Darlington wondered why Norah

"Papers?" she murmured

to her feet in terror and dismay.
What is it?" cried Darlington, who

extraordinary had happened

Norah sat down and hid her face on

who knew the combination! He
stood up, a cold chill wrinkling his
spine. He saw it all distinctly. Cave
naugh knew. He had known all along.
Cavenaugh had overheard him speak
to Kate and had opened the safe after
their departure for the. club. 1t was
all very cleverly done. He knew that
Kate was utterly blameless Then
it dawned upon him that they ap-
peared as though they accepted the
catastrophe as not wholly unexpected!
To what did this labyrinth lead?
A rattle of the curtain rings wheeled
them about. They beheld Cavenaugh
himself standing in the doorway.
What's the trouble?" he asked, eye
ing Darlington suspiciously.
Darlington answered him icily. 81

ever there was written on face un-
feisLed dismay and astonishment, 1t
was on the millionaire's. A moment
before Darlington would have sworn
that he was guilty; now he knew not
what to believe, He grew bewildered,
There had certainly been burglar,
but who was he?
"Mr. Darlington" said Cavenaugh,
pulling himself together with an ef.
fort, you need have no worry what
ever. 1 will undertake to restore your
documents. I offer you no explana-
tions." He left them abruptly.
The young lawyer concluded to
grope no longer. Somebody else would
have to lead him out of this labyrin-
thine maze. All at once there came
to him a sense of infinite relief. Prov
idence had kindly taken the matter
out of his hands.

clenched. He was at bay. Darlington
felt as if he were in the midst of some
mad dream.
Sometimes l succeeded in opening
the safe; and sometimes, when luck
went against me for two or three
months, Norah tipped me the combina-
ton. She dared not do it too often. So
the months went on. Once a month

dren. My son grew richer and richer;
for myself, l remained in the valley of

He knew that his son was fighter,
and that to win he would have to

CHAPTER III.

Darlington tumbled out of bed 1t
six and threw out the old-fashioned
green blinds. A warm, golden sum-
mer morning greeted his eyes, and the
peaceful calm of Sunday lay upon the
land. A robin piped in an apple tree,
an oriole flashed across the flower
beds, and a bee buzzed just outside
the sill. A brave day! He stepped
into his tub, bathed, and dressed in his
riding clothes, for there was to be =
canter down to the sea and return be-
fore breakfast. From the window he
could see the groom walking the beau
dful thoroughbreds up and down the
driveway. There were only two this
morning; evidently Norah was not
going.
The Cavenaugh girls had created al
most a scandal and a revolution when
they first appeared at Glenwood. Peo-
pie had read and talked about women
riding like men, they had even seen
pictures OF them, but to find them
close at hand was something Of 4

o'clock that afternoon, just as the

He was revelation. There was moth

and twirled a light bamboo. There

his air, bubbling in his eyes; alto

something. He cast aside his hat and

The butler sent dubious glance at

down beside Norah, whose usual effer-

pinched her cheek, and deliberated be-
tween the cold ham and chicken.
