SYNOPSIS.

Miss Patricia Holbrook and Miss Helen
IiolDrook, her niece, were entrusted to
the care OF Laurance Donovan, a writer.
suTnrnering near Port Annandale. Miss
patricia conf1ded to Donovan that she
reared her brother Henry, who, ruined by
a Dank failure, had constantly threatened
her for money from his fathers will. Of
winch Miss Patricia was guardian. They
anne to Port Annandale to escape Henry.
Donovan sympathized with the two
women. He learned of Miss Helen's an
moving sutton. Donovan discovered and
captured an intruder. who proved to be
Reginald Gillespie. sutton for the hand of
Miss Helen Holbrook. Gillespie disap-
peared the following morning. A rough
sailor appeared and was ordered away.
Donovan saw Miss Holbrook and her ia
ther meet on friendly terms. Donovan
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
surltly. Gillespie was discovered by DON
ovan presenting a country church with
LOCO. Gillespie admitted he knew of Hol-
brooks presence. Miss Pat acknowledged
to Donovan that Miss Helen had been
missing for a few hours. While riding
in a launch. the Italian sailor attempted
to modest the trio, but failed. Miss Pat
announced her intention of lighting 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
with her father despite her aunt's
precautions, in a night meeting with Dom
ovan.

sidered the matter I concluded that
Helen Holbrook could readily slip out
at the back of the house, when the
guards thus met, and hat she had
thus found egress on the night before.
At this moment the two guards met
precisely at the front door, and to my
surprise Sister Margaret, in the brown
garb of her sisterhood, stepped out,
nodded to the watchmen in the light
of the ~overhanging lamp, and walked
slowly round the buildings and toward
the lake. The men promptly resumed
their patrol. The sister slipped away
like a shadow through the garden;
and dropped down from the wall in
side the school park and stole after
her. The guards were guilty of no
improperly in passing her; there was,
to be sure, no reason why Sister Mar
garet should not do precisely as she
liked at st. Agatha's. However, my
curiosity vas piqued, and | crept quiet

that fringed the wall. She followed a
path that led down to the pier. and |

pier flooring; and | drew as near as l

She stood beside the upright staff
from which the pier lights swung
the white lantern between the two red
ones-looking out across the lake. The
lights outlined her tall figure distinct
ly. She peered about a~nxiously sew
eral times, and | heard the impatient
tap of her foot on the planks. In the
lake sounded the faint gurgle Of water

had drawn me after the sister. Nuns

and this surely was no affair of mine.
Then the man stood up and | saw that
it was Gillespie. He was hatless, and
his arms were barred. He began TO
speak, but she quoted him with a
word; and as with a gesture she flung
back her brown hood. l saw th;-, !.

I'VE could almost walk to the lake
over the trees" said Miss Pat. It's a
charming picture"
Then, as We all turned to the lake,
seeing it afar across the t~ree-tops
| through the fragrant twilight, l saw
the Stiletto standing out boldly upon
the waters of Annandale. with a Ian
guild impudence that l began to as
sociate with its slim outlines and
snowy canvas. Other craft were
abroad, and Miss Pat, | judged, spoke
only of the prettiness of the general
landscape, and there was, to be sure.
no reason why the sails of the Stiietto
should have had any particular signif-
M for her. Helen was still looking
down upon the lake when Miss Pat
suggested that we should go home;
and even after her aunt called to her.
the girl still stood, one hand resting
upon the trunk of a great beech. her
gaze bent wistfully, mournfully to-
ward the lake. But on the homeward
drive-she had asked for the reins
again-her mood changed abruptly.
and she talked cheerily. often turning
her head-a scarlet-banded sailor hat
was. l thought. remarkably becoming
to chaff about her skill with the
reins.
Il haven't a care or trouble in the
world" declared Miss Pat when | left
them at st. Agatha's. Il am sure that

country, because it isn't so smoothed
out"
Il will grant you all Of that" | said.
Il will go further and admit-what is
much for me-that it is almost equal
to Killarney"

The previous night l had met Helen

with the hope of seeing her again that
I set forth. She was beautiful with a
