"I don’t suggest anything,
your ticket. That's all."
"I can prove that it-was taken. The
Hon. John Fenwtck, Lord RelboroughV
son, was with me when Itooklt at Ox
ford. You Can telegraph him,"
"Why don't you make him a duke at
once," answered the man. winking. “We
know your sort. Ketch a conitable."
he told a companion. "Here's a woman
traveling without a ticket and pitching
a yarn that It was stolen from her in
the train by a man, dressed as a worn
an. who stole everything she bod as
well,” he said to the policeman who
came. "Want* us lo wire to Lord
Somebody or other to prove ahe find
one."
Tho policeman, unfortunately for
Olive, was an even, bigger tool than the
railwayman. Going to charge her?" he
asked bluntly.
■'That's for the guvnor to say, of
course."
"I was stabbed here In the arm,” said
Olive then, pointing to the spot.
"Show US.”
“It Is under my dress,'' protested
Olive.
"Mis. Smith, our searcher. Is In the
station,” said the constable.
The woman was sent for and took
Olive Into a private office, where the
dree* bodice was taken off and the
wound shown.
Then the men were called In. "It’s
only a tiny scratch," was the report
"8ho might have done It herself. 1
found this In. her pocket:" and she
handed over the paper which the mnn
had left In the carriage.
;'A put up Job. sure enough,” was the
verdict.
“I would not have believed It possible
that Englishmen could behave In such a
way." cried Olive, vehemently. "I have
been nearly done to.death on your line,
nnd you take me for a common cheat.
But you shall suffer for this, all of you.
I have frtendn powerful enough to make
that certain. Do what you-wilt."
The woman went out then, and the
two men spoke together in low tone*.
The official left the room soon after to
return with the stntlnnmaster.
The official had given his version of
it and It had evidently prejudiced him;
but ho listened quietly to Oliva's atory,
and then said: "You wish me to tele
graph to Mr. Fenwick?"
"Yes. at Belhorough Castle."
"It shall be done at once, of oourst;
nut I must request you to remain here
until we hare the reply. Unfortunate
ly, we do not know you, and we have
so many strange stories told to us that
we are obliged to be cautious."
Ht* tone was courteoua enough, but
his manner was full of doubt.
For some hours Olive remained In
Iho little room by herself, eating her
heart out with mortification and rising
apprehension.
Then the station master returned and
she saw by his face that there was
trouble coming.
"I hnve telegraphed, as you wished;
but this Is the result;” and he hnnded
her the message.
"No truth whatever In the story.
"FENWICK'
She stared blankly at the message
and looking up found the station mas
ter's eye* tlxed keenly upon her.
"Hadn't you better admit everything?”
he asked, not unkindly.
"Every word I havo uald Is the
truth," declared Olive, with almost
piteous earnestness. She was growing
more and more alarmed and dlscom
posed.
"But this message?" was the retort.
' I can't understand IL I can't ex
plain It, except that I am certain thera
I* *omo horrible mistake."
"Can you semi for any friend or any
one who know* you in Sheffield?"
"1 am an utter stranger, nnd know
no one."
Ho shrugged Ills shoulders at the re.
ply and looked very grave. “I am afraid
I have only one course to take.”
"Walt,” cried Olive, suddenly, "Jf
you will telegraph to Mr. Richard Case
ment, solicitor, of Frampton, he will
answer for me."
But he shook Ida head, ' (.have al
ready sent one message. I can not
send another to meet with a similar
■vault, f will communicate with him;
but meanwhile I ran not keep you long
er In the station; and. If your atory Is
correct, he will no doubt folio.stspa to
have the matter put right before the
proper auhnrltlea.”
"What do you mean?" abe asked,
turning pale,.
"We have the ' strictest ' orders to
prosecute In such ruses. I am not my
own master In such matters. I am sor.
ry for you, vary sorry. You nre a very-
young girl to be m such trouble, but I
have no option."
"You mean you will give me In cus
tody?" she cried, nghnst at the thought.
"It I* too grave a caso for me to
overlook. You have made a most se
rious charge against the company—that
nn outrage was attempted, that you
sought to stop the train without result
ami that you have been robbed on the
Journey. Hut for that I might have
taken the responsibility of releasing
you. But the ease must take Its due
course. It must, Indeed."
For a moment Olive turned chill and
faint with dismay nnd sat with bowed
head and tightly clenched hands. Then
she recovered her self-command and
rose.
'As you will," ahe aald, calmly, "t am
ready.
"I will give you one more chance of
contradicting your story," he -said,
pausing.
"1 have nothing to contradict. I have
told only the troth.” she said, firmly.
Something In her manner appeared
to Influence him and to shake hi* belief
that she wae an Impostor. He wavered,
but then with a sigh and a shrug of
the shoulder* he went out, to return
with the constable.
They all left the room together and
Olive at flret hung her head In shame
at her disgrace, but she nerved herself
directly and lifted her head proudly.
A* she did so, her name was uttered In
a tone of Intense surprise.
"Miss Pnrmenterl” It was Mrs. Mer
rldew.
Olive was passing without paying any
heed,-but the stationtnaster etopped.
“Do you know this young lady,
madam '."’ he asked.
"Of course I do."
Al 111* request she returned with them
to the little room, and the matter was
explained io her. Mrs. Merrldew'* an-
ger biased out and she stormed fu
riously at all concerned. Asked If she
would answer for Olive she rent led
with great warmth, and that she would
at once pay the price of the ticket, and,
what was more, would see that the
whole matter was thoroughly Investi
gated.
Olive waa so overjoyed at beretcupe
from tlie terrible position that she was
ready to welcome even surh a helper os
Mrs. Merrldew, and when the two were
left together, the matter haring been
arranged for the present, she thanked
b*r cordially.
