At nine o'clock came an urgent message from Laxton demandins the instant presence of Somerfield and myself at the Lord Nelson. He took us at once to his room. “Mr. Redslade!” said he. A tall man rose from a chair at the table. I started back, unable to suppress a cry. “Cousin John!" Blind as it may seem, we had not | till that moment dreamed of con at dinner that *|The legend of his death had been firmly established in our minds :{But how explanations of the inex- plicable rushed up in a flood. But also, with them, fresh conundrums. Why had he masqueraded as Mr. Richard? Spent three years in prison? Allowed his ancestral es- tate to be dissipated while he had one fortune lying in a Belgian bank, and another in gold and jewels apparently at his hand? And, above all, what was Ver ica’s part in the complication? ) Laxton was speaking: “I've arranged with Mr. Foth bury for Eastley to come to New place at half-past nine and meet us there. I think we shall then get to the bottom of Pell's riddle. But Mr. Grenofen and Mr. Somer- field ought to be put wise to the preliminaries, I think, eh?” “It's a pretty rotten story,” Red- slade objected. “Well, we needn’t drag it out.

Mr. Redslade made a fs night or army, where he struck up a close friendship with Pell. He did not come of age till the war was over. “Then he found himself the owner of an estate so encumbered that he could not keep it up. He got into the hands of the money lenders, and finally he fell to the share of the firm of Smithins. They made an arrangement with him to discharge all the mortgages on Newplace and give him a new one —a real thumper. His lawyers were dead against the arrangement, but the sight of | £10,000 in cash was too much for him. Very soon he couldn’t keep up his interest. Then Smithins jumped on him. “Mr. Redslade was ruined.
