their train and seeking recreation meet
the Honorable Agatha Wyckhoff,"

stepfather, in an eccentric moment, made
his will so that the real Agatha, heiress
to his fortune and the castle at Wye.
England, might wed her affinity. Thus
Mrs .Armistead, ehaperon, was in duty
bound to keep the real Agatha's identity
unknown. An attempt by Terhune to
gather a clew from the chaperon fails.
Terhune finds old books containing pic
ture of former Baroness Wyckhoff,
which Is exactly like Agatha Sixth, whom
he is courting. Agatha Fifth confesses her
love for Vincent and also that she is the
real heiress. He spurns her proposal:
