CHAPTER xI.
I Receive a Call.

Going to bed at three O'Clock on a
winter morning in a house whose
ways are disquieting, after a duel in
which you escaped whole only by
sheer good luck. does not fit one for
sleep. When / finally drew the covers
over me 1t was to lie and speculate
upon the events of the night in CON
nection with the history of the few
weeks | had spent at Glenarm. Larry
had suggested in New York that Pick
ering was playing some deep game,
and /. myself, could not accept Pick
ering's statement that my grandfath-
er's large fortune had proved to be a
myth. III Pickering had not stolen or
dissipated 1t. where was 1t concealed? :?
Morgan was undoubtedly looking for
something of value or he would not
risk his life in the business; and it
was quite possible that he was EN-.
ployed by Pickering to search for hid
den property. This idea took strong
hold of me, the more readily, fear,
since l had alwaye been axious to see
evil in Pickering. There was, to be
sure, the unknown alternative heir.
but neither she nor Sister Theresa
was, l imagined, person capable of
hiring an assassin to kill me.
On reflection l dismissed the idea
of appealing to the county authorities.
and / never regretted that resolution.
The seat of Wabana county was 20
miles away, the processes of law were
unfamiliar, and | wished 20 avoid pub
licity. Morgan might, of course, have
been easily disposed of by an appeal
TO the Anmandale constable, but now
that l suspected Pickering of treach-
cry the caretaker's Importance dwin-
died. I had wanted all my life for
chance at Arthur Pickering, and in
this affair / hoped to draw him into
the open and settle with him.
l slept presently but woke at my
usual hour. and after a tub felt ready
for another day. Bates served me,
as usual. breakfast that gave fair
aspect to the morning. | was alert
for any sign of perturbation in him;
but / had already decided that
might as well look for emotion in a
stone wall as in this placid, colorless
serving man. had no reason to sus-
pect him of completely in the nights
affair, but had no faith in him, and
merely waited until he should show
his hand.
BY my plate next morning l found
this note. written in clear, bold
woman's hand:

The chaplain of st. Agatha's was a
big fellow, as had remarked on the
occasion OF his interview with Olivia
Gladys Armstrong by the wall. His
light brown hair was close-cut. his
smooth shaven face was bright with
the freshness of youth. Here was a
sturdy young apostle without frills.
but with a vigorous grip that left my
hand tingllng. His voice was deep
asd musical-a voice that suggested
sincerity and inspired confidence.

as though politely speculating as to
what manner of man | might be.

snow storm is something / have never
experienced before
This is my second winter. I came
out here because | wished to do some
reading and thought I'D rather do it
alone in a university"
"Studious habits are rather forced
on one out here, should say In my
own case my course of reading is all
cut out for me-"
"The Glenarm collection is famous
the best in the country, easily Mr.
Glenarm, your grandfather was GER
tainly an enthusiast. / met him sew
eral times. though he was a trifie hard
to meet!"-and the clergyman smiled
MY grandfather had his whims;
but he was a fine. generous-hearted
old gentleman" l said.
you haven't been on our side Of
the wall yet? Well, ] promise not to
molest your hidden treasure II you'll
be neighborly." and he laughed mer-
rily.
The Elbert County tribune., 1907-06-13

Il fear there's big joke involved in
the hidden treasure" l replied. I'm
so busy staying at home to guard 1t
that | have no time for social recrea-
ton"
He looked at me quickly to see
whether | was joking. His eyes were
steady and earnest The Reverend
Paul Stoddard impressed me more and
more agreeably. There was a sugges-
tion of quiet strength about him that
drew me to him.
Il suppose every one about here
thinks of nothing but that I'm at Glen
arm to earn my inheritance. My resi-
dence here must look pretty sordid
from the outside"
Mr.. Glenarm's will is matter OF
record in the county, of course. But
you are too hard on yourself It's no
body's business If your grandfather
wished to visit his whims on you. l
should say, in my own case, that
don't consider it any of my business
what you are here for. | didn't come
over to annoy you or to pry into your
affairs. l get lonely now and then
and thought I'd like to establish neigh
borly relations"
Thank you; I appreciate your COM
ing very much, and my heart warm
ed under the manifest kindness of the
man.
"And I hope"-he spoke for the first
time with restraint-"I hope nothing
will prevent your knowing Sister
Theresa and Miss Devereux. They
are interesting and charming-the
only women ABOUT here of your own
social status"
My liking for him abated slightly
He might be a detective, represent
ing the alternative heir. for all knew
and possibly Sister Theresa was a
party to the conspiracy to drive me
away.
In time. no doubt, in time, | shall
know them" l answered evasively.
"Oh, quite as you like!"-and he
changed the subject. We telked of
many things-of outdoor sports. with
which he showed great familiarity, of
universities. of travel and adventure.
Columbia was his alma mater, but he
had spent two years at Oxford.

FARMERS TOLD HOW TO
USE THE APPLE CROP

THE plant industry bureau of the de-
partment of agriculture has de-
cided that the apples of the country
are not sufficiently utilized for food
purposes and has issued bulletin of
advice to the farmers, telling them
how to use the stock that is of too
poor a grade for the general market.
1t pays special attention to the "evap-
oration" of apples as being particu-
larly valuable in using up the fruit
that might ordinarily go to waste.
1t points out that the portion of a
fruit crop which is of too low grade
to market in the ordinary way can
often be made to pay at least large
part of the expense of maintaining
the orchard or fruit plantation If it is
converted into some other form or
handled in some way other than that
practiced with the better grades. The
report details various methods of op-
