CHAPTER III.
WELLING.s ADDRESS.

7 might write a chapter at this point with
no more difficulty than the setting down
of so many words, that should contain
nothing but my conjectures and my at
tennis to view the problem in every pos
sible light: but it is my purpose to tell
what happened. rather than what 1
thought about it, to set forth the actual
facts rather than to suggest others that
might have accounted for the situation.
So let il be understood that l was puz-
zled. and that I theorized in the most APP
proved style while I went about what APP
peared to be the one course Of action de-
manded by the circumstances so far as 1
knew them.
My first step was to the telephone in the
drug store to which I had not dared TO
resort earlier for fear that the postman
would come along while I sat at IL. l rang
up nv office and directed Carberry, the
most pertinacious shadow I ever knew, to
look up Roger yelling I gave him the
address saw on Miss Lucy's letter for
there was no doubt that she wrote it
a purchase of a special delivery stamp by
myself making it easy to learn that she
had recently bought one-and told Car
berry 10 learn every lIllE dupAL w flllll-f

report to me early. Then I returned 10
Barnabys. Before going in I made
thorough examination Of the ground i'm the
neighborhood of the library window. 1t
was thickly turfed, and as 1 anticipated.
did not yield me a clew of any description.
A dozen men might have stood there dur
ing the night and no mark would have
been left to betray the fact. / searched
in vain for any slight scratch upon the
side of the house or window ledge that
might have been suggestive. That one
could have raised the window from with
out I proved by doing so myself an act
that brought old Barnaby hurrying across
the room in excitement
ooh, it's you, is it," he said; " wor-
dered what had become of you"

anything happened?"

account of her absence
I had lost interest in Lizzie. but I let him

about her conduct. Then ] casually in

shut herself i'm her room. She obstinately

his calling at this tine unless the call
had something to do with the suit.
Ii proved that yelling was interested
in a suit of quite another character
When Lucy returned 10 the study her
face showed unmistakable signs OF
disCOmposure
What did 2Oger want?' Mr.. Bar
neby sharply asked.
After a moment of hesitation Lucy
answered in low. steady voice: He
asked me TO be his wife father

brief silence before Mr.. Barnaby adj
ded: 'What can ne be thinking Of,

posed in way that should have ludi~

good and all: but her father saw fit TO

he felt that his daughter deserved en-
couragement in her habit of refusing
suitors.

approyinsly; marriage is for those
who

the girl exclaimed with a curiously sig
niicant accent on him that made old
Darius vince. So he piudently held
his tongue and they proceeded with
their work TO all outward appearances
as if nothing had happened. In fact,
Mr.. Barnaby forgot all about Well
ing's call by dinner time. and it was
far from his thought when, late in The
evening. he placed the book contain
ing the days record II, the strong box
with the others.
"A vast deal depends on those

pulled down the window. wondering
