them.
CHAPTER IIT-As the storm grows.
Barnes finds himself worrying over the
safety of the girl, travelling over the
gerOus speed He learns tnat Green
Fancy is something Of house. of mys-

in a manner which arouses Barnes curl
osity.
CHAPTER IV-He meets miss Thack-

rical troupe, who Is acting as chamber
maid That night he Is aroused by the
bringing of dying man to the tavern,
one Of the two who n, had rid % ad away h

been shot.
Vine WOuHucu man, regis
tered at the tavern as Andrew Paul, dies,

Soto, guests at Green Fancy, visit the

the affair.
CHAPTER VI-Barnes advances Rush

brother"
sFirst time she was ever here, SO
far as I know" said Peter, and barnes
promptly took up his weaving once
more.
With one exception, he decided, the
entire company at Green Fancy was
involved in the conspiracy. The ex-
ception was Miss Cameron. It was
quite clear to him that she had been
misled or betrayed into her present
position; that d trap had been set for
her and she had walked into 1t blind
", trustingly. This would seem to es-
tablish, beyond question, that her cap
ture and detention was vital to the in
terests of the plotters; otherwise she
would not have been lured to Green
Fancy under the impression that she
was to find herself among friends and
supporters. Supporters That word
started a new train of thought. He
could hardly wait for the story that
was to fall from her lips.
by the way Peter, it has just &C.

'I'll be much obliged, sir. Course

the tavern if ] get my walkin'- papers

yes Stop in to see me tomorrow If

Barnes said good night to the man
and entered the tavern a few minutes
later Putnam Jones was behind the
desk and facing him was the little
book agent.
"Hello, stranger" greeted the land
lord. "Been sashaying in society, hey?
Meet my friend Mr.. Sprouse, Mr..
Barnes. Sic-em, Sprouse! Give him
the Dickens" Mr. Jones laughed loud
ly at his own jest.
Sprouse shook hands with his vic
tim.
II was just saying to our friend
Jones here, Mr.. Barnes that you look
like more than ordinarily intelligent
Man and that if I had a chance to buzz
with you for quarter of an hour I
could present proposition"
Sorry Mr.. Sprouse, but it is half
past eleven o'clock, and am dog-tired.
You will have to excuse me-"
Tomorrow morning will suit me-"
said Sprouse cheerfully, "if it suits
you."

Peter drove slowly, carefully over
the road down the mountain Respond
ing to sudden impulse, Barnes low
cred one of the side seats in the ton

SLOW long have you been driving
for Mr.. Curtis?"
"Ever since he come up here, more'n
two years ago. Guess I'm going to get

that he's gettin' a new car an wants

"Why don't you see Mr.. Curtis and

"See him?" snorted Peter. might
as well try to see Napoleon Bonyparte.
Didn't you know he was sick man?"
Certainly. But he isn't SO ill that
he can't attend to business, is he?"
"He sure is. Parylised they say"
what has Mr.. Loeb against you, if
I may ask?"
"Well, it's like this. / amt in the
habit o. bein' ordered aroun' as if
was jest nobody at all, so when he
starts in to cuss me about sOmethin'
I'll smash his head If he don't take 1t

be glad to have me. / says I'd like to
have a word with Mr.. Curtis, if she
don't mind an she says Mr.. Curtis
amt able to see no one. So I guess
I'm goin' to be let out"
An idea was taking root in Barnes
brain, but it was too soon to consider
it fixed.
"You say Mr.. Loeb is new at his
job?"
"Well, he's new upahere. Mr.. Cur

81 See Mr.. Loeb came up with him
from New York.
"Kerect. Him and Mr. O'Dowd and
Mr.. De Soto brought him up bout the
last O. March. They was up here Wis
itin' last spring an the fall before. Mr..
Curtis is very fond of both of EN-"
"It seems to me that / have heard
that his son married O'Dowds sister"
That's right. She's wilder now.
Her husband was killed III the war
between Turkey an them other coun-
tries four er five years ago."
Really"

own brother-in-law, y know-was

"Was this son Mr.. Curtis only

"They will probably come into this
property when Mr.. Curtis dies" said

Barnes, keeping the excitement out of
his voice.
"More'n likely"
"Was he very feeble when you saw
him last?"
II amt seen him in more'n six
months. He was failin' then. That's
why he went to the city,"
"Oh, / see. You did not see him
when he arrived the last of March?"
II was visitin' my sister up in Horn

to meet 'em at Spanish Falls but I

durn fool got the address wrong. I

later. wouldn't "a had 1t happen fer

"By gosh, she amt nothin' like
him." confided Peter. "Shes all fuss

as you err me. Nothin' fluffy about him,
/ en- tell ye" He sighed deeply. I'm
jest as well pleased to go as not" he
went on. Mrs. Golfers got lot o
money of her own, an she's got high
falutin' New York ideas that don't
seem to jibe with mine."
Long before they came to the turn
pike, Barnes had reduced his hundred
and one suppositions to the following
concrete conclusion: Green Fancy
was no longer in the hands of its orig
inal owner for the good and sufficient
reason that Mr.. Curtis was dead. The
real master of the house was the man
known as Loeb. Through O'Dowd he
had leased the property from the wild
owed daughter-in-law, and had estab-
lished himself there, surrounded by
trustworthy henchmen, for the purpose
of carrying out some dark and sinister
project.
II suppose Mrs. Collier has spent a
great deal Of time up here with her

Barnes was impressed. perhaps

"Well," began Barnes deliberately,
81 guess you will have to take a
chance with me, Mr. Sprouse, for re-
fuse to commit myself until I know
exactly what you are up to-
"In the first place, Mr.. Barnes said
Sprouse, sailing his eggs, "you have

Isn't that SOP"
IT am answering no questions, Mr..

"You were wrong" said Sprouse as

"By suggestion, Mr.. Barnes. 1t is
