"Not at all," said Varney, unblush- ingly--he knew that his fritnd was chaffing him--"1I've got a little capital, you know; my mother's meney didn't go in the smash. Mr. Davis says that with a few more glass-houses for the pines, and ay energetic manager 10 look after them, the trade "with the Covent Garden can be worked up in a féw years to something pretty big.

What do you think of it?" > "When is the wedding?' was Scar borough's answer. Varney laughed. "You've put your finger on the weak #pot," he said. "We haven't settled that vet, because we didn't feel justified in doing so without consulting Muriel on the sub- ject first.

"He has swallowed his prejudices, it seems," "Oh, he hadn't any. Curiously enough, I'm rather a faviyite with him, Anyway, he's keen on the scheme; but of course if Muriel says no, it won't come off. That's down in our agree- ment." | "You've got an agredmient alfeady!" "Yes, in black and white. Now, about you, old man? When's your wedding coming off?" "1 don't know," Scarborough.

Varney Volunteers for Seqtry-Go The two voung men went into the venta. An animated discussion, which was in progress betwren the proprie- tor and three men, who were" leaning over the counter, was hroken off sud- dently at their entrance Varney stayed near the door, to watch the street, in case the inn had some other exit, which the man they were seeking might think it prudent to make use of suddenly. Scarborough went to tie counter and asked in Portuguese for the Senhor Munoe! Bernardo, the name which Mona had beén told to use, . One of the loafers laughed, landlord frowned heavily, "The Senor Manoel Bérnagdo," repeated, sullenly. "What , do know of him, Senhor?" "Very little," said Scarborough, smiling. "But I have come to improve my acquaintance. Will you tell me where 1 can find him?" "No; Seirhor." Scarborough shruggéd his shoulders. "Doubtless you have a reason for re- fusing," he said quietly. "I have. A good one," said the Pe: drao, and the loafer who had laughed before did so again. "Theny" said Scarborough, * friend will go upstairs to the room which he hires from you.

He had a dainty stomach, and would not dine on bacal hao and béans as we do. 'I had to buy chickens and fresh meat for him daily," complained the padrae, indig nantly.

"Take us upstairs and show us his room." "Certainly, Senhor, left it. The room it is just as he wad almost cxaet.y as Mona had described it, bare save for a litter of books on the table, and a pile of English newspapers on a chair by the window. But almost us soon as they entered; Varney smothered an exclamation and pointed to a thing that was hanging on a heok behind the door. It was a long blue 'cloak, and near it on another chair was a large stiff hood. Scarborough turned to the padrao. "Did these things belong to Senbor Bernardo " he asked. "No, senhor, tliey are my wife's." "How do they come to be here?" "Senhor Beimardo was interested: in the national costume, and the padrona brought these for him to see. [| do not know why they have ne: been re moved." "How many days ed for them?" "Seven or eight, senhor,' Scarborough turned to Vattiosr and in a low tone of "excitement, said ur English: "We've found: our hooded Phill" And then again in Por- tuguese to the innkeeper; "Did Seahor Bernardo ever wear these?" "The capote and capella?' said the man, laughing. "No; senhor; he would have heen mocked by the chil dren in the streets if he had." "Nevertheless he did," said Scar borough to himself, and then added aloud: "There is one thing more, Does Senht Bernardo speak Portu- guese well?" "Yes, seithor." "Well enough to be mistaken for a native of the islands?" "No, senhor, not well enough for that. When he came to my house firet he knew only his own English tongue, and Spawish, which he said hé had learned to help him in his business in London. But a Portuguese can ufider: stand 3 vish if it is spoken slowly, and can make himself understood in return; sa we were ablg. lo. converse, The Senhor Bernardo is clever, how- ever, and very soon he was able 0 speak Portuguese without making it sound like Spanish; but no, not as well as a native of ihe islands." Scarborough nodded, 'and then held out his hand. "Many thanks for your courtesy, Senhor padrao," he said. "You have helped me more than you know, and I hope you will get your money." The man bowed, with the natural politeness which is instinctive with the landers of the Azores in all ranks of life. . : 'I am happy is it since he hsk- to have 'béen of ser- vice," he said. "If the senhor finds Senhor. Bernardo, perhaps, in the course of conversation on more impor: he will remind him that till unpaid." "I will ir I get the chance," Scarborough, laughing. When they wére in the street again, and ou their way back to Montagu's house, Scarborough said to' Varney: "Now, Phu, you don't understand the lingo, so I shall have to tell you what the padrao and I were talking about. But first--where did you see Gilltes" "In the geyser country, near Pure nas," said Varney. How andy when?" "The day before yesterday. 1 was there with Muriel and her father." He went on (0 explain that Davis and his daughter had taken him to see the geveers of Furnas, which make one of the show places of the island of San Miguel. They had taken food with them, and made a day of it, and it was while they were lunching under a tree by the roadside that Gillies had passed. He was riding a donkey in the uni. versalgfashion of the islands, perched sidewhys, 'and holding on to the cross bars of a great woolen framed sad: dle, which rested on two straw pads: He was dressed like a peasant of the country, in a blue blouse and tight users; and, with a maize husk cigaretie between his lips, and a pillow covered with a plece of bright carpet under him for a seat, he looked the Davis hailed hii. with a "Viva!" as he passed, and was answered with a surly "Bopas dias, tenhor." But there was something in the ent with which the words were ken that suddenly : "That man isn't' what he pretends t6'0¢é. I'm going to speak to him. I'm interested in humau curiosities." He got up and followed the man, and was away for about half an hour. When he returned he told them with great glee that be had met a real orf ginal. . . A "fF thought the fellow wasfA't an Azorean" he sald. "He's a Scotch man, though what he's doing masquer- ading in that getup, I can't imagine. 1 he were an American or a journatis: 1 should say he was studying the habits of the people with a view to writing a book, aud had adopted native costume and ways so #8 to get a closer view; but I don't think he's either. \Whét do you think Le and | have been talk ing about?"

Searborough smiled. He did not think that Mrs. Carrington was like sly to be very dangerons now. By allow- ing her husband's letter to be stolen from her; she had'let the best card in th hole game. slip out of her hands and he therefore rather despised her powers as a fighter. His judgment in the matter was premature, He was to legrn shortly that Rachel Carrington was most of all to be feared at that moment, when to others it appeared that she was wholly out of the game.
