Thornton. apparently oblivious to
this inquiry, continued: "Anita's Aunt
Minerva was there. She should have
been called Juno, for l never have

I though you'd like to take Aunt
Minerva for a row. said Anita. She

her out. But I'll tell her as gently as

Well, did you take the old lady
rowing?"
Did I? should say did! She
sat in the stern, and that end of the
boat sank so low that it was almost
submerged If 1t had been rough we
surely would have gone to the bottom
But that wouldn't have been a Sc
rious accident, for Aunt Minerva was
frightfully timid, and would not per

a tour Of the entire lake, and every
time l attempted to shorten our
course by steering toward deeper

toughest work l ever did in my life.
The perspiration rolled off me in

with which l had to push the foot

more than a quarter of the way

forty minutes of hard labor we finally

| He must sit quietly in the dark. listen

! boldly when he heard any one endeavor-

He sighed, for he was very tired, but
| the vigll was imperative
He dropped the drugget and scissors
and bent again over the portmanteau.
The packing operations might as we'll be
finished now, and, indeed, when the light
was extinguished, it would be better to
keep away from the window, through
which sudden thrust with an imple-
ment might do him an injury.
He took his discarded clothes and
arranged them on top Of the last par
cells of ore and diamonds Then he
reached out for a small bundle Of doc
uments resting on the chair behind
him, intending to place them in g lit
tie pocket in the flap which already
covered one-half Of the bag.
At that instant he again heard foot
steps OF course. a very few seconds
had elapsed since he first caught sight
OF the living sepcter without. The ideas
recorded at such length whfrled
through his active brain with lightning
speed, just as the knowledge now
came that the footsteps proceeded
from the entrance to the news and
firm regularity betokened the advent
of some person who had no special rea-
son TO conceal his movements.
Tho boy listened bresthlessly. The

another face peered over the curtain.
This time it was policeman.
For an instant their eyes met in nnu-
tual establishment Then the police
man came so close that his helmet
rested against a pane Of glass. He
grinned affably, and cried:
Here! I want to speak to you"
Intuitively grssping the essential fact
that his best policy was one Of ready
acquiescence. Philip sprang toward the
door and unlocked it. He stood on the
step. The constable approached.
II hope I didn't startle you," he be-
gan. but l Just looked in on the off
chance"
81 am very glad indeed to see you"
interrupted the boy. Il am leaving
here tomorrow. Just now. while l was
packing some of my belongings. q very
nasty-looking man came and peeped in
at me in the same way as you did

liceman half followed him. his quick

TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.

When the fourth bag was disposed
Of in the dark recess OF the scullery,
he paused for an instant to listen
There was not a sound Through the
window he could dimly discern the roof
Of the deserted stables opposite
He bent again to the task Of packing
the NTH portmanteau. and was placing
in It the last parcel OF ore and diamonds
when some OF the heavy contents fell
through one end where. the drugget
wrapping had been hastily folded
Shaking the package on the floor as
grocer beats down the contents OF a
sugar bag, he picked up the fallen spec
linens and put them in one by one.
when II dropped Inside there was
huge kernel a rough diamond quite as
large as a hens egg
Ph1ip smiled as he recalled his boast
to Is9acstein. He examined tho stone
critically. and realized that II II were
hawless It must be one of the marvels
Of creation without experiencing any
positive motive he slipped this unique
specimen into MS pocket. and went on
with the reconstruction OF the damaged
parcel.
At last he finished The portmsnteau
was lying open on the noor. when the
thought occurred to him that he might
have avoided the furry and trouble Of
carrying these heavy articles into the
Scullery II he had nailed a couple OF
Yards Of his druEget across the window
II was not too late even now to rec
tity this defect. He glanced at the win
dow TO ascertain how much material he
should cut off, and saw a face-an
evil brutal. suspicious face-peering at
him over the top Of the curtain,

she was too tired for tennis. When
she noticed that / was playing in
heeled pumps she said. n little Sc
verely, that she would lend me tennis
shoes. She sent Harold for a pair,
and l went into a gale of laughter
when I tried them on, as they were at

they looked too funny fancied
that Ruth looked chasrined when. as
Mr.. Hawley was helping me put on

something about Cinderella. Indeed,
Ruth seemed bored every time Mr.
Hawley made complimentary speech
to me

Sunday morning when she was as
sisting in the household duties | sug-
gested that Mr.. Hawley row me up
the bay to gather water lilies for the
dinner table.
I'D like so much to get some for
dear Mrs. Deane," l said. and I could
see that he felt Il was thoughtful Of
me When we got back after several
delicious hours on the water Ruth
was really cross because we were a
trifie late for dinner She is d
strangely tactless hostess.
While / was alone on the porch

in a hammoCk,gyoung Harold Joined
me and remarked that l was in bad
with Ruth" / asked him why.
You didn't do a thing to the ten
mis- court" he said. Your stills cut
II up like sausage meat We've got
to get man from the village to roll
it. II you want to make a hit next
time you come bring a pair Of rub

After this I made up my mind not
to stay any longer, for | confess

bic manner toward me. So when Mr.
Hawley said that he was going to
town on the evening train | asked
him II he would be so good as to act
as my escort. We had a delightful
trip, getting home just at midnight
He has called twice this week
Although l have written the incest

Mrs. Deane and Ruth. mentioning
how kind their friend Mr. Hawley
was TO me, I have not heard a word
from Ruth, She is dreadfully care
