Pat Off. srxofsia: white Bobbv ; and Dr. Thomas are playing got near their home in Watee. they find a man dying at the foot of a cliff. But Hobby is haunted almost as much by the woman's Itice he saw OH a photograph in the man's pocket as by the ocrurrence itself. He has been in London lor a lew days, and on the train home he meets his friend. Lady t'rnncee Derwent, a childhood Iriend whom he has not seen lor some time. Frankie is borrd with London, and .lot too thrillrd with the prospect of going home either Chapter Four ABOUT BADGER HOBBY'S relationship with Frnnkle was a peculiar one. As thlldren he and his brothera bad ),s,& Tilth the children at the Cas lie, No' tnat they were all grown IP, they seldom came across each Slber. When they did, they still used Christian names. "I'm so tired of everything," aald ("rankle In a weary voice. "Aren't fou?" , Bobby considered. "No, I don't think I am." "My dear, how wonderful!" aald Frankie. "1 don't mean I'm hearty." said Bobby, anxious not to create a pain ful Impression. "I Just can't stand people who are hearty." Frankie shuddered at the mere Bobby had played nentlon of the word. "I know," she Durmured. "They're dreadful." They looked at each other sym pathetically. "By the way," said Frankie aud lenly, "what's all this about a man tailing over the cliffs?" "Dr. Thomas and I found him," mid Bobby. "How did you know ibcut It, Frankie?" "Saw !t In the paper. Look." SHE! Indicated with her finger a small paragraph headod "Fatal accident In Sea Mist." Ths victim of the tracdy at Marcribolt was Identified lata In nlglit by means of a photograph whli-h he tors carrying. The phnto f raph proved to be that of Mra. Leo Cayman. Mra. Cayman ival communicated with and Journeyed at nnre lo Marehbolt. where she tdrnUurd the ill-censed as her brother, Alei Prltchard. Mr. Prltrhard had re cently returned from Slain lie had been out of Knrjand for ten yenra and waa Juat atarttns upon a wnlk tna tour. The Inane! will be held at Marehbolt tomorrow. Bobby'a thoughts flew back to the strangely haunting face of the photo graph. "I believe I shall have to give evidence at the Inquest." he said. "How thrilling! 1 shall come and hear you." "I don't suppose thcro will be any thing thrilling about It," said Bobby. "We Just found him, you know." "Was he dead?" "No not thon. He died about a Quarter of an hour Inter. 1 was alone with him." Ho paused, "Hnthor grim," said Frankie with that Immediate understanding that Bobby's father had lacked. "Of course ho didn't feel any thing" "No?" "But all the same well you see. he looked awfully alive that sort of person rather a rotten way to finish Just stepping off a cliff In a silly bit of mist." "I get you, Sieve." said Frankie and again the queer phrase repre sented sympathy and understand Ing. "Did you see the sistor?" she asked presently. "No. I've been up In town two days. Had to see a friend of mine about a garage business n-o're go ing In for. You remember him Badger Beadon." BM-tuM of h.a outtndln work In the Rogti Biver nntlonl fort, K p.

Frankie wrinkled her brows. "He's got an awfully silly kind of laugh Haw, haw. haw Ilka that," continued Bobby helpfully, STILL Frankie wrinkled her brows. "Fell off bla pony when wi were kids." continued Bobby. "Stuck In the mud head-down, and we had to pull him out by the legs." "Oh!" said Frankie In a flood of recollection. "1 know now. He stam mered." "He still does," said Bobby proudly. "Didn't he run a chicken farm and It went bust?" Inquired Frankie. "That'a right" "And then he went Into a stock broker's office and they fired him after a month?" "That's It." "And then they sent hlra to Aus tralia and he came back?" "Yes." "Bobby," said Frankie, "you're not putting any money Into this busi ness venture, I hope?" , "1 haven't got any money to put," said Bobby. That'a Just as well," said Frankie. Naturally," went on Bobby, at the castle. "Badger has tried to get hold ol someone with a little capital to Invest. But It Isn't so easy as you'd think." "When you look round you," said Frankie, "you wouldn't believe peo ple had any sense at all, but they havo." The point of those remarks seemed at last to strike Bobby. "Look here, Frankie," he said. "Badger's one of the best one of the very best." "They always are," aald Frankie. "Who arc?" "The ones who go to Australia and come back again. How did he get hold of the money to start this busi ness?" "An aunt or something died and left him a garage for six cars, with three moms over, and bis people stumped up a hundred pounds to buy second-hand oars with. You'd be sur prised what bargains there are to bs had In second-hand cars." "I bought one once." said Frankie "It's a painful subject. Don't let's talk of It. What did you want to leave the Navy for? They didn't ai you, did they? Not at your age" llnbby flushed. "Eyes," he said urn Illy. It was Just after five o'clock when Ihey reached Slloham, which was the station for Marchbolt, "Tho car's meeting me," said Frankie. "I'll give you a lift," "Thanks. That will save me carry ing this benstly thing for two n.llcs." Ho kicked his suitcase disparag ingly. "Three miles, not two," said Frnnkle. "Two miles If you go by the foot, path over the links." "Tho ono whero " "Yes whore that fellow went over." "1 suppose nobody pushed him over, did they?" asked Frankie as she banded tier dresslng-cnse to her maid. "Pushed him over? Oood Lord, no Why?" "Well. It would make It much mors eieltlng, wouldn't It?" said Frankli ld!y. fcrVirll WI-.'J It. Ats's fa.i.K.1 Mra. Cayman disappoints sjobby, tomorrow. dlatrtct aa well." Mr. Janmich dslar- ed.

When the poet died, church authorltlea differed as to his light to be burled with Mo hammedan church rites. They decided to nettle the matter by lots. A book of Haflz'a poems waa given to a vhlld who was told to open It. The place to which the volume was opened, thfcy believed, would give some clue. When the book waa open ed by the child, church authorities looked with amazement upon these words by the poet: "Withhold not thy foot from Hafia; For though he be drowned In Bin, He farcth forth to Heaven." The poet was Immediately given a church burial, And later made a saint. Kls tomb at Shlras became a ahrlne of Mohammedanism and pilgrims still visit It there.
