WIMPEIMS (Vice-President the Roval Institute) IS NOW OPEN »t Mr. FREKES, 12, DUKE-STHET- 1 he "Standard" Bars:—Mr. Wimperis, like David Cox, ia not depen- dent en scenery that- is pretty any more than on sccnery that is grand. Noble form or dainty form is a thing of indifference to him as an artist. Indeed, it is not form at all, or at ail events not form that is permanent, that interest* him seriously. It is flying light and the shadow of a cloud over a great land. Mr. Wimperia is the poet of the every-day country, qhe thing lives: but by how few riUokcsArt like ftiis, as much in paintin g ca in writing, is the art that interests us most in the end." 44176 NEWPORT.

THE MYSTERY OF HAROLDSTONE…
-r THE MYSTERY OF HAROLDSTONE HALL BY E, BOW E N ROWLANDS (Barrister^ at-Lavr) CHAPTER XII. It is most provoking when the person you %ish to see is out of town," It is calculated to ruffle the most phlegmatic, and Aden may well fye excused for having giyen vent to a few ponderous oaths when, on the occasion of his third visit to Far worthy, he was told that he had not returned. He was in desperate earnest in his self-ordained mission, rnnd would never know a minute s peaoe he told himself—until he had brought to justice the murderer of his cousin. Of Syselton he was mainly suspicious, but on reflection he coii'id not bring. himself to believe that his friend for many years, Farworthy, had a hand in so foul and devilish a deed. He might know something about it; he might indeed actually know who the murderer was. and equally well might he have good grounds for concealing his identity. "I will probe it to the bottom," he wrote to Mrs. Rawson, and she had kissed the letter—and kept it. "A very silly proceeding," wiseacres will bleat out. "Was it?" She loved the writer, and regarded him with the full fire of affection which takeg possession of a woman who has loved but once in her life, and that when the "bread-and-butter" stage had long been passed. To herself she would admit that, she £ U&ttslted ill ktij4t tout trifcb liuu, was occasionally intolerant, and wanted her own way, for no other reason than that she didn't want him to have his; but he ought to know that she loved him, she argued, and he did. Aden was not uneasy in his mind about her constancy or love, and when she was thinking of him he was giving up all his time and facul- ties to make out "a case" against Syselton, He had called at Belgrave-square once again, but was told that Syselton was not well enough to see anyone. The next day he ran down to Brighton, and stayed there elabora- ting his plans for a couple of days. When he returned, he naturally the first afternoon bent his steps towards Eaton-place. Mrs. Rawson was in, and in the drawing- room with her was the man he had vainly tried to find, Syselton, who coloured slightly on seeing who the new-comer was. This sur- prise hardly seemed to be of a pleasing char- acter, and his manifest embarrassment was not lessened by the very curt How are you?" with which Aden greeted him. So you have been to Brighton," the widow said, with a charming affectation of careless- ness "very empty isn't it ?" Eul], I should say," said Aden, crossly. Oh, Mr. Syselton ha.s not long been I back, anq. he found it a desert." "Changes are of everyday occurrence," Aden said. Yes; except in the case of tempers of some people," Mrs. Rawson returned pertly. "I suppose a compliment was intended, as my reputation for sweetness of temper is well known,' 'Aden replied, with an attempt at a laugh. "No, no, vou axe not at all good-tempered, and at times you are positively unbearable; that's the worst of you men; unless you are allowed to do exactly as you please, you be- come trials. Now, Mr..Syselton, isn't my philosophy sound?" "Very." And there was a silence. Mrs. Rawson hardly knew how to carry on the conversation single-handed, and Aden and Syselton said nothing. "Do do, do talk," she said at length, with a sigh; I feel rather sleepy and require rousing." "I fear if I did I might give rein to my ill-temper," Aden said, gloomily. Well, there is a distinct chance oi your doing so, but I will run the risk; anything is better than dullness." "Even a row with me?" "Even a row with you." Syselton spoke. I was sorry that I was not well when you came to see me, Aden; had I known that you were the caller, I should have seen you." Oh, it doesn't matter at all, thanks," paid Aden. dropping some of hia former stand- offishness. "I was desirous," Syselton continued, "of seeing you on a point which I oan speak of now—if you have no objection. ?'' fes added,, turning to Mrs. Rawson. "None; if it is amusing or exciting, I shall ? devoutly thankful. What is it?" "A question." Aden fixed his eye-glass, and solemnly viewed the speaker. Will do my best to tnswer it. Fire away." "At Mr. Haroldstone's house"—Mrs. Raw- son shuddered, Aden stared harder than ever- "opposite, or nearly opposite, the room in which Miss Haroldstone's body was placed there are three rooms, are there not?" Mrs. Rawson nodded; she dreaded a re- currence to the night of the murder and its subsequent events. "In one of these I slept; the next door to me was that man Picke, and on the other side—who?" "Mr. Aden had the white room," Mrs. Rawson interrupted. "No," Aden explained, "Farworthy did; I occupied his room that evening, and when he came back, finding that I had removed my things there, he took mine" Mrs. Rawson's heart beat quickly, but Syselton only remarked, Oh, I was curious to find out that." Aden queried. "Anything to do with the- 1" Syselton apparently knew what word was coming. He said "No; but it clears my path entirely, and there are now no obstacles to my progress." "In what direction?" "You will pardon me, Mrs. Rawson, for delaying my answer to that question. It is not only desirable, but even necessary in the interests of all, that I should maisgain whence; at any rate, for th? prsaesA, WZ& II can safely disclose all that I know, if you insist. I will do so, but I doubt if you will thank yourselves for having forced such a terribly painful task upon me. Believe me, I do I repent what I have already done, and would not willingly add to your troubles." He spoke with great deliberation and an earnestness at variance with his apparent char- acter, and for the first time in her life Mrs. Rawson was favourably impressed with him. Aden, too, thought that he saw before him one who was more of a man of action than a mollusc; he was perplexed. Could he have killed Madge?" Why do you speak of repenting what you have already done?" Mrs. Rawson asked. That again I cannot, I dare not, explain now. Mrs. Rawson, for your sake, for the sake of everyone connected with you, I beg you not to question me. I am going through with this, but the time is not ripe as yet, and when it is, God help you I think I must go now," he added, and, taking up his hat, he said Good-bye." "Good-bye. You must come and see me again soon," Mrs. Rawson said, kindly. "Thanks; I shall be delighted. Good-bye, Aden." Good-bye." He walked noiselessly away. The door had hardly closed upon Syselton before the two began to eagerly discuss his enigmatical behaviour. As a rule his reticence amounted to chur- lishness, and not in the recollection of either of them had he manifested even slightly the emotion which had so thoroughly swayed him that afternoon. He must hold the key to the secret," Aden said, and, seeing that his companion was equally mystified, "Josephine, what is your opinion about all this?" I don't know what to make of it; it is so very strange," she replied. "It seems clear that Mr. Syselton either knows, or wishes to appear to know, who is responsible for Madge's death." Seems like it," he agreed. I do wish. dear, that you had not plunged into this affair. It can do no good to poor Madge, and from what Mr. SyseltoD said it may do harm to many others. Oh, I would give anything I have to understand his mean- ing I won't go as far as all that, but it would be a good thing certainly, and I wish I could get at it." He went over to where she was sitting, and drew her head on to his shoulder. "Let us leave the subject now, dear, and talk of something pleasant-?r. As you please," she demurely assented. "What shall it be?" "Ourselves," he suggested. "Yourself, you mean," she corrected. Willingly: let me whisper something into your ear." "Yes; is it so fragile that it won't be able to bear the pressure of the air?" she asked, laughingly. Well, perhaps; but. I only, you know what I mean, don't you?" "No, indeed, I do not," opening her eyes very wide. "You must know: about-" "Yes, about what?" "Our wedding; when shall it be 1'. "Whenever you like," she said, gently. "Next month?" "Yes. if you HA behaved very rudelv in preventing her finishing the sentence, but she was not angry. She was, however, displeased with her foot- man who came in with tea. He should have known better than to enter without making f>*6"5ne sort of noise, but he didn't, and a month's notice was his reward. A footman's business notice was his reward. A footman's business requires a lot of knowing, and it takes more than height and a good presence to make what the comic papers will persist in calling a flunkeY." Mrs. Rawson's servant was not a finished article. She paid good wages, and she ought to have seen that she got it. She hinted as much to Aden. "I declare, I hear Jack's voice downstairs," "I declare, I hear J ack's voice downstairs," I he said. "Yes; he has been here all the afternoon, I teaching Myra how to play the banjo," she replied. II "Very good; of such stuff are men made he sneered. "Don't be cynical; out of sight out of mind it is with most of us, and if you were to lose me you wouldn't, of course, enter a Dominican Monastery, wouldn't you, Gerald?" .s "No, I would .shoot myself; but, darling, seriously speaking, I have been on the look out for Jack for some days, but couldn't lisrht on a trace of him. Now he is here, I shall collar him. He will be Up: I expect, soon." Yes, here he comes"; as footsteps were heard outside the room, and Farw-orthv, com- ing in, shook hands with Mrs. Rawson and his friend. -?-?- "Never at home wheu I call. Aden said, arily: but what matter, suppose I must take my chance with boot and candlestick makers. What are you doing with yourselU" "Nothing." he answered, wearily. "K 0- thing, I think of doing a tour round the world." "It would do you good," Mrs. Rawson said, cheeri-iN". I think it would." So do I," said Aden. "Oh, I don't know; it would be a good deal of trouble." So it would you're right there." Wonderful unanimity! Quits aston- ishing Mrs. Rawson said. when you do make up your minds to agree, you don't stop at half measures." "It's the only safeguard that friends have, for when argument takes the place of agree- ment friendship is at an end," Aden said, shortly. Quite true, Gerald." Mr. Farworthy, I this time agree with you," she laughed, breaking off to ask, "Where is :Myra!" I It was somewhat surprising that she had not come up with Farworthy. but later on I she did, and excused herself on the ground that she had been feeding Her canaries. She sipped her tea and did very little towards helping Mrs. Rawson carry on the conversa- tion, but she was quite capable of carrying it on single-handed, and did so very briskly. The two men, is proportion to her talkative- ness, grew more sitent. Aden was thinking how he couid have even momentarily sus- t pected his friend of the crime, and Farworthy I was M usual wrapped up in himself. From such a pair little that was interesting or" enlivening could be expected, and as a matter of fact none was forthcoming. When Mrs. Raw- son was completely exhausted. Aden got up to go. and Farworthy followed his example. They walked home together, but Aden made no reference either to the murder or Pickc a story. He felt that the latter had concocteJ the story in order to blackmail, and reckoned. that he was sensible in believing that a man who could lie as Picke had done with regard to himself was not worth following in other respects. Picke had said that he had seei him—Aden—come out of the "white room.* and efterwards go through the ghastly series of actions lie declared that he had witnessed. It certainly was not he. and it was almost impossible to mistake Farworthy for him. Picke might have been speaking the truth, but he preferred to trust his own instinct to the word of a man who had confessed himself a blackmailer. He resolved to dismiss from his mind all question of Earwortliy's guilt. Will you dine with me i-o-night?" he said. as they turned into Piccadilly. Yes; where?" Anywhere." dub ?" No let it be the Berkeley." "All right." "Anything for a change." (To be continued).
