Rut Mr. Merryweather had not yet produced ilmself. In fact It was while my m uhei put glasses on a tray In the lining room that 1 heard a car In Woadcot lane. 'Take tho tray In to LhxIou, will vou. nnthrr?' said I. "Ke!?p him alking till I've spirited Cousin iohn out of tho way." Am 1 went down to Ihe road, p.it-hing the 5 ate as the taxi pulled ip. Hello.

"In my studio round Uc back of the house." "Could 1 see him without belne seen?" "I don't quite know how you could, Cousin John, un leas you crfu'd g?t a peek at him by the Side of the blind." "Will you lake me there?" "By all means. This way." It ceriainiy seemed as If Cousin John might be a rather troublesome relative. We wen;, quietly round to the hack of the hou.se. Unfor tunately I had not noticed that the blind of the big north window bad not been drawn. A huge square of bright light lay -a the ttirr. Nearly tho whole interior of the room was visible. My mother stood talking to Professor Laxton. Cousin John leaped back ju.it as he was about to step into tho square of light. "That man " "Professor Laxton?" "Co and get rid of him. I'll wait somewhere outside. Does he know you have a visitor?" "Naturally. He's taking himself off to leave room lor you. Wait here by the shrubbery and I'll go and get him out of It." As 1 entered the den I guessed that Laxton had heard the arrival of the toil. So 1 said to my mother: "Cousin Jolm's just come very tired, hut he'd like a little supper when he's had a wash." Whereupon Laxton put down bis glass and soon look his leave. When the coast was clear and I brought tile man In from ' shrub bery, and he stood revealed In the light of the hall, I bad a terrible jar. But my mother jist amllet In her sweetest way and said: "Well, Cousin John, bow are you ?" The man was tall, and between 30 and 40 years of age. lie had a stubble of beard of three days' growth at least, whk'.i 000 n':i u 11 over Ins face and this wa3 the si. lister thing was quite as long as his hair. Is there a less pleasant spsctaclo titan a man whose hnir has been clipped to ff uniform length of a quarter of in inch, o that his scalp shows through everywhere? This mar bad a sMpely head, but In bis dark eyes he look of a hunted wolf. He wore nondescript clotbea. he held in his left band n battered hat and In his right a ag ged b:g. lie might have runwiiagod an old clothes shop and t en the first thing:, that came lo hand. My mollier is a very dainty woman rather fragile appear ance, but really quite sound and gracefully active. And she. likn a hostess receiving a distinguished guest, walked up to this fearful tramp and sal. "Well, Cousin ." ibn, how aro you?" Ho put down the queer-looking black hag he carried, took Ihe ox tended baud and bout over it. And then lie was no longer tramp hut a man who knew bow to behave with a woman; I from the terri ble face there came that deep, haoming voice. "I'm very grateful, Mrs. Gmiofcn!" "Nonsense," said my mother. "Tom, take Couslu John up to the halhroom. I fine you'vo got some things, Cousin John not like Pro feasor Laxton." "No." said ln. "I've no ' lugs not a rag.
