I'd much rather yon stared. Besides, you want to see Bnndle." "Not now. This has driven everything else out of my head. You dont know where Jimmy Theslger is by any chance? I believe he was staying with the Cootes. Is he there still?" "I think he went back to town yesterday. Bundle and Loraine were over there on Saturday. II you'll only wait" But Bill shook his bead energetically and rushed from the room. Lord Caterham tiptoed out into the hall, seised a hat and made a hurried exit by the side door. In the distance he observed Bill streaking down the drive in his ear. "That young man will have an accident." be thought. Bill, however, reached London without any mischance, and pro ceeded to park his ear in St. James , 8quare. Then he sought out Jimmy Thestger's rooms. Jimmy was at home. "Hollo, Bill. I say, what's the matter? You dont look your usual bright little self." "I'm worried," said Bill. "I was worried anyway, and then something else turned up and gave me a Jolt." "Oh!" said Jimmy. "How lucid What's it All about? Can I do anything?" Bill did not reply. He sat staring at the carpet and looking so puzzled and uncomfortable that Jimmy felt bis curiosity aroused. "Has anything very extraordinary ocourrad, William," he asked gently. "Something damned odd. I can't make head or tail of it." "The Seven Dials business?" "Yes the Seven Dials business. I got a letter this morning." "A latter? What sort of a letter?" ' A letter from Bonny Devereux' executors." "Good Lord! After all this time!" "It seems he left Instructions. If he was -to die suddenly, a certain sealed envelope was to be sent to me exactly a fortnight after his death." "And they've sent it to you?" "Yes." "Well what did it say?" Bill turned a glance upon him, such a strange and uncertain one that Jimmy was startled. i "Look here," Ije said. "Pull yourself togaihe; pld man. ij seems to have- knocked the wind out of you, whatever it is. Have a drink." A Certain Letter He poured out a stiff whisky and soda and brought it over to Bill, who took it obedientjy. His face still bore tKe"'same' ' ffltttB $twsiQn.' "It's whats,in.jthe letter." her. said. "I simply cant believe it, that's all." I "Oh, nonsense,'' said Jimmy. "You i must get into the habit of believing six impossible things before breakfast. I do it regularly. Now then. let's hear all about it. Walt a minute." "Steven?" ; "Yes, sir." "Just go out and get me some cigarettes, will you? I've run out." very good, sir. Jimmy waited till he heard the front door close. Then he came back into the sitting-room. Bill was Just in the act of setting down his empty glass. He looked better, more purposeful and more matter; of himself. I "Now then." said Jimmy. "I've sent Stevens out so that we cant be overheard. Are you going to tell me about it?'' "It's so incredible." "Then It's sure to be true. Come on, out with it." Bill drew a deep breath. "I will. Ill tell you everything.' An Urgent Summons Loraine, playing wth a small and detectable puppy, was somewhat surprised when Bundle rejoin ed her after an absence of twenty minutes, in a breathless state and with an indescribable expression on her face. "Whoof!" said Bundle sinking on to a garden seat "Whoof!" "What's the matter?" asked Loraine, looking at her curiously. I "George is the matter Oeorge Lomax." "What's he been doing?" "Proposing to me. It wsi awful. He splattered and he stuttered, but he would go through with it he must have learnt it out of a book, I think. There was no stopping him. Oh, how I hate men who splutter! And, unfortunately, I dtdnt know the reply." "You must have known what you wanted to do. "Naturally I'm not going to marry an apopletlc idiot like George. What I mean is, I didn't know the correct reply from the book of etiquette. I could only Just say flatly: 'No, I wont.' What I ought to have said was something about being very sensible of the honor he had done me and so on and so on. But I got out of the window and bolted." "Really, Bundle, that's not like you." Well, I never dreamt of such ai thing happening. Oeorge who I always thought hated me and he did too. What a fatal thing it Is to pretend to 'take in interest In a man's pet subject! You should have heard the drivel Oeorge talked about my girlish mind and the pleasaure it would be to form it. My mind! If Oeorge knew one quarter of what was going on in my mind, he'd faint with horror!" Loraine laughed. She eouMnt help it. "Oh, I know it's my own fault. I let myself in for this. There's father dodging around that rhododendron; Hallo, father." Lord Caterham approached with a hangdog expression. "Lomax gone, eh?" He remarked with somewhat forced geniality. ."-AH For the Best - i "A nice business you let me in for." said Bundle. "Oeorge told me he had your full approval and sanction." "Well." said Lord Caterham, "what did you expect me to say? As a matter of fact, I didn't say that at all, or anything like it." "I didn't really think so," said Bundle. I assumed that Oeorge had talked you into a corner and redtscfcljyeu ;to such a state that you could only nod your head feebly.V "That's very much what happened. How did he take it? Badly?" "I didn't wait to see," said Bundle. "I'm afraid I was rather abrupt." (To lie Continued Tomorrow) , : ...- Xati.il. TRAIN From Bast Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. 220 pjn.

MUSIC CLUB YESTERDAY Largely Attended Meeting at Home of Mrs. Morris Blott to Study Folk Songs One of the largest and most in terasttng meetings of the Ladles Miale TJlub in many weeks was held yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. M. H. Blott, Fourth Avenue W. Mrs. R. L. Mcintosh presided and. after a brief business meeting, Mrs. Blott read a very interesting paper on "Folk Songs," dealing with Eng lish, Scotch. Welsh and Irish native musk. She said in part: "The folk songs are the songs of the common people and it was not until recent years that they have been recognised for their quaintness ana simple beauty. These song were originally sung by rustles at harvest homes during Christmastime or at festive neighboring gatherings. "Rev.

Much of its national music took the form of reel and strathspreys. Many of the fiddlers issued collections of these dances, some of their own composition some traditional airs. Isaac Cooper of Banff, Daniel Dow, Wm. Marshall and the Oow family have thus enriched Scottish music. A Scotch illustrative song was "Caller Herrln," sung by Mrs. J. Mc- Leod, and "The Weaving Song," by Mrs. Wm. Millar. Welsh Welsh folk songs, unlike the Brig-JJsfv.are wajltee and were originally' swig BY the hampers to spur the people to on battle or great deeds. Examples illustrated were: "March of the Men of Harleek." Mrs. Blott; "Over the Stone," a solo by Mrs. F. W. Allen.

(Continued from page one) Canadian Press) VICTORIA, Feb. 13. Anger gen erated In the debate over the dismissal of Norman A. Watt from his position as government agent at Prince Rupert burst its bonds tn the legislature yesterday afternoon, as government and opposition members battled over the form of in vestigation into Watt's discharge. The proceedings were threatened with uproar finally as II. D. Twlgg. Conservative, Victoria, attacked T. D. Pattullo, the Liberal leader, as a wartime opponent of conscription, bringing a fiery defence and denunciation in reply from the Oppo- Premier Itolmie assured the House that the inquiry would be private or public, which ever Watt personally preferred, and that a commissioner would be appointed in whom the public would have the utmost con fidence. The government's plan, however, to have a departmental enquiry was opposed by the Liberals, who contended hotly that Hon. W. C. Shelly, who discharged Watt, was equally on trial with Watt and that If you marry a thing of beauty (any investigation under the ' are likely to get jawed for partmtntal Bnqulrles Act would not meet the demands of the case. As the government held firm to it proposal, an opposition amend ment to the administration's resolution was moved by A. M.

After charge and counter-charge had been flung across the chamber fpr nearly two hours, adjournment until Thursday was taken in the end before the question was brought to a vote.
