FOURTEENTH INSTALLMENT
HELEN'S RACE AGAINST TIME

A fortnight spent at the Hotel Holly
wood went very rapidly for Helen
Holmes. The princely munifcence of
her foster uncle, Amos Rhinelander,
in making her again through his gift
of substantial interest in the Super
stition mine, young woman of large
means, had restored her to social re-
sponsibilities. These were hers by
right of birth and inheritance but she
had been deprived of them by the I'M
timely death of her father.
Nor was her benefactor a man to do
things by halves. During the time
that Helen was his guest in the city.
he seemed an unusually busy man. AL
ways fully occupied, his time now was
hardly his own, so frequent we're his
dashes in and out of town, and so
many his engagements. And during
this time something of an air of mys-
terry surrounded his movements despite
all he could do to make them appear
as of ordinary routine imposed on him
by his railroad interests To Helen's
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 evasions cal
culated to put her off and kept her in
ignorance of what he really was doing.
What ostensibly was most on his
mind was that Helen should make all
preparations for resuming a social
state of life to which she had been
for some strenuous time a stranger.
He had already restored to her serv-
ice, after diligent inquiry, the faithful
maid with whom Helen had parted
when she left her fathers house.
On the morning that Helen walked
with her maid out of the hotel and
stepped into Rhinelander's car, the sun
was shining in clear sky. Helen was
driven from the city rapidly north
along the Santa Barbara boulevard
until the party entered the country
familiar to her for many years-the

"Why, Uncle Amos" she said sud

piled quietly.

Signal?" demanded Helen.
eve a number of things to DO
there" returned Rhinelander upper
turbed. "But can't do them until we
get there, so why worry about 1t?
Rhinelander only looked straight
ahead and preserved an unruftied 81
lence: a silence that Helen, herself
was not unwilling to break as the car
sped on toward the iron gates that
guarded the entrance to her fathers
former estate. Would it turn in there,
she asked herself, or continue on UP
the bay road?
The great gates were wide open and

but you'd only be going to your death,

tried to open the car door to get out.

both that though they had long antici-
pated the moment, they could not have
anticipated the happiness now upon
them. He drew her, unresisting, into
his arms and placed upon her finger
his engagement ring. This isn't the
conventional way of doing it, Helen,
but this ring has been waiting for two
long weeks for it's place on your fin
ger"
They wandered some distance from
the house. But unfortunately for their
tete-a-tete the guests were arriving.
Rhinelander, meeting these as well as
he could, was compelled to dispatch
Spike on a 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 disguised expression he de-
1ivered his imperative message. And,
conscience-stricken at having neglect
ed her duties as hostess, Helen hurried
away.
Storm, in an exuberance of happi-
ness, watched her go. But another
than Spike had seen the happy pair
from distance and watched with en-
vious eyes some of their exchanges or
affection-this was Seagrue.
Smoking a cigarette, he walked de-
liberately to where Storm stood gazing
after his departing fiancee. The young
railroad man, aware of the sheer on
Seagrues face, the moment the lat
ter greeted him: "You appear to be
becoming very friendly with Miss
Holiness" he remarked with touch of
insolence.
Storm fired instantly "Why shouldn't
II" he demanded with equal assurance.
Rather ambitious" sneered Sea-
grue, ''for discharged locomotive en-
gineer.'
"Seagrue," exclaimed Storm, his
neck swelling in anger, IF you knew
what I thought of you, you'd be glad
to be discharged locomotive engi-
neer. So you're jealous, are you?
Well, Helen Holmes is going to be my
wife, and if you say another word
about her or about me- averred Storm,
without casting about for fine words,
''I'll knock your Internal block off"
Seagrue strobe toward him in fury.
"You impudent rascal! What do you
mean by threatening me? Get back
to your cab and keep your imperti
hence to yourself"
Storms arm shot out. The next mo-
ment the two men were engaged in
pitched battle. Spike, at a distance,
saw the mix-up, ran to Helen to warn
her of the disturbance and fastened
away to separate the pair.
Helen, in her excitement, started af-
ter Spike. Rhinelander and others fol-
lowed. Storm and Seagrue were at
it hammer and tongs.- The men tore
them apart. Storm, furious at his en-

dispatch to Spike and asked him to
meet Storm at the station.
When Spike had gone, Rhine1ander,
VINO had been telling Helen of his
plans for the future, resumed his sub
Ject. And Helen he said, at length,
I'm going to make request of you
now that may seem very peculiar. You
know, as well as do, how my nephew,
Earl Seagrue, has treated both you
and me. He has been about as mean
as man could be, in spite of our eff
forts to treat him fair. But the fight is
over and we have won He is my only
sisters child. She died when he was
mere boy and asked me, on her
death bed, to look after Earl and be to

she lived. You know whether I've tried
to carry out her Injunction; you know
what 1t has cost me in more ways
tnan one; you know as well as anyone
that l have been patient with him."
Helen regarded her friend intently.
Seagrue is going to pieces" Rhine
lander went on. 81 cannot tell you
all know; but know enough to dis
tress me very much I want to help
him for my sisters sake, to make a
man of himself again, if he will be

days that his own relatives are not 60
ing to turn him down. want you,
when your friends whom I have in
vlted are here today, to invite him to
come, also.''
He saw the grave look on Helen's
face. Il know that you don't like to do
it. It's almost an impossibility to ask
you to do it; but for my sake, Helen,
wish you would" He said no more,
but left her alone. 1t certainly was
rather 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 OBJ
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.
He upbraided both the men roundly
and dismissed Ward with abuse. Hard
ly moment afterward, a man ap-
peared at the apartment door with a
note. Seagrue opened it impatiently:
My dear Mr.. Seagrue:
shall be at home today to
my friends. There will be ten
mis- and tea.
HELEN HOLMES.
He studied the note in some sur
prise. 1t certainly was not overcordial,
yet, it might mean an opening in a d.
rection in which he would be glad to

gain advantage and he decided at once
that he would accept. He gave or
ders for the trip to Signal, resolving
to drive out, and told Adams he was
to accompany him. They left the room
together little later and getting into
a new roadster, started for Signal.
Spike, in the meantime, had gone to
the station and was talking to the
agent when the local passenger pulled
in and Storm got off, saw Spike and
the two left for the house.
It was a delightful moment when
Storm greeted Helen and Rhinelander
under the old oaks. The young rail-
road man seemed bubbling over with
happiness and Rhinelander, perce1v-
ing his great anxiety to segregate
Helen for little talk, summoned Spike
and left the couple to themselves,
D Storm led Helen to the shade OF one

if I had not got your note. You know

envy but held back by Spike and Rhine
lander, launched a terrific abuse at
Seagrue and did not choose nice words
in denouncing him and his conduct.
Indeed, his anger was so uncOntrOl-
liable, and to Helen's mind his lack of
restraint before her guests so mex
cusable, that she upbraided Storm Sc
verely for his Incorporate language.
Seagrue, busting his hands with his
handkerchief, already had himself I'M
der better control. 1t was his oppor-
tunity to take advantage of Storm
natural but extreme indignation, and
he made the most of the moment by
protesting to Helen to excuse Storms
fury, but blaming his bad temper for
the disturbance. Storm, himself,
cooled down by Spike, now tried to
make his apologies to Helen.
But it was too late. Helen would
not listen to him, and, turning away
with her guests, left Storm with no.
body to sympathize with him but
Spike.
Reaching the tennis courts, some of
the guests took up the play, while
others, looking back toward the scene
of excitement, saw Helen coming over
with Seagrue and Rhinelander. Reach
ing the courts, Helen, instead of STOP
ping, passed on with Seagrue. Two
men watched them walk away with
particular interest. Spike, who seemed
deeply concerned with the awkward
situation, and George Storm, who now
began to feel the full force of Helen's
disapprobation.
For an hour she moved among her
guests, accompanied good part of the
time by Seagrue. To tell the truth,
it was not wholly by her own desire
AS her indignation cooled she began
to consider that her lover had some
grounds for his ungovernable outbreak
and the exploits in which Seagrue had
figured in the endeavor to do her and
her friends all manner of harm r >
