"Oh, I see," said Mrs. Rlvlngton, lompletely satisfied. "What a pltyl But he's always rather a vague man, 1 should think." "Oh, distinctly so,' said Bobby. "Well" He rose.

DACK In Brook Street he and - Frankle discussed the matter from every angle. "It looks aa though It were really pur chance that took him to the Basslngton-ffrencher," said Frankle thoughtfully, "I know. But evidently when he waa down there some chance re mark directed his attention to the Nicholsons." "So that, really, It Is Nicholson who is at the heart of the mystery, aot the Basslngton-ffrenches?" "It seems ilka it." "Why only seems'!" "Well, there Is Just one other pos sibility. In some way, Carslalrs may have found out thai the rtlvlngtons were going down to lunch with the Basslngton-ffrenches. He may have overheard some chance remark In a restaurant at the Savoy perhaps. So he rings them up. very urgent to see them, and what be hopes may happen does hapiier They're very booked up and they suggest hla com ing down with them. That la possi ble. Frankle." "But It seems a very roundabout method of dolnr things." "No more roundabout than your accident," said Bobby. "My accident waa vigorous direct action," said Frankle coldly. Bobby removed Lord Marching tone clothes and replaced them where he had found them. Then he donned his chauffeur's uniform once more, and they were soon speeding back to Stavorly . "If Roger has fallen for me," aald Frankle demurely, "he'll be pleased I've come bsck so toon. He'll think I can't bear to be away from him for long."

Bobby drove up the drive in si lence. Frankle sprang out and went Into the house without a backward glance. Bobby drove away. The bouse seemec very silent. Frankle glanced at the clock. It was half-past two. "They don't expect me back for boura yet," she thought. "I wonder where they are." She opened the doo. of the library and went In, stopping suddenly on the threshold. . Dr. Nicholson was sitting on the sofa holding both Sylvia Basslng-ton-ffrench's hands In his. Sylvia Jumped to her feet and came across the room towards Frankle. He's been telling me," she said. Her voice was stifled. She put both hands to her face as though to hide It from view. It's too terrible!" she sobbed, and brushing paat Frankle, aha ran out of the room. rR. NICHOLSON had risen. Fran IS kle advanced a step or two to wards him. His eyes, watchful aa ever, met hers. "Poor lady!" he aald suavely. "It has been a great shock to her." The muscles at the corner of bis mouth twitched. For a moment or two Frankle fancle . that he was amused. And then, quite suddenly, she realised that It was quite a dif ferent emotion. The man was angry. He was hold ing himself In, hiding bis anger be hind a suave, bland mask, but the emotion was there. It was all he could do to Md that emotion In. Tbore waa a moment'a pause. "It waa best that Mra. Baaslngton Ifrench ehold know the truth," said the Doctor. "I want her to In duce her husband to place himself In my bonds." "I'm afraid," said Frankle gently. "that I Interrupted you." She paused, came back aooner than I meant." On Bobby's return to the Inn he waa greeted with the Information that aomeone was waiting to sea him. "It's a lady. You'l" And her In Mr. Askew's little sitting-room." Bobby made his way there slight ly puixled. Unless she had flown there on wings he could not see how Frankle could possibly have got to the Anglers' Arms abend of him. and that his visitor could be anyone out Frankle never occurred to him. He opened the door of the :mall room which Mr. Askew kept as his private sitting-room. Sitting bolt up- ngnt in a chair was a slenil-r figure dressed In black the girl of the photograph. Bobby was so astonished that for a moment or two he could not apeak. Tbeo he noticed lhat the girl was terribly nervous. Her small hands were trembling and closed and un closed themselves jo, the arm of the chair. She seemed too nervous even tn speak, but her largo eyes held a kind of terrified appeal.
