Standing there before her, hare
headed, his slightly tanned face strong
oad manly, his gray eves fllicd with
bumor, Miss Maclaire recognised
ageln that he was net of the com

Rher nature obtained mastery What
barm could #t do for her to chat with
Mm for half an hour? It was better
than eating a lonely meal, and, beo

value to report to Hawley Her owa

“You are certainly aa fllustration of
your theory” she sald pleasantly. “1
ohall have te say ves, but, really, 1 did
Rot suppose you would enjoy being
ranked among that clase”
He d@rew out a chalr and «at down

upen the Intervening table
“Nor would 1, only | recognize you

your information 's a bit polluted,
Miss Maclaire There are tho<e whose

should not form veur decistons on the

“Oh, indeed.” rather resenting the
words, and already regretful of her
eempliance. “Surely 1 have as much
reason to trust my informamnt as |
have vou. He, at least, has provea
himself @ friend.”
“l wish I could feel as fully assurd®
of that as you de,” he returned honest

“Some mere of Mr. Hawley's fan

much should be suspected. “Have you
seen her?”
“Why, of course. 1 am a woman,
Mr. Keith, with all the natural curl
ocity of my sex. In this case 1 had
epecial reason te be interested. One
does not meet her counterpart every
day”
“The resemblance betweem you 8
certainly most striking.”
“Sufficlently sO.” she sald slowly,
ber eves om his face, “to abundantly
confirm nmy mind the truth of all
that has been told me ™
The walter approached with the on
@ers, and the two remained in sllence
until he had deposited his load upom
the table and departed She was
watching the face opposite through
lowered lashes that veiled her eyes,
but Keith was first to break the still-

“T wish 1 might bde told what that

“To what do you refer? apparent

“Yet,” he Insisted earnestly, “If this
fs all straight, with no fraud conceal

your hands, why are yvou afraid to talk
epenly? The very manner In which
Hawley works should convince you
be is himeelf afraid to face the truth™
*“No, you are wrong. There are per
fectly satisfactory reasons why we
should for the present keep our plans
secret. There are detalls yet to be de
