I'm begianing to feel like one of those mechanical dolls one sees in the shop windows.” Annassa pushed the hair back from her forehead. “Ten minutes after 10! And it's over 5 miles from the Crossing to Bride's House. Please tell your man to drive fastef, Mr, Diamond.” John Diamond shook his head. “We are doing 45 now as’'it is. The road is very bad in spots, and an automobile | wreck would not help matters any.” After his first startled denial that the young man at Bride's House was his son—a denial which had established the fact-that he had no son, had never had one—the millionaire’s silence had been almost unbroken. Aloud, Ann said: “We haven't passed any one on the Toad yet. Noah, consclous of blue velvet up- holstery and of a perfume like unto none his nose had encountered before, offered the_opinion that the towns- people would not go by way of the road. A cow trail through the woods cut off almost a mile and & half, And in a crowd no one would be afraid to take it, even at night. This piece of information served to increase the girl's inward quakings. Farmers armed with scythes and axes —farmers with shot guns—grim-faced, hard-handed sons of Puritan fathers— she could picture them marching through the dark woods, lanterns swinging, jaws tight set, feet thudding. There would be silence among them— no talking, no jesting. They would do what they had to do with terrible ear~ nestness—a lack of humanity that called itself duty. At last Annassa, with a ery of relief: “There's the house. You can see the lights through the trees.” They drew up at the gate, and knew from the air of quict lying over every- gested——" Annassa West pressed the hair back rom”her temples with both hands. “Willie Prentice! So he's here, 100.” Then, dismissing Prentice for the moment, “Oh, why did David have to go away—now? ' Everything seemed to be | working out so well. They were bound | to recognize each other. The re- Semblance is so strong. I'm only sur- prised I didn't get it right away. Why even their mannerisms—the way they hold their heads—" Cropsey, to whom this talk sounded like the beginning of a nervous break- down, did a little back-patting. “There, there,” he said, “I wouldn't | let it get me.” Not at this stage of the | game.” | The red-headed girl pushed him aside. “You think I'm going crazy. And per- haps I am. All the women who come to Bride's House do, they say. But let me tell you one thing. David has to.be | found. He has to be found right away.

Mr. Diamond?” “Yes," Annassa, “Mr. Diamond. He'll help; but he doesn't want to. Negaflfr itely.” “MXI. Terhunuei; Oh, 1 see,” Cropsey, and gave a sardonic grin. He glanced ln.lt his chief, sitting, with all the lights turned on, in the big French limousine. “We can't leave Mr. Diamond out there,” was R’u spoken comment. “It isn't a good ea.” Midway to the limousine he en- countered Mr. Gately Terhune, engaged in_smacking the heads off of a bed of tulips with his walking stick. The temptation to put the architect in per- spective with the rest of picture ‘passed, the managing editor whispered, “your little friend from the Scandals inghher 50 unceremoniously Saturday night.” The effect of the shot was all that anyone could have dzsired. Mr. Terhune started violently, so violently that he all but ncse-dived into the tullp bed. | “I don't know what you're talking about,” he began; but seeing a certain cold purposefulness in the managerial eye, added, “For God's sake, man, don't say anything before Ann. She's upset enough, as it is.” “Just as you think best,” murmured Cropsey innocently. “And perhaps you'll return the favor by standing by to lend a hand in what begins to look business—a very dirty b . ‘Terhune said, with considerable more heartiness than he had displayed so far, that he would stand by and the older. mntn continued on his way toward the gate. “Is that you, Alva?” Diamond called querulously; and when Cropsey admitted that it was indeed he, “How did you get here? I thought you were in Can- ada by this time.” Cropsey opened the door of the limou- sine, holding it so with one hand, his A BARGAIN For You with each carton of 4 ecakes of famous SWEETHEART TOILET SOAP Your grocer gives - | Terhune and myself.

It was at this point that Alva Crop- | sey showed himself in the doorway of the living room. His shaggy head and lanky, stoop-shouldered figure had never been so welcome anywhere before. To Miss West, they took on beauties only commensurate with those of an angelic vicitor from worlds unknown. She hurled herself upon him. “Have you—seen anything of & big young man with curly hair and a rather striking pair of dark eyes?” The managing editor's own twinkled. “I've seen just the young man you describe”’—he remembered the stable- boy's threatening scowl—“and I will agree that his eyes, as you say, were of the —er—striking sort.” “Please try to believe me,” said Miss West, clasping her hands earnestly, “he is a person worth saving. I haven't time to explain and the others don't understand. But you'll help—you will, won't you?” “Of ‘course, of course, but I'll have know what this young man is to saved from.
