Then her handsome face famed with
wrath. She turned her back con-
temptuously on Wilkerson and stared
across the water at the launch which
was pursuing them.
In the bitterness Of her heart was no
mingling of pity for her tool; only self
contempt that she had depended on
him. helped him.
When she could control herself she
went forward to get out Of sight Of
the mocking heap Of rubbish that had
cost so much.
Presently a sailor made excuse to
come aft and peered at the pile Of
junk. The idol caught his eye. and he
stealthily caught it up and hid 1t in
his shirt.
Good in a pawnshop." he chuckled
Thus once more the plans Of the
mother lode Of the Master Key" mine
escaped from Willzerson's hlchlng fin
gers.
When the launch put into San Pedro
Mrs. Darnell did not wait for Wilker
son.

you'll find me at the hOtel-if you
think it worth your while"
He looked up from his business Of
settling with the divers and made q
gesture to detain her. He seemed to
call out some inarticulate plea.
She merely smiled again and left,
She paid no attention to one Of the
sailors who brushed by her, clutching
a concealed object beneath his jacket
This individual. once clear OF the wa.
ter front. quickly made his way to
a pawnbroker's shop. and the idol
changed hands for a small sum after
much haggling.
Before Wilkerson had settled with
the diver John DORIS launch also
made its landing. and the two enemies
would have met except that Wilkerson
had to 90 to bank TO cash a draft.
As he slipped away be saw the other
boat and laughed bitterly. Dorr was
welcome to what there was in the old
chest
"There is just one thing to do" John
told the broken hearted Ruth, 'and
that is to find out what wilkerson did
with what he got from your fathers
chest"
The captain Of the other boat re-
ceived them with a good humored
grin and in answer to their inquiries
pointed to the open box and the arti-
cles scattered on the deck.
80 far as l could make out" he
went on, there wasn't anything in the
old chest worth the trouble Of going
after. At any rate Mr.. Wilkerson and
the lady seemed disappointed and put
out"
"Didn't they take anything? de-
manded Ruth, peering curiously at the
moldy sea chest.
''Not a thing, so far as could dis
cover" was the reply. "In fact, l
heard the two Of them kind of quar-
reling, and the lady went of by her
self"
The three of them stared down at
the mementos Of the long past TRACE
dy. and then the captain suddenly ejac-
ulated. "Yes, there is one thing miss

In the New York home of James Brood
Dawes and Riggs. his two old pensioners
and comrades, await the coming of
Brood's son Frederic to learn the contents
of a wireless from Brood, but Frederic.
after reading, throws it into the fire and
leaves the room without word. Frederic
tells Lydia Desmond, his fiancee, that the
message announces his fathers marriage
and orders the house prepared for an inn
mediate Homecoming. Mrs. Desmond. the
housekeeper and Lydia's mother. tries to
cool Frederics temper at the impending
changes. Brood and his bride arrive She
wins Frederic's liking at first meeting
Brood shows dislike and yelled hostility to
his son. Lydia and Mrs. Brood meet in
the jade-room, where Lydia works as
Brood's Secretary. The room, dominated
by a great gold Buddha. Brood's father

nificence- Mrs. Brood. after talk with
Lydia. which leaves the latter puzzled. Is
disturbed by the appearance of Ranjab:

Usually at nine O'Clock they strolled
into the study and smoked one of
Brood's cigars with the gusto of real
guests 1t was their habit to saunter
about the room, inspecting the treas
ures with critical. appraising eyes.
very much as if they had never seen
them before. They even handled some
of the familiar objects with an air of
bewilderment that would have done
credit to a Cooks tourist 1t was also
a habit of theirs to try the doors of
large teakwood cabinet in one cor
ner of the room The doors always
were locked. and they sighed with
patient doggedness. Some day, how
ever. Ranjab would forget to lock
those doors, and then
Joe," Mr.. Dawes, after he had tried
the doors on this particular occasion,
Il made a terrible mistake in letting
poor Jim get married again. I'll never
forgive myself" He had said this at
least hundred times during the past
three months. Sometimes he cried
over it. but never until he had found
that the cabinet doors were locked.
Il wish Jack Desmond had lived, I"
unused the other, paying no attention
to the egotism- He would have
put stop to this fool marriage
They sat down and pondered.
Jim's getting mighty cranky of
late" ruminated Dawes, putting away
at his unlighted cigar. It's a caution
the way he snaps Freddy off these
days. He-he hates that boy, joe"
''Shi Not so loudi"
"Confound you, don't you know a
whisper when you hear it?" demanded
Dawes, who, in truth, had whispered
Another potential silence FREDDY
goes about with her a good deal more
than he ought to-" said Riggs at last.

I've notion to tell Jim he ought
to put a stop to it," said the other.
1T makes me sick
"JimIl do it without being told one

Say, have you noticed how peaked
Lydia's looking these days? She's not
the same girl, Dan. not the same girl.
Something's wrong" He shook his
head gloomily.
Its that doggoned woman an
nounced Dawes explosively, and then
looked over his shoulder with appre-
hension in his blear eyes. A sigh of
relief escaped him.
''She's got no business coming in be-
tween Lydia and Freddy said Riggs.
Looks as though she's just set on
busting it up. What can she possibly
have against poor little Lydia? She's
good enough for Freddy. Too good, by
hockey! Specially when you stop to
think
Dawes glared at him. Now don't
begin gossiping. You're as bad as
an old woman"
Thinking amt gossiping. confound
you. If 1 wanted to gossip I'd up and
say fatty that Jim Brood knows-down
in his soul that Freddy is no son of

No. but can put two and two TO-

I'D advise you to shut up"
"Oh, you would, would you?" with
vast scorn. I'D like to know who it
was that talked to Mrs Desmond
about it. Who put 1t into her head
that Jim doubts"
Well, didn't she say 1 was a lying

umphantly. Didn't she call me down.

could expect than that Didn't she

as she said she would And didn't
advise her to do it anyway, on the
ground that you're an old woman

That's got nothing to do with the
present case" interrupted Dawes

what they pleased to call "a nest"
Lydia may have seen the cloud in their
sky, but he did not. To him, the world
was bright and gladstone, without a
| shadow to mar it's new beauty. He
was enthusiastic, eager, excited. She
fell in with his spirit, but her pleas
ure was shorn of some of it's keenness
by the odd notion that it was not to
endure.
He even dragged Yvonne around to
the little fat, to expatiate upon its
coziness with visual proof to support
his somewhat exaggerated claims. Her
lazy eyes took in the apartment at a
glance, and she was done with it.
Tits very charming she said. with
her soft drawL Have you no ciga-
rettes, Lydia?"
The girl flushed and looked at Fred
eric for relief. He promptly produced
his own cigarettes. Yvonne lighted
one and then stretched herself COM
fortably in the Morris chair in which
no woman ever had appeared comfort
able before-or since, perhaps
You should learn to smoke" she
went on.
Mother wouldn't like me to smoke, %
said Lydia, rather bluntly.
A faint frown appeared on Frederic's
brow, only to disappear with Yvonne's
low, infectious laugh.
"And Freddy doesn't like you to
smoke, either, ai-e?" she said
He may have changed his mind re-
Gently, Mrs. Brood said the girl,
smiling so frankly that the edge was
taken off of a rather direct implica-
ton
Il don't mind women smoking" put
in Frederic hastily. I'm fact, 1 rather
like it, the way Yvonne does it. It's a
very graceful accomplishment"
But l am too clumsy to- began
Lydia.
MY dear" interrupted the Partisan,
carelessly fecking the ash into a jar
diniere at her elbow, 1T is very
naughty to smoke. and clumsy women
never should be naughty. If you real
ly feel clumsy, don't, for my sake, ever
try to do anything wicked. There is
nothing so distressing as an awkward
woman trying to be devilish."
ooh, Lydia couldn't be devilish if
she tried" cried Frederic, with a quick
glance at the girls half-averted face.
Don't say that, Frederic" she cried
That's as much as to say that 1 am
clumsy and awkward
and you are not" said Yvonne de-
cisively. You are very pretty and
graceful and adorable, and l am sure
you could be very wicked if you set
about to do it,
Thank you," said Lydia dryly
by the way, this window looks al
most directly down into our court
yard" said Yvonne abruptly. She was
leaning on her elbow, looking out upon
the housetops below. There is my bal

suddenly. passing look of fear in
