lifts to New York introducing Wlfrid

rrevecca, what he would do if he We're
he possessor of wealth. In the law Of
Ice Of Carboy. Passavant & CoZnc, at

Hews reports the result of his search for
heirs OF Meleen He conceals the fact that
ne has discovered that Meleen's daughter

yertisement for information concerning
MIS- dead mother, Martha Meleen. and is
old that he is the heir to Andy Meeen's
Millions. He wants TO marry Eunice at

Clara Passavant, frivolous daughter of

take her unwilling fingers with the
other.
All a-quiver and unstrung he waited
for her answer. With bent head and
averted gaze Eunice almost turned
her back on him. A wave of repulsiOn
and disgust swept over her, for the
vehement force of which she was UNI
able to account. Not to save her ia
Their from hundred deaths could she
marry the middle-aged wooer. Never
had Roger Hews been so insistent;
never had she felt less like granting
what he demanded.
With an effort, evading his grasp.
Eunice rose and stood facing him, the
chair between them.
Il am sorry" she said, in tones full
of womanly sympathy, that you have
spoken of this again, Mr.. Hews. What
my answer was six months ago must
be my answer still. / do not love you,
and ] never could love you as wom-
an should love the man she marries.
| am loath to give you pain, but am
telling you the simple truth. | must
seem cruel to be kind.
J The words were uttered with such
quiet sincerity as to carry to the
wretched man who heard them the
conviction that the fortress of her
heart YVES unassailable and would
never be won by him. Roger Hews
realized that he had failed utterly,
and he threw discretion to the four
winds.
You mean You are telling me only
part of the truth" he shouted saw
agely, his real nature coming to the
surface under the rebuff, now that
there was nothing to be gained by
further disguise. Why not make a
clean breast of it, and confess that
you are still infatuated with that Up
start ass, Wilfrid Stennis. Where's
all your maidenly pride? Don't you
know that he belongs to another WON

When Roger Hews fired his mine.
Iatient as ferret, he bided his time;
he had scored one failure; in this sec

must be no mishap or miscarriage.
According to custom, he waited upon
Stennis Immediately after breakfast
to open the mail and receive Ills in
structions for the day.
The usual routine was gone through,
and Wilfrid was about TO start for his
morning gallop with his tiancee in the

But a second glance showed that he

So saying, he stepped to the phone
and coolly gave the necessary in
structions. Stennis, with one glove
on, stood, riding-whip in hand, in
dumb amazement at the consummate
impudence of the man. 1t was
novel and not very agreeable expert
ence. Hews, in return, scrutiniZed
his employer with a provoEingly cool
stare, an unpleasant leer on his thin
lips.
Your manners are ConfOundedly
unpleasant this morning, Mr.. Hews,"
said Wilfrid, lingering the stock of his
whip nervously. There was something
covertly venomous in the attitude as
sumed by his secretary which made
him itch to lay the heavy lash about
his shoulders, as one would chastise
an unruly dog.
"D' yer think so?" said the other. in
the most offensive tone he could mus

CHAPTER TX.

The preparations for the Stennis-
Theirs was to be only six-weeks en-
gagement, for Lent had just come in
when the fateful words were spoken
which in a measure set the crown Of
success upon the maneuvers of Mis-
tress Clara.
Did she love Wilfrid? In the light
of events it seems extremely doubt
full; that she liked and admired him
we have seen, in her eyes marriage
was more a matter of creature com
fort than of love pure and undeflled--
but little better than social com
pact, In fact so much beauty, so
much refinement, so much good birth
and position in exchange for so many
millions of dollars.
If the possessor of the millions
happened to be very passable and
presentable sort of a fellow, why, all
the better. In common with nearly
every other woman, Clara Passavant

more frantic. His mask of quiet re-

sputtered coarsely. He threw you
over once before, and now he's done it

Speech failed him, and he stood be-
fore her painting, choking, impotent.
Eunice Trevecca moved towards the
door, and from the vantage OF its
opening looked him up and down in
contemptuous scorn.

with cutting emphasis; Il have had a
narrow escape, it seems," and with
