Wo will shortly follow Leonard Sefton to the Mermaid Hotel, where a pale girl with set lps sat anxiously studying a ledger, and striving to forget a pile of blile locked away in an adjacent drawer; but we have not yet finished with the small boy on the beach. A shadow fell over him as he wrote, In a penny note-book, "August 20, 3.28 p.m., alza ten, pointing South, wasn't there at 1.9 p.m., tido com- ing in.". The shadow brought his mind away from the tide that was coming in, and for the second time that afternoon he looked up quickly. But, this time, no friendly eyes returned his gaze. A big, frown- ing man stood watching him, and the boy instinctively "slid his note book back into his pocket. Later on, that same note book recorded the stranger as "a well-drest gent high up in society with gray hare and fat," and we cannot improve upon that description.

For a few seconds they regarded ench uther fruitlessly, and then the well-dressed gentleman observed, with a smile in which there was no geniality.

"And what's making you so busy on a hot day?"

"Nothin' air," replied the boy, an ever-useful formula.

"Nonsense! One, doesn't write nothing in a little black book," said the well-dressed gentleman. "Were you making sketches?"

"No, sir," answered the boy. "Well, you must forgive me for being inquisitive," the well-dressed

who sketches, you see, and 1 thought perhaps, if you were doing the samo, you might let me have a peep. But I see I was mistakon." The boy decided to confirm the mistake.

"I ain't no artist, sir," he piped. "I works at the 'otel, and that was jest a washin' lat."

"I'm-a washing liat," murmur- ed the well-dressed gentleman. "Well, of course, that would hardly interest me. By the way, who was the man you were talking to just now?. I believe I know him."

"Dunno, sir," replied the bay. "Did he, too, think you wore sketching?"

"No sir. 'E'e fcat asked the way to the 'otel, that's orl."

"And is that the hotel over thero?"

"Yessir."

"Ah. Then I shall know where

to look him up. Thank you. Good afternoon."

"Afternoon, sir," answered the

boy.

He watched the well-dressed gentleman walk away, but not until ho had seen him cross the bench and disappear in the little gap that led up the low cliff did the little black note-book come out of hiding. Then was recorded, brielly and tersely, this meeting with "h well- drest gent high up in society with gray hare and fat"; and, three minutes later, another sentence was
