Au : ! Ihe was dctermined that he should nut fall into thdr hal1l1s , Preseutly Rose had an idea. "I wi\l \ scud a telegram , " she said , "if you will give me his ad ress , " Miss Elmore hesitated. But there was no alternative. She gave the adilress. It was a street ruuning out of the I.am- beth road , RI\ll \ presently U.o e wrQte ollt the following telegraull "Have had one of myoid attacks , but am hetter. Am with friends and safe , hut cannot leave ti\l \ morning. Don't worry , Kate , " It cost Rose a pang to sign another woman's name to a message to her hus- baud , but she had steeled herself to carry her resolve out , cost whatit , might , . . As soon as the telegram was wrille ! , she put on her thiugs , and , leaving the servant wilh the patient , went out. She wasn't goiug to the offi.e herself. 'fhe nearest office was in a grocer's shop , atilt the ) 'oung lIIan nlight be tricke by th police into giviug the address upon the lclegratll. So she went to the doctors , told him a little romauce about hi patient , allli he promised to send the telegram off himself when he went out which would be in half an hour. Th detective was hardly likely to follow the doctor's broughalll or to susped hi'J cr. ran . And if he did he wonld get no information - formation from him. As a lIIedical man , any informaliou that came into his hands lhrough a patieut was sacred. This task accomplished , Rose wcnt hack and tried to comfort and soothe tlll' invalid. - At ten o'clock the female detecth'\ went awa ) ' . The man relllained till mil , night. lIe knew that some one was il in the house. lie had seen the servanl go for the doctor and he had seen Mrs Smc ley go to the doctor afterwards : Miss Elmore had not come out.

The case wa5 I getting more complicated than ever , bu1 he made up his min that the youn - lad ' wouldu't oblige him hj' coming out whllc he was thete , and so he welltl\way. It was c\'illcnt to him lhat for the pre. scnt he was Coiled. 'fhat John Smedly was ill I.ondon he felt surej that he was : an actor , who called himself WIlEOn he i WI\S convinced , and his view was strengthened hy the.

The next morplngIiss ! Hhnore was much bctter. Rose watchcd hcr till she slept and hall then gone to lie < Iown on the sofn in the sitting.roolll. She was so much belter that towards the middle of the day , whclI the doctor clunc , he allo\vcd her to get up. . Then she Rllll Rose talkcd the situation oyer. nlllllittle hy little the young nctress told her stQry.
