RELIIIINIIIILLLIIIIIIIIIIINLIIIA 4 A Wife’s Confessional wdele Garrison’s New Pham o REVELATIONS OF A WirE TIIITINIIIIIILL: “Perhaps You Were Rivals Cen- | turies Ago” — Lillian Generally, 1 do not consider my- | self a coward, but I gave a distinct sigh of rellef at Lilllan's ultimatum that T was not to share the nurs- Ing of her protege unless some one clse were in the room. Besldes my car of the girl's maniacal strength as 1 had experienced it during the ride home, T had an uncanny little teellng that in some way unknown to me the life of this mysterious walf and my own were linked un. pleasantly. T felt a reluctance to minister to her, which astonished me, for my usual impulse in ¢ of illness is to ald in any way can. Yet T was certain that never had T seen the girl hefore the minute when Lilllan led her from the| transcontinental train T look- ed up to find my friend’s eves fixed upon me quizzically. “Perhaps you were deadly rival for a man's love centuries ago, she sald. “Malign in Tts Influence.” “What a bonfire you'd have made fn Salem a while back!" T retorted, | foolishly irritated by her ability to| read my thoughts, T ought to be| used to her psychic powers by this time, for T surely have seen them | exhibited frequently enough: but 1| hardly knew myself this morning, 50 captious was my mood. I felt as though from the temporarily twist-| o1 mentality of the girl in the next | room, there was emanating some- | thing mallgn in its influence upon my own soul. “Yon need a square meal” TAl-| llan sald, laughing and linking her| arm in mine, *“Let's stow this away,| and prink up a bit, and then find | out what progress Mrs. Ticer is| making. I wonder where Marion and Junior are. T haven't seen them since we came in'" he had fT OWN room as she talked was stowing in a closet the valise which had been chained to=the mysterious weif's arm. e shut the closet door, and turning with eome diffi- culty the key in the lock, removed the key. She tucked it away in th little chamois bag in which she car- ries anything small tha of too much importance to trust away rom her person. “That's the first time T've had to turn the lock on that closet door,” she zald, “but Sam Ticer is| altogether too interested in this T reached | “I rided |1opea, business. Did you say you had seen children? No, but I know where they are, and so do you, If you stop to think.” “With Jerry Ticer and ‘Lady’ 1 suppose, you mean,” she returned. “But 1 think this time, you're mis- taken. They, no doubt have had a ride or two on Lady' but if I know Marion, she's too anxious to report to me what she saw in that sedan which passed us on the road, to waste much time anywhere else. There's the ‘makins' of a first rate d it T do say it rere was distinct maternal pride d th jesting words, and 1 knew th she was gratified to ece the resourcefulness, the keen ob- gervation, and the discretion which her young daughter had displayed These are traits which Marion has inherited from her mother, and which Lillian has fostered by every méans in her power. “She Saw the Sedan Again.” “I think she saw the sedan |again,” T eald quietly. Lillian wheeled quickly. “Where?" she demanded. “Just as we turned in the gate, returned. “She saw something, 1 | for she turned her head quickly and gazed down the road as the car turned. But when I asked her about it, she said with very pretty em- barrassment that would tell nothing just then, or you had asked her to say nothing until you questioned her. Having heard that injuction laid upon her by vou en the eedan passed us, T put two and two together.” “And I hope they make four, Lilllan inished a bit impatiently “I'm of interested in that se dan, Its occupants were altogether too interested in us.” We had reached the lower floor of the farmhouse as we fi hed, and from the veranda ¢ the nd of running feet, the short pattering footsteps of Junior, and Marion’s longer stride. “They've seen us,” Lillian said with a smile, and we stood together while the children fairly flung themselves upon us. “Oh Ma-ma!"

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY | “Perhaps you would oblige this worthy officer's longing for the welrd.” Sir Dudley addressed Wil- loughby Melyille, who rose and. left the room. “My friend, Doctor Mel- ville, has been making a private autopsy on the bit of bone" Sir Dudley rattled on. “Have a glass of port, sergeant?” CHAPTER 111 Mrs. Coningsby Peeps 1 Kathleen's bedroom was on the main landing at the head of the fine old staircase at the Grange. 1t was still quite early, for the| house party had retired' for the, | night €oon after dinner, spending | but little time in the drawing-room, where an air of constraint had pre- | valiled, | dress. Seating herself in an casy chair, she strove to recall every phase of the mystery surrounding her brother's fate. The process car- | | ried her back fo a period about a | | year before the death of Sir Philip her father. There had suddenly arisen a violent quarrel | between the old baronct and his| | helr, the cause of which had been | | caretully concealed from her.| | George had left the Grange in high | dudgeon, taking a tender farewell | | of his sister, but merely telling her | that .he was going to the western states of America. Six months later €he had had a Jetter from him dated from Lone Wolf City in Montana, informing her that he was well and engaged !in prospecting for gold. Kathleen remembered that she had mention-' }ml this letter, and {he place whence it was written, to her cousin Dud- Jey when he had spent a wesk-ond | at Beechwood Grange. | Shortly afterwards Sir Philip had been stricken with a mortal sick- ess which killed him in three days, and during which he had been too ill to allude to his son and heir. By the time the leisurely, old- | tashioned lawyers had. sent out a representative to Montana and pro- cured evidence * which after the law's delays established the fact of George Glenis death and gave the baronctcy “and chwood Grange to D latter's cousinly sympathy had merged into comething warmer. He had begged her to suit her own convenience in aving her own home, hinting that there was a very simple plan’by which she need not leave it at all. The result had been that with all | speed she had put hersclf under the protection of her relative, Lady Marrables, and had gone to live with that eccentric dowager in Cadogan Gardens. What would Dudley’s next move [ be, Kathleen asked herself, it he | had murdered George and left his body o lightly hidden that a car rion bird could molest it? He would | go out that very night and, under | cover of the darkness, hide it more effectually before the two searches, one by the estate laborers and the other by the police, began on the| morrow. He must cither be pre- vented or caught in the act | Having changed into outdoor | garments and- put on stout boots |and a tweed cap, she opened Jher | bedroom door by a few inches, The | 1ight on the landing had been ex- | tingwished, a sure sign that the | master of the house had come up | {to bed. The girl closed her own | | door noiseiessly and tiptoed over the thick carpet Int® wone of sev-| eral passages that bramehed from | the landing. She drummed lightly but insistently on one of the doors | until it was opened to her by Nor- “man Slater, still dressed and smok- ing a cigaret. After one glance her face he stood aside for her to enter, . and, gently | at “LOOK HERE, MY FRIEND,” SHE SAID. “I LIKE YOU VERY MUCH AND I ADMIRE YOUR HONESTY." Kathleen was in no hurry to un-| | slender burden, shutting the door, turned the key. “Don't look so scared,” she whis- pered, “It's me, not you, that's up agalnst Mrs, Grundy if we're spot- ted, Don't ask questions, but put’ on some boots and come to my room on the landing" Seeing that his ladylove was in no mood for argument, with a sol- dier's promptness in face of an emergency Norman did es he was bid, and they stole to Kathleen's room, There in bated tonés she ex- plained what she wanted, Dudley would sneak out to hide the traccs of hls crime, and they would fol- low and confound him, > She had hardly finished the breathless reeital of her project when it was justified by an almost inaudible sound across the landing. Probably they would not have heard it at all if they had not been staring {n silence at each other for a decision, The.sound was unmis- takably the cautious opening and “You've whispered Nor- man, "He's on the move.” 'We had better give him a good | start,” said Kathleen, “He is sure to leave the house by the side en- trance fhrough the gun-room.” CHAPTER 1V pilgrims of the Night The moon had lifted well he trees surrounding the where the over | glade crow had dropped its | On leaving the hoyse by the gun-room door, Kath- leen and her companion had scen no sign of Sir Dudley Glenister, and they had agreed to make for this place of evil omen.

So they came to the borders of | he glade and in eager expectancy peered into the open space. At-any other time they might have bgen struck by the contrast between the carlier scene — the profuse lunch table with its crowd of chattering guests — and the silent vista of tree-girt, moonlit solitude, carpet- ed with moss and ferns, “There he is!” Kathleen scarcely breathed, clutching Norman's arm. “On that stump to the left” Sure enough, on the trunk of am oak that had beeu felled, a mall was sitting. fl “He must have hear®h us follows ing and is waiting for us to come up,” Kathleen added. ‘Shall we show ourselves and openly accuse him, or go back!” - But Norman was slow to reply. | “That is not Sir Dudley,” he said at length. “Not so tall by six inches, | and he is wearing an inverness éape thing 1 don’t believe your * Melville has got &n in- rejoined Kathleen tenta- tively “It isn't Melville,” said Norman.
