) Mr. A. executed the agreement, and awaited the introduction.

ANOTHER NEGOTIATION, But instead of an introduction he got the following letter:

8 Sept., 1907. Dear Mr. A.-i want to get you settled first, then I want you to bring to me Lord (a well-known peer. Editor."Truth "), as i know a girl for him, £250,000 and two properties of her own, age 26, very pretty. She is the one told you about, and she requires a coronel.
