He was about to add more when the
door opened and Mariana appeared.
Instantly the American changed his
tone to one Of severe command.
'And don't you forget what I've been
telling you. You get the sand out of
that gear box first thing tomorrow
morning, or I'll see that you draw your
last pay Saturday night"'
Ivanoff caught the idea and bowed
silently and then turned and entered
the door to the inner chamber. Mari

and went out, standing to one side to
make room for Ethel as she entered
with look of complete astonishment
on her face. Pike approached her.
I'm much obliged to you for taking

She inclined her head icily and fidg-

started for the door. He stepped be-

hand with n gesture of command

back from him, and he went on:

where I've got to use the authority I

In an instant she flared up.

into chair with a gesture Of alarm.

more softly.

what kind Of people you're dealing
with"
She dropped her head.
You're bullying me! I don't see why
you talk so brutally to me-"
do you think I'd do it for anything
but you!" he asked.
"You are odious, insufferable" she
cried, with a flash of temper.
Don't you think know You despise
me" he asked bitterly. And she fared
again.
Il do net despise you. If had stay

rival here You have made me ashamed
both OF you and myself. And now you
have some preposterous plan that will
shame me again-both Of us-once
more before these gentlefolk."
There was q bustling without and
some loud talking, and Pike smiled
wanly.
II think them gentlefolk are here, !"
he said. AS he spoke the door was
thrown open, and Lady Creech hur-
riedly entered, followed by the count
ess, Horace, Almeric and the earl. The
latter bowed sardonically to Pike, and
Lady Creech hurried to Ethel with a
cry Of astonishment.

here in this dreadful place with this
dreadful person" she demanded
shrilly.
"My dear. Les covenances" cried

and said:

Horace turned to the earl.
Lord Hawcastle, will you insist
upon Etheps leaving? It's quite on
the cards we shall have a disagreeable
scene here"
Hawcastle smiled evilly.
Il see no reason for it. We're here
simply for Mr.. Pixies answer. BE

where we stand" said the earl suave-
ly, and the American met his smile
evenly.
81 reckon you're right so far" he
said.
"And your answer will be yes?'
asked the earl. but Pike shook his
head.
You're wrong there" he answered
and Hawcastle changed front in an
instant.
perhaps you are right, Mr.. Gran
ger-Simpson," he said. There may
be painful things done. Better your
sister were spared them. Take hel
away"
Pike snapped at them all and moved
to the door, where he faced them.
Miss Ethel, you'll stay right where
you are" he commanded, and, paying
no attention, Pike turned to Hawcas
tie.

You're here for an answer, you
say?"
Yes" answered the earl, after an
instant's pause, and Dan went closer
to him.

looking the other in the eye.
"An answer to our request that you
accede to the wishes Of this young
lady" replied the earl uneasily.
And if l don't what are you going
to do?" demanded Pike quickly. Hor-
ace at once broke in.
Ethel, you must go.' he implored.
But Pike waved him to silence.
Tell her. Why do you come here
sure of the answer you want?" he in
sisted savagely.
"A gentleman would spare her
that" said Hawcastle, with uneasi-
ness, and the American laughed.
Il won't" he snapped. Speak out!
Why?" But the earl would not an
swer directly, so Pike turned to Ethel.
This afternoon l tried to help a

he'd been for nine years"
Ethel half rose in her chair and
faced him eagerly
"A poor, weak thing" he went on,
