CHAPTER TX.

The Lights on st. Agatha's PIsr.
On my way home through St. Aga
tha's l stopped to question the two
guards. They had heard nothing, had
seen nothing. How that girl had
passed them l did not know. scanned
the main building, where she and Miss
Pat had two rooms, with an interven-
ing sitting room, but all was dark.
Miss Helen Holbrook was undeniably
resourceful young woman of charm
and wit, and / went on to Glenarm
House with new respect for her
cleverness.
/ was abroad early the next morn
ing, retracing my steps through st.
Agatha's to the stone bench on the
bluff with vague notion of confirming
my memory of the night by actual con-
tact with visible, tangible things. The
lake twinkled in the sunlight, the sky
overhead was fiawless sweep of blue.
and the foliage shone from the deluge
of the early night. But in the soft mold
of the path the prints OF a woman's
shoe were unmistakable. l bent down
and examined them; / measured them
-ungraciously, indefensibly, guilty.
with my hand, and rose convinced
that the neat outlines spoke of modish,
bootmaker, and were not apt to be ex-
planned away as marking the lightly
limned step of fairy or the gold
sandaled fight of Diana. Then | de-
scended to ST. Agatha's and found
Miss Pat and Helen lettering tranquil
ly in the garden.
They gave me good morning-Miss
Pat calm and gracious, and Helen In
the spirit of the morning itself, smil-
ing, cool, and arguing .or peace De-
ception, as social accomplishment,
she had undoubtedly carried far; and
l was hard put to hold up my end Of
the game. ! have practiced lying with
pastmasters in the art--the bazaar
keepers of Cairo. horse dealers in
Moscow and rug brokers in Teheran;
but dipped my colors to this amazing
girl.
I'm afraid that we are making our
selves nuisance to you," said Miss
Pat. Il heard the watchmen patroling
the walks last night"
"Yes; 1t was quite feudal!" Helen
broke in. II felt that we were back

Miss Pat paused behind us to de-
liberate upon new species of holly
hook whose minarets rose level with
her kind, gentle eyes. Something had
been in my mind, and l took this op.
portunity to speak to Helen.
why don't you avert danger and
avoid an ugly catastrophe by confess
ing to Miss Pat that your duty and
sympathy lie with your father? 1t
would save a lot of trouble in the
end"
The flame leaped into Helen's face
as she turned to me.
Il don't know what you mesn!

so outrageously!" She glanced hur-
riedly over her shoulder. "My position
is hard enough; it is difficult enough.

of my reckoning, and leading me into
uncharted seas.
