FATAL MOB RIOTS

We are sending a representative from our London branch to receive ur instructions, who will cable them to us, and in the meantime we shall be glad to know if it will be passible for you to come to New York and personally superintend the carrying out of our late client's wishes, which he has no doubt set forth in the enclosed letter."

John shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know," he said. "What is your opluisin?"

Well, if you really want it, it's this: I'd jolly well let Myra What's her-nume see I didn't care a damin. There, it's out! Couldn't help it."

This letter was signed P. Weldorf for Weldorf and Pearce-solicitors. Greatly wondering and unable to grasp the situation fully, John Sheldon took up the letter from Mr. Dickers.

"Oh, I was forgetting about Aunt Lucy, Jon laughed; "I was only thinking of you and myself, but of course you must have a chaperone. I often think of poor old Diekers and his sad story."

"Yes, and how he must by now be regretting all that horrible time, and Mrs. Gilrow's depth, and his own part in it. I wonder what be came of all her beautiful things. I often think what a terrible time she must have had after. Mr. Dickers saw her at Torquay-al- ways going in fear of him because

"Eighty thousand pounds! Eighty thousand! Oh, John, you are joking!" Misa Sheldon gasped again. For once in her life she was genuinely flustered and excited. Her tone of voice na she called Elizabeth's name brought the girl flying down the stairs, fearful of some terrible catastrophe-some. thing had happened to John!

The tale was soon told, and per- haps never in their lives had the listeners heard a strange & history, Miss Sheldon was a little hurt at having been kept in the dark about Elizabeth's plight and restie, but everything was swallowed up in her delight at John's news, he himself being as pleased as any schoolboy with a new possession. Only Eliza- beth was silent while the other twa were rhapsodising, und John stifled feeling of jealous wonder as to whether she was grieving over Conrad Dickers' death.

"I forgot / have a piece of news for you, John," Miss Sheldon said as they rose from the dinner table. "Myra Gayle and her husband are arriving unexpectedly to-morrow." "Indeed? I suppose Mra. Gayle will be like a hen with one chick or two,"

John laughed. and "There's a ring at the bell; I ex- peet it's the lawyer chapple. Don't place those other roots in the rock garden till I come, Elizabeth."

He left the room whistling. Miss Sheldon looked at his word.
