Let me talk to her. Stormont hesitated, looked at him, nodded.” Darragh steod his rifle against the bench on the kitchen poreh. They entered the house slowly. And met Bve descending the stalrs. ’ The girl leoked at Darragh, as- tonjshed, then her pale faece flushed ity gald Dar- better—at you doing in this hoyge?’ she demanded unsteadily. “Have yoy no decency, no shame?" . “¥es," he said, "I am ashamed of what my kineman has dene to you and yours. * That is partly why T am here,"” ‘“Fou eame here as a spy,” she said with het contempt; ‘You lled ahout your name; yoy lled about your pur- pose. You came here to betray dad! It he'd known it he would have killed you!” ‘'¥es, he would have. But—do you know why I came here, Eve?” “T've tald you!" *“And you are wrong. T didn't come here to betray Mike Clinch: T to save him.” .‘Po you suppose I believe a man whe has lled to Dad?" she cried. “Y don’t ask you to Eve. T shall Jet pomebody else prove what I say. I den’t blame you for your attitude, God knews I don't blame Mike Clinch. He gtood up like a man te Henry Harrod. . All T ask s to undo some of the rotten things that my unele did te yeu and yours, And that {s partly why I came here.” The girl said passionately: “Neither Dad ner 1 want anything from Har- rod Place or from you! Do you suppoge yeu ean come here after Dad fs dead and pretend you want to make amends for what your uncle did to us?” "“Eve,! said Darragh gravely, "T've made some amends already You don't know 1t, but T have. . . You may not believe it, but I liked your father. '~ He was a real man. Had anybody done to me what Henry Harpod did to your father I'd have behaved as your father behaved; I'd never have budged from this spot; T'd haye hunted where I chose; I'd have borne an implacable hatred against Henry Harrod and Harred Place, and every soul in it!" The girl, silenced, looked at him without belief He said: “T am not surprised that yoy digtrust what 1 say. Byt the man you are going t6 marry was a juglor officer in my command. T have no eloger friend than Jack Stormont. Ask him whether T am to he be- leved."” Agtounded, the girl turned a flushed, incredulous face te Stermont. He paid: "You may trust Darragh as you trust me, I don’t know what he has to say to you, dear. But whatever he says will be the truth.” Parragh said, gravely: “Through a misunderstanding your father came inte pessession of stelen property, Eve. He did not know It had been stalen. 1 did.

He looked at Starmont, who seemed astonished. “To whom do these jewels belong, Jim?" demanded the Trooper. “To the youmg Grand Duchess of |2 Esthonia. Do you remember that I befriended her over there?” “¥es." ‘Do you remember that the Reds were accysed of burning her chateau and looting it?" “Yes, I remember,’ ‘Well, it was Quintana and his gang of international criminals, who did that,” said Darragh dryly And, te KEve: “By accident this case of jewels, emblazened with the coat of arms of the Grand Duehess of Iis- thonia ,came into your father's pos- gession.
