CHAPTER xxIII.-contInued.

Presently, as the dark gathered
about us, the candles were lighted, and
their glow shut out the world To
my relief the three women carried the
talk alone, leaving me to my own
thoughts Of Helen and my plans for
restoring her to her aunt with no
break in the new confidence that Rosa
lind had inspired. 1 had so completely
yielded myself to this undercurrent of
reflection that 1 was startled to find
Miss Pat with the coffee service before
her
Larry, you are dreaming. How can
/ remember whether you take sugar?"
Sister Margaret's eyes were upon
me reproachfully for my inattention,
and my heart-beats quickened as eight
strokes of the chapel chime stole lin
geringly through the quiet air. 1 had
half-raised nay cup when was
startled by question from Miss Pat
"a request innocent enough and
spoken, it seemed, utterly without In
tention
Let me see your ring a moment.
Helen"
Sister Margaret flashed a glance
of inquiry at me, but Rosalind met the
situation instantly.
Certainly, Aunt Pat''-and she
slipped the ring from her finger,
passed it across the table, and folded
her hands quietly upon the white
cloth. She did not look at me. but 1
saw her breath come and go quickly.
If the rings were not the same then
we were undone. This thought gripped
the three of US, and 1 heard nv cup
beating a tattoo on the edge of my
saucer in the tense silence. while Miss
Pat bent close to the candle before her
and studied the ring, turning it over
slowly. Rosalind half opened her lips
to speak, but Sister Margaret's snowy
hand clasped the girls fingers The
little circlet of gold with it's beautiful
green stone had been to me one of the
convincing items of the remarkable re-
semblance between the cousins: but
If there should be some 6ffferentiating
mark Miss Pat was not so stupid as to
overlook it
Miss Pat put down the ring abruptly,
and looked at Rosalind and then
smiled quizzically at me.
You are a clever boy Larry
Then, turning to Rosalind, Miss Pat
remarked, with the most casual air
Imaginable:
Helen pronounces either with the
long e. I noticed at luncheon that
you say eyether. Where's your father,
Rosalind?"
My eyes were turning from her to

We worked a quarter of an hour be-

Cunning and greed, and the marks of

Gillespie got Arthur to his feet a mo-
ment later, and l gave him brandy
from flask in the cupboard. His
brothers restoration seemed now to
amuse Henry.
1T was a mere love-tap. You're

the simple life down here in the woods.

turned to me with the air of domfnat-
ing the situation. I'm glad you've

ment, and then the launch got away.
L babe Gillespie steer, and when we
were free of the pier told him to head
for the Tippecanoe.
The handful of stars that had bright
ened against the sky had been a real
shock, and 1 accused myself in severe
terms for having left Arthur Holbrook
alone. As we swept into the open
Glenarm House stood forth from the
enc1rcling wood, marked by the bright
lights of the terrace where Miss Pat
had, with so much composure and in
SO few words, made comedy of nay at

on my coat my hand touched the en-
velope containing the forged notes
which I had thrust into my pocket be-
fore dinner, and the contact sobered
me; there was still a chance for me to
be of use. But at the thought of what
might be occurring at the houseboat
on the Tippecanoe 1 forced the
launch's speed to the limit Gillespie
still maintained silence, grimly
clenching his empty pipe. He now
reused himself and bawled at me:

mo, 1t is for her!" And he followed
silently at my heels toward Red Gate.
The voices of two men in loud de-
bate rang out sharply upon us through
the open windows of the house-boat
as we crept down upon the deck. Then
followed the sound of blows, and the
rattle of furniture knocked about, and
as we reached the door a lamp fell
with crash and the place was dark.
We seemed to strike matches at the
same instant, and as they blazed upon
their sticks we looked down upon Ar
thur Holbrook. who lay sprawling with
his arms outfiung on the floor, and
over him stood his brother with hands

was somewhat treasured by the
sound of my own voice as called
