THE TWIN DETECTIVES. 197 *«T wish you had not brought her out here,” he said, when his father returned. ‘¢ What could I do with her?” ‘¢ Put her in a mad-house.” ‘“* Never. While I live she shall remain with me,” replied the old man, firmly. ‘* Well, I suppose it is all right, but suppose she does some crazy act and ruins us?” ‘““Pshaw, man! What can she do?” ‘*T don’t know. What does she mean by all this babbling about a child?” “¢ Does she talk of a child?” Old Brierly had grown pale. ‘¢ Yes; three or four times she looks out at the park and begins to talk about some child. She always does it at night, and points out to the lights.” “< It is very strange,” said old Brierly to himself. “It is very tiresome,” replied his son. Bob had got over all his uneasiness about Madge. He went to the house and brought away her trunks. He searched them through and through for the paper which he dreaded, the marriage certificate. It was not to be found. Wherever Madge had gone she : had taken it with her. On the day that crazy Hetty saw Bob without his disguise and recognized him, he met Charlie Hudson in the street. ‘“T am going to be married to-morrow, Brierly. Will you come to the wedding?” said Hudson. . ‘With pleasure. Il come to the church.” ‘We shall be pleased to have you. The wedding takes place at seven o’clock in the evening.” | ‘<T/ll be there.” Bob was glad there was no irae to be eins el from - Madge. He had made up his mind she was dead. (E(0) ‘Eomichbooks mn
