A Bottle of Wine.

George stood irresolutely upon the
steps. A new keybole! What the
deuce did the agent mean by putting
new keyhole In the door without
notifying him? AS the caretaker never
entered that door, it was all the
agents fault. There was no area-way
in front but between Georges house
and the next there was court eight
feet In width, running to the dividing
wall between the bank property and
his own A grille gate protected this
court. George had key. The gate
opened readily enough. His intention
was to enter by the basement-door.
But he suddenly paused. To his
amazement he saw just below the
library curtain a thin measure OF
light. Light! Some one in the house!
He did the most sensible thing pos
sible: he stood still till the shock left
him. Some one in the house, some
one who had no earthly or heavenly
business there! Near the window
stood q tubbed bay-tree. Cautiously
he mounted this, holding the ledge of
the window with his fingers. That
he did not instantly topple over with
a great noise was due to the fact
that he was temporarily paralyzed.
Here was the end OF the puzzle. The
riddle of the United Romance and Ad-
venture Company was solved. At last
he understood why Mrs. Chedsoye
had sought him. why Ryanne had kid
mapped him. But for his continuing

When Mortimer returned from the
telephone, saying that Wadsworth
would be right over. he asked George
to explain fully what was going on.
1t was rather a long story. George
managed to get through it with CO.
herency understandable, but no more.
George inspected the revolvers care
fully to see if they were loaded.
The bell rang, and Arthur Wads-
worth came in Mortimer knew him;
George did not. He drew his interest
as it fell due and deposited 1t In an
other bank. That was the extent OF
his relations with Arthur Wadsworth,
president of the Northumberland
Bank of New York.
Arthur was small, thin, blond like
his brother, but the hair was so light
upon the top of his head that he gave
one the impression that he was bald.
His eyes looked out from behind half
shut lids; his cheeks were cadayer-
GUS; his pale lips met in straight,
unpleasant line There was not the
slightest resemblance between the
or in their souls George recognized
this fact Immediately. He disliked the
man instinctively, just as he could
not help admiring his rogue OF a
brother.
II want you to go with me to my
house at once" began George.
"Please explain"
George disliked the voice even more
than the man himself. Everything
will be explained there" he replied.
"This is very unusual" the banker
complained.
"You will find it so. Come"
George moved toward the hall. the re-
yolvers in his coat-pocket.

had something human in 1t now; a
note Of affection.
Arthur Wadswortn loved the bank
as a man loves his sweetheart, Dut

agitation. Fortune walked ahead with

It is difficult to determine the cause
of most aeroplane accidents, but dur
ing the investigation which followed
the fatal accident to Lieutenant Sc
velle recently in France an important
discovery is said to have been made
by eye-witnesses. This was that the
wing of his Bleriot broke downward
instead of upward, indicating that
there was an extreme downward press

France are said to have confirmed this,

it was only because George threatened
to warn the conspirators that he sub

not obey, you can get out of it the
best you know how. Now, silence,
absolute silence"
He pressed back the grille gate,
and the others tiptoed after him.
Ryanne tipped the third bottle deli
cately. Not drop was wasted. How
the golden beads swarmed up to the
brim, to break into tile essences OF
perfume! And this was good wine;

cover what 1t was that gave this SUI

And so it proved to be. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Mortimer greeted them at

the face of the girl was sufficient Mrs.
Mortimer held out her arms. 1t was
very fine thing to do.

Shyly Fortune accepted the en-

Never had she felt arms like these

in whisper.
"That he loved you and wanted me

new mother did was to put an arm
about her and draw her closer.
The Mortimer home was only three
blocks away from Georges. SO, when
dinner was over, George declared that
he would run over and take look at
his own house. He wanted to wander
| about the rooms bit, to fancy how
it would look when Fortune walked
at his side. He promised to return
within an hour He had forgotten
many things, ordinarily important;
such as wiring his agent, his butler
and cook, who were still drawing their
wages. He passed along the street
above which was his own. He paused
for a moment to contemplate the
| great banking concern. And the pres
ident Of this bank was the elder
brother of Ryanne! Lots Of queer
kinks in the world; lots of crooked
| turnings. He passed on, turned the
corner, and strobe toward his home,
ran UP the steps. Three doors below
ecstasy thrilling his heart. Lightly be
noticed two automobiles. He gave
them only a cursory glance. He took
out his ring Of keys, found the night
| latch and thrust it into the keyhole.
He never had believed in this putting
up of iron gates and iron shutters. A
night-latch and caretaker who came
round once a day was enough for any
sensible person. He turned the key.
Eth? 1t didn't seem to go round. He
tried several times, but without sue
cess. Puzzled, he struck match and
stopped before the keyhole.
1t was new one.
