TENDER SCENE
OOBBY asked bow the subject of
the. Nicholsons bad coma up,
but this Mrs. Rlvlngton waa unabla
to tell him.
1 "But what If It you want to know
ibout Mr. Caratalra7" the asked.
I "I really wanted bli addreaa," ex-
I plained Bobby. "As you know, we
' let for him and we've Just had a
rather Important ctble from New
I Fork you know there'a rather
I lerloua fluctuation In the dollar juat
aow "
Mra. Rlvlngton nodded with des
perate Intelligence.
"And so," continued Bobby rap
Idly, "we wanted to get Into oucb
with him to get his Instructions,
and he hasn't left au address and
laving beard him mention he was a
friend of yours, 1 thought you might
possibly have news of him."
"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. "I apologize for
aklng up so much of your time."
"Oh, not at all," said Mrs. Hiving
en. 8r. Nicholson was holding Sylvia's
hands.
"So that's all right," thought Bob
by, as be walked away down Tlte
Street. "I seem to have taken Dolly
What's-her-name's character away
(or good, but I daresay she deserves
It. And that charmlnr Idiot of a
woman will never wonder why, if I
wanted Caratatr's addreas, I didn't
Imply ring up and ask for It!"
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."
"I'm not sure that you ran bear

beard that really dangerous crimi
nals are singularly attractive."
"Somehow I can't believe he la a
criminal."
"So you remarked before."
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.
"So It's you," sold Bobby at last
