That was the whole history, brief.

at the house at half-past ten. Direct

said. Then he sat down in the oak
chair before the fire.
We were all greatly puzzled. We
did not see why this second purchaser
should be invited to come. Beatrix
Smith had nothing more to sell. The
transaction seemed to us to have ar
rived at its final act, the curtain down
and the lights out.

and slipped back up the great stair

actly as he says" I whispered when
we were outside the door. "and hurry"
She promised and went swiftly up
stairs to the telephone.
In a very few minutes Gilbert VIII
lIams arrived. He was q red-haired
old fellow with a face like a fox, and
beady eyes set obliquely In his head.
Randolph Mason arose when he came
In, and explained that as Mrs. Smith
wished to leave America at once, she
had determined to sell her lands, pro-
vided cash was paid. The lands were
worth thirty thousand dollars, but her
husband was absent and could not
convey his curtesy In the deed. She
would therefore take twenty thousand
cash and make a deed on the spot.
Gilbert Williams snapped up the offer.
He did not are anything about the
curtesy OF the husband. The land
itself was worth nothing, the timber
only was valuable. His mills would
cut II off in a year. and he was willing
to take the chance OF Mrs. Smiths
living that long. He produced a deed,
which he had brought with him to
New York, and ran a pen through the
blank which II contained for the hus-
bands name. Beatrix signed the deed,
and the notary who accompanied VIII
liams filled In the acknowledgment
and affixed his seal in proper form.
Gilbert Williams wrote out a check
on the Importers Bank OF Commerce
for twenty thousand dollars. We ascer-
tanned by telephone to the cashier
at his residence that the check was
good. Williams then folded his deed,
put II In his pocket and departed with
the notary. The whole matter had
taken less than twenty minutes TO bring
TO a close.
Randolph Mason inquired at what

lous land thieves said to infest the
mountain districts Of the virginias.
But her great care was not suflcient
against the ingenuity Of these pirates.
After one Of the periodic assessments
OF real estate, one thousand acres OF
estate were listed on the land
books under the name OF Walden. re-
turned delinquent, and sold for taxes.
The land was purchased by Gilbert
Williams. president OF the Black Creek
Lumber company, for $36.s5. She had
paid no attention to the sale, not
recognizing her land under this name
until she came TO have the estate sur
veyed a few months ago, some 1--WE or
six years after Its purchase at the tax
sale by Gilbert Williams. She also
learned that the whole thing was a
well planned and effective scheme Of
this owner OF the Black Creek Lumber
company to steal her land. These wild
lands had vastly increased in value.
This company and a rival one, the
Export Spruce company, were exceed
ingly anxious to purchase the remain
Ing tract. They would give, she
thought, twenty dollars an here for II.
The agents OF the two companies had
been at her heels ever since she ar
rived in New York. Gilbert williams
was now at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
He had endeavored to reach her by
telephone this very evening. He of.
fered a little better price than the
Export Spruce company. but he could
we'll afford TO, since he It was that
had stolen half the land. The agent
OF the Export Spruce company was
at the Holland. His note, on the table,
requested an interview with her at
any hour she would name, day or
night. This indicated how very de-
sirous they were for the land. Such
a sale would yield her twenty thou
sand dollars. All the lands would have
given her the forty thousand which
she needed. Her name now was
Beatrix Smith; she had married Lieu.
