WIMPERIS (Vice-Indent of the Royal Institute) IS NOW OPEN at Mr. FREaE S, 12, DUKE-STRET. The "Standard" gilys "Mr. Wimperis, like David Cox, re not depen- dent on scenerv that is pretty any more than on secnery thas is grand. Noble farm or dainty form is rViing of indifference to him as as artist. Indeed, it is aofc form at all, or at ail events not form that is seimaneBt, that interests him seriously. It is flying light and the shadow of a cloud over a great land. Mr Wimperis is the poet of the every-day country. The thing lives: but by bow few strokes? Art like /his as much in paintn.n g ss in writing, is the art that' interests us most in the end." 4417b NEWPORT. THE jgj M P I R E 'I. Managing Director .—OSWALD STOLL.

THE MYSTERY OF HAROLDSTONE HALL. BY I ?, E. BOWEN ROWLANDS (Barrator- at-L»w) m (CHAPTER X.-Contbiued. In thinking that Syselton killed Madge." Oh., Gerald 0 I fear it is but too true; Syselton had! a ibottle of poison in his room; understands the use of drugs and poisons, and I Osxnk Picke is telling the truth in saying that he saw Mm go into the room where the body ww. He went there, but I 'can't guess the season; the affuir is enwrapped in mystery. What did he want in tho room, and why should he have stabbed the poor grrl 1" "Why should; he have poisoned her?" she Aid, curiously. "God only knows." He leaned against the HMuatei-pieoe, the picture of dejection. "I wovM not even try to fathom his itoiivc." "Ge.rad I" She was annoyed at his strangeness, but she feit that she should humour him, and help him out of the mental moraes into which the tragedy had tlrown him. She put her arms around his neck. "Gerald, dear, taflk to me; so much thinking ".wi do you no good." My little darlirg I" He held her in his arms. You are a dear little woman "Not so very little, dearisfc," she said, with a TOgaish smHe. "No but ajl the saine you axe my Kttie woman." She kissed! him for an answer. "I am worried to death about this. If I could find out who brought you tie needle She interrupted him. I know; it came back to me directly you had gone last night. It was Mr. Farworthy." J a.ok! My God; you don't know what you are saying." "Yes, I do quite well. Mr. Far worthy came with me into the room, and when the conjuror asked for a. needle I told him to get one; I am positive that is so, and I can now, when I try to recollect it, remember how long he was away, and how we all waited for him until we were ready to lynch him for taking so much time to find an ordin- ary needle. What is the matter, Gerald? You: are not ill 7" she sa.id, seeing how pale Aden had become. II No, dear, I am not; but this is all very sudden and! very bad. The man who brought that needle is the man who poisoned Madge. On the point of it was the deadly poison which billed her. Ah," he cried, bitterly; I see it ail now; his prolonged a-hsesoe from the room; tha knowledge he iad ox the bottle which belonged to Syse'Json. and con- tained poison. Jack!" he oried*inspic^yle, it caimot be!" Mrs. Rawson soothed him, No, no I am certain it was not; but there, Dam so con- fused that I hardly know where I am standâng. Mr. Picke compromises Mr. Syselton, and then you break down under the weight of the j evidence which goes to prove that Jack Far- worthy killed the girl he affected to love. My dear Gerald, do be sensible talk tto me, dear, you can think of this to-morrow." "I will see Syselton the first thing in the morning, and after him Farwortfyy; and the man who did this cruel deed shiill have no mercy from me," Aden declared, furiously. "Does it lie between them, then ?" Mrs. Rawson asked softly. Yes; for everything points to them. I shouldn't be surprised if they wetre found to be in a conspiracy. I will unBiask them, and though Jack is my best friend I will deal hardly with him if he has dome me and mine this great wrong." I Mrs. Rawson had never seen Aclen in such a state of mind before; he was usually very reserved and quiet, and accustomed to allow things to take their own course pffetty much as they liked. Now, on the contrary, he had lost most of his self-control, and ponced up and down the room like a caged lion. "I shaTJ write to uncle," he. continued, to-morrow also, and bring tim home. Picke I will hand over to the police; I will find out for myself the villain -who killed her." > She saw it was useless to attdttnpt to re- strain him, but she tried to caJm him, and succeeded. Before he left he had promised to take no further steps until he had sten n(¡f', but much against her will ehe had permitted .W«, to visit Syseltoa. To-morrow night I shall be here again; till then, pood-bye." He put his a-rme around her and kissed her again and' again, and then he walked downstairs and home [n a. very storm of rain. Mrs. Rawson lay awake throughout the greater part of the night thinking of him. She loved him more than she would admit, and regretted his having taken upon himself the task of exposing the mystery of her I friend's death. Dear Gera-ld," she said to herself, and with his name on her lips she fell asleep. CHAPTER XI. When Picke was clear of the house, his effrontery returned, and with it the desire to make money out of someone. Blackmailing is more of a mania than a. profession, and holds its victims tightly to its side. It never lets go. Picke had failed wth Mrs. Rawson, and in Aden's possession were the cheque and receipt ready to be handed over to the police at any minute. Something was to be made out of the "affair," and he wanted money; the spirit of the blackmailer possessed him. Mrs. Rawson was "no good," neither was Aden. Syselton,. the meek, blushing little man should be his next subject. He was the man he had seen go into the room and use the knife. In most cases it is easier to deal with a man than a woman, the former being more susceptible to fear, but Picke was not far out in assuming that the strongest-minded womaa will submit to 'amy extortion and persecution to help tlie man she loves. He had been unfortrr'. hat was all, with Mrs. Rawaort-* It!r? c-"„ a little bit too clever to believe everything she was told, and, like the wise woman she was, went straight to I the fountain head to trace the source. "Never suspected she'd tell Aden, hanged if I did." So thought the clerk as he cuffed a crossing- sweeper who had intentionally brushed up against him. a,- The sweeper drew attention to his assail- &nt's lack of beauty, remarked on his general appearance, and wound! up by a flattering reference to his eyes. He then disappeared. Mr. Picke, muttering unpleasant words under el his breath, walked into a restaurant and asked for a directory. It was brought to him, and he looked out Syseltonis address, but could not find it. He knew that he lived in Bel- giTave-square, but was ignorant of the number of the house, so he trudged off through the slush and mud, and enquired at the various houses until he was enabled to make his friendly call. He- pealed by mistake the servants' bell, and a piping voice was heard ascending from the area, "This is the way, can't ver cum daown?" Picke leaned over the railing and anathe- matised the page who had spoken to ium. Stop that squeaking and corne up and let me in." "If you've the piper, there's the letter-box for you," was the retort. Picke rang the j other bell, and told the boy to go to the devil, but this he firmly declined to do, and showered down on the clerk's head a long string of •uncomplimentary epithets, which Picke did not deign to notice, and when a footman opened the house door, he assumed a lordly air, and asked, Is my friend Syselton at home?" at the sajne time giving hif card. The servant appeared considerably aston- ished at this mode of inquiry, and said he would see, inviting him to take a seat in the hall. The much-injured man grew positively red in the face at the indignity offered him, and was only modified by an apology and an invitation to go into the library, which he accepted. "Very ignorant, these flunkeys are; don't know a gentleman when they see one. Ah, you've not been long, I see." Will you come this way, sir.' Picke squirmed with delight, and was ushered into the presence of Mr. Syselton. He was sitting at his w riting-table, but he got up when he saw who his visitor was, and said, "Mr. Ha-roldst-one's solicitor, I be- lieve." I'll pay him out for this; won't he be giad to shake hands with me, isoon, and aloud, Itle-ssrs. Roche and Roche's confi- dential clerk, Mr. Picke," adding, "that's nie." Did you oo me, a hem, on business?" Syselton asked. Important, very important, for your private ear, sir." "Then, may I ask yov. to kindly let me know what it is at once, ,l.'5 I am very busy to-day. You will pardon my saying so, Mr. ——" "Picke." Ah' how foolish of me tw forget, Mr. Picke; I am really very sorry." He shewed it by exhibiting his face a deep red. It doesn't matter; I will cut the dialogue, and conie to r£ crur at once." u 'hack JOU," .^F.seltOD sa.i«t luimK* Mr. Picke spread himself out on the sofa, f and put on his pince-nez. "It's important mind you, most important." | Yes," Syselton returned, with a trace of jerking in his tones. "Most, the clerk affirmed. "Indeed. What is it? permit me to ask, does it refer to me?" Syselton asked, quietly. Mr. Picke laughed gutturally. h Yes; it does refer to vou. It concerns you nearly." v "I should be glad to know what it is." "You shall then. It has some bearing on the murder of Miss Ha-roldstone." "Yes." He was absolutely unmoved, but, the flush was still on his cheeks. In fact, I think it accounts for the murder of that unhappy young lady, you see !7' Picke resumed, but Syselton, with an air of con- fusion, said, "I admit- that I do not under- stand you." Mr. Picke sniffed, rested his head wearily on his band, and in an unconcerned tone said that he woulu mcke it as clear as his poor powers would allow. Be ',lie--i proceeded to set out at great length the facts connected with the first night he had spent under Mr. Karoldstone's roof. When he came to the recital of the manner in which he had watched him—Syseli-on—cut the arm of the dead girl, he spoke in a low whisper, and was as impressive as it was possible for him to be. His hearer, on the other hand, appealed slightly borer", and at the coochision of the long aad harrowing tale barely suc- ceeded jn stifling yr-wn. I What prowl have you .f thi.s!" "Never mistaken," said Picke, in confident tones. Syselton's manner was not re-assuring, but a little threatening, judiciously administered, would be effectual. "Well, what is my answer?" Picke asked. To what question ?" Syse'ton ingeniously l'etûrted. Mr. Picke was embarrassed: he looked foolish. "What do you propose to do!" You must think me very troublesome, but I don't understand you; it is very stupid of me; would you mind again explaining?" and Syseitwn looked as though striving to conpre- hend the incomprehensible. Willingly. If I went to a police station now you see?" muttered Picks. No, I can't say that I do; what would you do there?" "Tell my story." Syselton assumed an air of utter confusion. Why?" To try (0 clear up the mystery." Oh that alters the case; if you can do that, you will do a great service to your country," Syselton droned. "But you Picke was indeed aston- ished. "I; Wha.t have I to do with it?" Oo You are the man I saw I may have been; you have my permission to use my name in any way you think best to the authorities," Syselton said, with an ease of grace cad manner which his friends would never have accused him of possessing. "I s»*fi nntess you induoe me not to do 60," Pkie tieofesred. Howf5' "A thousand pounds," slowly, and witii emphasis. "Mr. Picke. you can't be serious," said Syselton, gravely. Yes. I a.m, and I implicate you, if I don't have a thousand before to-morrow night." One moment. If I give it to you now, you "ill not divulge your secret; you will not throw suspicion upon me. If I do not, you denounce me." Inquiry was writ large on every feature of Syselton's face as he said this more rapidly than usual, and continued, Will you leave me your address, so that I may write to you Y" Mr. Picke gave it. congratulating himself inwardly on his success. "You shall hear from me to-night, and now will you excuse BDe ?'' Syselton this time shook hands with his guest, who knew he would be on his knees in less time than it takes to write his name," and excused himself for not having offered him any refreshment. "1 am really too busy to remember anything." He rang the liell. Well, if you must go. Mr. Picke, good-bye. I shall sec you to-morrow." (To be Continued).
