CHAPTER XIV.
"The Light That Never Was"

The changes which Mrs. Melville
had accepted so philosophically. the
metamorphosis of the tragic and lone
ly house of mystery into a luxurious
country villa. the finging open of the
shutters, the marshaling of servants,
the turning. one may say, of the lime
light on a rich mans ordinary life
all this had occurred as swiftly and
with as little warning as a scene shifts
on the stage
Mrs. Rebecca Winter may have the
credit for this bouleversement of
plans. BY an astonishingly early hour
the next morning she was awake and
downstairs, where Kito and Tracy
were making coffee, toasting bread
and admiring the oatmeal which had
cooked. while they slept, in the Fire
less Stove. Tracy had planned a sur
prise of brown bread, but through no
fault OF the Fireless, owing solely to

had surrendered, he had his partners
