81 shall undoubtedly lose such wits
as l have If we don't get somewhere
in this business pretty soon. But,
Donovan, there's something l want to
ask you. l don't like to speak of 1t,
but when we were coming away from
that internal island, after our scrap
with the dago, there were two people
walking on the bluff-a man and a
woman, and the woman was nearest
us. She seemed TO be purposely put
ting herself in the mans way so we
couldn't see him. 1t didn't seem pos
sible that Helen could be there-but?"
He clearly wished to be assured,
and l answered at once:
Il saw them; it couldn't have been
Helen. 1t was merely a similarity OF
figure. / couldn't distinguish her face
at all. Very likely they were Port An
Mandate cottagers."
81 thought so myself" he replied,
evidently relieved. 1t did not seem
necessary to tell him of Rosalind at
Red Gate; that was my secret, and
was not yet ready TO share it.
I've got to talk to somebody, and
want to tell you something. Donovan.
can't deny that there are times when
Helen doesn't seem-well, all that |
have thought her at other times.
Sometimes she seems selfish and hard,
and all that. And l know she hasn't
treated Miss Pat right; it isn't square
for her to take Miss Pats bounty and
then work against her. But l make
allowances, Donovan"
"Of course" | acquiesced, wishing
to cheer him. $50 do l. She has been

ought to exact of the woman he mar

very much. Start the day right, hand

CHAPTER Xx.-Continued.

He was at once sane and serious,
and replied, soberly:
Il never doubted that it was Arthur
1t he wasn't guilty. why did he run
away? 1t was a queer business, and
father never mentioned it. Henry gave
out the impression that my father had
taken advantage of Holbrook Brothers
and forced their failure; but father
shut up and never told me anything"
but you have the notes"
Eyes, but I'm not to open them, yet.
I can't tell you about that now" He
grew red and played with his cravat.
Where are they?" l asked.
1--WE just had them sent to me;
they're in the bank at Annandale.
There's another thing you may not
know. Old man Holbrook, who lived
TO be older than the hills, left pro-
vision in his will that adds to the COM
plications. Miss Pat may have men
toned that stuff in her fathers will
about the honor of the brothers."
"She just mentioned it. Please tell
me what you know of it,"
He took out his pocket-book and
read me this paragraph from a news
paper cutting:
And the said one million dollars herein
before specifically provided for shall. aft
er the lapse of ten years. be divided be-
tween my said sons Henry and Arthur

Gillespie lighted cigarette and
smoked quietly for several minutes
and when he spoke it was with deep
feeling.
Il love that girl. Donovan. 1 be
lieve she cares for me, or would If she
could get out of all these entangle

Let him spend his money and die in

We had gone to the library, and he
threw himself down i'm the chair from

a time before that | seemed still tc

Cheer up, lad! If we can't unite

/ began telling him of some of my
own experiences, and won him to 2
cheerier mood. When we came round
TO the Holbrooks again his depression
had passed, and we were on the best
of terms.
But there's one thing we can't get
away from, Donovan. I've got to pro

An aching back is instantly

This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. 1t penetrates

temporary relief.
