In these circumstances it is scarcely to be wondered at that Mr. Carmody’s Te was not tranquil. To one who, like himself, had lmed the advantage of hearing the views of the Malloy family on the virtues of knockout drops there could be no doubt as to what had hap- ned. John, suspecting nothing, must ave allowed himself to be lured into the trap. and by this time the heirlooms of Rudge Hall were probably in London. Having breakfasted, Mr. Carmody. who had haunted the stable vard till midnight, went there again in the faint hope of finding that his nephew had returned. But John's room was empty. Mr. Carmody wandered out into the grounds and paced the gravel paths in growing desolation of soul. Then he sought refuge in_ his study. It was there, about an hour later, that John found him, Mr. Carmod; first emotion on be- holding his long-lost nephew was one of ecstatic relief. | “John,” he cried Then, chilling his_enthusiasm, came the thought that there might be no occasion for joy in this return.
