CHAPTER Nv.
Mildred BoItwood Mystery,
(Continued.)

lContinued.)
Van Tasel rode down the hill a few
minutes later, dazed by the radiance
Mildred Boltwood had left in his
heart.
"A most lovely grill" he unused, as
he braced his feet to keep on the
cushions, so steep was the road. "A
most delicate, exquisite girl! A charm
ing grill"
He could scarcely find adjectives
SURPRISING enough to fit her. 1t was
difficult thing to attempt to define her
in words. He might say that she had
the facial contour of a sylph, that she
had a fiawless skin, that her hair was
in loose waves of chestnut, turning TO
gold. but when he had said IT, 1t meant
nothing at all, so far did it come from
describing her.
"Who the deuce can she be?" he
wondered "and why isn't she known
in New York;"
He knew families of Boltwoods, to
be sure, but she didr't fit into any OF
them. Mentally he went up Fifth ave-
nue. and then down Madison, but there
was not a family to whom she could
belong. He couldn't place her.
''She might have told me where she
came FRONT" he thought. "She might
have given a fellow some sort OF
clew. It's perfectly clear that she
lived abroad, for that singular olo
castle of hers is as foreign as If II was
set down on the cliffs of the Rhine, IN
stead of those of the Hudson. l mean

his brain for a clew, but his eHorls
were futile. A.,
Suddenly Van Tasel remembered tne
words Miss Boltwood had addressed 70
the footman concerning the servants.
WHY was she so concerned over tne
possible absence of a man-serVant or
two? All! it was clear enough, now
that he thought of it. Her anxiety mad

someone else-for the stranger they
had encountered on the cliff.
1t was rather early in his acqualht-
ance for Van Tasel to be jealous yet
he clinched his fists.
1.-THE devil take him.! he muttereo.
"Who is the vagabondY"
Van Tasel now recalled tnat lhere
had been no such man at the railway
station, Where had he come from!
Following Miss Boltwood, quite likely.
the scoundrel! Did she know who he
was? Evidently not. She had been
extraordinarily curious to learn If he
might have been one of the servants.
Clearly, his identity puzzled her-even
alarmed her. Had she not given the
castle watchman warning?
The carriage stopped at the railway
station. Van Tasel had been too much
preoccupied when he left the castle to
give any orders, and the coachman had
taken it for granted that he wanted
TO go there. Now, Van Tasel recalled

"Why didn't you say so?" exclaimed
Van Tasel. We'll stop her, OF

The operator looked at Van Tasel in
astonishment. Stop the Limitedi Such
