Meanwhile Jean Grayson had fol-
lowed her busting conductor into the
| sleeper with a sense OF deep relief.
She had been frankly frightened since
the rough old tramp looking creature
across the aisle had landed a worn
looking wallet surreptitiously In her
lap and asked IL he hadn't heard her
say she was going to Mr.. Harrington
at Hawk Valley, and would she be
so good as to give that case OF I'M
portant papers to him and not let
anyone else know she had 1t?
She had accepted the trust because
she did not know what else to do;
and, after all, 1t seemed a simple
enough request The man had ex-
planned that he had to go off In an
other direction at the next stop and
could not deliver the goods himself,
and It was most important that 1t get

not seem to be any good reason why
she should refuse, and yet 1t had
frightened her, and she wished with
all her heart that she had gone with
the conductor to see about the sleeper
and not stayed here to have, this dirty
old leather case put into her keeping
by that dirty old man She did not
know what to do with It. She hated
to put it In her dear little new hand
bag, and she restrained her well cut
nose from a shrinking sniff as she
hastily put it out Of sight. ~

darkened window with her heart In

known as Moresnet belonged to the de-

swore by one article: the Netherlands
founded It's title upon another. In mid

occupying some $50 acres. The fortunes
OF this strip depended upon which Of this
two articles prevailed. The congress had
larger questions and regions to dispose

puts him back into the obscurity from
which he emerged shortly after tho out
break OF the war. for until then the world

have suffered during that four-year in

genius now than he did when he was
winning one victory after another against

what gives the landlord the power to de-

Holt had OF It, looked like his owl

standing and still apparently looking
through the car door, though not Q

To his amusement he suddenly saw

picked 1t up. Holt saunteredl leisurely
back to his seat and found Scathling
fumbling with his shoe lace. He
studied him narrowly and fancied that
he detected a look of cunning satisfac-
ton. o the, stubbly old facee yet was
puzzled to know what caused 1t. Had
the scoundrel' dared to give those pa

II he had, Hollis hands were pretty
we'll tied and he had two to watch In

OF shadowing this beautiful young
woman.
Just then the conductor returned
and spoke to the girl.
"well, your berth's reserved for you
all right, but It was in the name of
Harrington. It's Section z, in the next
car. This your baggage? Come this
and I'll show YOU"
The girl followed the Conductor,
with q half hesitating glance toward

shoe. Holt noticed she held her hand
bag clasped tightly, as IL she were
afraid t. might be taken from her.
When she was gone the night settled
down unpleasantly about them and
Scathlin, apparently worn out, snored
as he had not dared to do; for a week.
But Holt sat up and studied his prob
lem. He could not afford 20 take any
chances on sleep that night; more
over his heart was in a tumult. This
girl was coming to Hawk Valley to
visit the Harringtons. She was a
sister. of Mrs. Harrington, the hand
