They said good night, and the Girton
girl sire 'led away into the purpling
shadows. where she was destined TO
hear what she had never suspected
that love is, after all, the only higher
mathematics worth the attention Of a
girl with soft hands and wavy hair.
Miss Bremmil walked slowly back,
thinking placidly Of their little ro-
nance. Suddenly she heard footsteps
at her side. Some one had come out
from the trees and was pacing with
her She turned hurriedly toward the
sound. A man was walking by her
with peculiarly gliding, springy step.
He was very tall, with dark and rath-
er sinister face. He was dressed In
the uniform Of the asylum, only with
one difference-on his head he wore a
yellow cap and round his arm was a
broad band of yellow cloth.
She shrank back with sick terror
flowing round and round her heart like
icy water. The man was one of the
dangerous" cases, and she was alone
with him at nightfall, too far away to
scream for aid. she was paralyzed
with fear. Suddenly he turned on her
with a swift snarl. like n treacherous
animal. He caught her by the arms
and carried her 10 the nearest tree,
leaning her against it.
"Pve wanted something like this for

Early in the afternoon the rightful
king had been digging in a plantation
of larches. He had left his spade and
was now coming to fetch it.
Miss Bremmil heard the voice and
gave one cry for help. The knife was

king came stumbling up. He saw the
girl tied TO the tree and the man with
the knife. He flung himself upon the
mailman with a great cry Of pity and
anger.
They rolled over and over on the
ground, struggling fercely, but at last
the old man was mastered. He was no

when you top two balls, it's two up Now,

"But what is topping ball?" she per-

Good heavens! how ignorant you are!''
he exclaimed. .'Why, topping a ball is
knocking it so high that it never comes
down. I should think the expression 'one

I don't mean that, of course; the bank
is rich and could stand the loss of
four times that amount. But quar-
ter of o million is round sum, for all
of that. Itdoes not seem possible that,
in spite of all our care, they can have
succeeded in making away with SO
much money. But they did. There can
tie no doubt about that; for in the pa
pers which Arbogast inclosed for me in
his letter to his wife he explains just
how the thing was done. 1t is simple
enough when you know the trick; but
it took fiendish cunning to devise it..
I never would have thought that ras-
cally bookkeeper intelligent enough 10
st such scheme.''
''If the scheme is work of genius .
said Sturgis, ''you may rest assured
that 'N'-who may very well be Henry
Seymour-was the author of it."
''Well, at any rate" observed Dunlap,
"there is one thing that must be done
at once; and that is to find both Chat
ham and Seymour. 1t is not possible
that in two years these men have spent
. quarter of million dollars between
them"
"It is at all events possible that they
maynot have done so," replied Sturgis:
"for my Investigations show that both
Arbogast and Chatham have been men
of regular and exemplary habits in
their private lives. They do not ap-
pear to have been living much, if at
all, beyond their means. There does
not seem to have been, in the case OF
either man, any room for double ex-
istence, which might otherwise have
explained the situation. Neither was
a spendthrift or gambler, and Meth
er was dissipated."
'Then you have not the faintest idea
of the present whereabouts of Chatham
or of his mysterious accomplice?"
''Let me tell you exactly wha, i have
done up to the present time; and then
you will be able to judge for yourself
And I, too, shall see more clearly where
