In a week, Lucetta had said, she
might have been able, had he been
willing or in a position to wait, to give
him a more satisfactory answer Why
in a week? That she shrank from leav-
ing her sister so suddenly or that she
had sacrificed her iife's happiness to any
childish idea of decorum 1 did not think
probable even. The spirit she had
shown, her immovable attitude under Il
temptation which had not only romance
to recommend it, but everything else
which could affect a young and sensi-
tive woman, argued in my mind the ex-
istence of some uncOmpleted duty Of so
eXacting and imperative IA nature that
she could not even consider the greatest
interests of her own life until this II

tured, with a smile that should have
disarmed her from suspecting any ute

said this and to whom my reply was
due. The opportunities would have been
SO much greater for IN in]judicious dis
play Of feeling on her part and of a suit
able conclusion Oh mine.
But it was Loreen who never forgot
herself, and l had to content myself
with the persuasion that her voice was
Just a whit less clear than usual and
her serenity enough impaired for her to

window instead of into my face.

would not need to ask if ! had heard Of
the phantom carriage"
The probe had reached her at last.
She looked quite startled.
"You amaze me-" she said. "What
do you mean, Miss Butterworth? Why
should l not have needed to ask"
Because you would have heard it
whispered about in every lane and cor
ner. Ii is common talk in town today.
You must know why, Miss Knollys."
She was not looking out of the win
dow now. She was looking at me.
Il assure you, " she murmured, Il do
not know at all. Nothing could be
more incomprehensihle TO me, Explain
yourself, | entreat you. The phantom
carriage is but IA myth to me, interest
ing only as involving certain long van
ishcd ancestors of mine"
"Of course" | assented. mo ono Of

and an o%pprobrium which l would be
the last to infict upon Althea's children
unless justice to the rest of the world
demanded it.
1t was in consideration Of this very
fact, perhaps, that l had been placed
here instead of some regular police spy.
Mr.. Gryce is a man who has made it
his rule of life never to risk the reputa-
ton of any man or woman without rea-
sons SO excellent as to bear their own
exoneration with them, and should l, a
woman, with full as much heart if not
quite SO much brain (at least in the es-
timation Of people in general, by any
premature exposure of my suspicious

No, rather would | trust a litt;-

reason to expect me. The unexpected
arrival Of her lover had probably put

head. | therefore attempted no eXplana-
ton with her and IA very short one with
Loreen when | met her at the dinner
table. Nothing further seemed to be
necessary, for the girls were even more
distracted than ever before, and Will
liam positively hoorish till "A warning
glance from Loreen recalled him
what to his better self, which meant 81
lence.
The afternoon was spent in very much
the same way as tho evening before.
Neither sister remained an instant with
me after the other entered my company,
and though the alterations were less
frequent than they had been at that
time their peculiarities were more
marked and less naturally accounted
for. 1t was while Loreen was with me
that made the suggestion which had
been lowering on my lips ever since the
noon.

rather add to their interest than detract

Love for an unworthy relative or rather
the sense of duty toward ones own has
driven many u clear minded woman to
her ruin, as the police annals, embodied
as they are for me in Mr.. Grycc, would
show.
That l havcnot as yet put into definite
words tho suspicion upon which | was
now prepared to work is quito apparent
to me, Up to this timo it had been too
vague, or rather Of so monstrous n char
acter, that l had felt ready to consider
other possibilities, AS, for instance, tho
possible connection of old Mother Jane
with tho u~naccountablo disappearunccs
which had taken place in this lane. But
now tho very definite assurances | had
been constantly receiving from the mo
ment | had set foot i'm this house that
something extraordinary and out of
keeping with the ordinary appearances
of the household was going ON in secret
in some one of the innumerablo cham.
bers of that long corridor corresponding
to my own, land which for very obvious
reasons l had as yet failed to find any
excuse for penetrating, was taking shape
in my mind, and I no longer affected to
deny to myself that everything l had
thus far seen and heard went toward os-
tablishing the fact that these young wo-
men held in charge a prisoner of some
kind Of whose presence there and per-
sonality they dreaded the discovery.
Now, who could this prisoner be?
Common sense supplied me with but
II answer-Silly Rufus, the boy who
within a few days had vanished from
among tho good people Of this seeming
ly guileless community.
Onco settled in this idea, l applied
myself to IA consideration of the means
at my disposal for determining it's truth.
The simplest and perhaps the most sure
as we'll as the least satisfactory to ono
of my nature would DO to summo tho
police and havo the house thoroughly
searched, but this involved, in caso l
