Gypsy SYNOPSIS: Hope Joris is un- questionably the center of a dark mystery, although she is the wife of the socially prominent Rupert Joris. Dirk, Rupert’s younger brother, believes she may even be involved in blackmail, and he knows she is estranged from her father, the Rev. Silas Devine of El Paso. But Hope is ill and will do nothing for herself ; as a last resort Dirk has telegraphed her father, and now that worthy has arrived— by plane. Chapter 31 DIFFICULT CASE 1D lees got quickly into a dressing- gown, and went down. The Rev. Silas Devine stood in the hall. Beside him on the table lay his overcoat and dark gray hat. Dirk received an impression of height, of iron-gray hair, of a strongly hewn face with dominant nose and high cheek-bones. Despite his black clothes, the Rev. Devine did not look like a cleric. His sun-browned face and lifted head suggested an Indian chief. But his eyes were blue. Blue and and, if Dirk was not mistaken, puz- zled. “Mr. Joris?” he asked. shook hands. “Dirk Joris. My brother is ill in the country. It was | who wired you.” “How is she?” Devine asked, and when Dirk replied that Hope was not so well tonight, added at once, “Vl go up.” Dirk auswered that Hope must be prepared, and moved with the caller into the drawing-room, motioning him to a sofa. There he sat beside him, replying to his brief and trou- bled questions regarding Hope's con- dition. There was nothing that would suggest any 'ack of touch with Hope up to the moment of her illness, nothing except the visitor’s puzzled glance that moved now and then about the room, and came back to rest on Dirk. Dirk, replying, searched the call er’s face for some e of resem blance to Hope, finding none. Again Dirk was conscious that his para mount desire was to protect Hope, to spare her embarrassment and shock. Enlightenmen. would surely come in some chance word from Mr Nevine—at le ~t before he would be permitted to go upstairs. N R. DEVINE had not relaxed on the ‘ofa. He sat erect, with head only slightly inclined, listening to Dirk’s rather superficial account of Hope's illness. His large hands gripped bis knees. At last he said: “Of course I don’t know brother.” The cemark seemed to leave something unspoken, something il luminated by his next question. “Has she seemed happ; as they your Dirk was careful ir his reply. He | a must not betray her tc this man, father or not. “At times,” he answered. “But only at t.mes. Rupert isn’t to blame, however. He's been kind. indulgent. | Her unhappiness has been due, in part, at any rate, to some estrange- ment from her family. Naturally you know the details bette. than I. for she has never confidec in me. I thought :t might helr her to have you come on. That was why | tele- graphed you.” Mr. Devine bent his bright blue scrutiny on Dirk. “She didn’t ask you to wire?” he | said. “No. I dfd it, as 1 say, because | thought you might help her. No phy sician can.” | The Rev. Devine lifted one hand from his knee and put it down again am stopping at the Pennsylva he said. “I shall stay there till there is some change in her condi tion.” | He walked out into the hall, picked up his hat and coat. He looked at his watch. “You will keep me advised?” he asked. { “1 will no’,” said Dirk. This man who had flown two thousand miles because he thought Hope had tele. graphed him was not willing to walk upstairs to her when he found she had not. He was undoubtedly her father, decided Dirk. A little parent like that around th house might ex plain any departure of progeny. “1 don’t know that she will be able \to see yo tonight,” Dirk said. “But it she will, and you are interested in her condition, I advise you to go up. for if you go away without seeing ther, I shall not get in touch with you | again. ad ‘HE REV.

She left us de- liberately, taking the path of dan- ger, of rebellion.” His eyes came back to Dirk. “I have told her that she must give up this path, must come baci to find us. We are waiting.” “Waiting,” Dirk repeated thought- fully. “And where does the path she has taken lead? A dark fire lit the man’s eyes. “To destruction, Destruction of soul and body.” “And you are waiting,” Dirk said. “You are waiting, whe: she may have rec shed the end.” Devine looked at him. “Waiting,” Dirk said, “for her to Devine did not look like 2 cleric. |come back, when she oan not be able to.” He watched Devine’s taco as he might have watched the faces of a ju { And coming back,” he added, “coming back is pretty hard some- times, | don’t remember a ¥ot about the Bible, but 1 do remember the parable of the Prodigal Soi.
