"I had never even hoped to see any oi the tamily here again.” Gertrude's eyes opene'd widely at the sound of her name; but Lady Fielder: made a. gesture for silence. One or two of the old serVants who had been there at the time of Sir Karl’s disappearance were equally 'deâ€" lighted to see their master’s daugh- ter. Gertrude would have taken up her residence at Scarsdale, for she longed to be alone; but Lady Field- - would not hear of such a thing. A faint rumor had spread through the county that Sir Karl’s daughter, young as she was, had returned to the old home, because she was not satisfied with regard to her father’s late; that she had refused to believe that he had voluntarily left his home and his wife. and that she was now staying under Lady Fielden’s roof for the express purpose of mafi- hg inquiries. Gertrude spent day after day in the old house at Scarsdalo, quwtloning tho housekeeper until she know every Mail connected with Sir Karl's dis- moe far better even than her In that; she spent hours in the rooms Mt had been her father's, trying to Mn. from his surroundings what. is In! been like.

She had steeped her mind, tholgfia, and senses, in this story of 6 past. in this knotted mystery, which she had set herself to unravel. Her face always Were the preoccupied expression of one whose thoughts are seldom with the pra- ent. If she could, she Would have given her life to have proved her fa.- ther’o innocence. People spoke of her with tears in their eyu. and said she had a. golden heart. The consultation took place, in LI.- 3y Fielden'a boudoir. ___-__1- $- m n “a course, the first shall we roceed? ”Send or one . hglp us; those 111 things that neve; 01”," said Lord "I agree With 2 very Wis. thing “It seems a puzzle 'to me.” laid Lord Rhysworth. “To put our task into plain English, we want to know the best plan for finding a lost man â€"â€"one man lost in this great wide world. It seems a. difficult mission. but we have much to encourage us. We can send to Scotland Yard for one or two of its cleverest detectives; we have steam and electricity; we have, aboVe :11 other things, the love of a, brave and devoted deughter to help us. Now. as s matter of course, the first question in, How shall we proceed?" - --. .. 7A; ru'de. Then Ledy Fiel'den objectedâ€" “A detective Was employed at the fine, but he could make nothing out. the case._'f "Perhaps we my obtain the ser- vices at one with more Erains," said Lord Rhysworth, “in any case, we can but try.

So it was agre that the first thing to be done was to lend to Scotland Yard for one of the eblest men in .the police force. Gertrude gnve e. sigh of relief.

I have been told that. no matter where a person goes, ho is sure to meet some “We shall havo difficulties enough, but we must not lot them discourage us," add Lord Fielden; “indeed, my idea is that nothing in life is worth doing, unless there are plenty of ob- stacles to be overcome. I like meet- ing them as if they were so many enemies, and conquering them one af- ter another." Ho listened attentively while Lord Rhysworth gave him the particulars or the bamnet’s disappearance. Mr. Shaw looked at it long and thoughtfully. "I should say mysofi," Mr. Shaw marked then, “that the reason my conirero failed was because he ‘did not know the whole of the details.

It should be with a. detective officer as with a doctorâ€"nothing should be kept. from him." The letters that her mother bald held so long were placed in his hands, and he seemed to weigh every worn, as he read them. Then he was silent for some few minutes. after which the oracle spoke. “My opinion is that it all rests with the lady, he sai'd, slowly. in. he Knows. I! that be true, sure,L 11 to find the being one loves cannot b. so very dimcult a. task." He was rewarded by a. grateful look from Gertrude’s blue eyes. After a. few more words, the council for that day en'de'd. It met in more solemn conclave four days afterWard, and Mr. Shaw, the detective, was at the head of it -â€"a keen, thoughtful man, with bril- liant eyesâ€"eyes that, Harry declar- ed, appeared as thOugh they could see through a. stone Wall. He was quiet and calm, but with the keen inâ€" stinct of his profession so complete- ly developed, that it was wonderful with what sagacity he followed the slightest clew, how he studied min- ute details, how he gave importance to events that had been considered trivial. He had successfully conduct- ed some most intricate criminal cas- OI. In short, he was a. wonderful man, and it augure'd in for some one when he said that he Was ”not set- isfled." “Nothing shall be kept from you," said Gertrude, promptly. “The Squire, my dear mother’s father, who would have been an important wit- ness, is dead.

Who can tell what shape or term her vengeance took?” Gertrude listened with wide open IM- “I should lay myself,” continued Mr. Shaw, “that the quickest and bat way of learning the gentleman's fate is to search for the lady.” "To search for the lady!" they ro- rww‘" "Yea.

There was therefore no intelligence to be gained from that quarter; nor was there in- 'deed from uny other. Yet Gertrude'e brave young heart never quaile‘d. Do- lores wrote, implorlng her' to come back, and give up what was after all but a chimera, a fancy, a will-o'-the- wisp, a. delusion that would wear away her heart and life.

":Wemust be patient," said Lord Fielden. The next thing was to send all the new advertisement. In 'due course there came many answers; but they all bore but little upon the matter in hand. Lord Flel'den's own idea was that Lolahad taken refuge in France; it was most probable for many reasons. and he spent some weeks in Paris. The Paris officials began to grow in- terested in the search; even the Rus- sian detective service had been lrawn into the business; and no news that the telegraphic wires could have flashed from one end of the world to the other would have giVen yeater satisfaction than the intelligence that. living or dead. something was known 01‘ Lola de Ferras. réétion were uselegs, It was almost pitiful to see how Gertrude and Lord Fielden watch“ the postâ€"tho slckness of hope defer. red indeed made the young girl's heart sink. One morning a whole bundle o! lettorl came; none of them contained any news or particular in- terest, but they occupied considerable time in the reading and answering. , Then Lord Fielden had another idea,- he believed that it Was very probable she would be round in none religious house, in one of those initi- tutions where wearied hearts find rest. So in England and France the strong em of the law was brought into force; but the search in this i!!- reCtion was equally futile. The dark. beautiful face which had brought ruin end desolation to Sou-edele remained undiscovered. "There is an end to everything, Gertrude,” he replied, thinking to himself that the one exception was his own great love for her. There could never be my end to thatâ€"it was impossible. “I wonder,” she continued. "what I shall have to fill my life and to in- terest me when this in over. I shall be quite lost.

"I wonder, Lord Fielden," laid Gertrude, when the last env elopo was directed. “if over there will be an 9nd to this quwt of mine?" "Whatia it?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the spreading beeches. "Wo- men's rights?" “Women’s rights in one sense at the wor’d, Gertrude," he replied. “do- cidedly not in the other.
