“There Is no engagement at a 1." Benny
deek answered, with a look wb e i- iggested
that it might be wise not to dwell on the
subject.
But the discover}' was welcome to Randal,
for his brother’s sake. He ran the risk of
consequences, and inquired if Catherine was
still to tv touiid at tiie hotel.
The captain answered by a sign in the
negative.
Kaudai persisted. "Do you know where
she lias gone?"
"Nobody knows but tier lawyer.”
“In that case,” Randal concluded, “1 shall
get the Information that I went” Noticing
that Bennydeek looked surprised, he men
tioned his motive. “Herbert is pining to see
Kitty," he continued, "and I mean to help
him. He lias done all that a man could do
to atone for tiie jost. As tilings are, I tinnlr
believe 1 shall not offend Catherine it I send
him straight to the place in which Kitty and
her ♦other are now living.”
They left the house together—one to go to
Sydney's lodgings, the other on his way to
Mr. Sanazins office.
