we should have called in Dr. Hath

hut Dick was taken rather suddenly
at the cluu. and Dr. Singleton being
on hand attended him—indeed,
brought him hom«- in his motor---so.

“Quite so Uni! Yes! *>f course.

Well born and well bred beyond thy
shadow of a doubt."
"Well-to-do?”
“lixtremely. Keeps three uoters
and paid, i have been told, something
like 2,000 pounds for his practice.”
"Hum-m-m! Like him?"
Altogether Charming.
"Very much, indeed. He is. in fact,
ore of the most genial, cordial, alto
gether charming men 1 have evqr met
in my life.”
Ui, i .id fleck, stroking his
chin. “I never care for ‘charming’
men myself, but. of course, • * *
Juit so! just so! It never does to
jump to conclusions. And what, may
1 ask, does this ’charming* young doc
tor say is the nature of your soli’s

There was a banquet on at the club
on the night my son was . ! .r.ed. Ther«
were lobster outlets and peach souffk
and NeapollTan cream on Lie menu,
and dear Dick is passionately fond of
all three; uo of course—”
“Oh. yes—good Lord, yes! Of
course!” interpostil Clcek. “That
puts quite another complexion on the
matter. One more question if you
please. Lady Jennifer, and then if you
ui accept a scat in Mr. Narkom’s
limousine, we three will be off to your
residence as quickly as possible." He
took out his notebook, doubled back
the covers and poi>ed a pencil over
i blank page. “Tell me something,
please.’’ he added serenely*. "How
many fiats are there beside your own

"And the one immediately above?"
"Major ami Mrs. Penvarney—they

“Oh, quite old—quite, hi the neigh

formerly an eminent q. C„ 1 believe—
In her late Majesty’s time—but has
long since retired, of course.”
r T'>HE curious one-sided smile trav-
I eleti up Cleek’s cheek, hovered
there for a moment and then
slid down and was gone. lie said
nothing, however; merely went on
writing for a time—halting just once
to shrill forth—without looking up—a
peculiar whistle that was like the no‘e
of a frightened blackbird, and then
going on with his scribbling at a rapid
rate. He had covered one side of th?
leaf and was close to the bottom >f
the other when Dollops put in an ip-
pea run ee.
Half a Minute, My Lad.
“Half a minute, my lad.” said Cleek,
without looking up; then, a few mo
ments later, he gave the pencil a swift
stroke across the paper, tore out the
written leaf, doubled it and oeckonel
Dollops forward.
"Attend to that." he said, putting it
into tin boy’s hand; "and reporn
ready for duty. In the neighborhood
of Crown Mansions, Holland Park, as
soon as possible. I needn’t tell you
not to advertise the fact that you're
loitering about for a purpose. That’s
all. Cut along."*
"Right you are. Gtiv’ner. Hero's
where I do a bunk,’ a:- the sailor said
to the for’cas’l,” replied Dollops; then
hitched up his trousers and was gone
like a shot.
!• ive minutes later. Lady Jennifer
and net* two companions left *ne
bloom-crowded nursery, passed
through the little shop and entered
th< waiting limousine; and directly
the door had closed upon them the
car swung out into the roadway* and
head on. in the direction of Bays-
water—took the distance between
Chiswick and Holland park at a 110-
mile clip.
ute or two later that they rounded the
last turning and came in sight of the
palace. It was a substantial but rath
er ornate building, standing some dis
tance back from the pavement, a low
wall, behind which was a high hedge,
shutting it off from the line of traffic,
and a gate at either end giving ingress
to and egress from the semi-circular
driveway which led to and from the
imposing doorway. And Cleek—en
tering with the others through one of
these gates—had but just time re
mark that low doorstep, balustrade
and flower urns all were of white
marble, when, with a warning “Honk-
honk!’’ a motor horn sounded and
swung in at the other gate, and glided
noiselessly up the curve of the drive
way and halted at the building’s door.
A Liveried Chauffeur.
III.
Wi en close to that select part of
Holland Park where Crown Mansions
and similar imposing buildings stand,
the car halted and for reasons which
must be obvious to all—its occupanrs
decided to make the remainder of the
journey afoot. It was perhaps a min-
In the driver’s seat of this elabo
rate conveyance sat a liveried chauf
feur—young, alert, sharp-eyed ind
bright-faced—and beside him, arrayed
In livery that matched his own to «\
half, there was a grave, sedate, elder
ly man with a bag on his knees and
both hands folded placidly over it. He
rose and alighted, this second man,
and went round and opened the vehi
cle’s door as it stopped, and Lady Jen
nifer had no more than said, “It is
Dr. Singleton’s motor! How glad I am
to get back in time." when there is
sued from that door—or. rather,
jumped down from It in an excess of
animal spirits—as bonny a specimen
of a healthy, happy, care-free young
Briton as one might hope to see.
He was about to spring up the step
and run indoors when he caught sight
of Lady Jennifer, but instantly al
tered his intention and. brushing
aside the elderly man with the bag,
faced round and hurried to her.
"I say, lam glad you’ve come back
at last, Lady Jennifer—I’ve had no
end of a rough time of it since you’ve
been gone," he said, with a bright,
breezy laugh. “Who the dickens
have you got sitting with Dick? The j
beggars wouldn't let me in when I 1
made my regulation call this after
noon. Old Dick, he was in a wax
too! I could hear him giving them
jip for not opening the door; but they
said yould give them orders not to,
so it was no go. What in the world
was that for?" i
