Had a. bomb burst in the room it might have caused more alarm, but it could scarcely have been the cause or more astonishment than was the Major's sudden announcement. It was half an hour later. The first access of wonder had in some measure subsided. There had been queStion and answer on both sides. The Major toid how. in the first place, he had been struck by Hermia’s extraordinary like: ness to the miniature in his possexion. and. in the second. by her surname (his son's full name had been Warren Riv-ens Strickland) : and how, when he found that only that very day she had been to Broome to seek an inter View with Miss Pengarvon. he had at once come to the conciusion that it was not possible that she could be anyone other than the granddaughter he had sought for so long a time, but had hitherto sought in vain. -._J-_.e h... h.

Unfortunately Isabel chose to believe the woman’s tale. so plausibly was it told. and backed up by such apparent proots : and without waiting to question Warren. she at once quitted her lodgings. taking her child with hex-rand leaving behind her a. note in which she told her husband that she had left him forever and the reason why. and begging or him. it he had any love for her still left, to make no attempt to follow her.

At length the day came when he drew his last sovereign out at the bank. yet even then lacked the 31mg“! of mind to put his foot down and say resolutely to hint-if: "Not a single step further will I advance on the pleasant but delusive path which has already led me to the brink of ruin." Instead of that. he began to borrow money here and there among his many friends and acquaintances. but cthletly from Mr. 'Howes. Mr. Hon-es was a. bachelor and n thriLty man to boot. and had a banking account of Ms own. He made no dom-ur about lend- ing Frank a few pounds now and again. being careful to take his 1.0.1'. in return.

It is to be said in his favor that. although he sometimes wondered why Frank stood in need of such frequent loans. he had not the remotest suspicion of the purpose to whinh the money was really put. Since Mr. Avison had spoken to him. Bank had to all seem- ing developed into one the most sober and steady-going ~.' bank of- ficials. As already stat .1. all his gambling was done at Duiminster.
