A t once she suspects that her grim ? r d relentless grandfather, Lucas Cul len, senior, has had the murder com mitted. Old Cullen had been filled v it h anger and fea r when he learned that Loutrelle had entered these north ern Michigan woods to go to the Rock. Ethel and Loutrelle were drawn to gether by close mutual interests. In London he had received in a seance, messages from Ethel's father, who had been killed in France. These mes sages instructed him to proceed to Resurrection Rock, a trip which he hoped would clear up his obscure parentage. l.utas Cullen had been guilty o f violent crim es in early days and fear w as driving him to violence. Ethel fu riou sly accuses her grandfather o f instructing Kincheloe to shoot Lou trelle. GO ON W ITH T H E STORY. C H A P T E R V II.-- (Cont'd.) " Oh, I had Kincheloe do something out there, did I ? " Lucas demanded. Ethel could not answer him fo r the suffocation in her breast; muscles seemed to be tugging tight all through her " Barney Loutrelle's been made aw ay w ith! K illed !" she cried. " H ey? You saw him dead?" " N o ; but -- " " H i v e you enough shame left to realize what you have ju st been say in g to m e?" he assailed her, raising iiis hand clenched but fo r his huge forefinger with which he threatened her. " Kincheloe has killed your fine friend o f the train, Barney Loutrelle, you said. I had him do it! E h? Eh? Say to me, do you mean that?" " Y e s !" " E h? So Kincheloe-- and I had him do it -- killed your Barney Loutrelle, you believe?" " Y e s !" He jerked his wrist out o f her grasp and stepped back, looking down at her and laughing. " 1 must have Miss Platt hear you," he said, when he was through laugh in g `` And your grandm other." He stepped to the door and, opening it, called first for Miss Platt and then fo r his wife. " Now we will all hear your opin ions," her grandfather said,; and, be fore the others, he made her accuse Kincheloe and him self again. Then he went once more to the door. " Lieutenant Loutrelle!" he called. "M r. Barney Loutrelle, will you step in h ere!" He was not dead! She opened her eyes to see him in the doorw ay; he entered and came toward her, speak ing to her. Everything wavered abo'it him ; but he did not waver in her sight. She cried out-- or whispered-- something in reply to the words he was saying. She, knew neither what she said nor how she said it. Her grandfather was grabbing at her, saying som ething; and Miss Platt was addressing h er; but Ethel heeded neither o f them. "I thought you w ere-dead!" she was explaining to him. " You see, I thought they had Killed you." " I came to find you as early as 1 dared," he told her. " I came here just to see you. They told me you would be down soon. I had no idea you had gone out." » " I went to the Rock fo r you. You see, I thought they had hurt you and-- " Her grandfather interrupted them loudly; he ordered h er to go a t o n c e to her room ; but she disregardetrWTTT. " Leave her alone!" Barney Lou trelle broke in. " Leave her alon e!" he repeated, putting him self between her and her grandfather. " She has something to say to m e; and I have much to tell her. I came to see her. You can give us this room, or we will go ou t; w on't we, Miss Carew?" he asked her. " Y es," she said. " Y es." " W h at?" her grandfather threaten ed. " W hat? You think you will go with this-- this-- " he stopped with a snort o f contempt. But he was not feelin g contempt, Ethel saw as she watched him. " I can forg iv e your imbecility and madness. God helping me, I can fo r give m y child's child even what she has said to me this day. But disobey me again and I shall never forgive you. N ow g o ; g o to your room and go to your knees, and later, when you are yourself, I shall send fo r you." She gazed only an instant longei at her grandfather before looking up at the friend at her side. " I am ready to go with you," she said. C H A P T E R V III. She crossed the threshold, which her grandfather had forbidden her, and went to the fron t door. Barney fo l lowed and closed the door behind them. A s briefly as possible she told Bar ney w hat follow ed her arrival at St. Florentin and she received in return fu ll report from Barney. H e had stopped at Wheedon's in the afternoon, and there had learned that the man named Bagley had arriv ed a day earlier and exhibited a letter from M arcellus Clarke which author ized him to obtain the keys to the house on Resurrection Rock. Last night B agley served a good supper, and afterw ard Barney w an dered about the Rock while Bagley was still clearing up in the dining room. Barney came indoors and was tryin g again to read when he heard a shot in the direction o f the shore and going to the door, he thought he also heard cries. H e went ashore and wandered about fo r nearly an hour before returning to find the Rock dark and the house sh u t A fte r try in g to aro use Bagley, he went ashore OTCS rilofe to find that Bagley already had arrived at W heedon's and-was de termined to rem ain there. He had had " enough" he explained to Barney as he previously had in form ed W heedon; that w as the extent ! o f the explanation he made. He was | (/| jnarc| 's Liniment for Grippe and Flu. going h o m e ^ Chicago on the earliest train. " I th o u g li they had killed you," Ethel saidr- " But o f course it was some one \4fo arrived at the Rock after B a g le j had shut you out and you had followed him to W heedon's." " Y es; I tPink that's pretty clear," Barney agreed. " But who was he?" `` My grandfather knows, o f course," Ethel said. " That telegram from my Uncle I ucas in Chicago, which A sa brought when we were at dinner, told my grandfather who he was and what his presence m eant You see, after that wp had prayers and grandfather sent Kincheloe out again, and grandfather waited in his house with his rifle loaded. He wasn't sure whether Kin cheloe, or the other man, was coming back frmn the Rock to his house." " W hat are we in, you and I? " she asKed, ^uddenly shivering. I!e put his hands steadvingly upon her arm " I got you into it," he ac cused himself. " You know I'd no idea what it would Jo to you, or I'd turned tack yesterday." " I think there's surely something to he found oat in C h ica g o" B irn cy sairl when Ethel stated her deter.ninac;cn to go thare at once. " Bag'.sy's back there: and Marcellus Clarke ha.-his office there." " And Uncle Lucas is th ere--or he was when he sent that telegram last night warning grandfather. But of course, he'll be with grandfath er; I'll learn nothing from him, if he can help it." She gave him her hand in good-bye. C H A P T E R IX As the train bore Ethel away from Resurrection Rock and from Barney Loutrelle, the girl debated in her mind the task which confronted her on her ?rrival and vaguely wished that Cou sin Agnes, Mrs. Oliver Cullen as she tiad been known in Chicago society before her tragic disappearance from the torpedoed Gallantic, were alive to aid her. About Agnes there had been some thing o f a mystery as well as an at traction to Ethel. Cousin Agnes first came to Chicago as a girl, she told those who asked her. Previously she had lived in a small town and no one --not even the many newspaper inter viewers-- got farth er than that. It was plain that, not long befor* her employment in the Cullen offices, she had passed through some extra01 dinary expedience which had tre mendously sapped her vitality. She had endured some frigh tfu l ordeal ,&hich tenis&££i'ily had dow n ed her, but had not beaten her. Many men offered themselves to take up her battle fo r her. But only Oliver Cullen, after his fifth or sixth attempt, succeeded in offering him self aright. John died and Oliver " the damned weakling" and his upstart w ife, who hs.d been a stenographer, claimed from Lucas and his stronger, fa r more able sons, the control o f the Cullen corporations which ownership old John's stock implied. Lucas fought and blustered; but Oliver asserted the con trol; or, rather, Agnes did. For Lucas and his sons did not remain long in doubt regard ing the force with which they had to dea l! nor did outsiders remain ignor ant. So they grinned and bore it while they watched Oliver gradually sink into invalidism and year follow year with Agnes childless. There was an old contract, which Lucas, Senior, had safely locked away, by which he and his brother had MOUNT ROYAL T h e p op u la rity o f th is ~ h o s te lr y ts ev iden ced in th e ra et th at g u e sts in v a r ia b ly retu rn to the ulount R o y a l.

In September, 1918, those conditions seemed completely fulfilled; fo r Agnes, who had gone heart and soul into war work, sailed aboard a ship which was torpedoed; and she was lost. The news reached Oliver on the eighteenth; and on the twenty-second, he died. But Agnes, as though to torment Lucas even after her death, had pass ed on in the most annoying w ay poss{ble. Though it was obvious that she had drowned, yet no one actually had seen her drown. Since she was not legally dead, her aome remained open. Mrs. W ain, her housekeeper, and her servants were at the house, which they were keeping m order as though Mrs. Oliver Cullen were away merely on a visit. It was to Cousin A gn es' home that Ethel went a fter an unsuccessful at tempt to discover any knowledge o f Bagley. M arcellus Clark, she learned, was in Europe and no one a t his office could disclose inform ation o f Bagley or the reasons w hy the frightened steward had been sent to the lonesome bouse on Resurrection Rock. But a shock awaited her when she entered her cousin's home and was s^ree^d by the housekeeper. (T o be continued.)
