protestation, would he required to
Bhake- her belief in the accunuy of the

"Dickson engineered It. Dickson laid
the plans and that I know. I swear to

He paused long, enough to make
sure she believed hlrA; then strove to
sweep her off her feet with a torrent
of words, ‘ '»
"Your father had found Dickson out

prevent his being guardian. Dickson

Ear a moment, she did not answer.
"Yes. I've known for some time that

I should marry him.” i

she answered. "And tonight—that hor

"Indeed! Ho hasn’t!" Raccodr Ann

”1 would .have wrestled him," Rag-*

so targe that he easily pushed all/of

that he has all the doors locked, we
cannot get back Inside."
"And now the Zumfcee has estelh alt
the breakfast and has gone to sleep
with his muddy feet right oa Mrs.,
Mlngle’s nloe .clean white bed.” Rag
gedy Ann said after she had run over
and peeked into'a window.
"And I am getting hungrier and
hungrier every minuter* lira Mingle

But, there 'was nothing the Rag

felt sorry. V

Indeed, there was a. loud radket in

Like this “Bang, wTisbl- 'Bump!
Bang!" only a grant deal louder. -
“Maybe the Zumsee ate so much <1t
made his tummy ache and he ts jump
ing about and breaking up the furni
ture!" Raggedy Andy said.
“Oh, no, tt/couldn't be that!'* Mrs.
Mingle replied, ' "AH the food was
magic food and would never give any

DlcksoaJo when you saw through the

“But the man had deceived Mr.
Dickson. Mr. Dickson was surprised
i when I pointed out that he was not
you—and indignant." - /*
“Dickson wouldn't be mistaken by a
man who bore a resemblance to me,
however extraordinary the resemblance
was. To my cost, he knows me only
too well." * < e
"Then you mean—Mr. Dickrfon wad
only pretending?" ' ,
, "I mean he wanted to stop your,
thinking about me for goods and all
by getting you to believe I had. mar

go on talking here. They'll be back
Mon. t want to take you out of. thp
.house Before they get back. Will you
come? My car la waiting outside, tfllf
you come?”
With the 'that words there had o<ept
Into his voice a note of passionate
pleading. In his, eyes unsuspected by
himself, gfowed the light that Is only
kindled In a man by the woman whom
destiny has marked-obt for his mate
—a light at once of courage and hu
mility. of tendreness and desire.
She looked up and looking, reading
the truth about herkelf and him—a
truth that rode roughshod'over a hun
dred misunderstandings, that stamped
, out the memory of heartburnings and
banished all perplexities. In that, mo
ment .her spirit yielded tflf him/ and
her-lov* w*a /he on* reality In Ilf*.
She made an Impulsive gesture to
wards him and the next Instant he
had taken her in his arms..
"I don't think I mind anything—now
I know you still want to nfhrry me.*
she breathed. "Take me away, Derek,
and teach me to forget everything ex
cept that you want me.""
Be released her and dragged his
thoughts from their sweet djxslness.
“My darling! And you ate content
to ask nothing as yet? O, my wise
love! Quick!—just a tew things In
a handbag. Don’t stay to do anx paek
“ jY
Ing. Leave everything. Run! Run!
She was hurrying up the etalrs. He
stood looking, after her until she hat},
turned the aimer of the landing.
"Now (hat 1 know you want to marry
me.” Tn the( midst of a mage of lies,
of subterfuges and Impostures,' that
alone was a sterling truth. And yet—
Could there be a greater teachery
to their love than to marry her? In
little more than forty Jpnurifhls man
hood would have’ vanished as If at the.
touch of a wlfch’e wand and he would
be a nameless convict languishing Ip a
cell. He must' tell her he could not
marty her. She wl* coming down the
stairs, her face lovely as % wild rose
with He flush of haste and happtneea.
.He must aay It to no^r. And Car
sfde— -
“Splendid!" he said Instead, snatch
ed the handbdg from her hand and his
arm about her waist, led her from the
house and lifted her into the car.
As the car glided forward Slake
ham had not the faintest Idea where
he was going. Cecily wa* by his side
and that thought .threatened to drive
out all others. Nevertheless, the posi
tion had to be faced. She had entrust
ed her safety and her honor alike to
his keeping. She had asked no ques
tions. Her faith In him was abso
lute. . —
He could take her to hi* mother at
Slakpham Tower*. But that would take
sonle four or five hours In the tar.
Bight hours, nearly nine, before „he
could be beek. Long before that Dick
son and Carslde would have forced the
e-xfe and have found he Had tricked
them and left the house. And Ifttyat
were to happen Dickson's susplaWhs as
to his Identity, taught be aroused.
Aunt Emmeflne of course! He swery
ed up a side street, then doubled back
into the main artery. An Illuminated
einoir tnM him It war a auatrer to
eleven. He could be at her flat In
Kensington by eleven.
"We are going to Aunt Emmeline'*.”
he toldJier. "I've never told you about
Aunt Emmeline.. She'a Lady Maoul.
She'* my mother"* *l»ter and one of
the beat, though a wee bit dullish.
She'a a widow, you know."
Her reply, If she made any. was In
audible through the humr'of the en
gine and the clatter of the surrounding
traffic. /
He was driving now as fast as he
dared. Aun? Emmeline wa* eminently
suittd for the Job of chaperon, he re
flected, except in one particular. It was
highly probable she had gone to be^
arid it was not the easiest thing In
the world to rouse an elderly lady
from bed*- even If one happened to be
her favorite nephew.
Beyond this he anticipated no par
ticular difficulty from Aunt Emmeline.
He would tell a story of his sudden
return from Africa and explain that he
and Cecily—
He would of course, have to explain
that he and Cecily were about to get
married.
He bad been mad to think of Aunt
Emmeline. Better, even now to
change the plan and put Cecily In some
staid, respectable hotel for the night.
And let Dickson find her!... .Dickson
could not possibly find her.
But Dickon had shown himself to
be an extffmely clever and resource
ful crook. He would be capable of pre
tending lo the police that he feared for
her safety—spin them a yarn about ,hl*
war<J .having a sudden lapse of mem
ory. Her description would be circu
lated—and then the hotel would com*
forward. g

terfly. "The birds and animals mis
