She was silent for a little space,
and then she said, softly: "Why do

"You will know when tell you

"Oh, don'tI" was all she said, but
after that she sat as one suddenly

him leave, and then he rose and
stood beside her.

CHAPTER xxxIII.

II was seven o'clock when Griswold
had finally fought his way out OF the
turmoil of conflicting doubts and dis
fractions, and had come to some
definite conclusion touching his duty.
In the light of a possible miscon-
struotion Of his words by Margery
there was nothing for it but to go
20 her and have the doubt cleared
away before he should speak to Char
lotte. So much honor demanded; and
Griswold was not the man to shirk
where honor was involved.
But when he was closing Mrs. Hoi-
combs front door behind him, the
Grierson footman opened the gate
and came up the walk with note.
Griswold stepped within to read IL
by the hall light. 1t was from mar
rery. and while he could not help
smiling at the courageous naivete OF
it. Il freed him suddenly from Ne
burden Of doubt.

DR.. Farnham, driving leisurely
home after his evening call in the
neighborhood Of the iron works saw
q thing that made him wonder II his
eyeglasses were not quite a. we'll
fitted as they might be. In quiet
street he saw q man whom he made
sure was Griswold stumbling along
like homing roysterer, and just
behind him, lodging from tree to
tree and shadow to shadow, another
man who was evidently following the
stumbler.
The doctor drove on, thinking he
must have been mistaken as to the
drunken mans identity. But he was
not. It was Griswold; and when he
reached tho office of the iron works
he let himself in and turned on the
incandescent light, did this and
wheeled quickly to confront his pur-
suer ON the threshold of the open
door.

void was startled, as anyone might
be. Then he saw that the incomer
was Griffin. So he greeted him
syardedly and waited to know what
the late visit purported.
Griffin seemed in no hurry to exs
plain. On the contrary, he closed the
door carefully behind him, swapping
the catch of the night-latch as he did
It, though this Griswold did not
know. Next he drew down the win

chair from Griswold's desk, sat down
to clip the end fFoin q very large CT

Griswold ran up to his room, pen
cjled his answer on the back of her
note, reenclosing it in fresh envel-
ope, and fastened down to give 1t
to the waiting footman. Then he
walked quickly to the drug store at
the corner and called up the iron
works by telephone. Luckily Raymer
was there.

the big cigar was well alight.
Griswold nodded.
Griffin smoked stolidly for full
minute before he added: 1--WE had
devil of time finding you; never
should have found you if you hadn't
gone off your head and got girl
crazy"
This time Griswold made no sign.
Once again his eyes were marking
the exact distance of the rifle on the
wall. A silence surcharged with the
electricity of possibilities settled
down upon the cramped little room;
and when it became unbearable the
detective broke it.
"Where's the swag?" he asked,
briefly.
Then Griswold spoke for the first
time. Its here in this plant; the
greater part OF it"
"Humph! I supposed So" And
then, after another silent interval:
"Why the devil don't you say some
thing?"
Griswold spread his hands. There
IS nothing to say-nothing that l
think of. You have run me down,
and that's the end of it," But he
glanced once more at the rifle.
