Lillian Receives Letter From Guy,
Who Seeks Lost Children At
Police Headquarters.

oisengaged herself from his en-
brace. I'VE have so many things
to think of. You have your hands
fuI, Guy, and 1 will trust myself
to you. 1 shall be so happy IL
You can send me news of the chill
dren, poor little mites. / cannot
bear to think of their being lost
1t isn't as II they were my own
she sighed, for in secret she had
always regretted that she had been
childless-"butI do feel myself re-
sponsible for them-responsible to
poor. dead Izrale and to the mother
from whom I stole them. You'll do
your best, Guy?"
He took her hand in his. now in
his usual frank and cordial man.
ner, and with no return of senti-
ment.
'If you don't hear from me to-
night you'll hear from me tomor-
row., he said, "and 1 hope shall
be able to bring Swan"
And so he left her.
Later in the evening Lillian re-
eeived a letter from Guy. He had
been to headquarters, so he said.
and 1t was very certain that it was
not Mrs. Meyer or any OF her reIa-
uves that had carried off the child
rem. They must fall back on the
other alternatives. Either the little
girl had been lost, wandering away
OF their own accord, in which case
they would quickly be found. or
they had been stolen, perhaps, just
Tor their clothes, or, as Lillian her
self had suggested, by the gypsies.
If, indeed, they had been stolen,
everything would be done to recover
them that lay in the power of the
police. Guy had also seen Edgar
Swan. and had arranged to bring
him to Lilian's house early the next
day.
Lillian had just finished reading
her letter When DR.. Brooks arrived
to pay his promised visit to his pa
tent Lillian accompanied him to
Esther's room. The girl was awake
and half-conscious. Her eyes were
wild, and she was in a state of fever.
Nevertheless, after a short examina-
tion, the physician withdrew from
the bedside with a look OF satisfac-
ton.
'-She will do WE'LL" he said there
=, Is no real cause for alarm. She
wants natural sleep, that is all. 1
must procure her sleep of a kind
tonight and perhaps tomorrow her
brain will be more at rest"
He gave his instructions to the
nurse, and then withdrew with
Lillian into the adjoining room.
Mrs. Willoughby," he said, 81
must again apologize to you for my
suspicious OF this morning. Believe
me, had no idea of-of Mr.. Bor-
radale's condition. Even now it is
mystery to me for I do not know
what drug-or combinations OF
drugs-he may have been taking to
bring him to such a state. 1t is
quite evident to me, too, that Mrs.
Borradale is now suffering for want
of the drug to which she has uncon-
sciously become accustomed. How
ever, she will sleep tonight, and to-
morrow 1 have no doubt that she
will be better. After that, Mrs.
Willoughby, it will be necessary to
guard her from the use of the pol
son in the future. II you will trust
me with your confidence. perhaps 1

Shall She Accept Him?

Dear Miss Fairfax: am
deeply in love with a young man
four years my senior who is soon
to sail for France. Do you think
it prudent for a girl to engage
herself to a man who might come
home a cripple and be a burden?
/ shall always care for him
deeply, whether he is crippled or
not. FL
I don't think, in spite of what
you believe, that you would always
care deeply for your soldier boy
even If he came back a cripple.
There are Indications in your letter
that you would find II considerable
of a handicap to have this kind of
a husband. Unless you are so profi-
cient in your own particular line
of work that you make enough to
help maintain the family, or un-
less you have some money, the risk
appears to be too great
There are cases in which girls
love their soldier sweethearts, so
deeply, that one feels they will
manage, somehow, even IL their
earning capacity is not great
enough to put them in the finan-
cially independent class. But these
girls are not considering in ad-
vance IL II would be prudent to run
the risk OF having such a burden
as a crippled man on their hands.
They care enough to assume that
risk

Thank you" replied Lillian. II
shil not forget what you have
said, DR.. Brooks. There may be q
day when We may need your help.
Mrs. Borradale may not be out OF
danger-even when she RECEIVERS
her health"
The doctor took his departure
and that night Lillian obtained a
much-needed rest. She slept heav-
lily, and the morning was far ad-
vanced before she allowed herself
to be disturbed. 1t was not, in fact.
till Clementine came to inform her
that Mr.. Hooking and another gen.
tleman were waiting to see her in
the morning room that she hastened
oyer her half-finished toilette. She
had already been informed that
Esther had passed a quiet night.
Guy came to meet her eagerly as
she entered the room.
81 have brought Mr.. Swan. you
see, Lillian" he said. 1--WE had a
long talk last night and he has
been at work since. I think he has
news for you about the children.

He bowed and nodded to Puss
and nointed to the road which
opened behind him down through
the depths of the water until lost
in the distance.
Little Puss Junior could not take
his eyes from him, and, forgetting
all about the old fisherman and the
boat, he bent over more and more.
so as to look closer at the funny
little old man, until-splash! down
he went into the water.
Then came a tremendous ringing
in his ears and he felt his breath
go, and he knew nothing more until
he found himself standing with the
strange little fish-man by the side
Of a splendid carriage made of a
scallop shell. FURNISHED until II
shone with pearl and silver, and
drawn by two beautiful goldfish
and two silverfish harnessed with
the silken threads of the finest sea

man that loked like a mackerel.
We are the seahorses OF the deep,
And we race through the waters
blue,
Faster than wind and swifter than

We gallop the ocean through.
Jump in!' said the little old fish
man. and Puss stepped into the car
riage and sat down on the beau
tiful pea-green cushions. Then the
little man got in. the mackerel-
faced coachman cracked his whip,
the gold and silver fishes darted
ahead, and away they wenti Great
trees waved their long branches as
the carriage swept past. and odd
looking shapes came out from be-

Huge mouths opened and shut,

sides and stopped the carriage, and

CHAPTER CXXVII.

You have traced the children?
Is it possible?" Lillian could hardly
give expression to her pleasure.
'Oh, tell me, please tell me, Mr..
Swan, what you have found out
about them?"
The detective smiled rather depre-
catingly.
"I am afraid Hooking is OF q
very sanguine disposition" he said,
land is rather apt to let the desire
be father TO the thought. / cannot
say that / have traced the missing
children yet, Mrs. Willoughbv, and
IL my surmise is true there will be
some difficulty ia find;ns Them.
But / am very ready to do all in
my power for you"
81 am sure OF that" said Lillian,
"but, oh! am bitterly disappointed.
You raised my hopes, Guy"-she
turned to Guy, who looked a little
nonplussed-"and it is hard to let
them be shattered Immediately"
"Its just like me-" said Guy,
abashed. I'm always putting my
foot into ii somehow. Mr.. Swan
certainly has news, and knows how
to get on the tracks of the run
aways. l thought that was good
enough to raise anyone's hopes"
They sat down, Lillian offering
chairs before the fire. 81 hoped
that there would be two others pres
ent at our meeting" she sighed,
'and I had no idea that we would
have this complication of the loss
Of the chidren-another affair alto
gether, and nothing to do with the

matters are very closely allied"
