CHAPTER (KIV <XContinued) "YOU KNOW WHO KILLED HER" Robert Montalban was silent for a full minute, aâ€"glightrueful smile touchâ€" ing his Then he said to Severn slowly: "I see. Yes I do see.~ A very proper basis for investigation, too, selfâ€" defence. But surely it won‘t be so difâ€" ficult to disentangle yourself from this â€"exâ€"partner of Mailia‘s?" ~*"*Unfortunately," said Severn, "I was in France at the time. Worse still, I left Paris the day after the pair of swindlers disappeared. All depends on the memory of the staff at the penâ€" sion where I stayed, and the hotel where my opposite number apparently stayed with Mailia. I don‘t place absoâ€" lute reliance on my photographâ€"nor even on my face. Innocent people have been known to be singled out from identity parades before. Well, are you satisfied I have a reason for playing detective?" "Yes," said Severn, "you did tel haven‘t talked about it, beci dislike the paraphernalia of sym I‘ve known for some time tha spine was steadily getting worse a year or possibly two years, I be doomed to lie on my back f« rest of my natural life,. I‘m not to walit the issue. Leonard ha:s m ethat this operation may gi\ back at least a part of my pt equipment more or less intact. _ even walk straight." His face was contorted by a such as Moliy had never seen bitter, and yet full of a dreadfi mour. ‘"But, of course, he‘s als me that I may die under trea! I‘m choosing the gamble. What you have done?" "The same." said Severn flatly ‘"‘The same," said Molly, "I hop« I can‘t help wondering. I‘m hun u*‘*My dear man! I was jealous for my own family skeletons, that‘s all. Go ahead with your defences. He added, with some anxiety: ‘"By the way, you won‘t let Grandfather feel too deserted will you? He depends on you so abâ€" solutely." "Don‘t worry!" said Severn. "I‘ve no intention of leaving him. I haven‘t consulted Molly on the point, but if I know her she won‘t grudge a short wait to keep him happy. After all, it can‘t be so terribly long now." "My sympathy for whoever killed Mailia," said Severn drily, "is so proâ€" found that only the consideration of my own life can possibly induce me to do anthing against his interests." *Very well put! Shall we go back now? I have a hankering for one more plunge before tea,. I never can resist the lake. It‘s the one element in which I‘m still at home. "He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "I like to show off. Who doesn‘t?" ‘They were on the crest of the bridge when he stopped short leaning upon his hands on the low balustrade to look down into the deep water expandâ€" ingsuddenly fanwise into the lake from under the single arch. "I have problen present," said Rot templative voice. morrowâ€"for anot rence knew about "I should call that an excellent reaâ€" son," admitted Robert, the wry smile deepening. He turned his head and looked at Molly. ‘"And Miss Balcon? What are her rights? Am I to suppose that she‘s involved too?" ~‘There was a moment of silence while Robert sat looking at them both in astonishment, and the quality of his smile changed. "It‘s incredible, I know butâ€"I‘d never thought of that. I can‘t imagine why. Of course, that let‘s you in, Nurse, May I congratulate you both?" thanked him as one person, gravely. "Well," said Severn. . ‘Are we justiâ€" fled?" ‘*"*No." said Robert. "It can‘t be long." He rose holding by the arm of the seat to lever himself up. "I‘m glad you told me all this. And now, shall I tell you something? I admit everything you‘ve said:;: you make a reasonable, a conâ€" vincing and I know, a most sincere case. But it brings you to a wrong conclusion. My father did not kill Mailia." He turned his head, and looked at them with a smile. "I don‘t ask you to believe it, just to know that I believe it, and perhaps to bear it in mnid. That‘s all. You anything about it untilâ€"unless yoil‘tÂ¥#(actively threatened, Lawrence?". u: ""Indirectly. yes," It was Molly who answered him, choosing her words with ac dogged deliberation. She put her hand upon Severn‘s where it lay idly upon the rough stone of the seat. "Lawâ€" rence and I are going to be married." It was the first time she had thought of it in those terms, and she felt her heart turn in her; but it was said and said calmly, and she knew that it was true. ©MAILIA DAUNT: Met her death at Montalban in mysterious circumstances LAWRENCE SEVERN: Secretaryâ€" companion to the veteran Sir John.

K. ® Molly walked a little way down the drive after the car had departed, and met Severn in the yew walk. "Lawrence," said Molly, holding him by the lapels "do you believe Robert will be back for her birthdayâ€"or any other time?" ‘My dear, your guess is as good as mine. Is it important? I mean, of course, apart from your personal liking for him. Is it important that you should knowâ€"now?" She turned her head away. "Perhaps it doesn‘t matter.. But I wish I knew." Severn took her by the shoulders and turned her round towards him." Her face was strained and pale, but her eyes met his straightly. "Molly, there‘s something on your that doesn‘t go in a court of law. It isn‘t any use telling youâ€"and I can‘t bear to tell youâ€"â€"" "I won‘t ask you. Not yet. But vou‘ll tell me when yvou can." "I want you . both, if you will, to come and see me at Ashurst the day after toâ€" morrow. Better come in the morning. Will you do that?" mind.." She made nq denial. "I wish you‘d tell me what it w that dawned on you so suddenly y terday, Surely I have rights in yo confidence." Theyâ€" waited. It was apparent that his mind wavered upon a confidence uncertain whether to take one way or the other. Then he smiled, and the tension of his face was eased. ‘"‘Things may look so much clearer then. I hope sc, I think so. Well, I‘m going in again." a Robert let fall the â€"wrap from his shoulders. ‘"Take it round and drop it on top of the steps will you, Lawrence. Why should I walk all that way? . . . Lend me your shoulder for a moment will you? The rail‘s a thought high for Ssevern set his sturdy shoulder under the outstretched hand, and lifted the slight weight to the balustrade with ease. Robert stood, misshapen but capable, poised upon curved feet which gripped the stone hard. "He‘s uncanny," said Severn, watchâ€" ing her grave face as her glance rose slowly from KRobert‘s head, momenâ€" tarily motionless near the shalows, to the front of the house, settled with a sudden intelligence upon the window which had been Mailia‘s. Higher still she looked, and her eyes were as sudâ€" denly turned away. "What is it?" asked Severn instantly ‘Nothing " she said. Her voice was shaken by an uncontrollable tremor of excitement. Cleone said her careless farewell to Robert from within the house, and went on arranging fresh flowers in the vases in the hall; but Mrs. Montalban came out with her son to the car, and kissed him before he got in. A brief, cool kiss it was, but from that selfâ€" contained, selfâ€"sufficient woman it was a concession Molly had not expected. "Goodâ€"bye, Robert," said his mother. "Do try and be back in time for my birthday, won‘t you?" Molly walked a little way down the drive after the car had departed, and "I think not! Something happened to you then. What was it?" He took her by the shoulders. *"Molly, you must tell me. You thought you had disâ€" covered something. Didn‘t you? Didn‘t you? You thought you had seen through the Mailia mystery. Didn‘t you? Do you really believe you can be shaken like that, and I not know?" "Oh, yesâ€"â€" Butâ€"â€" There isn‘t anything, you see. It‘s just something I knowâ€"as if I‘d seen it happen. But He dived. It was sudden, and silent, and most fleet. It wia a dive so eerie that it made Molly look over the rail and down to the lake in search of the vanished body. She could not see him. The surface did not shake. When she raised her head Robert was just breakâ€" ing surface on the distant edge of the lake, some way from them. "And then you had an idea. You knew suddenlyâ€"am I right I wonâ€" der?â€"you knew suddenly who killed herâ€"â€"" (Molly closed her eyes. "And how she was killed. Didn‘t you? Didn‘t you, Molly?" She said: "Oh, Lawrence, Lawrence â€"â€"" and suddenly she began to cry wih hard, unaccustomed astonished sobs, burying her face in his shoulder. "Is he really running a great risk? He believes he is, you know." ‘"As a matter of fact the chances are about even." Of course," said Severn,. "We shall be glad to." She put up her hand, and touched him beseechingly, and even the hand was trembling. "Please, Lawrence! Don‘t ask me. I can‘t tell youâ€"â€"â€"" "Then you do admit there was someâ€" thing to tell? What did you see when you looked up then at Mailia‘s winâ€" dow?" ZEROQ HOUKR It was afternoon when Robert left the house for the hospital Before the car drew away from the terrace Molly made an opportunity to ask Dr. Leoâ€" nard aside: R ‘Nothing but the face of the house.

Robert raised himself on one elbow. He braced himself visibly, squaring his shoulders back into the pillow. The lines of his face seemed to sharpen and grow taut, and his eyes halfâ€"closed. "I want ta talk about the Montalban mystery. The notorious Montalban mystery! â€" Just for a little while â€" it won‘t take long. And then I‘m afraid I‘ll have to turn you out and go and have an argument with my destiny." (To be Concluded). In the issue of The Advance of Mar. 22nd, 1922, there was much attention given to hockey. The hockey fans in Timmins thought this particular time of year with hockey over for the season as the right time in which to plan for the next season‘s hockey. Accordingly there was a big attendance and much interest at the annual meeting of the Hockey Club. (Speaking of this annual meeting, The Advance said:â€" ‘"Thk gathering of the hockey fans at the council chamber on Monday evening went on record as very strongly in fayâ€" our of the best possible brand of Senâ€" ior hockey for the camp next season. A suggestion that perhaps on account of the expense and other difficulties it might be well to try out local hockey next season instead of the Senior N. O.H.A. variety met with little favour from the big crowd present. In openâ€" ing the meeting Dr. R. H. Brown, presâ€" ident of the Porcupine Hockey Club, remarked on the large attendance which was in pleasing contrast to a years ago when only five or six turned out to the annual meeting. The finanâ€" cilal report for the season as read by the treasurer, Mr. T. M. White, was a very satisfactory and creditable one when the conditions are considered." Dr. McInnis, J. W. Reed, Chief Borâ€" land, Jos. Everard, A. Brazeau, H. G. Laidlaw, W H. Wylie,<W. R. Dodge, J. Monoghan, P. Macaulay and others spoke on hockey affairs. Chief Borâ€" land made a hit when he said admissâ€" ion prices had been kept too high durâ€" ing the season then closing.

The Rabbi held that the war might be won either by natural means or by a miracle, "And what are the natural â€" means?" asked Sikorski. "Since our cause is just," said the Rabbi, "it would be natural to expect the intervention of Providence on our side." "Well," said Sikorski, "if Proâ€" vidential intervention is the natural way of achieving victory, how would it be won by a miracle?"
