italian scoundrel with him?" l asked
after a pause.
Hes the skipper of the Stiletto,"
Gillespie replied, readily.
He's a long way from ~tide-water,"
I remarked. "a BLACKBOARD Of just his
sort once sailed me around the Italian
peninsula in a felucca, and saved me
from drowning on the way. His hero
ism was not, however. wholly disinter-
ested. When we got back to Naples
he robbed me of my watch and money
belt and l profted by the transaction,
having intended to give him double
their value. But there are plenty Of
farm boys around the lake who could
handle the Stiletto. Henry didn't need
a dago expert"
The mention of the italian clearly
troubled Gillespie. After a moment he
said:
HE may be holding on to Henry in
stead of Henry's holding on to him. Do
you see?"
mo; I don't"
well, l have an idea that the dago
knows something that's valuable. Last
summer Henry went cruising in the
Sound with a pretty rotten crowd.
poker being the chief diversion. A
man died on the boat before they got
back to New York. The report was
that he fell down a hatchway when he
was drunk. but there were some ugly
stories in the papers about it. That
Italian sailor was one Of the crew."
where is he now"
"Over at Battle Orchard. He knows
his man and knows he'll be back. I'm
waiting for Henry. too. Helen gave
him $40, 900. The way the market is
running he's likely to go broke any
day. He plays stocks like a crazy
man, and after he's busted he'll be
back on our hands"
ITS hard on Miss Pat"
And it's harder on Helen. She's in
terror all the time for fear her father
will go up against the law and bring
further disgrace on the family. There's
her Uncle Arthur, a wanderer on the
face Of the earth for his sins. That
was bad enough without the res of It,"
That was greed, too. wasn't it?"
"No. just general cussedness. He
blew In the Holbrook bank and
skipped"
you told me that Henry Holbrook
found his way here ahead Of you. How
do you account for that?"
He looked at me quickly. and rose,
again pacing the narrow room.
81 don't! l wish l could"
IT'S about the last place In the
world to attract him. Port Annandale
is a quiet resort frequented by western
people only. There's neither hunting
nor fishing worth mentioning; and a
nan doesn't come from New York to
Indiana to sail a boat on a thimbleful
of water like this lake"
You are quite right"
IF Helen Holbrook gave him warn.
ing that they were coming here"
Don't you dare say it. She couldn't
have done, She wouldn't have done

to accuse her of connivance with Hen

CHAPTER XIII.
The Gate Of Dreams.

In my heart l was anxious to do
justice to Gillespie. Sad it is that we
are all so given to passing solemn
judgment on trifling testimony! l my
self am not impeccable. ] should at
any time give TO the lions a man who
uses his thumb as a pa%percutter; for
such a one is clearly marked for bru-
tally. My prejudices rally as to a
trumpet-call at the sight of a girl
wearing overshoes or nibbIfng bon
bons-the n suggestive Of predatory
habits and weak lungs, the other Of
nervous dyspepsia.
The night was fine, and after re-
turning my horse to the stable 1 con
tinued on to the Glenarm boathouse. I
was strolling along, pipe in mouth,
Inc was halfway up the ~boathouse
steps when a woman shrank away
from the veranda rail, where she had
been standing, gazing out upon the
lake. There was no mistaking her.
She was not even disguised tonight,
and as advanced across the little YER
anda she turned toward me. The lam
tern over the boathouse door sufused
us both as I greeted her.
Pardon me, Miss Holbrook; I'm
afraid l have disturbed your medita-
tions," I said. But if you don't
mind"
You have the advantage of being
on your W ground" she replied.
Il waive all my rights as tenant If
you will remain"
1T is much nicer here than on St.
Agatha's pier; you can see the lake
n the stars better. On the whole"
she laughed, II think l shall stay a
moment longer, If you will tolerate
me-"
l brought out some chairs and we
sat down by the rail, where we could
look out upon the star-sown heavens
and the dark floor of stars beneath.
Helen bent forward with her elbows
resting on the rail, her hands clasped
under her chin. The lamplight fell
full upon her slightly lifted head, and
upon her shoulders, over which lay a
nlmy veil. She hummed dreamily for
a moment while l watched her. Had
she n mood for the day and another
for the night? I had last seer her

He spoke soberly, and I had OBJ

a note OF melancholy crept into his
talk. He folded his arms and went
on: "She's a wonderful girl, Donovan.

Practically, though the brothers
never got on. You see my governor
was bit by their bank failure; and
Miss Pat resented the fact that he
backed of when stung. But the Gil

never squealed, which makes me sore
that your Aunt Pat gives me the icy

We were silent while the few sounds
