"My young friend In tho foreign office." "I don't see—” he began, when she Interrupted him with a laugh. don t see all the way yet, of course; but I learned enough at Bclborough of Mr. Fenwick’s position at tho foreign onion to know that he Is one of the only men there who could make such a coup. Ho Is one of the minister's sec retaries and has his absolute confi dence." •'But ho would never bo a parly to such a thing ’Bltha!" cried Merrtdow. "It Is at least certain that he would be ruined If ho were suspected of It. And do you not desire his ruin? Would not that bo worth as much to us as this Russian's secret service money? Isn't ho In your way with the Par- incnter girl? And am I not ‘Madame Iloncourt,' tho head of our little band, whoso wits before now have found the means of doing even more difficult things? Have patience, Gilbert, and give mo some credit.” ''You are wonderful, I repeat; but for tho life ot me I can not see how you are going to do this." She enjoyed his perplexity nnd laughed gaily as. shs smoothed back bar fair hair. Sho had beautiful hair and a clear, soft complexion, with sharp, clear-cut features and largo, dark ayes full of changing expression. "Listen. Wo start with much more In our favor than usual. We have to get a certain document from a certain office. Wo know of some one who knows where the document would be secreted. Although the boy refused to love me. we are yet excellent friends, and It will be the easiest thing In the world to find out from him precisely where the document Is hidden. Is not that a great deal 7" she asked, looking up with a confident expression. "We know there Is plenty of money In the Bank of England, but that Is not the same thing as being able to get It," was the doubtful reply. "It Is a good thing for you that I am at hand to prompt you In many things or you would make oceans of mistakes, Gilbert. Are you losing faith In mo?' He bent forward nnd kissed her. "That Is my answer, ’Bltha.” "I love to, have you call me that. Np one else could make sueh an egregious name as Tabltha so charming. However that girl ran have preferred even ouch a good fellow as young Fonwlck to my Gilbert harries me, But you do seem to think me stupid, all the same." "But what will you do?" ho asked aguln. Kite set her head on one side ns she looked at him nnd smiled. "In tho first place I will punish you by not telling you. But 1 shall get some of my friends to arrange for me to see this wonderful foreign office nnd spy out the scene of operations. Then I shall be able to tell you, or any one else, exactly where you would have to go and what you would have to do to get the document; nnd then—why, then 1 shall Ret It, And that's all, except that we shall also get the money, which by tho way I am not the only one to need.” A frown gathered on Merrldew's brow as she said this, but It pnssed and he laughed. "I know you’ll do It all right, ‘Bltha. You can tell ine the rest when you please.” "That will lie when I know It myself, goose," she cried, stroking hts fore head and then kissing It, "And now, dearly as I love to have you here, you must not come again until this thing Is fixed. The Betbornughs and the Par- menters, and, above all, that simpleton Jack Fenwick, must never guess that you and I are—well, what we are— friends." "Only friends, ’Bltha?" "Ah, my dear. If they could only know how I love you!” And she threw herself Into his arms. "It must be goodby for a time, Gilbert; and wher ever we meet next time it must not be here. So kiss me and make much of me while we have the chance." “If we were only rich enough to marry. ’Bltha!” he exclaimed. “Make haste and get the Parmenter millions then.” "I shall get them surely enough; but this young Jackanapes must he pre vented from marrying, that girl or It may be too late." "Ah, that’s my part, and I shall not fall." . "But how? How?" ho cried with another frown of perplexity. She laughed so' her arms round with the light of passion in her eyes. “With such an end to gain do you think I can fall? I swear to you. my dear est, that his ruin Is as certain as the love I behr you. This my pledge on II," nnd drawing his face down she kissed him on the lips. She spoke as - earnestly as though hers was a pledge of pureet love In stead of one of cowardly, treacherous dishonor, threatening ruin and dis grace to an Innocent man and lifelong misery to a pure sweet girl. f perplexity. oftly, tind then putting l ms neck looked up Tke NOVENT: The Petticoat That Gives You Graceful Hip-Lin?s~Its Jersfy Top is Psrfsct Fitting.

I will trouble you no more, however, unless Pate should offer ine an op portunity of serving you. "Meanwhile I am compelled In honor to repeat what 1 said to you yester day—that Lady Belborough has openly declared that only the fact of your be ing the heiress to your father’s vast fortune could Induce her to receive you Into her family. 1 make no charge of the sort against her son, Mr. Fen wick; I believe him to he an honor able, manly man; but were fortune to rob you of your wealth, you would find that both Lord nnd Lady Belbor- ough would forbid him to make you his wife. ’I say this In all earnestness as The Household Surgeon »» Dr. Porter’s Antiseptic Healing Oil A Household Surgi cal Dressing for all wounds, sores and skin diseases, whe ther slight or serious. Second Floor your friend. "Youra In alncerlty, ■ GILBERT MERRIDEW.” Olive received thla letter on the morning after her birthday; and produced some of the effect upon which the waiter had calculated. She knew that Lady Belborough dM not like her, for the mistress of the Cas tle had on more than one occasion made her feelings unmistakably plain. The truth was that sho waa angered by the Influence which Sllverbeech had gained In the village of Belborough and the district round; she envied Its owner's Immense wealth; and was In. tensely Jealous of Olive's personal pop ularity. Lord Belborough's Income was so small, owing to the heavy mortgages on tho estutes, that It was only with the narrowest cheese-paring manage ment the Castle was kept going at all. This was well known all over the country; and his wife's endeavors to conceal the fact under the cloak of exaggerated pomp and 'dignity, were recognlxed and ridiculed. Moreover, as she herself was of no family—Lord Belborough having married her In his teens when she was on ths stage—her Insolently patronizing airs had mode her Intensely disliked. But until Mr. Parmenter's arrival at Sllverbeech, the Castle Inlluence had been undisputed; and then the change had come, gradually, but surely. There had been no display, no os tentation, no squandering of money for the sake of personal advertise ment. But no appeal for any worthy cause ever passed unheeded, whether large or email. The church needed restoring; Mr. Parmenter found all the money. New schoole, a village library, a workman's Institute were wanted; Mr. Parmenter's cheques paid the builders. A hard winter tried the rural population; and at SOverbeech was started an extensive plan for the re building of every rotten, tumbledown cottage In the district, giving work and wageB to all who asked for them. As a result, the whole countryside looked to Sllverbeech for the lead In all movements: and Lady Belborough resented the transfer of allegiance as bitterly as If It had been a wilful per sonal Insult. Latterly, Olive, clever, clear-headed, shrewd-wltted girl that she was, had taken charge of these matters, greatly to Mr. Parmenter's delight; and on more than one occasion she and the mistress of the castle hod come In con- lllet. In one Instance a movement af fecting the whole county was ■ con having his father on his side, had won his way. Olive knew, therefore, that what Mer- rldew had said was likely enough to be true, and the words rankled. But she was sure of . her lover. When he had first asked her to marry him there hnd been no more thought of money In his mind than there had been any knowl edge of his rank In hers. They loved each other, and despite his mother's hostility, Olive had eet about the task of preparing for her wedding with a heart that would have been entirely light and glad but for the condition of her father's health. And a day or two after the formal engagement an Incident occurred which caused her the gravest concern on this account. A servant came hurrying to her to say that the master of Sllverbeech had hnd a fainting fit and was III. Hasten ing to the library, she found him lying on a couch, faint and III and gasping hard for breath. On the floor close be side him lay a telegram, which she read In the hasty glance she cast at It; "After all these years have just heard of you. Expect me. "RACHEL." Replacing the message In its envel ope. she put It away In his pocket while applying the remedies always kept at hand for these heart attacks; and as soon as he was able to be moved she had him taken to bed.

When the doctor arrived the rich man was In condition of In tense nervous excitement and suffering severely from shock. The message had indeed disturbed him profoundly. It hnd served to re open the one page of his life of which he waa bitterly ashamed. In the long distant past, more than twenty years before, he had been entangled In the tolls of a beautiful and unscrupulous woman. In his Infatuation he had been suspected of an act which would have brought him under the law, hid he not then learned the chancier ot the worn- an ana ned the country. Although Innocent of the crime, he had since made reparation a hundred fold for It, but the remembrance of that chapter of hla life had been like a •courge of scorplona to a man of hla naturelly honorable character and ner- voua, aensltive dlapoeltlon. He had worn the sackcloth and ashes of re morseful repentance for all the yean between, and the thought that the se- cret waa now about to be revealed to the world made him ertngo and cower In morbid wretchedneaa and bitter Buf fering. All that day and night and the next day he lay miserably discounting the consequences. The revelation could not have come at a worse moment. His be. loved Olive was about to make a mar- rlage on which her whole happiness depended, and If the facts were known It seemed to him In his morbid fear o«r life wouia be wrecked.
