She had risen to meet him by the
time he had mounted the steps, and
he knew that her first glance was ap-
praisive. He had confidently counted
upon being mistaken for strange pa

was not disappointed. = =

gave her the round-cornered card with

ployment
he was watching her narrowly when
she read the name and it's underline,
| and the quick indrawing of the breath
ana the little shudder that went with
1t were not thrown away upon him.
But the other signs; the pressing of
the even teeth upon the lower lip and
the coming and going of three straight
lines between the half-closed eyes
were not so favorable.

Mr." she had to look at the card
again to get the name-"Mr Broffin?"
she asked
THANK you, miss; it's plenty good
enough out here for me If it is for
YOU, he returned, beginning to fear
that the commsn ciyilities were Civ
ing her time to get behind her de-
lenses.
Il guess we can take it for granted
that you know what l want, Miss
Farnham.' he began abruptly. when
he had shifted his chair to face her
rocker. "Something like three months
ago, or whereabouts, you went into a
bank in New Orleans to get draft
cashed. While you were at the pay
ing tellers' window robbery was
committed, and you saw it done and
saw the man that did it, I've come
to get you to tell me the mans
name"
Il have told it once, in letter to
Mr.. Galbraith"
Brofiin nodded. Yes; in a letter
that you didn't sign. I've come all
the way from New Orleans. to get
you to tell me his real name, Miss
Farnham."
why do you think l can tell you?"
was the undisturbed query.
"A lot Of little things" said the de-
tective, who was slowly coming to his
own in the matter of self-assurance
I'm the first place, he spoke to you
in the bank, and you answered him.
Isn't that SOP"
She nodded again. you know so
much, it is surprising that you don't

alone. The walking excursions had
led him most frequently up and down
the lakeside drive, but the doctors
house stood well back in it's enclosure
and there was much shrubbery. Once
he heard her voice: she was reading
aloud to someone on the vine-screened
porch. And once again in passing, he
had caught glimpse of shapely arm
with the loose sleeve falling away
from it as it was thrust upward
through the porch greenery to pluck
bud from the crimson rambler add
ing it's graceful mass to the Chamber
ing vines. 1t was rather disappoint-
ing, but he was not inpatient In the
fullness of time the destiny which had
twice interviewed would intervene
again. He was as certain of it as he
was of the day-to-day renewal of his
strength and vitality; and he could af-
ford to wait. For, whatever else might
happen in mutable world, neither an
ideal nor it's embodiment may suffer
change.
AS if to add the touch of definiteness
to the presumptive conclusion, voice
broke in upon his reverie; the voice of
the young woman whose most alluring
charm was her many-sided changeful-
ness, as if she had marked his preoc-
cupied gaze and OWNED it's object:
"You must have little more patience,
Mr.. Griswold. All things come to him
who waits. When you have left Mere
side finally, Doctor BERTHE will some
time take you home to dinner with
| him."
For his own peace Of mind, Girls
void hastily assured himself that it
was only the widest of chance shots.
Since the day when he had admitted
that he knew Miss Farnham's name
without knowing Miss Farnham in per-
son, the doctors daughter had never
been mentioned between them.
'How did you happen to guess that
l was thinking of the good doctor?" he
asked, curiously.
"You were not thinking of Doctor
BERTHE; you were thinking of Doctor
Bertie's only" was the laughing con-
tradiction; and Griswold was glad that
the coming of the man with the trap
saved him from the necessity of fall
ing any farther into what might easily
prove to be dangerous pitfall. 1t was
not the first time that Miss Grierson
had seemed able to read his fnmost
thoughts.
The short afternoon drive paused
at the curb in front of Jasper Grier-
sons bank and moment later he
found himself bringing up the rear of
a procession of three, led by young
woman with bunch of keys at her
| girdle.
Number three-forty-ive-A, please"
his companion was saying to the young
woman custodian, and he stood aside
and admired the workmanship of the
complicated time-locks while the two
entered the archaeological safety de-
posit vault and jointly opened one of
the multitude Of small safes. When
| Miss Grlerson came out, she was car
rying small, japanned document box
under her arm, and her eyes were
shining with soft light that was new
to the man who was waiting in the
corridor. Come with me to one of
the coupon rooms" she said; and

can imagine that tied it up again,
quickly, and didn't lose any more time
than I could help in putting it away
in the safest place l could think Of.
Every day since you began to get we'll,
I've been expecting you to say some
thing about it; but as long as you
wouldn't. I wouldn't"
Slowly the blood came back into the
saner channels, and the whispering
demon at his ear grew less articulate.
He took the necessary forward step
and stood before her. And his answer
was no answer at all.
"Miss Grierson-Margery- you
telling me the truth all of it," he de-
manded, seeking to pinion the soul
which lay beyond the deepest depth
of the limpid eyes.
Her laugh was as cheerful as a bird
song
Telling you the truth? How could
you suspect me of such thing! No,
my good friend; no woman ever tells
man the whole truth when she can
help it. l didn't find your money, and
I didn't lock it up in poppa's vault: l
