no member of Mr. Coran's family must
learn that this young man Is suspect

his arrest. It would not be unreason

Innocent enough, Mr. Phillips. Will
you come with us, and lend me a

I agreed at once. It could not fall
to be an amusing adventure. After
some discussion, It was arranged that
Peace and I should be Introduced as
business friends of Mr. Coran, who
had asked us down to Brendon on a
sudden Invitation. A telegram was
sent off to that effect.
For the first fifteen mlnuteB of the
train we shared a crowded compart
ment. Gradually, however, our com
panions dropped away until we were
left to ourselves. Mr. Coran was In
evident hesitation of mind. He shifted
about, screwing bis hands together
with a most doleful countenance.
When he commenced to speak he
leant forward as If afraid that the
very cushions might overbear him.
” 1 have mentioned my sister Re
becca,” he said. “ She Is a woman of
remarkable character."
“Indeed,” I murmured, for he chose
to address me more directly.
“We have differed lately on several
points of—er—local Interest. It Is
very Important that she should not
learn the cause of my appeal to the
police. Anything that aroused her
suspicions might lead to consequences
very disagreeable to myself.”
"I will ue discreet.”
“ My
daughters will—er—benefit

them out of It without hesitation If
she learnt that their father bad been
connected with so—er—disgraceful a
scandal. You understand the situa
tion?”
"Perfectly. It must render your po
sition additionally unpleasant.”
He sighed and relapsed Into a mel
ancholy silence, In which the train
drew up at Brendon station. A cab
was In waiting, Into which we climbed.
A couple of turns, a short descent,
and we drew up at a gate in a long
wall of flaming brick.
As we walked up the drive I looked
carefully about me. The house was
also of red brick and of mixed archi
tecture. I believe the architect had
Intended It for the Tudor period, with
variations suggested by modern sani
tary requirements. The garden before
the windows was of considerable size,
with laurels and quick-growing shrubs
lining the edge of a lawn and several
winding walks. At the farther end a
thatched roof, rising amongst the
young trees, showed the position of
the summer house which played so
Important a part In the story we had
heard.
It was striking six as we entered
the hall. Our host led us straight to
our rooms on the first floor. We had
been told not to bring dress clothes,
so that ten minutes later we were
ready to descend to the drawing
room.
Mr. Coran’s daughters, a pair of
pretty, bright-faced girls, were seated
In those careless attitudes which de
note the expected appearance of
strangers. Miss Rebecca, a tall, spec
tacled female, whose sixty years had
changed curves for acute angles, re
posed In the window, reading a vol
ume of majestic size. She laid It
down with a thump, removed her
glasses and received us with great
modesty and decorum. The Inspector
and a fox terrier, that set up a bark
ing as we entered, were the only mem
bers of the party that seemed natural
and at ease.
I found the dinner pass pleasantly
enough, despite the gloom that radi
ated from the brother and sister.
Emily, the victim of the "unfortu
nate attachment,” quite captured my
fancy, though I am not a ladles’ man.
Twice we dared to laugh, though the
reproving eyes of the elders were con.
stantly upon us. In the Intervals of
my talk with her I obtained the keen
est enjoyment from listening to the
conversation of Peaie and Miss Re

very much as If he were a prisoner ac

offenses. Upon the question of antl-
vivlsection she was especially urgent.
