and wonder, and stared at the silhou-
cited body at pause just outside the
window. The fellow was stoomng to
peer in. Had Drummond hunted him
down to this isolate hiding place? On
the thought he leaped up, in two
strides slammed out through the door.
Il say" he cried loudly. But he
cried, apparently, to empty air. The
man was gOne-vanished as strangely
and as quietly as he had appeared.
Pausing and glaring round the clear
ing in complete bewilderment, he de-
tected or else fancied slight move
ment in the shadows on the edge of the
encompassing woodland. Instantly,
Needless of the risk he ran If the man
were indeed Drummond and if Drum

body waiting there to be caught.
But if anyone had been there, he had
unquestionably fled along the trail.
Whitaker in a rage set himself to fol-
low. Before he realized he could have
covered half the distance, he emerged
abruptly into the clearing of the Fiske
place.
Here he pulled up, for the first time
alive to the intrinsic idiocy of his con-
duct, and diverted besides by the dis
covery that his impression of the early
evening, that the cottage was teEanted,
had been well founded.
The ground floor windows shone with
a dim but warm illumination. He could
see distinctly part of a living room
rather charmingly furnished in sum-
merry way. At its farther end a dark
haired woman in a plain black dress
with a short apron and lace cap sat
reading by INTELLECTUALLY a
maid. Her MISUNDERSTANDING by APP
pearances-was outside on the lawn
below the veranda, strolling TO and fro
IN company with somewhat short and
heavy man who wore an automobile
buster and visOred cap. BY contrast,
her Whitehead figure, invested with
the illusion of moonlight, seemed I'M
usually tall. Her hair was fair, shin
ing like headdress of palest gold as
she bent her head, attentive to her
companion. And Whitaker thought to
discern an unusual quality in her
movements, a quality of charm and a
graciousness of mien rarely to be no
ticed even in the most beautiful of
the women he had known.
OF a sudden the man paused, pro-
duced a watch from beneath his dust
er, consulted it briefly and shut the
case with a snap. He said something

In brusque tone, and was answered
by what sounded like pleasant mega
tive. Promptly, as if annoyed, he
turned and strobe hastily away, disap-
pearing round the house.
Alone, the woman watched him as
long as he was in sight, her head to
one side with an effect of critical
amusement. Then, with low laugh,
she crossed the veranda and entered
the lighted room. At the same time
Whitaker, lingering and watching
without in the least understanding or
even questioning why he was doing
this thing so contrary to his instincts,
heard the heavy rumble of motor car
on the far side of the house and saw
the machine swing off across the clear
ing into the woods.
In the living room the woman was
saying: you may go now, Elise. I'll
be ready for bed before long,"
eyes, madam" The maid rose ard
moved brisllly out of sight.
Her mistress, casting aside a scarf
of embroidered Chinese brocade, stood
for a moment in deep thought, her
head bowed, the knuckle of slender
f0refinger tapping her chin-charm-
ingy posed. Whitaker abruptly I'M
derstoOd why it was he loitered, peep
ing--she was absolutely beautiful, a
creature both exquisite and superb, a
matchless portrait for the galleries Of
his memory.
Something-a movement or perhaps
slight sound-had drawn his atten-
ton from the woman. He saw the
other man standing boldly in full
moonlight, all his attention concentrate
ed on the brilliant picture framed by
the window He was unqueStionably
without knowledge of the nearness of
the other-of Whitaker in the shad-
ows. And though his back was to the
moon and his face further Swallowed
by peaked cap, Whitaker was abso
lutely sure of the mamie was GER
tainly Drummond.
Without pause for thought, he sprang
toward him, in a guarded voice utter
ing his name-"Drummond" But the
fellow proved too alert and quick for
him. Whitaker's hands closed on moth
ing more substantial than thin air; at
the same time he received blow upon
his bruised shoulder smart and forcibe
enough to stagger him and evoke an in
voluntary grunt of pain. And before
he could regain his balance the fellow
was thrashing noisily away through
the woodland underbrush. Il
Forthwith he struck off and blum
dered senselessly through the forest,
misled by it's elusive phantasmagoria,
until, realizing at length he did but
duplicate an earlier folly, he gave up
the chase in disgust and slowly made
his way back to the bungalow.

He selected book from several
shelves stocked with a discriminating

fire.
The day wore out before his patience
did, and with every indication of full

How long he sat unstirring preoccu-

when he was disturbed. The sound of

CHAPTER X.
The Spv.


Already the sun was warm, the faint
breeze bland. Standing at the window
and shading his eyes against the glare,
Whitaker surveyed world new
washed and radiant; the landlocked
bay dimpled with vagrant catspaws
and smitten with sunlight as with a
scimitar Of fire; the earth fresh and
fragrant, steaming faiIrtly in the ar
dent glow of the dawn.
In another moment he was at the
kitchen door, interrupting Sum Fats
first matutinal attentions to his teeth
with demand for a bathing suit.
Three minutes later, from the end of
the small dock, he dived neatly, COM
ing to the surface with his flesh tin
Cling with delight of the cool water !;
then, with the deliberate and powerful
movements of an experienced swim
mer, struck away from the land. Two
hundred yards out he paused, rolled
over on his back, and, hands clasped
beneath his head, fioated serenely, sun
light warming his upturned face, his
body rejoicing in the suave, clean, fluid
embrace.
Then something disturbed him-a
dull fiuttering, vibrant upon his sub
merged eardrums. Extending his arms
and moving his hands gently to pre-
serve his poise, he lifted hic head from
the water. From the landing stage on
the Fiske place a motor boat was
standing out. The churning of it's pro-
peller had aroused him. He could see
but single person for all its crew.
Seated astern, dividing her attention
between the side steering wheel and
the engine, she was altogether ignorant
of the onlooker. Only her head and
shoulders showed above the coaming-
her head with its shining crown, her
shoulders cloaked with a light wrap
gathered at the throat.
Whitaker, admiring, wondered :.
Sweeping in a wide arc as 1t gath
cred speed, the boat presently shot out
smartly on a straight course for the
barrier beach.
Why? What business had she theref
And at an hour so early?
No affair of his-Whitaker admitted
as much freely. And yet he was be-
ginning his fourth day on the Great
West bay without having set foot upon
its Great South beach, Ridiculous
oversight! And one to be remedied
without another hours delay.
Grinning with amused liberation of
his own perverse sophistry, he turned
over on his side and struck out i'm the
wake of the motor boat. When at
length he waded ashore he found the
motor boat moored in shallow water
at the end of a long and substantial
dock. He patted the TANKS of the YES
sci as he waded on.
Good little boatl" said he.
Walking rapidly, very soon he stood
at the head of rude flight of wooden
steps which ran down from the top of
wave-eaten sand bluff, some ten or
twelve feet in height, to the broad and
gently shelving ocean beach. Midway
between the sand bluff and the break
ing waters stood the woman Whitaker
had followed. (There wasn't any use
mincing terms-he had followed her
in his cOnfounded, fatuous curiosity y
Her face was to the sea, her hands
clasped behind her. Now the wind
