When he had paid his hoard Mrs Min-ningstar. under the effect of his extra fees for her conniving in his dis guise. had thawed so far as to volun- foer the promise that she would ac- munt to the young ladies for his dc- parture by saying that the farmhand had been discharged because of the inconvenient and uneconomical fre- quency of his headaches. He wonder- ed whether in his absence any acci- dental hints would be dropped as to his preteiniied character. He could not think without a growing uneasiness of the fast approaching reopening of the college. when he would have to meet Miss Ellery and Miss Parks as Dr. Kiuross of the faculty. It was when he was nearing the end of his journey that some indistinct ap- prehensions which had been vaguely troubling him began to assume defl- nite shape and the realization to dawn on him that perhaps he had been rash in coming away and leaving Eunice in ignorance, even for a week, of her possible good fortune. Goodness knows what she might do in this‘ week of his absence. Abe was evidently very des- perately in love with her. and the Morningstars, in their dire chagrin at being obliged to pay over to her that $3.0M), might drive her to the point of marrying Abe in self defense. as it were. Of course it was only her utter ignorance of life that made her tolero ate Abe. though even that did not seem to excuse such bad taste. Fancy Miss Wolcott receiving Abe Morning- star as her nephew-in-law! The picâ€" ture made him laugh aloud. IIe consoled himself with the reflec‘ tion that if Eunice did not come into the money it would probably be far better for her. and it was only by rea« son of his sense of justice that he was trying to place her in command of the great wealth that txélonged to her. He himself was remarkably free from the money madness of the age. He had always had more than enough for his needs, but not enough to spoil him, and had therefore gone throu'gh life, thus far, escaping the mania for accumulat- ing wealth. his story and trying to school himself against too great hiuntness in the deli- cate matter he .had to handle. He rather took it out of the porch turni- ture‘before Miss Wolcott made her ap- pearance. for in stt’lding about he pushed things ruthlessly out of his way. nearly upsetting a spindle legged table holding a slender use of rose- nnd making a. stool noisily collide with another Jtah’le coveredowith books and magazines. The wearing doubt as to whether Miss Wolcott could be brought to ac- knowledge Eunice as her niece and recognize her claims was never absent from his mind for an instant. At times he felt that he was going on a fool‘s errand. If. at the time the Daniels wrote to her, she had not even tried to see the child to prove or disprove their story, how could be hope that now. after all these years, she would conâ€" cede what was so much against her own interests? “Her money may quite spoil the at- tractiveness she now has in her sim- plicity. her perfect naturalness, when one is alone with her. Just the anti- podes of Georgiana! There couldn’t be a more extreme pontrast of character. Georgiana is a personified pose. If she ever did a spontaneous thing in my presence. ever made an unstudied remark, I think I’d fall in love with her on the spot!” £19.33, wonderfug tor the hundredth time how he could most convincingly relatq “If only I were a diplomat instead of ‘a blunt, plain man’ 1 might lead up to my story so prettily and persuasively that before she knew it she’d be burna ing to illustrate artistically the beauty of self sacrifice in her own person.

Iler complexion was distressingly florid. her move- ments were ungracel‘ul and her voice had an unpleasant sharpness. Kin- ross felt his already faint hopes fail him entirely as he realized the gen- eral hardness of her aspect. He pinned his case upon what he believed he recognized in her countenance. in spite of its coldness~an uprightness of character that perhaps justified. some- !iai. her pride of blood. ”It is good to see you again.

I told him he would never meet any but old ac- quaintances at my house. In our circle we don‘t meet the new people. for- tunateiy.” This was a good beginning. certainly. “But what a tragic deprivation to the neanpeople!” he remarked. with a per- functory smile intended to take the edge off his sarcasm. “No. . I was‘in Florida at the time of the accident and did not get back in time for the funeral.” The woman had turned white and was looking dazed. “Let- me begin with a question. Tell me, were you perfectly convinced at the time of your brother's death that his :llttle daughter was with him and died with him? Did you ever have any doubts about it?" She looked surprised at his sudden seriousness and waited, with what pa- tience she could command, for him to go on. He rose and walked the length of “Did you see the dead child who was Identified as yggr niece?” the piazza, then came back and stood before her. “I an: very stupid. I don’t know how to begin it." Her eyes opened wide in amazement “Of course not!” “But you must really wait a few mo- ments longer. I must not be precipi- tate. That’s the one thing I’ve been telling myself all the way herebnot to be precipitate, but to break it to you gently, to lead up to it diplomatically. i'lletorlcally. if possible. Unfortunate- ly my style was ever a la cookbook- dlrect and to the point.” “Dear me! Well, do adhere to your customary style and spare me the rhetoric. I prefer to hear your news or whatever it is in your most Saxon form.” “The shock might be too great.” This was not at all as he had meant to steer his communication, for no one could have felt more earnestly the gravity of what he had come to com- municate, and his chafl'ing was far from expressing his true mood, but he felt that his case was lost already, that rhetoric could not save it, and his tongue ran away with him. “It's something ‘shocking,’ then?” Inâ€" quired Miss Wolcptt. “That depends on how you look at “Well? Do hurry, please.” “Miss Wolco " he said solemnly, “I’m afraid what I have to tell you will not be welcome news." “Gracious, Peter. you’re not thinking of proposing to me, are you 7" “If you dc‘m’t say it soon.

"No one. man or woman, need per- mit himself to fall in love outside of his own station in life,” she said dog- matically, “or if he is so, weak let him mnquer himself.” Miss Wolcott abruptly changed thp subject. “I am aware,” she said stimy. “that you do not share my strong feelings about such things.” “Such bohemian views are unworthy of your blood.” she said with grave rcproachfuiness. “I hope you don’t go so far as to be willing to marry out of your rank?” Kinross smiled and was silent. He would not argue. “No. I draw the line there. I‘m not willing to marry out of my rank-nor yet in it. I’m quite unwilling to marry at all.” “You haven’t been an easy prey.” she admitted. “How have you managed to escape falling in love all these years?” “No." he said, “I’d associate with the .luvil if I foundhim interesting.” “m child was not with her tether. lb Wolcott.” m- Woicott at upright. her hand. clutching the sides of her chelr. . “Well?” she half gasped. “that child is living.” “lmpoulhle!” she exclaimed sharply. “She is alive," repeated Klnmss. . “Alive!

What a question to ask !” iHe took from his pocket '21 long en- velope and drew from it a manuscript. It was the “confession.” “Perhaps. after all, this wlll be the best way to tell you." He handed it to her. “Read it, please, whlle I wait.” He rose and walked to the farthest end of the piazzaâ€"while she, with flu- gers that shook, unfolded the paper. “You believe this story?” Her ques- tions were abrupt and sharp. “I do. Do you ?" “I am open to conviction. And you would tell me that this paper remained undiscovered all these years and that my niece has been kept by this farm- er’s family, knowing nothing of her origin? You say you met her at this farm?” Her face grew whiter as she hsndled them. and her v ice was not steady when she spoke a in. “0h!

He told her briefly of his summer nt the farm and of his investigation of the haunted room. He did not. how- ever, mention his nightly seances with Eunice. Miss Wolcott was nothing if not conventional. Kinross knew that he did an uubusl. mess-like thing in letting the paper Miss Woleott. leave his own hands, but Miss Wol- cott was an old family friend, and when it came to the point he found himself quite unable to ofl'er her the discourtesy of handing her the copy of the original document which he had brought with him for that purpose. ‘- She was white to the lips as they sat down again together, but she was a woman of strong will, and her voice was steady when she spoke to 0 e e!
