He picked up his rod and basket, and asked if he might sec Miss Burnside home, whereupon Masterscn declared that he would go. too# Crosbie would never be able to find his way from Castle Burnside to Yarrows. Miss Betty said she would be charm ed to have their company, only one or them must carry Flossie to save her damp fur from getting soiled by the dust. Crosble proposed that, ao his fishing basket was empt--, the tiny dog might be conveyed in that. The idea delighted Betty, and so the party set j off.

There are grave reasons why she cannot be your wife.” “I am entitled to know the reasons,” said Lio nel, “and if they exist anywhere but in your imagination I can overcome them.” He then proceeded to state the cir cumstances of his family, his means and social position, to none of which idid Sir Malcolm pay any attention, J and wound up by demanding the name j of his rival in Miss Burnside's affec- j I tions. “That I meat certainly will not tell j | you," cried Mr. Malcolm; “but marry!

All the gticdtj wue to remain Incognito lint 11 mld- i night, when at a given signal everyone, waa to unmask The host and ho»- j tew alone were exempt from the uni versal rule. Everyone had arrived and the mer-, rimoitt was at its height when a foot man came to Sir Malcolm and inform ed him that t> masked gentleman, who! would not give Ills name, awaited him in the library. Sir Malcolm, wbo only thought the interview was some Jcke, on the part of one of his guests, and who was quite entering Into the spirit erf the fete, wi-nt at onre to the library. The masked black domino who awaited him closed the door carefully and, pointing to a chair, seated himself op posite. “1 have eome lo you. Bir Malcolm,” said the inask In a mysterious voice, "un a matter that affects your position and even your title.”' Sir Malcolm felt a cold chill run through him, but he answered, bold ly: “My good sir, no trumped up tale can in any way affect either.my title or my position, so that we need not continue the subject any further.” The mask bewod and handed Sir Malcolm an official looking envelope, and requested him to road what it en elosed. The letter was from a firm of New York lawyers, offering to prove, if it were made worth their while, that toe present baronet, Sir Malcolm Burnside, was not the rightful heir, as the son of the late brother, Sir Robert, was still living. The letter further stated that the real heir was In ignorance of his claims and that the lawyers, who had come into the possession of the facts accidentally, would take no fur ther stops unles a substantial amount were forthcoming to indemnify them for cost of case. As he finished reading th- document i toe hand that held the paper tremb | led. j “Who are you that brings this absurd tissue of lies?” he demanded. , “It matters nothing who I am, and I [may tell you that you are acting fool ishly If you disregard this warning, r am hfie to make a proposition to you— a bargain you may call it."
