George stood irresolutely upon the
steps. A new keyhole! What the
deuce did the agent mean by putting
a 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
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 a tubbed bay-tree. Cautiously
he mounted this, holding the ledge of
the window with his fingers. That
he did not instantly topple over with
great noise was due to the fact
that he was temporarily paralyzed.
Hore 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
manned him Rut for hia continuing

When Mortimer returned from the
telephone, saying that Wadsworth
would be right over. he asked George
to explain fully what was going on.
It was rather 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 it in an
other bank. That was the extent OF
his relations with Arthur Wadsworth,
president of the MISUNDERSTANDING
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 cadaver-
GUS; his pale lips met in straight,
unpleasant line. There was not the
two brothers, either in their bodies
or in their souls. George recognized
| this fact Immediately. He disliked the
man instinctively, just as he could

house at once" began George.
"Please explain"
George disliked the voice even more
than the man himself. Everything
will be explained there" he replied.

complained.
"You will find it so. Come"

It is difficult to determine the Euse
of most aeroplane accidents. but $ur-
ing the investigation which followed
the fatal accident to Lieutenant Se-
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
ure as the operator started TO vol
plane. Experiments lately made in
France are said to have confirmed this,
and 1t Is now believed to be necessary
to guy the wings as substantially
above as below.
