FOURTEENTH INSTALLMENT
AELEN'S RACE AGAINST TIME

a fortnight spent at the Hotel Holly,
Holmes. The princely munificence OF
her foster uncle, Amos Rhinelander,
in making her again through his gift
of substantial interest in the Super
stition mine. a young woman OF large
means, had restored her to social re-
sponsibillties. These were hers by
right of birth and inheritance but she
had been deprived OF them by the un-
timely death of her father
Nor was her benefactor man to do
things by halves. During the time
that Helen was his guest in the city.
ne seemed an unusually busy man. AL
ways fully occupied, his time now was
hardly his own, so frequent were his
dashes In and out of town, and so
many .-s engagements. And during
this TIM something of an air of mys-
tery SURROUNDED his movements despite
all he coe;t do to make them appear
as OF ordinary routine imposed on him
by his railroad interests. To Helens
frequent queries as to what he was do
ing day after day. Rhinelander re-
turned answers which no doubt seemed
to him to satisfy her. But Helen per
ceived these were mere evasious cal
cuiated to put her on and kept her in

plans for the future, resumed his sub

I'm going to make a request OF you
now that may seem very peculiar. You
know, as well as do, how my nephew,

but left her alone. 1t certainly was
rather n bitter thing for her. But she
knew she owed more than that to her
benefactor.
Rhinelander was quite right. Sea
grue had been rapidly going to pieces.
He was comforting that day with Ward
and with Adams, his servant, concern
ing their unsuccessful attempt to Oh
tain possession OF the Superstition
mine. The slightest mishap to Sea
grue's plans served now to infuriate
him TO a degree OF anger such as
he had never previously given way to. |

They wandered some distance from
the house. But unfortunately for theiI

Rhinelander, meeting these as well as
he could, was compelled to dispatch
Spike on search for Helen.
Spike. who had lost none of his apti'
tude for situations, found her with
Storm among the oaks, and in spite
of storms disgusted expression he de
livercd his imperative message. And,
conscience stricken at having neglect
ed her duties as hostess, Helen hurried
away.
Storm. in an eXuberance of happi-
ues., watched her go. But another
than Spike had seen the happy pair
from a distance and watched with en-
yious eyes some OF their exchanges of
