CHAPTER NXITI.

Edith Longworth, with that precious
bit of paper in her pocket. once more
got into her hanson and drove to Went
worth's Office. Again she took the only
easy chair in the room. Her face was
very serious, and Wentworth, the mo-
ment he saw it, said to himself: "She
has failed"
'"'Have you telegraphed to Mr.. Ken
yon?' she asked.
EYES,"
Are, you sure you made it clear>to
him what was wanted? Cablegrams
are apt to be rather brief"
II told him to keep in communication
with us. Here is copy of the cable
gram
Miss Longworth read it approvingly,
but said:
you have not put in the word AN
swer.'n"
NO, but put it in the dispatch I
sent. I remember that now
"Have you had an answer yet?"
"Oh, no; you see it takes a long time
to get there because there are so many
changes from the end of the cable to
the Office at which Kenyon is. And
then again, you see, they may have to
look for him. He may not be expecting
message; in fact, he is sure not to be
expecting any. From his own cable
gram to me-. it is quite evident he has
given up all hope"
"Show ME that cablegram, please"
Wentworth hesitated. ut is hardly
couched in language you will like to
read" he said.
THAT doesn't matter. Show it to
me: must see all the documents in the
case" He handed her the paper, which
she read in silence, and gave it back to
him without a word.
Il knew you wouldn't like it," he
said. -. -~... 80 3
II have not said do not like it. It is
not a bit too strong under the circum-
stances. In fact do not see how he
could have put it in other words. 1t is
very concise and to the point
i Eyes, there is no doubt about that,
especially the first three words: we are
cheated!' Those are the words that
make me think. Kenyon has given up
all hope, and SO there will be some diff
ficulty in finding him" 81, r,

be sent by cable, or note" -.

that. The money is deposited in bank

pulled the telegram forms toward him.
and after considerable labor managed
to concoct a dispatch that seemed to
satisfy him.
Don't spare money on it, said the
young lady. BE sure and make it
plain to him." III. - ~
Il think that will do: don't you?"
"Yes," she answered, after reading
the dispatch, 'sthat will do
Now" she said, "here is the check.

to believe that, in a very short time,
he would relieve her anxiety. He again
appeared to be trying to fix his atten4
ton on the paper. Then he threw it
down and turned toward her.
THAT man Wentworth" he said, bit
terly, behaved to-day in most I'M
justifiable manner to me in my office.

Office
Edith did not answer for a few mo-
ments, while her father gave express
sion to his indignation by various ejac-
ulations that need not be here recorded.
'Did he say" she spoke at length,
Sin what way William had done
wrong?"

he said. know told him to cone

matter at all, but simply refused to

THAT certainly was reasonable re-
piled Edith. what did he say to it?"

liam, and went on at a dreadful rate,
until I was obliged to1ortler him out of
the Office
but what did he say about meeting
William at your Office and making the
charges against him then?''
what did he say? 1don't remember.
Oh, yes, he said it would be too late

do what business they have to do, and
that is why he made the demand for
