Will you trusL this stone to me, and rely on my doing my best for you? I’ll work like a. slave to get this cleared up ; I will indeed." Blair glanced with dull eyes from the bright young face glowing with generous en- thusiasm. with stubborn determination, to the dark-red stone on which his fate, so he began to think, depended. He hesitated. u u E"I daren’t do anvthiuq with it myself,” he murmured, more to himself than to Ger- ald. “ It; might get me into fresh trouble. The police would think I’d picked it up in some pawnshop, and told this story to put them off the scent. And, after all, it‘ll do no good, I’m sure of it. I’d sooner chuck it intofihe gutter, and be rid of the thing.” “Trus‘é it {:0 me. Whatever it“ miy do, it sha‘n’t get you into fresh trouble, I swear.” He was gaining his end; little by little the old man‘s resistance gwe way, and with- in half an hour of his coming Gerald had the stone safely in his own pocket-hook, and left the house with the stvudfust con- viction that he was on the right track at last. The very suspicion which had caused Mr. Shaw to send the stone to England rather than carry it himself had proved to have a fatally strong foundation, and Ger- ald felt sure that the hopes he had built on this little clue must be equally well ground- ed. ' He asked his way to the nearest police- station, and at once inquired whether it was known that any robbery had been commit- ted lately from the person of Lord Kings» clifl'e, or any of his estabishments. Noah. ing of the kind had been heard of, and on Gerald’s producing the stone and stating whose was the crest, he was advised by the superintendent go whom he was ‘Ealkiug to um I s Eraâ€"fit}; Lord Kingsclifie himself, Binge he made no secret of the fact that the identifi- cation of the stone was matter of impot. tance. _ __ So Gerald, after anotner duty-call at the Oharing Cross Hotel, only to find that Mr. Smith had not arrived yet, went back to his lodgings, and register! the Wish see [nu luusulsa, auu lcululvu I-uv uh... -v .w- Peggy again until he had gone straight to his own room, and written a careful and humble letter to the iormidably wicked GREAT SHORE: CHAPTER XXI. ..

The doctor pronounced Peggy to be suf- fering from the effects of mental shock and over-excitement, and of course prescribed the entire rest it: was impossible for her to take. And he advised her to stay in her room for a. few days, being afraid of fever. Bub Peggy burst into tears, and protested she‘should die if she had to remain by her- self so long, and they had. to give way to her. éhe interrupted him, clinging tightI‘y to his armhandwlooking up as him with a. feverish face. ' ‘ Before she went lap-stairs, however, with Mrs. Walton on due side and Gerald on the other, she was unlucky enough Ato offend again her‘euemy Mr. Hicks, by failing to hear his “Good night, miss,” as he passed her at the foot; of the stairs. So next morning she trotted down-stairs after breakfast. wrnpt up in an old white shawl of Mrs. “’albon's, and looking like a. ghost down on its luck. And she hovered about the sitting-room restlessly until Ger- ald returned from his first visit to Charing Cross Hotel. Then she sat quietly hold- ing his hand, and listening to his account of his walk ; and presently, having passed a. wakeful night, she went to. sleep with her head on his ‘shoulder. He went a second and a. third time that day, as he had made “ I’ll serve them out, with their too-good for-anybody airs,” said the amiable gentle man fio himself ; nindhbeing an acknpyyle lg ed adept at the refined aszement of “ prac- tical joking,” he gave the whole force of his intellect from that moment: to the discovery of some trick which Shou‘nd surpass all his previous feats in the diacomforts it brought upon his victims and the consequent glory in hrought upon himself. ‘ D,ON E. it a. rule to do, to see if Mr. Smith had ar- rived : each time he found on his return that Peggy had yvorked herself'jnto a. $333535] o'f'fiiiifitxefide’to see him again." She 'wixs qujte uncgnscious of the fact, quite inno- cent of the effect her contentment in his society had‘upon Geral . After the horror of her weird stay at “' es 'Bguleaux,"' 'she instinctively, shatteredlin he‘dglth and Sfiikitb 'as she was; took life as a. convalescent ‘doe‘s‘. drifting along in a haze, ‘with'out: glean" thought, understanding little ‘morefthhvh'the immediate present : and in thié ethté ofhody land'mind the sight. the touch of the onc person in the world who had shown her con- ‘stamt sympathy, constant kin’flneas, was to hit ts sunshine to the feeble plent, and water to the parched ear J1. ’ " ' am}, but“, mm wanu u Dun-J nub u, .n..-~-. fl--- fié was in the same house. and asked- him Why he hadn‘t had the sense to say he wan her brother? Didn’t he like her «well- enough to have her for a. sisten? And: Ger. uld had to calm her? by rotes'a ions of brotherly affection, which emade rather awkwardly, the subject was hastily dropped, and the talk turned,again upon Mr. Smith’- continued non-appeamnge, and the obstin- ate silence of Lor'dlegaclifl‘e. So that Gerald alone felt all the'swkwerd- ness of the position. ‘ What would Mr. Beresford say when he found out. as find out he must, that his runs-way clerk was living under the same roof with his runaway daughter 9, He'suggested this view of the matter to Peggy on the third day after her arrival ; but she only laughed and thought it very funny. Then he proposed, in q. roundsbqutmay, that he should find a. lod '- ing in some other house; but at thisf's e begsnto cry, and sobbed out that she didn't wonder thatl ewas growing tired of such dull, society as new. And when poor Qenald, getting V‘erylred and stammering frightful- ly, saig that it W08 not proper for 'a [young lad _.to'_1ive' by herself in a. lodging-house; an thst she ought to try to find out her r1991; er's friends, if she wouldn't go back to her ether, Peggy told him that he Was very "silly. that she wasn't staying byhersclf since I u But no spirit and no affe‘tion could stave off for long the illness which had threatened Peggy.on her arrival in England. On the sixth day miter her coming she broke down, and was forged..to keep in her own room. Then, :there [wasn- eat display of feeling among the other 10 gers in the houseâ€"not yiyympnthy. with the forlorn little stranger, “butnfexeitement lest "it should be some- thing.catnhging.’.’ And in the midst of their selfish fears, 33 usual the good Samaritan turned up in the person of Mrs. Walton, the landlady, an over-dressed, untidy woman, whose worn, rather good-looking face made you curious, suspiciously curious, about her past life, and who nursed the fretful. lonely lgirl. with the the tenderness of a specially- eelected mother. Gerald was inconsolable. He had been so much troubled as to the results of her run: away freak, so much concerned to ‘l‘heep! down his feelings to brotherly warmth, that he had not realized how indispensable to his comfort and content the touch ofthe little fingers, the confiding gaze of the" big clfin eyes, had become. He was forever-up- on the stairs, in the hope of meeting- the landlady or the servant, either going to or coming from her. He" had “to -set himself long distances to walk,“-th‘a.t he might k’eé'p away from the house for a. reasonable” time. In his impatient misery he wrotetoLord Kingsclifl‘e a. ’t‘hir'd "letter, and W;rote.,it so hurriedly that involuntarily he allowed it to grow absolutely-rude. To his great sur-' prise he got. an answer, in the form of a curtlnote from the- Eirl's secretary, com- manding-rather than asking, him to be at Lord Klngsclifie’s house 'in- Piccadilly} at one o’clock on the following day. ' .. Gerald was so anxious. to 'keep the appoint- ment to the minute that he had to walk up and down the street for ei‘cjuarter of an hour before the hour struck : his punctuiliby was rewarded, for no sqoner had he rung the bell than the door flew open, and he was con- ducted at onc'é’into the E “1’s presence. At first he thought He Was aloha in the rather heavily furnished them, to which tall screen’s, and 'dai'k plush ‘bhairs, and much woodwork) gave a. globm'y look. Then a. voice addre‘ésed him from'ouc of a. heap of clothes in 5' deep 'armchaifl'and he discover- ed that a. white-haier gentleman, with a. penetrating fa'ce, thé'outlines of which were still handsdme, was gazing upon him very intem‘ly. “ n :1 And yet; you have some property of mine in your pouseasion 2‘?) “ I think so. I hope you will be kind engugh_t_o sell_ me if it is yours.” , 1 ",7, 2L Gefiuld produced the red stone and gave it to the old gentleman, who turned it over in his hand, and then asked : “ And what did this come out of l r “ A ring, I believe, sir.“ “ Ah 1 Well, yes, this came out of a ring which was once mine, if that is any satisfac- tion to you." o "'And is it too much to ask how it left your possession, sir'?” “ Y;oxir name, isâ€"What? I don’t remem- ber,” said a voicc, which instantly brought into Gerald‘s mind the thought how very like one old man's voice is to another. “Gerald Staunton, sir,” said the young fellow,wonderiug whether that was the right way p0 {address an Earl. ,,,,,L, ,c V “ I’il tell you that, too: It was takenâ€" stolen, if you likeâ€"from me by a member of my own family, thirteen years ago.” Gérald started. Thfis time it oqcured to himhuw Vbry'mgzh one old entleman reaem~ bled another.'not only in v ice, but. in man- “I suppose,” continued Lord Kingsclifle, looking at the young man shrewdly, “ I am non fat wrong in supposing that the person in whose possession this stone was found is ‘ wanted,’ as the police say, for some action or O'her that wouldn’t raise the family prestige?" ” Robbers,” said Gerald- simply, “and conjectured complicity in “murder.” “ Good, very good. \Vcll, my good boy, I would hazard a. fair sum that the person who took the ring from me is the person you want. But you won‘t catch him. You are an agent of the police, I suppose 2" “No, sir. May I keep this stone?" “ Certainly. ~11: will do nobody any harm. Good morning.” - Gerald went 'out in a. whirl of excited thoughts. He seemed to have done no good, and yet he had heard something suggestive and interesting. And through it all he had a strong sense of amusement at the eccentric manner of the old Eva-l. “ What a. queer, suappish, clever old fellow he seems to be ! And how he reminds me of Mr. Beresford !"
