The Cablefhan AN EXCITING PRESENT-DAY " ROMANCE Weatherby Chesney ~ Supplied Exclusively in Canada by The British and Colonial Press Service, Limited. Scarborough turned to» servant. "See if you can find Mr. Mason or Mr. Davitt," he ¢aid. "Ask one of them to be good enough to relleve me at once, ; Say that if is important." The man went out, and Scott looked up with a grin, " "That puts it not unto the touch, to win or lose it all," he quoted again. "Changed your mind, Horace? Going to pit it to the touch, after all?" Searborough looked at him with a frown, which slowly changed into a smile. "Really, 1 don't know," he said. "Theres just a chance that I may. But I don't think so." "1 would 'if I were you." said Scott with < decision. "Think of 'Finances Why, man, it wouid al most be worth it if se were an ogress! And she isn't that." "No," said Scarborough. "dhe isn't. She's a girl in trouble. Shout to me if either of those men turn up. I'm going to my room for a hat.' The note which had caused this sud- den commotion in the Instrument room, and had driven away complete ly Scarborough's mood of despondency, was from Elsa. "I want your help. Can you mect-me on the road to the Caldefra? 1am bicye ling." That was all, but the receipt of it had put new, life and hope into him. For what did it mean? In the first place it meant that some new troble had come to the girl, or she would never have asked for his help. He knew how stubborn her pride was, and he felt that if her pride had had to bow to her necessity, the need must be serious. The thought hardly so much as damped his ela tion, for she had appealed fo him that was the important thing! They would fight in common he tceforth, and between them he thought théy had grit enough to conquer, He found her waiting for him about Ralf a mile from the Chinelas. She received him with a curious shrinking, that was unlike her. He thought almost that she avoided look ing in his face. "What is the matter, ed, tenderly. She raised her head, and looked into his eves. She was deathly pale, and she, seemed to be struggling to keep back her tears.

"Yes, 1 thought you did," swered. "YF honored you for it." She shook her head. "You honored ms for my loyalty, and despised me for . my. blindness," she said. "No, don't deny it. I know you did.

Her volce quivered a little, and He under- stood that she had to say these things, but He would not watch her while she sald them, Bhe was quick to ses the delicacy of thought which prompted him to avert his eyes, and she was grateful. Presently in a firiner voice she went on: "I continued to force myself to be lieve in his innocence, to trick myself into a blind disregard of all proofs to the contrary--till yesterday. Yester- day it became impossible to do so any longer." She paused and Scarborough helped her out.

But she shan't! Horace, she shan't!" "Where Is she now?" asked Scar borough. "At the Chinelas?" "No, at an hotel in Ponta Delgada. She went with me to the Ring-Rock yesterday, and afterwards she sald that she was too tired to come back here. She wenl to an hotel, and I came back home alone." "What were you doing at the Ring: Rock?" Elsa harded him the last letter which her father had written to her, saying: "Read that. It will explain." Scarborough read the letter, and though he saw the falseness of it, he pitied the dead man who had written it. Moreover, he understood a little better why it was that Blea had clung 80 firmly (6 hér mistaken faith. To him the falseness 'in the letter was plain, but the love was plain too, for the wretched man had led and strug gled because of It; to his daughter's eyes, therefore, it was natural enough, since she too loved him, that the love alone should be visible. He handed: the letter back to her. "You hid the packet at the Ring-Rock," ba said, "and recovered it yesterday? What did it contain? "Nothing that I had hoped it would contain," said Elsa, sadly. He was silent. He kuew what it was that she had hoped. and how im- possible it had been that her hope should be realized. "There was -a long letter mother," said Elsa, "and a closely written roll of manuscript headed: 'Some Notes on the "Falacics of Her aert Spencer." " "Was that all?" "Yes, excep! a few lines directing that the manuscript was to be sub mitted to the judgment of Mr. Davis, and if he approved, was to be pub. lished. My mother tore It up and threw it into the sea." "What? The note,"you mean!" claimed Scarborough. "The manuscript." sdid Elsa, Scarborough smiled; bit there was no amusement in his smile--ounly pity. The guilty man had spent two vears over that manuscript, had Made it his hobby, perfiaps had dulled the gnawing of conscience by doing what is wi came, and she threw it all into the fea! : in gi (To be Contiuned.) to my ox- rn i To lighten the labor of housewives a' swinging stool has been Snvented that . may be fastemed to a kitchen sink support.'
