' I--I have something Jo tell you, Felix, something which I ought, but am exceedingly .loth, to ex- plain. I hardly know the best way to part with it." "Then keep it to yourself," Felix re- turned equably, holding a light to his Pipe and watching the tobacco ignite; "if it's so infernally unpalatable, bet- ter postpone it, Jack. In point of fact, I am in possession of quite as mueh stress and anxiety as I can 4d} gest at present." "I can't very well do that; it's about Farley." Felix looked up sharply, lowered his eyes, blew out: the light, and looked |. up again with a straight compelling glance. "You have something to tell me about Farley, something disagreeable, according to your preface. Is that why he cleared out in such a burry?" "Scarcely, he had no idea I should tell you; to be correct, he is not aware I am in receipt of this piece of infor- mation." "How did you come by it? Who has beeen at the pains to malign him?" Agnes was still seated at the bre#k- fast table behind the armchair. At the squire's question she twisted round and shook a warning finger at the doc- tor, accompanied by a look at once so pleading, so full of undefined dread, that Hunter felt bound to leave her in the background. He must perforce divulge the truth on his own account in the least offensive vocabulary, In the happiest, in the most sympathetic manner at his command. : "No one has maligned him, The person from whom I heard the story wishes him well, and would rather you were not told." "Then 1 think you are decidedly offi- clous, Jack. Why are you so zealous that I should hear this slander?" "It's not slander!" "What is it then?" "I don't know. It's--the fact is, Far ley is a bit of a fraud, he--he--" "One moment, Jack!" and Felix held up his hand; "you say Farley is not aware you know this thing?" "] am certain he has no idea that 1 know it." "In that case it is hitting from be- hind, stabbing him in the dark, and I refuse to hear him traduced. I refuse to hear anything you' have to say against him unless he is here to de fend himself." 1 "Nonsense, Felix; you must hear this; you must." "Il won't. 'I won't be made uncom- fortable. Besides, whatever there is to hear- I would rather he told me himself" i : 'gut /you can't ask him this; Felix. It's a durious affair; quite out of the ordinary run of events. You can't go to Farley about it. He would ten times rather I told you." "Who else knows of this precious affair besides yourself--anyone?" Hunter hesitated, and his eyes in- advertently wandered to Agnes. "Oh, Agnes does," Felix exclaimed decisively; "Agnes knows. Well, come, it can's be very bad if Agnes Knows." . "1 did not say it was bad, I sald curious, unusual; a circumstance bet: ter not mentioned to Farley. A third party's intervention is the right meth- od to employ In. this case." "Why need I hear it at all? Look here, Jack,' he sald, rising and lay'ing his pipe on the mantelpiece, a worried look coming 'into his pale face, "why need I be troubled with this curious, unusual cireumstance, which you own {s not bad and therefore not criminal? Why should I be made acquainted with anything foolish the boy has done? Farley is my friend, my familiar friend, I--in years the lad is younger than I, but that makes no difference, becayse in brain craft he is older, far ahead of me. He suits me in every way, he is ready with his tongue, ready with his gun, he's willing to be &t my beck and call, he amuses me, he bears with me, he puts up with my beastly obstinacy and takes things as they come. We've had a hundred ar guments, I've been in the wrong a "times, but 1 never rememper serting his opinion when he knew and I knew he was in the right--the dear he tried not to let me know it. He's such a gentle, docile chap, only once be refused .to comply with my wishes; you rember, Jack, the afternoon I wanted him to go back to town he refused, because I was not sure till then he--are you surprised, Jack, that I--like him, that I can't hear to hear anything said against him; or anyone try to come between us? You knbw the life I've lived, the solitary life spent mostly out of doors with the wind, the trees, the" fields, for company; you can't be surprised 1 should cling to Farley, he derfully ."

Come, is it worth while to strive to implant distrust, to tax my concerning ley's 'when I would far rather be blissfully ignorant of them? Is it ne cessary, Jack? "It is , and it's cruel kingd- bush.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked sharply. "My dear Felix! Don't you see; hasn't it dawned 'on you yet? Thé name is not Paul Farley, it is Pauline Jervois--it's not a man--it's & WoO man!" . Felix stepped back on to the fender and threw up his hand as if to ward off an unexpected blow. "No, no, ho," he exclaimed, white and dazed; "Jack, not that; anything but that. For heaven's sake, don't attempt to palm off on me & horrible canard like that! Tt's--it's a black jie!" he shouted excitedly.

I'am sorry, 'F tre mendously sorry, to have been com: pelled to tell you this, 1am 8 the truth," he sald earnestly, laying a sympathetic pressure on the squires arm, "and you will believe 'me, be cause if you think a moment, if you cast your mind back over the last four months, every incomprehensible thing in connection with Farley goes to prove that it is true."

The Wife of His Bosom R was Jate in the afternoon, and snowing. Johnson, the friendly walter who had assisted Paul to eatch mail train to Weyberne, stood in the Hall "of "fife "Pendennis," watching through the half-glass door the slow, feathery swirl of flakes. He was mus ing upon the winter's early advance, when a man 'of fine physique passed . The s!

He had not ordered » mouthful of victuals that day, nor the previous one. The table was strewn from end to end with papers, all kinds of litters, and the gentleman said he had no room, and no time for meals but*he had disposed of several cups of tea and innumerable cigarettes The gentleman had been much upse' by.a telegram advising him' of the ex pected death of a friend. He, John sori, did not think the .riend had died but Mr. Fariey had returned to town very queer, very shaky, and, he con sidered, very {'l, with a cut on hie forehead and sore of the flash shot from his thumb, which he had himsel! dressed. having been in the army and an orderly in the military wards Therefore, if the gentleman to Whon he was speaking were a friend of Mr Farley's, he, Johnson, thought it would be wise to persuade Mr .Farley to se a medical man, and also to take some thing in the form of nourishment--h¢ was glad to say, as luck would hav ft--there wes soup going at six. "l am a friend, a very great friend of Mr. Farley's, and if you will show me his rocia'1 will undertake to set after him."

The room was in semi-darkness and comfortably warm still, though the fire had burned low. The couch stood be tween the fireplace and the table, and Paul lay there asleeep, the wounded hand in a black silk sling, and the other tucked under hie head. Felix tip-toed across the room and bent ove: the couch. Paul awake, alert, his nerves on the stretch, looking out for danger slg pals, and Paul asleep, unconscious of criticism, the muscles of his face re laxed, the emaciation, the weariness the hollows beneath his eyes plainly visible; were totally different pergons Felix had no idea he was so thin, so worn, 80 clearly, unmistakably, ill, and "awhile back, a month, sure, he was fairly plump and looked so uncommon ly well. This was a revelation; Felix was gaining an Insight into what Far ley had suffered, what he had endured while unswervingly prosecuting the physical and mental: struggle he had waged in order to attain his doubiful inglorious ends. Presently, he drop ped ou one knee and looked more closely at the careworn face. Paul was so still, preternaturally still scarcely breathing, that--a wave of sickening fear swept over him--great heavens! was the prize to be snatched from him within an afe of his grasp? The steady gaze, the soul's yearning, influenced the sleeper; le stirred, the heavy eyélids lifted, and the great dark eyes were fixed ou the squires face. "Hello, Farley!" he said, suddenly; "what cheer?" Paul turned his feet to the floor, sat up, and stared at his visitor. "Have you come to stop here?" he asked anxiously, a hunted expression in his eyes. "No, not ere," Felix returned quick- ly, now perfectly able to interpret the look that puzzled him at times; "I'm on the other side, juat down the street, | you know, Paul, at the Friar's Heel. I wanted to see Hare, and I wanted to see you. 1 just gave Austin a look, set my traps down yonder, had a brush up, and stepped over 'here to ask you to come back and have a bit of dinner with me. There's turtle soup, red mul let, a broiled fowl, and a bottle of Due de Marne, '71 vintage, to wash it down --does the menu appeal to you?" Paul crossed his legs, leaned back and smiled. "You are very kind," he szid, grate fully, "very kind; but I don't feel at all peckish; in fact, I am off my feed, and," nodding at the litter on the table, "1 have as much as I can get through with. to-night.' a "What have you had to eat to-day?" Felix asked, seating himself on the couch and ignoring the table. "To eat? Oh, I don't know, any- thing Josnson likes to bring; I have no particular appetite." "What ig it you are doing?" glane- ing at the heterogeneous mass of pa- pers on the table. "Odds and ends. There are somé communications from Wiseman con- cerning that estimate, three of Sir Thomas's speeches, some articles of my own, a greek examination paper for 'Tom Hargrave, and one or two more things of a similar character."
