CHAPTER XI.


Little returned to London. Passing through London one day he met a
dog-fancier. "Buy a nice poodle, sir?"

Something in the animal attracted his attention. "Fido!" he
gasped.

The dog yelped.

Little bought him. On taking off his collar a piece of paper
rustled to the floor. He knew the handwriting and kissed it. It
ran:--


"TO THE HON. AUGUSTUS RABY--I cannot marry you. If I marry any
one" (sly puss) "it will be the man who has twice saved my life,--
Professor Little.

"CAROLINE COVENTRY."


And she did.
