He has not been seen since and a few hours after, Captain Palliser expressed his conviction, that the person he had seen through the West Room window was Mr. James Temple Barholm, Mr.
'Miss Pillby, will you be kind enough to show Ida Palliser the state of her desk? asked Miss Pew, with awe-inspiring politeness. 'She needn't do anything of the kind, 'said Ida coolly. 'I know the state of my desk quite as well as she does. I daresay it's untidy. I haven't had time to put things straight.
