The Second Wayfarer is Transformed.
ODowd returned late In the after
noon. He was In a hurry TO get back
to Green Fancy; there was no mis-

He could not help feeling. however,
that somehow the little agent would
suddenly pop out of the chimney in

fears.
Shortly before the noon hour, Peter
Ames halted the old automobile from
Green Fancy In front OF the Tavern
and out stepped O'Dowd. followed by
no less parsonage than the pseudo
Mr.. Loeb. There were number of
travelling bags in the tonueau OF the
~ar.
Catching sight of Barnes, the Irish
man shouted a genial greeting.
"The top Of the morning to ye. You
remember Mr.. Loeb, don't you? Mr..
Curtis secretary. Mr.. Loeb is leaving
US for few days on business. Good
morning. Mr.. Boneface." he called out
to Putnam Jones who approached at
that juncture. 1--WE are sadly In want

Barnes caught the look that the
Lrighman shot at him out of the cor
ker of his eye.

young aristocrats who by virtue Of
their own designations had come to

vaults. Almost under the noses of the
foreign guards he succeeded In OBJ
tanning the Jewels. No doubt he could
have made or with them at that time
but he shrewdly preferred To have
them brought to America by some one
else. 1t would have been impossible
for him to dispose Of them In Europe
You see how cunning he is?
"He was no doubt thwarted in his
design to waylay me on the road from

in this tavern. He was attacked IN his
room here. overpOwered. bound and

as merclless as himself They too
how these men learned of my inten-
ton to come TO Green Fancy"
"They came to the Tavern four or
five days before your arrival at
Green Fancy" Barnes interrupted.
"Sprouse told me that they were Sc
cret service men from abroad and that
he was working with them. My theory
is this, and / think 1t is justified by
events: The men were really secret
agents, sent here to watch the move
ments of the gang up there They
came upon Sprouse and recognized
him. On the day mentioned they over
powered him and forced him TO reveal
certain facts connected with affairs at
Green Fancy. Possibly he led them to
believe that you were one of the con-
rival and then risked the hazardous
trip TO Green Fancy. They were dis
covered and shot"
"I believe you are right" she cried.

She was opposed to this plan. While
there was still a chance that Sprouse
might be apprehended in the neighbor-
hood, or the possibility of his being
caught by the relentless pursuers, she
declined to leave.
'Then. l shall also stay" said he
promptly, and was repaid by the
tremulous smile she gave him. He was
helplessly in love with this beautiful
cousin OF kings and queens. And
when he thought of kings and queens
he realized that beyond all question
his love was hopeless.

Barnes was abroad early. He was
at breakfast when Peter Ames called
up. An inspiration seized him when
the chauffeur mentioned the wholesale
exodus; he hired Peter forthwith and
ordered him to report Immediately
with the car. He was going up to
Green Fancy for Miss Cameron's
wardrobe.
Two minutes after Peter drove up
to the Tavern he was on the way back
to Green Fancy again. and seated be
side him was Thomas Klngsburs
Barnes, his new master.
There was not a sign Of human life

They found two small leather
