Five minutes later Kate Srlby was
standing in II small grove II, the side
of the Douglas mansion watching the
dancers fitting past the long windows
reaching to the ground.
She. could see nearly all oven the
room from where she stood.
All w-rr masked, aud as they moved
IN rhythmical cadence to the music of
the orchestra Kate felt that creepy sen
Sation which the sight of two score peo
pie with hidden faces, but piercing
eyes, 5, often produces.
She turned quickly and-looked into
the face Of ii led h4aldrd. dirty-fae-d
man. with il black eye ami Il livid scar
across his cheek, which aid no. improve
his naturally repulsive appearance.
The man was intoxicated. Kate saw
that at the first glance.
She stepped to one side, with an in
dlynant flash from her gray eyes at the

Then-she never could could tell

man fell fat on his back, while the nt

as The brown WOODEN, rope girdle
and white fist resolved themselves into
Il Capuchin trlar, standing threatening
~ over the red bearded man and uttel
ing the pious benediction with a heart
ness that must have been very sootl

The friar's large, pointed hood had
fallen back. revealing Il bronzed face
with Il brown beard, and two blue eyes
that biazed in the light which fell tul
upon him from the long widows of the
house.
They recognized each other at the
same instant,
"You seem TO be my protecting an

".As is consistent with my sanity
character" he answered. gravely.
May l take you to Mrs. Douglas and
get an introduction T. asked the friar
Of Kate.
The introduction resulted in Miss
Sclby finding that the friar's name was
Morton.
But she calls him Fred now.
