CHAPTER XIV.
"What Can lt Meant"

1.-TWO more hours passed before the
lawyers and their client rose
from their seats about the long
table. Even then the consultation was
not at an end. sylvester ana the cap
tain lunched together at the Central
club and sat in the smoking room un-
til after 4, talking earnestly. When
they parted the attorney was grave
and troubled.
"An right, Captain Warren" he said;
"I'n do it. And you may be right. l
certainly hope you are. But / must
confess / don't look forward to my
task with pleasure. think I've got

They shook hands. Captain Elisha
returned to the boarding house, where
he found letter awaiting him. 1t was
from Caroline, telling him Of her en-
gagement to Malcolm Dunn. She wrote
that, while not recognizing his right to
interfere In any way, she felt that per-
haps he should know of her action. He

Graves struck the table with his open

"He doesn't understand at all!" he
exclaimed impatiently. Captain War

He leaned back, grimly satisfied with
the effect of his statement. Captain
Elisha stared straight before him un.
seeingly, the color fading from his
cheeks; then he put both elbows on
the table and covered his face with his
hands.
"You, see, captain" said Sylvester
gently, "how very serious the situation
is. Graves has put it bluntly, but what
he says is literally true. If your broth
er had deliberately planned to hand his
children over to the mercy of that
missing stockholder he couldn't have
done it more completely"
Slowly the captain raised his head.
His expression was a strange one, agi-
tated and shocked, but with curious
look Of relief, almost Of triumph.

The question was blurted out. The

The latter seemed more troubled than
before.
