Author of “By Right of Sword/* Synopsis of Previous Installment. Olive deride* to enter the home of the Merrfdewn disguised ns au Irish servant f rtrl. She accordingly make* such changes a her tippenrnnee ns she deem* necessary, mid cull* ou her obi 1 rleud,- Lawyer uwni, who Is completely deceived by the dlsgitls". Olive, however, tells him who she Is and later goes to bis house to meet Mrs. fa semen t. To the Casements she tells her stor.v of persecution nt the hnnus'of-Gilbert Merrldew. But Olive said no. "I wish him to believe me dead. To punish him alone will not give me what I seek.” "That he does, believe yon dead I have no doubt," replied the law yer. "I have a reason. It so happens that a client Qf mine Is the owner of the mining property in Cornwall, not far from Bodmin: useless, worked-odt mines they are; and / have had a let ter from Merrldew’* solicitors offering to buy It. I have no doubt It Is the place where he took you. The reason they give for securing the property' isr that Merrldew has been interesting himself In mines in thpt district and believes that something can be made of them. I was glad enough for my client's sake to negotiate, of course; but now I understand. His object .la either to fill In tin/place, or else, un der the pretence or exploring It, to hava what he believes to be your dead body ivered. He could then safely tell this He that he had married you. The villain!" "Then he', must have throw’ll that poor wretch down the shaft," said Olive with a shudder. "Poor soul*"* "I haven't much pity to spare for her." replied the lawyer drily. "Blit It will mean a charge of murder against him when the time comes?" , “It must not come yet," declared Olive, firmly. "But don’t let him have the mine. ^That grim secret must be kept." "I can easily hang the matter up for u week or two. But, meanwhile?" "Mollie was in earnest, this morning In asking you to help h^r to a situation, Mr. Casement. .She wants to go to Sllberbeech as a servant.'’ No, no, no, my darn* young .lady. Not that, if you *dease;\* and he shook his head very decidedly. . MoIIle O'Brien Is just, as Wilful as you once said Olive .was. Bhe means to go; and if you won’t help'her, she'll find the way there herself: bedad and begorra, she will." He continued to protest; hut. she would not give way and in the end gained her point. "Well, as It happens, mould be the easiest thing In the world. They have discharged every one of the obi servants from the Manor, and have .jind the greatest .difficulty By ARTHUR W. MARCHMONT. In getting "new ones. When any go there they won’t stay.” Here’s one that will,*’ cried Olive, gleefully. "But how can MoIIle get a character?” and she looked shrewdly at her old friend. You are not going to ask me to help in such an unprofessional business?" “We're not at the ofllce now. Not. lawyer and client Just friends, you see. And the poor girl must have a char acter, musn't she? And I’m sure she wouldn't do anything, to disgrace it Perhaps dear-Mrs. Casement has some U lend who—'* ; lie smiled, ‘i’ll see what can be done. The truth Is they are’so badly In want of rervantr vhey would' not be particular" And so It was arranged. Then they spoke ‘ of Jack and Ills trouble: and olive outlined h#r plan, it was that Mr. Casement eliould find some means of giving information which would insure the arrest of oil the members of the sang known to Olive. • "That will frighten Merrldew an 2 this Mis.

"The part I don’t like. Olive, Is your going to Silverbeech. I would much rather send a private detective." "No" she cried, Instantly. "No one knows the old house as I do, and no on would have a thousandth part of th- Incentive to find out things that fkould have.” "Then have some one else there as well "No, again, to that. I should be in c mutant dread of discovery and should have n double load of responsibility. I must be alone. He had to yield to hei. "And no>v, what ara we to tell Mr. Fenwick? You can Imagine what his anxiety ban been." * “Poor Jack! I con, indeed. But he must bear It a rlttle longer. He will easily identify the woman, Anna Hart tnann,! and will have hope that tho mystery is to he cleared up. He must not even know that 1 am alive.

"He is much more troubled about you than his own affairs.” - ■"And. therefore, the more certain to be unable to keep the secret. He must not even be warned that Mrs. Taunton Is what she is." -And, as Olive* wished, so nil «vas set tled. But on one point Mr, Casement was Arm. Olive must take means to keep him informed'every day that all as well with her at Silverbeech. "It may be Impossible without rais ing all manner of suspicions." she ob jected. "A single envelope with your address on it. If seen, would start u thousand suspicions." < ' "Then address them Jo Bridget O'Brien, at this house. I rim qulte'de- termlned. No letters from MoIIle, no character for MoIIle. I am determined not to lose touch with that young lady again. And if there comes a day with out a letter,. I shall go at once to the Manor and refuse to leave without see ing her. I’ll And a reason. She shall come Into a fortune If necessary.” . Three days iajer Mollie O’Brien drove up.the avenue, at Silverbeech to enter •n her new situation as between-mald n- the household, and she had not been a couple of hours in tne servants’ hall before she had them alt laughing at her quaint speeches and’‘droll Irish yarns, and had established herself as favorite. She was as ready-handed, too, as she was nimble-wltted. No matter what to be done that day, Mollie was ready to do it; and to do It well and quickly. >„ The next morning Mrs. Cooper, the housekeeper, began to instruct her in her duties. "You know, of course, what a be- ■ ■ ■■■ ■— 1 tween-maid has to do, Mollie?" U "Savin’ your swate presence, that’s WOUNDS WOMEN Just what I don’t.

"Well, you are to help upstairs In the morning and In the. kitchen after ward." "So long as I'm- not to be In both places at once Jtil be all right, ma'am, "But you must understand.

CHAPTER XLI. The Stolon Paper. Olive entered the room for the inter view with Mrs. Merrldew with her eyes downcast and her hands crossed, and dropped a little curtsey ns If appro priately awed and humble in the pres ence of *o great a lady. This Is the new maid, madam." an nounced tho housekeeper, nnd Olive curtseyed again, shot a swift glance at "the mistress,” and let her eyes fail again instantly. Mrs. Merrldew was looking at her very keenly, and Olive Judged that the scrutiny was Inspired less by a desire to Judrfe her fitness tor a servant’s place than by her uneasy distrust of any stranger coming Into the house. Olive had been quite confident that she would not. be recognized. If. Mr. Casement, <Muv knew her so well, had been misled by the disguise, Mrs. Mer- rldew, who had seen so little of her, as not likely to pierce It. Her con fidence was Justified.

"I hope I know my place better nor that, ma’am. Father O’CIafferty would tell your honor that”— Never mind that," was the Impa tient interruption. ”\VWat la her work. Mrs. Cooper?" "She’s between-mald, tna’qm," replied the housekeeper. Do you know your igork thorough ly?" • * * - Sure. Mrs. Cooper can Hdi you that sjune. ma’am," replied Olive, glancing at the latter. “Why, the girl’s deformed. What’s the matter with your shoulder?" “They told me I’d grown faster on this side nor the other, ma’am," and Olive put her ham\ on,the little hump she had fashioned nnd moved the arm piove that she could Use It freely. "She** a very Btrong girl, madam.” declared Mrs. Cooper. "She has proved that already. And we’re very short- ianded Just now " "Sure, I’m not short-handed," pro tested Olive, ns If misunderstanding this to apply to herself. "See now," and she stretched out her two hands, i Kven, Mrs. Merridew's hard face re laxed slightly at this. "You have her (character, of course. Mr*. Cooper?" ( "From her last mistress personally. I saw her myself nnd said how particu lar you were, madam.” answered the hous-ekeeper. telling the He with the utmost coolness. "Hhe was three years In her last place." "Very well.
