Now, I didn't roam my aunt's house
just for fun. l was doing my best to
keep Cecilia from getting into some
scrape about that seventh sutton plan
l found out by chance how to get into
Hopefeld and about the hidden stair
way and the old rooms tucked away
there. Papa really discovered that.
A. carpenter in Katonah who worked
o. the house helped to build papa's
bungalow, and he told us how that
ruin came to be there. That dys.
pepsia cure man, who also immortal
lied himself by inventing the ribless
umbrella, was very superstitious. He
believed that if he built an entirely
new house he would die. So he had
his architect build around and retain
those two rooms and that stairway OF
a house that had been on the ground
almost since the Revolution. MI. Pep
perton, the architect. humored him
but hid the remains Of the relic as fa1
out Of sight as possible"
'Trust Pep for that! And he did II
neatly"
Yes; but it didn't save the umbrella
man. He died anyhow-or maybe his
pies killed him. Papa was so curious

three flung themselves into their chairs.
The alacrity of their consent had IN

"If Ormsby turns up the card you're
a dead man." Dick was muttering
gloomily.
They're all alike to me-" I replied
loudly. "Mr. Ormsby is very beauti-
full. l shall hope not to disfgure him
permanently" But as l spoke nv

and heavy one-lay an upturned card,
the jack of clubs. whose Lore symbol
magniied itself enormously in my
amazed eyes.
At this ome | became conscious
that something had occurred to dis
tract the attention Of the other men,
who were staring at some one who

Gentlemen. you seem immensely In

Gorse and Henderson paid similar
tributes to the apostate, whose melan-
choly grin only deepened.
Henderson rallied for a final shot
at me.
"a good horsewhipping is what Won

at me.

night just before Aunt Octavia moved

and the stair and the secret spring by
which, it you know just where to poke
the wall in the fourth floor hall you
can disappear as mysteriously as you
please"
But how on earth did you darken
the halls so easily? You nearly gave
me heart disease doing that"
ooh. that was a mere matter of a

how easily l could pass you on the

it was no end of fun to see just how

Then hasten. Let us be after it,"
Things are in a serious predicament,
l can tell you. l was frightened when
I looked into that notebook. l didn't
like to do that, but l had to assist
Providence a little. Five men have al

Then why don't they clear out and

"Oh, it's their pride, 1 suppose. and

the characters now upon the stage in
such manner that Virgins should be-
come the seventh man. Cecilia could
not always run away from him with
out violating the terms of her aunt's
stipulation, and it was unlikely that
she would attempt further to guide or
thwart the pointing finger Of fate. I
relied little upon any arrangement eff
fected among the Suitors to stand to-
gether. Hume had already found a
chance to speak. arrd Arrowood had
bitten the dust and turned his face
homeward, and Virgins had been near
the brink only that morning. 1t was
unlikely that any of the active candi-
dates remaining would stumble upon
the key to the situation, which HeZe-
kiah had given into my keeping.
1t was well on toward 2 o'clock when
1 approached the inn. Before long the
suitors would depart for their after
moor call at the manor, which was an
established event of the day. Just as I
was about to enter the gate l was ar
rested by an imperious voice calling,
and John Stewart Dick came running
toward me. To my surprise he greeted
me cordially, even offering his hand.
