It was s of money? Her bewildered mind she No use to hedge! Burke had seen y as she had herself! If only she could shield Lucille. “Jim and Lucille have evidently had some business transactions,” she be- san, She made a supreme effort to “What d'you mean?" interpolated Burke. There was an ominous glitter in his usually mild eyes, He suspected that Miss Shirley knew more than she pretended. And he His face was very white as, suddenly to his feet, he said: “1 don’t intend to beat about the bush—to be made a fool of a second time! {f you've any explanation to offer for this—he pointed to the check in Shirley's hand—"let me hear it now!" He didn’t quite realize how brusque his tones sounded in his little Ds i listener’s ears, and was correspond- ingly surprised when that young damsel answered, quite as sharply: “| prefer to mind my own business —and should advise you to do the same!” “But it happens to be my business!" He cleared bis throat with a little | angry sound, like the crowing of an infuriated rooster. “Aren't you competent to question Lucille yourself, without dragging me into the affair?” rapped out the young girl tartly. “What have I go to do with Lucille’s money matters? A sudden, illuminating thought had come to her that drowned her indig- nation with Lucille. Lucille had bor- rowed money for her sake! This check from Jim—the sight of which had roused Burke's fury—explained the mystery of Lucille’s fictitious “uncle,” a yarn in which Miss Shirley had never quite believed. Lucille had done it all for her, so that she—Shirley—might be quite re- stored to health. And here was David Burke, su- premely ignorant in his condemna- tion, trying to lord it over both of them, and bristling and crowing like an angry rooster. “Shirley, I insist on going to the bottom of this mystery!" He had reddened to the very ears. “You'd better telegraph for your sister, then,” admonished Shirley, icy calm, “She's always been your stand- by in ‘investigations’ of this kind— she's quite a Sherlock Holmes.” Burke went quite pale with rage. “This comes particularly ill from you. And no one would be more grieved than my sister—after all she's done for you—to find you"—— He broke off, spluttering. = “Yes—do go on! ‘After all she's done for me’... Burke pulled himself together.
