JOHN WHITING'S DIS APPEARANCE.

— -» (Continued.) given me letters of introduction to other bankers and men of wealth, with the result that I soon found my breakfast tray littered with invitations to dinnet here and take tea there until I was well nigh overwhelmed with social kind nesses of this mild order. But never dur ing all this time did I forget the objeot of my search. "A man who has always been poor," I reasoned, "and who has suddenly oorno into great wealth would not be contented to live m obsourity. He would dress well, go to the opera, dine at the club and neoessarily become known." From time to time during my Lon don visit I heard rumors of a German oount whose money was making Lon don talk. He frequented the sooiety only of bankers and men who receive investments, as he had large sums to satisfactorily place, and he talked much of his castle on the Rhine, to which he would retreat shortly as soon as hia London affairs were disposed of. The oount lived m a fine suit of bachelor apartments, spoke with a very foreign aooent and frequently lamented the faot that he had never before visited the great English oity. I have no partioular fanoy for noble men, and so I declined with various ex cuses all invitations to meet the oount. But one evening just after dinner there came to me the beautiful daughter of a gentleman at whose house I had just dined. "I have a favor to ask of you, dear Mr. Grosvenor," she said, "and it is that you remain this evening for a small oard party which I give m the billiard room. One of my guests has written that he cannot be here, and," laughing, "papa says Amerioans are so charming ly obliging that I have ventured to ask you to make up the missing one. And besides I want you to meet Count Zier storff. Papa, persuade Mr. Grosvenor to meet the count." The girl's blushing face and the fa ther's rather brusque reply rather pre pared me for the revelation which the father made me iv confidence a few min utes later over our cigars. "Remain," said he. "I fear that my daughter is deeply smitten with this stranger who has been m London such a few days. And I wish you, with your native sharp ness, to inspect him critically for me. In other words, tell me if you think him a suitable match for a good and beauti ful girl like my daughter. That he has money I have no doubt. " The billiard room was dimly lighted at one end when the guests began to ar rive. The first announcement was Count Zierstorff. And, turning with laughing face to present me to his nobility, Miss Delaplaine, my hostesa, uttered a cry of

dismay. With a sudden attack of verti go I had reeled, and but for a servant'! assistance I should have fallen to the floor. My illness did not prevent me from returning to the room to say good night to my hostess and also to get another glimpse at the "count." He was a lit tle thinner than when I had last seen him, and he wore a wig, but that he was the man I sought my quick eyes left me no doubt. That night I allowed the count to go home with a party of gay friends ac companying him, and it was fully day break when they left hid rooms, and I saw the chandeliers go out. Finally but one light twinkled m his apart ments. "That is his sleeping room," I said, "and now is the timo to act." : Noiselessly I slipped into the house, giving the doorman a handful of silver to admit me, and along the corridors I | stole to the door of my gentleman's i room. j "You may go, James," I heard him say to his valet. "I shall not need you again tonight. And, by the way, James, you can pack up early iv the morning. We start at noon for Berlin. " "Not so fast, John Whiting, " I said to myself. "You have an account to set tle with me first." The door opened, and the valet came out. Slipping past the man, I glided into the count's room. He heard the 1 sound and turned with a startled jump Ito meet me. The heavy wig which he I had worn was laid aside, and his beard, i too, was gone. He was as olean shaven as a monk. As he saw me he advanoed a step, and for a second we stood face to face. The sudden disappearance of Count ' Zierstorff from London sooiety made ! something of a sensation. And mysteri , ous lines crept into the daily papers. ( Once before taking the steamer the j oount begged to drop a line to Miss De ■ laplaine and I humored him. But all ■ during the rest of the journey he was ; silent, asking nothing and expecting ! nothing. j Once I saw a mute question m his eyes, and I answered it. "You want to know about Mrs. Whiting and Kate?" I ', asked. "They are much broken, and I ; think this will—will kill thorn." Per ' haps I was merciless, but detectives have less mercy for oriminals than com mon folk have. I The direotors knew m advance of our arrival, and so did the police. We still agreed that all should be kept se cret, and so when we arrived on the pier there was simply a mysterious olosed aarriage and a few officers m cit izens' olothea to meet us. It was morn i ■

(To be continued,)

The good night to the hostess.
