situation. Il could not understand

written me of something he has dis

me the details, as we'll as place within
my hands certain necessary papers.
Il appreciate your feelings" he said
gently, as she paused, "but would you
mind telling me the nature of those
papers?"
There was something in Keith's
face which told of honesty, and in
spired confidence. Miss Maclaire's
worldly experience had given her deep
insight into the character of men, and

gray eyes, she felt impelled to answer.

They were both standing, the wom-

her hands clinched. Keith, realizing
the false position into which he had
drifted hesitated to answer. He
meant to tell her the whole story, and
urge her to cooperate with him in
learning the gamblers purpose. The
woman impressed him as honest at
heart, in spite of her life and environ
ment; she was not one whom a swim
dler could easily dupe into becoming

There was rap at the door. The
