But erer and again during their visit the two glrla and the aunta reverted to the eub-Joct of that apparently Inexplicable telegram. The glrla went home to the flat In Halda Vale together. Peggy a nerrea were a little nut rung by tne incident, it eeemea oaa omen occurlng so soon In her new life. Viva offered to go back and spend, tbe night with her, MIbb Mannerlng waa a young woman of a very active nature, she waa very averse from letting thlnga slide. "Do you know, Peggy, I think I would take some steps In the matter," abe said when they discussed the subject again before going to bed.

"I would do my best to find out who sent that telegram." "How can I Bet about It? 1 could go ot course to the post-office Id Chlswlck and see If tbe girls remembered the person who handed It In well enough to give me a description. But It's an awkward' thing to do, and they might resent It." "I don't think your going would be of the least use," said Viva decidedly. "It's a man's business, and a smart detective's at that. Now, If you don't mind spending a few pounds over the Job, 1 can put you on to the very person." She proceeded to explain to the Interested Peggy that some little time ago a man of the name of Ramsden had lodged for a few weeks at the boarding-house. He waa a very gen tlemanly, Intelligent fellow with a great fund of anecdote and conversation, and be bad taken a fancy to Viva and cultivated her society when tbey found themselves together ot an evening.

It was not long before he connuea to nor auite frankly that he was private Inquiry agent and greatly Interested In his profession. He shared a small villa at Shepperton wllth a friend, this villa was at that time being thoroughly done up, and he and his fellow occupier bad cleared out till the process was over. The friend had gone Into lodgings, he had come to the board Ing-houae. Before he left he had given his business addreBS to Viva, and laughingly remarked that If she should ever have need of him In his professional capacity, his services would be at her disposal for a very moderate fee. Peggy listened with ereat attention.

RHa had been very much Impressed with this rather sinister incident. She made up ber mind that she would like to unravel the mystery It possible with the aid of Ramsden. It wan agreed between the two girls that Viva Bhould meet her on the following morning and take iter to nis oince. On this same evening, the evening of tbe day on which Clement Wray had left his offices with the attache bag stuffed full of Treasury notes, Ralph Sheldon was in the sitting-room of his apartments in Albion-street, awaiting Mirivtw ui me uuuuuier, Half-past tight pasBed. a quarter to nine, Sheldon began to get fidgety.

A punctual man iiiuiseu, unpunctuauty in otners irritated him. The clock struck the hour, bo he got a book, and tried to concentrate on It, every moment listening tor a treaa upon tne stairs. At quarter-past he threw the book down, feeling quite angry at tills cavalier treatment of an important appointment. Was Wray going to play him a dirty trick? Had he, at the last moment, grown doubtful of the security and made up his mind not to carry out his bargain? He could hardly think It of him. Wray struck him as the type of man who, having once given hla word, would keep It at any cost.

Besides, he was essen tlally a man of business, if he intended to deliberately break that appointment be would nave teiegrapneu or 'phoned. He could bear tbe suspense no longer. It was useless to 'phone to his offices, they would have been closed long ago. He hunted up Wray's private address and got Into com munication with the flat. Wray's servant answered tbe call.

In answer to Sheldon's Interrogations, he said that be knew nothing of bis master's movements. From something Wray had dropped when leaving In the morning he had gathered that he would come back there straight from his office. Was Mr. Wray In the habit of changing his plans suddenly? Sometimes, but not as a rule. After what he had said, the servant had certainly expected mm nome.

The young man gave his name and plained that Mr. Wray had made a definite appointment to be with him at his rooms In Albion-street at eight-thirty. If Wray came In later would he tell him how surprised Sheldon was at his non-arrival, and ring him up with an explanation. He went back to his book In a very black mooa. At a quarter to ten tne re was no message from Wray's flat.

He made up his mind that not only had the financier gone back on Mb word, but had lacked the common courtesy to apprise him ot the fact. He cursed Wray. very roundly. (To be continued.) THE SCARLET SIGN. BY WILUAM LB QTJBUX (ALL BIGHTS RESERVED.) CHAPTER XI.

Continued. For the first two or three years she felt nhe had got to bo very careful. She bad to pay back to the excellent Bates the money he had bo kindly advancod for the furniture; that would be rather a severe strain on ber re sources. I think we should set on awfully well to gether," she said In conclusion. "Of course It la generally believed that no two women can live long together without sparring, but i don think I a Tory quarrelsome person, and I'm sure you're not.

We have known each other Intimately for some time now, 'and can't remember that we have ever had a single disagreement. We certainly shall not quarrel over men, for you don't care a straw tor mem. except in tne most absolutely friendly way, and I shall give them a wide berth for a very long Viva was delighted at the suggestion. Prom the first moment her friend had announced her Intention of taking a flat, she bad thought how delightful It would be If she could share It with her. But delicacy forbade ber maKing tbe proposition.

Now that It bad emanated from tbe girl herself, Mies Mannerlng was only too ready to accent the offer. Details were very soon arranged, and sbe need waste no more time than was aosomteiy necessary 10 carry me nlan Into operation- To-day was Wednes day, on the following Saturday she would give notice at the boarding-bouse, and move Into the Matda Vale flat a week later. She had no furniture at all, save a -rather handsome writing-desk, only a few boxes. There would be plenty of room for these. They chatted for a long time over their future mode of life when they became bouse mates.

with each other for company, they though they would soon grow Into regular home-birds, with occasional visits to an In expensive restaurant for mild dissipation. When they had exhausted these agreeable forecasts, the afternoon had worn on apace, the clock pointed to ciock. it was pan of their programme for thlB evening to go up to town and dine at a favourite rendezvous In Soho. As soon as Peggy had made some slight change in her dress It would be time to start, as they wanted to have a look at the shoos on their way. As she waB leav ing the drawing-room for this purpose Viva had of course come aireaay preparea mere was a sharp rat-tat of the telegraph boy at the street door.

When Poggy returned with tne telegram. which she had read In the hall, her face wore an expression ot deep concern. I must go at once. Viva. I am so sorry, dear, to have to upset our plans, but you see what It says." Miss Mannerlng read tne frier wire, wnicn had been Issued from an office in ChlswlcK, the nearest one to the Mall.

"Please come Immediately. Serious illness. May eld." viva war shocked, too. she was very fond of the kindly aunts, who had always treated their niece's friend with the greatest kindness. "It dosn't say which It Is, Miss Bessie or Miss Grace: sent by one of the maids, I suppose.

Well, dear, don't last a minute. I have nothing to do, I will go as far as the bouse with you to learn some particulars. Of course I shall not stop more than a few seconds. The girls In a very short time were out of the flat, going by 'bus to the Marble Arch tube, from whence, by train and taxi, they would arrive at the Mall. All the time they speculnted as to which of the two sisters had been suddenly struck down, opinion in clined to the younger.

Miss Grace, who was much more delicate than her sister. when they alighted from the taxi at tbe old-fashioned house. Miss Bessie Mayfleld was looking out or tne window, and hastened to open the door to them herself, her face lighted up wltb a genial smile that nuzzled the two girls. My dears, tnis is a most unexpected plea sure. But you might have let me know, so that I could moke eomr preparation." Clearly there was a mystery.

Miss May fleld would not have worn that unconcerned expression If her sister was seriously 111. Hut auntie, aariing, wnat does It mean? We did not propose coming here to-day, we came in consequence of a wire we got at my flat a little time ago," Miss Mayfleld read the wire and looked as puzzled as the two girls. "Somebody baa played a cruel and heartless hoax upon you. my den, we are both In the best of health, thank goodness. Your Aunt Grace Is never very robust as you know, but there is nothing serious the matter-with -her.

Well, come In and take your thin ks off." Tou will atav tn dinner of course." Having found that things were all rleht. it would have looked very ungracious to refuse Such a clean smell!

described the bearing of English poets, from Chaucer to Milton, towards natural science, and ahowed how a ooet's capabilities were in creased by the advance of science. The wider the knowledge of scientific fact the greator would become tne neia 01 tae pool wurn uM th. locturer. It was the emotional aspect which mattered moat, and In almost everything wo were far ton nnrtlcntar about emphasising the mathe- mMili-Ml Mlde. There should, however, be sufficient basis ot fact In literature to stir the emotions.

The lecture was the first of a series of three Livingstone (Camden College lectures by Dr. Sugden. Tbe second lecture will be delivered to-night. MISS MURIEL LANG'S RECITAL. Visa lfuriel Lane, though onlv about 14 Tears aire, Is already a 'cellist ot surprising breadth of style and musical feeling, aa she proved on Tuesday night at her recital at the Conservatorlum.

Her programme, in which she was artistically assisted by MLss Dorothy Gibbee, pianist, Included Beethoven's Sonata In op. 102; Ooltermann'a Concerto In minor, op. tne Boellmann Variations, op. 28; and a group of miscellaneous pieces. Wins Lang, who la from the studio of Mr.

Gladstone Bell, produced a broad, full tone. and exhibited a una sense oi rnytnm; in tne exac. Ing test furnished by the Beethoven Sonata she waa remarkably connaent, ana tne oeauc.ru. siow bw' ment was admirably played by both 'cellist and lanist. At present alias Lang Is wanting In spon-ineity In her bravura music, and there are other evidenoea of Immaturity in ber playing, but to young an artist could hardly have been expected to escape these deficiencies completely at this early stage of her career, One thinks not of such demerits which will all be remedied with further experience but of her conspicuous merits, which are many, and which amply Justify great hope for her brilliant success.

ihc Marline nl the work waa decidedly effec tive, and In the miscellaneous pieces, Sammartlnl'i "Uin Italian ixjve noon, wu-wuriu fullir tha familiar Hell ran of Van Gocne.

Danvera Power. COMPULSORY VOTING. anm time eamnulsorv enrolment bas been enforced, but at the forthcoming elec tions all wbo are qualinea win ne compeuea tote. Women will regard tnis aaaiuon 10 our InDl.latlnn with V.rlOUS fefillllEa. ThOSO OOll- sclous of and In the habit of performing their civic duties will be glad to think that by this means women who have been careless concerning thle responsibility may be roused to view In a more energetic light their social At.lltratiftn.

Then aome the women who consider that voting Is not a woman's business, ana moae whn ruffurfl It as an unnecessary nuisance. Th. intt. nm rawer In number than the for mer, but both classes win ne touna equmijr Ignorant ot even the most elementary pontics, mnA fnrmtful that whoever receives socUl benefits Is under an obligation to learn and decide upon the manner of their conferring. Of these, many may be converted to diner- ent views ny tne very act 01 sums i llni luinlh tn When all Is said and done, It le Questionable whether the vote thus obtained will he any more Intelligent than that hitherto given.

Australian women have been spoonfed with their politics, and rendered easy-going by the social conditions of their country conditions that compare more than favourably with those of other countries. They have gone their negligent way, heedless of thoBe who storm the gates of their Indifference. English women fought for their franchise. They fought hard, every Inch of the way. They have returned seven women to their Parliament.

Australian women were given the franchise, and they are represented In Parliament by only two ot their sex. am man rno. should women be In fluenced by class In deciding their political views. For they work, for the most part, away from the reiterated statements and dogmas that form the different creeds of the different classes of the male population, and which la.nn araln fieatn from the llDS of evety two or three men gathered together. ThU separation alone should enable women to have a wider, a more Independent, and a broader social outlook upon all social and political problems, especially those wnicn vnauy con r.n thAm.ntvofl.

While acknowledging that a "class vote" Is, perhaps, to be expected from women aa well mm men. It In not too much to hope that. If only the former would give aome time to e-ainine- the necessary knowledge, and to mak tng conscious judgments upon the facts they learn, the Intelligence of their vote would be imnmvAri tn hleh decree. There should he compulsory voting, but the compelling force should he sometning moro than the law. On each and every man and woman lies tbe responsibility ot saying how th countrv Is to be governed for the better ment of all.

It Is the moral duty of every woman to try to make her knowledge equal to the approaching occasion; and on the day that sbe Is compelled' to record It, let her bo ready with a decision as well thought out, and as Intelligently made, as It bas been In her power to do. w.r.
