Dorothy Kerr was one of the few women for whom the acrid old man had any liking or respect. His admir- ation for the stately beauty was bound- less, and he eagerly sotzed the oppor- tunity of doing her a favor, As Dorothy and Barrington reached the front door the girl said: “Those papers I gave Mr, Slooum were the proofs of this ‘aunt’ existence I wish them put in @ safe place, for, unless you are much maligned, Mr. Bar- rington, you are the sort of man who would not scruple to obtain them by any means in your power.
