Yiggett's Riker-Hegeman OF A WIFE GARRISON leaning far back in the corner of the machine, he plucked at the side up holstery and unrolled a sort of dark curtain-like drapery in front of him I cauldn’t help admiring the device Unless someone took the pains to come up to the window and look di- rectly into the machine there was no indication of there being any person in it except me. But the sheltered conventional persanality that had al- ways been mine rebelied at this bi- zarre secrecy and mystery. Iillian’s Prescription. The few minutes that elapsed be- tween my alighting from Mr. Drake's machine and the time Lillian's trusted man set me down at her door were interminable ones to me. I had been so shaken by the night's experiences that when I found myself alone I half- expected to see the man with the scarred hand or the mocking face of Grace Draper at every turn. But noth- ing at all happened, and when at last Lillian herself let me in and rushed me ta the library, where Katherine, too, was waiting, I was able to con- ceal my nervousness and tell my story calmly Lillian’s eyes gleamed as I told her of the many calculations Mr. Drake had made and of his turning the ori- ginal paper back to me. I knew that she was tremendously interested, but she made no comment until I had fin- ished. “That paper must be of tremendous ,”' she said. “Drake has 1t fixed in his mind, of course, and the key also and the calculations he worked out are scattered through his book in such a manner that no one but himself could make them out They would be of no use to the ather side. But suppose something should happen to Drake. Who would be ahle to use the knowledge?”’ “‘He said he had made provision for that,” I saiq hesitatingly Lillian shot a keen loak,at me, then abruptly changed the subject. I knew that she comprehended that Allen Drake had bound me to secrecy as to certain plans of his—plans in which even she had no share. “Now I'm going to prescribe for vou,” Lillian said, rising. “A sooth- ing draught, goad long sleep, and then, tomorrow, home for a well- earneq rest. You've accomplished all the things that I wanted you to do, dear, and I know you sacrificed somo- thing to come in.” 1 kissed her gratefully.
