And with that he slowly got to
his feet and led the way back to
the house.
Evelyn went directly to her
room. On the table were two lily
buds Poole had brought to her
from the lake back of the house
only that morning. She had met
him in the garden returning from
his before-breakfast plunge.
She stood holding them crushed
to her cheek, a dreaming, down
cast look in her eyes, a soft COM
motion stirring in her heart. He
must never know-she breathed
the confidence to the flowers.
Here was still another secret to
be guarded from this alert, all
perceiving young man. whom she
feared and now liked all too
strangely well.
A familiar whistle outside the
window broke upon her musings.
Glancing in the mirror as If to
detect upon her flushed face the
telltale marks OF her recent
thoughts. she went to the win

"oh. there you are" Archie,
on the lawn, looked up at her.

Two weeks slipped by. The
young people motored, canoed on
the lake, played tennis, and con-
cluded each day with afternoon
tea on the lawn. But nothing
was revealed in connection with
the robbery.
Poole and Evelyn were much
together, and at last Archie's pa
thence broke it's bonds.
Evelyn had just returned from
motoring to Burwick on house.
Keeping errands. Poole had left
the house with her, but did not
return in the car. She had dropped
him near the Saddle-back, not re-
luctantly-for he was continual
ly insisting that she knew some
thing about the theft of the ruby
but wonderingly. She would
have wondered still more had
she known that her guest struck
at once through the woods In the
direction of old man Spurling's
cabin.
AS she came up the veranda
steps she found Archie stretched
IN the hammock. He asked her
abruptly where she had been. She
told him nonchalantly. dropping
down into a chair, her eyes on
the distant hills.
Archie watched her discon-
tentedly. Suddenly he spoke.
Look here, EVE, when are you
going to marry me?"
oh, please, Archie, don't be-
gin that now" pleaded Evelyn.

floor, and faced his cousin
earnestly.
Yes, I shall. I'm going on
the war-path in earnest. You and
Poole are getting as thick as
thieves. It's going too far, and
m going to put a quietus or 1t
Tor good. 1 know who was

eyes were wide upon him.

why not. Thistles?"
"simply-beeause ask it.

bargain. Otherwise, tonight X all

love you enough"
But you do love me-"

her graver concern again became
dominant. but you won't tell
about that night?"

Evelyn shook her head uneer-
tainly. Colonel Winthrop looked
at her sharply. Look here,
Evie, your face tells me there is
something you're holding back.
Can't you share it with me in
confidence?"
With sudden decision, Evelyn
faced him. Il will tell you. Uncle.

the money from the safe"

she reeounted her tale.

ing, what IL the house should be

Finally / did browse off. After

IL came from the direction of the
library. ! got up and went to the
door and looked down the hall.
There was no light, but l was
sure someone was in the library
I was too scared to do anything
but creep back to bed. A few
minutes later l heard the soft
footsteps again, this time coming
nearer. huddled under the bed

the screen without making the
slightest noise, and climbed out.
1T gave me an awful scare,
though of course when I saw that
il was Jack l wasn't so frightened.
But l was still worried about the
jewels, for fear a real burglar
might come after all. l thought
they would be much safer under
my pillow, so l got up and tiptoed
down the library. But when l got
there-my courage seemed to give
out all of a sudden, and ran
back to my room. In bed l lay
listening for more sounds-but
there weren't any-and then
must have fallen to sleep"
And then in a still more hest
tant voice, Evelyn told her uncle
of Jacks asking for 5000 that
first night at home, and his rea-
son for the request. OF her own
finding of the ruby in his coat
pocket the next morning she was
silent. That somehow, she felt,
she must keep to herself.
The colonel gazed thoughtfully
at the tennis court, where Jack

Then you think it's Jack that

heart was sick with apprehension.

Il don't know. Why should he
