Helen was thoiiKht to have been at home.
Gillespie admitted giving Helen JJ0.000 for
Jier father, who had then left to spend it.
Miss Helen and Donovan met In the

ast. I must have on turn before the
princess goes back to her castle!"
jma Kosauaa took my arm.
"Meet me at the landing In two mln
tltes, Gillespie! As a special favor
as a particular kindness I shall allow
you to take the princess home!" And
I hurried Rosalind away, regained the
blue cloak and flung It about her.
"Well," she said, drawing the hood
over her head, "who am I now, any
how ! "
"Don't ask me such questions! I'm
afraid to say."
"I like your air of business. You
are undoubtedly a man of action!"
"I thank you for the word. I'm
breathing hard. I have seen ghosts
and comnmtiic iled with dragons. She's
here! Your alter eso is on this very
.veranda mute angry than It is well
for a wouuiti t-. be."
"Oh," sh-. filtered, "she found out
and followed?"
"She diii; -sti undoubtedly did!"
As we ji.ius- ! under one of the ver
anda lam;s sjio looked down at the
cloak and Implied.
"So this U U ts! I thought It didn't
feel quite tUht. Hut that pair of
gloves!"
"It's in my ;ocket. I have stolen
It!" I led th- way to the lower veran
da of the casino, which was now de
serted. "Stay riht here and appear
deerly intete.sf el in the heavens above
and the water? under the earth until
I get back."
1 ran up the stairs again and found
tHelen where I bad left her.
, "And now." I said, giving her my
arm," you i wilt uot forget the rules of
the game! Your fortunes and your
father's an brighter to-night- than
they have ever been. You hate me
to the point of desperation, but re
member I ana your friend after all."
"ou are coutemptible and wicked!"
she dared. "lift us go."
Gillespie's Imnch was ready when
we reached roe pier, and after he had
handed her into It he plucked my
sleeve, and hel l me for an Instant
"Don't you see how wrong you are!
She 13 superb! She Is not only the
most beautiful girl in the world, but
the dearest, the sweetest, the kindest
and best. You have served me better
than you kn iwr, old man, and I'm
grateful!"
In a moment they were well under
way and I ran back to the clubhouse
and found Rosalind where I had left
her.
"We must go at once." she said.
Tather will b- very anxious to know
how It all came out."
"But what did you think of But

"Is that all! It doesn't seem con

"Oh, he's very kind and gentle, and

"You seemed to be a very cheerful

excitement that kept you going."

"I Like You,
and I think we have done a good
night's work for everybody concerned.
But tell me, did he make love ac
ceptably?" "I suppose that was what he was
doing, sir," she replied, demurely,
averting her head.
"Suppose?" I laughed.
"Yes; you see, it was my first ex
perience. And he is really verv nice.
and so honest and kind and gentle
that I felt sorry for him."
"Ah! You were sorry for him! Then
it's all over. I'm clear out of It When
a woman's is sorry for a man tchk!
But tell me, how did his advances com
pare with mine on those occasions
when we met over there by St. Aga
tha's? I did my best to be entertain
ing." "Oh, he is much more earnest than
you ever could be. I never had any
illusions about you. Mr. Donovan. You
just amuse yourself with the nearest
girl, and, besides, for a long time you
thought I was Helen. Mr. Gillespie
is terribly in earnest. When he was
talking to me back there in the corner
I didn't remember at all that it was
he who drove a goat-team in Central
park to rebuke the policeman!"
"No; I suppose with the stage prop
erly set with the music and the stars
and the water one might forget Mr.
Gillespie's mild idiosyncrasies."
"But you haven't told me about Hel
en. Of course she saw through the
trick at once."
"She did;" I answered. In a tone
that caused Rosalind to laugh.
"Well, you wouldn't hurt poor little
me if she scolded you!"
We were on the pier, and I whistled
to Ijima to bring up the launch. In
a moment we were skimming over the
lake toward the Tippecanoe.
Arthur Holbrook was waiting for us
in the creek.
"It is all right," I said. "I shall
keep the papers for the present,. if you
don't mind, but your troubles are near
ly over." And I left Rosalind laugh
ingly explaining to her father how it
came about that she had gone to the
casino in a scarlet cloak but had re
turned In a blue one.
CHAPTER XXII.
Mr. Gillespie's Diversions.
In my own room I drew the blinds
for greater security, lighted the desk
lamp and sat down before the packet
Gillespie had given Rosalind. It was
a brown commercial envelope, thrice
sealed, and addressed: "R. Gillespie;
Personal." In a corner was written
"Holbrook Papers." I turned the pack
et over and over In my hands, reflect
ing upon my responsibility and duty in
regard to it. Henry Holbrook. In his
anxiety to secure the notes, had taken
advantage of Gillespie's infatuation for
Helen to make her his agent for pro
curing them, and now it was for me to
use the forged notes as a means of re
storing Arthur Holbrook fn his ctctora
confidence. The war seemed rlar
enough, and I went to bed resolving
that in the morning I should go to
Henry Holbrook. tell him that I had
the evidence of his euflt in mv
aion and threaten him with exposure
u ne aid not cease his mad efforts to
blackmail his sister. . . -

. . wwuuasiea. a storm
had passed round ns In the night and
u was bright and cool, with a sharp
Larry I
wind beating the lake into tiny white
caps. It was not yet eight o'clock
when I left the house for my journey
in search of Henry Holbrook. The
envelope containing the forged notes
was safely locked in the vault in
which the Glenarm silver was stored.
As I stepped down into the park I
caught sight of Miss Pat walking in
the garden beyond the wall, and as I
lifted my cap she came toward the
iron gate. She was rarely abroad so
early and I imagined that she had been
waiting for me.
"You are abroad early, my lord,"
she said, with the delicious quaint
mockery with which she sometimes
flattered me. And she repeated the
lines:
Hast thou seen ghosts? Hast thou at mid
night heard
In the wind's talking an articulate word?
Or art thou in the secret of the sea.
And have the twilight woods confessed
to thee?
"No such pleasant things have hap
pened to me. Miss Holbrook."
"This is my birthday. I have
crowned myself; observe the cap!"
"We must celebrate! I crave the
privilege of dining you to-night."
"You were starting for somewhere
with an air of determination. Don't
let me interfere with your plans."
"I was going to the boathouse," I
answered, truthfully.
"Let me come along. I am turned
65, and I think I am entitled to do as
I please; don't you?"
"I do, indeed, but that is no reason.
You are no more 65 than I am. The
cap, if you will pardon me, only pro
claims your immunity from the blasts
of Time."
"I wish I had known you at 20," she
said, brightly, as we went on together.
"My subjection could not have been
more complete."
"Do you make speeches like that to
Helen?"
"If I do it is with less inspiration!"
"You must stop chaffing me. I am
not 65 for nothing and I don't think
you are naturally disrespectful."
When we reached the boathouse she
took a chair on the little veranda and
smiled as though something greatly
amused her.
"Mr. Donovan I am 65, as I have
said before may I call you "
"Larry! and gladden me forever!"
"Then, Larry, what a lot of frauds
we all are!"
"I suppose we are," I admitted,
doubtfully, not sure where the joke
lay.
"You have been trying to be very
kind to me, haven't you?"
"I have accomplished nothing."
"You have tried to make my way
easy here; and you have had no end
of trouble. I am not as dull as I look,
Larry."
"If I have deceived you it has been
with an honest purpose."
"I don't question that. But Helen
has been giving you a great deal of
trouble, hasn't she? You don't aulte
mak her out; isn't that true?"
a unaersiana ner perfectly, I
averred, recklessly.
"You are a daring- young man, Lar
ry, to make that statement of any
woman. Helen has not alwaws r!pit
honestly with you or me!" , .
She Is the noblest girl In the
world; she Is splendid beyond any
words of mine. I dont understand
-Larry, you dear dot. I am
blind or deal than I am dumbl Helen
has been seeing r father and Reg
inald Gillespie. She has run off at
night, thinking I wouldn't know it.
She is an extremely clever young
woman, but when she has made a feint
of retiring early, only to creep out and
drop down from the dining room bal
cony and dodge your guards, I have
known it. She was away last night
and came creeping in like a thief, it
has amused me, Larry; it has fur
nished me real diversion. The only
thing that puzzles me is that I don't
quite see where you stand."
"I haven't always been sure myself,
to be frank about it!"
"Why not tell me just how it is:
Whether Helen has been amusing her
self with you, or you with Helen."
"Oh!" I laughed. "When you came
here you told me she was the finest
girl in the world, and I accepted your
word for it. I have every confidence
in your judgment, and you have known
your niece for a long time."
"I have, indeed."
"And I'm sure you wouldn't have de
ceived me!"
"But I did! I wanted to interest
you in her. Something in your eye
told me that you might do great things
for her."
"Thank you!"
"But Instead of that you have played
into her hands. Why did you let her
steal out at night to meet her father,
when you knew that could only do her
and me a grave injury? And you have
aided her in seeing Gillespie, when I
particularly warned you that he was
most repugnant to me."
I laughed in spite of myself as I re
membered the night's adventure; and
Miss Pat stopped short in the path and
faced me with the least glint of anger
in her eyes.
"I really didn't think you capable of
it! She will marry him for his
money!"
"Take my word for it. she will do
nothing of the kind."
"You are under her spell, and you
don't know her! I think sometimes
I think the girl has no soul!" she
said at last.
The dear voice faltered, and the
tears flashed into Miss Pat's eyes as
she confronted me in the woodland
path.
"Oh, no! It's not so bad as that!" I
pleaded.
"I tell you she has no soul! You
will find It out to your cost. She Is
made for nothing but mischief in this
world!"
"I am your humble servant, Miss
Holbrook."
"Then," she began, doubtfully, and
meeting my eyes with careful scrutiny,
"I am going to ask you to do one thing
more for me, that we may settle all
this disagreeable affair. I am going to
pay Henry his money; but before I do.
so I must find my brother Arthur, If
he is still alive. That may have some
difficulties."
She looked at me as' though for ap
proval; then went on:
"I have been thinking of all these
Her gaze lay across the twinkling
lake, and her voice was tremulous.
She spoke softly as though to herself,
and I caught phrases of the paragraph
of her father's will that Gillespie had
read to me: "Dishonor as it is known,
accounted and reckoned among men;"
and she bowed her head and on the
veranda rail a moment; then she rose
suddenly and smiled bravely through
her tears.
"Why can t you find Arthur for me?
Ah, if you could only find him there
might be peace between us all; for I
am very old, Larry. Age without
peace is like life without hope. I
cannot believe that Arthur is dead. I
must see him again. Larry, if he is
alive find him and tell him to come
to me."
"Yes," I said; T know where he is!"
She started in amazement and, com
ing close, her hands closed upon my
arm eagerly.
"It can't be possible! You know
where he Is and you will bring him
to me?"
She was pitifully eager and the tears
were bright in her eyes.
"Be assured of it, Miss Holbrook. He
is near by and well; but you must not
trouble about him or about anything.
And now I am going to take you home.
Cornel There is much to do, and I
must be off. But you will keep a good
heart ; you are near the end of your
difficulties."
She was quite herself again when
we reach St. Agatha's, but at the door
she detained me a moment. ;
"I like you, Larry!" she said, taking
my hand; and my own mother had not
given me sweeter benediction. "I
never intended that Helen should play
with you. ' She may serve me as she
likes, hut I don't want her to singe
your wings. Larry."

LEWIS' "SINGLE BINDER."
A hand-made cigar fresh from the
table, wrapped in foil, thus keeping
fresh until smoked. A fresh cigar
made of good tobacco is the ideal
smoke. The old, well cured tobaccos
used are so rich in quality that many
who formerly smoked 10c cigars now
smoke Lewis' Single Binder Straight
5c. Lewis' Single Binder costs the
dealer some more than other 5c cigars,
hut the higher price enables this fac
tory to use extra quality tobacco.
There are many imitations; don't be
fooled. There is no substitute! Tell

persons who desire to be treated in
tuberculosis sanatoria. When the hos

tuberculosis hospitals or sanatoria for
every 1,200 inhabitants, a fact which

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the Us
eaoed portion ot the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition ot tba
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can bs
taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition ot the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case ot
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured
