mystery deepens. Somewhere, far
from the surface. some powerful infiu

who sue her accept her word that they
will be paid-and the suit is postponed.
The Oberlin bank loans her a large
sum of money on the same mysterious
security. The bank fails, and the Sc
cret influence behind Mrs. Chadwick
seals the lips of president and direc-
tors.
Other mysterious securities are de-
