"If I know iinyihiii!.'. I would tell it,
whatever happened," lie cried, sud
denly. "It is not fair that I should
have to suffer like this!"
Now this speech was perplexing to
her listener, but she would give uo
explanation of It. She only told bim
that she wanted time to think, to con

In llie week which followed Nell's
departure for London the spirits of her
undo declined day by day until the
red-faced, genial innkeeper had be
come little more than the shadow of
his former self.
He missed his niece more than he
would admit even to himself. And al
though it is true that liis mind had be
come tainted with suspicion of her
I rill li and honesty, he would have been
'.I'.idy and w illi.c; to receive her back
and to fore-l liv doubts w hich 1c

Clifford coin rolled the anger he felt,
since au exhibition of it would only
have dosed the ileieclive's lips more
lightly.
"1 should like you lo make an experi
ment, though," said he. "Will you
make it on my aceoiiuiV I want it
very well done, no mailer what it
costs."

Clifford found a card, and gave it lo
the detective.
'There is my address." said he. "I
rely upon you lo do your best."
"And yon won't be dissuaded, sir,
from a useless expense':"
"No."
Hefore (key parted, ClitTord and the
detective had arranged between them
the details of a little plot which Clif
ford thought would ccriaiuly snll'ue
to excite llie iippetile of the astute hut
daring thief who was a' the bottom
of all the mischief.
In the week following Clifford's de
parture, therefore, there arrived iit
the I'dile Lion a rough looking person
wlio gave himself mil as a successful
emigrant, who had rciumcd lo his na
tive hind with his pockets full of
money. The man stayed at th" inn
for several days, boasted openly in Un
bar of his luck, sh'iwoil the results of
il in lavish "mating" and iu the ap
parently careless exhibition of hand
fills of gold.
Hut it was all in vain Hemming
liiid to report to Clifford, not without
secret triumph, thai the "wealthy emi
grant" had been allowed, after a pro
longed stay, to leave the inn wiilunit
having received a vi.-ii from the mid
night thief. Cliffoid was mm h cling

March, ou a Mustering, stormy morn
ing, thai Noll Claris. In p resolution
broken down by a pathetic appeal
from her uncle, came back lo Stroan.
licopge Claris met his niece at the
station, ati.l each was shocked at the

seemed to have lost half l.i r beamy;
her cheeks had lost their roundness
which had been one of her greatest
eh.'irins.
"ili, uncle!" she cried softly, when
she had received his silent ki-s ou her
forehead, "you don't look the same !

"I'nele, I like him too much," an

been iu the old time, now. he should
have had it quickly enough. Hut un

the ruin of everything to us all. is !

"I lisgrace. Nell!" echoed lieorge Cla- j
ris in a low voice. "Hon't say that, j
child, don't say that." I
lu this lone the girl detected all tin! j
'motions which th" story and the ru
mors about it had set stirring iu her
i.in ie's simple mind. She felt keenly
liie a fleet ion, the doubt, the auger,
which had tortured him timing the
long weeks of ihe wilt.er. She gave
i sigh, and tucking her hand under
his arm, whispered:
"We won't siiv disgrace, then, but

"Aye, thill's better, dear," agreed tho
poor fellow mournfully.
