holes up on my opponent by the time
the eighth hole was reached. At the
eighth green something went wrong
with our reckoning of the strokes and
l claimed that 1 had won that hole,
too, while my opponent claimed that
it was halved. After a mild dispute

SYNOPSIS.

Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen
Holbrook, her niece, were entrusted to
the care Of Laurance Donovan, a writer,
summering near Port Annandale Miss
Patricia conflded to Donovan that she
reared her brother Henry, who, ruined by
bank failure, had constantly threatened
her for money from his fathers will, of
which Miss Patricia was guardian. They
came to Port Annandale to escape Henry.
Donovan sympathized with the two
women. He learned of Miss Helen's an
noying suftor. Donovan discovered and
captured an intruder who proved to be
Reginald Gillespie, suitor for the hand of
Miss Helen Holbrook. Gillespie disaps
peared the following morning. A rough
sailor appeared and was ordered away.
Donovan saw Miss Holbrook and her IA
fought an Italian assassin. He met the
man he supposed was Holbrook, but who
said he was Hartridge, a canoe-maker.
After a short discussion Donovan left
surlily. Gillespie was discovered by Don
oVan presenting a country church with
$1,000. Gillespie admitted he knew of Hol-
brooks presence. Miss Pat acknowledged
missing for a few hours. While riding
in a launch, the Italian sailor attempted
to moleSt the trio, but failed. Miss Pat
announced her intention of fighting Henry
Holbrook and not seeking another hiding
place. Donovan met Helen in garden at
night. DuPlicity of Helen was confessed
by the young lady. She admitted conniving
precautions, in night meeting with Don
ovan. The three went for long ride the
following day. That night, disguised as a
nun. Helen stole from the house. She met
Reginald Gillespie, who told her his love.
Gillespie was confronted by Donovan.

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET

-Four years ago I suffered severely
with terrible eczema, being a mass
OF sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual tor.
ture from itching and burning. After
being given up by my doctor I was ad.
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. After
the first bath with Cuticura Soap and
application Of Cuticura Ointment I en-
3oyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. I also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con.
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time I was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies as / know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning.

CHAPTER K.
The EIutter of a Handkerchief.


The next morning at eight o'clock
1 sent note to Miss Pat, asking if she
and the other ladies of her house
would not take breakfast with me at
nine; and she replied, on her quaint
visiting card, in an old-fashioned hand,
that she and Helen would be glad to
come, but that Sister Margaret begged
to be excused. 1t had been in my
mind from the first to ask them to
dine at Glenarm, and now 1 wished
to see this girl, to test, weigh, study
her, as soon as possible after her
meeting with Gillespie. l wished to
see how she would bear herself before
her aunt and me with that dark trans
action on her conscience.
Breakfast seems to be, in common
experience, the most difficult meal of
the day, and yet that hour hangs in
memory still as one of the brightest l
ever spent. The table was set on the
terrace, and its white napery, the best
Glenarm silver and crystal, and a bowl
of red roses still dewy from the night,
all blended coolly with the morning.
AS the strawberries were passed 1 felt
that the little table had brought us
together in a new intimacy. 1t was de-
lightful to sit face to face with Miss
Pat, and not less agreeable to have
at my right hand this bewildering
girl, whose eyes laughed at me when
/ sought shame in their depths. Miss
Pat poured the coffee, and when l
took-my cup l felt that it carried
benediction with it. 1 was glad to
see her so at peace with the world,
and her heart was not older, 1 could
have sworn, than the roses before her
II shall refuse to leave when my
time is up!" she declared do you
think you could spend a winter here,
Helen?"
Il should love it," the girl replied.
1T would be perfectly splendid to
watch the seasons march across the
lake. We can both enroll ourselves at
st. Agatha's as postgraduate students,
and take a special course in weather
here
IF 1 didn't sometimes hear trains
passing Annandale in the night, l
should forget that there's a great busy
world off there somewhere" said Miss
Pat. Il am ashamed of myself for
having been so long discovering this
spot. Except one journey to Califor
mia, was never west of Philadelphia
until / came here"
Helen stood by the line of scarlet
geraniums that marked the balustrade
at point whence the best view of the
lake was obtainable-her hands
clasped behind her, her head turned
slightly. =
There is no one quite like her!F
exclaimed Miss Pat.
"She is beautiful" 1 acquiesced.
Miss Pat talked on quickly, as
though our silence might cause Haen
to turn and thus deprive US of the
picture.
Should you like to look owe. the

Helen had come back to the table. I'll
