Valerie Cosby glided noiselessly
down tho corridor and stopped at
last at a door which she opened si-
lently. Then she turned with her
finger on her lips.

pered. II came up to rest-1 was
feeling-a little done up. I thought
I'd get breath of air, so stepped
out on this balcony. Come with

me out after her. And I found
that it wasn't a mere balcony from
my window. but a long gallery that
runs around the house."
With her hand on my wrist, Val
pulled me down the gallery after
her. At the end there was a sum-
mer house of two decks, built right
into the gallery, with stairs lead
ing down from the upper to the
lower floor.
"Hush" whispered Val. "I
brought you here to see the tricks
that little Mason is playing with
your young brother. 1 thought you
ought to know" she added, virtu-
ously, but in the moonlight could
see her eyes flash as they had when
she turned from Mrs. Stoughton to
Envy an hour before.
My brother?" questioned
vaguely. why, I thought he's
gone"
Then I stopped. There was no
earthly reason why Val should know
of Meals packed suitcase nor yet
of my hope that he had gone back
to Phoebe.
He was hurrying down the path
when l came out. l saw Envy Ma

cony here and drag him into the

half-hour, adjoining buildings were
threatened. An investigation is be-

Gus Manellas, one of the. proprie-

capped the flames. Peter Pappas, the

wide-eyed simplicity at Val. Packed
| and ready to go. 1 saw him tip
toe into my room with a note and
then climb down here to get out the
side entrance. And / followed him.
| You know it was my fault the ca
noe upset to-day, but he risked his
life to save me. Then, like the
modest dear he is he didn't want me
to think l owed it to him to marry
him after he'd saved me. I'm Older
than Neal-and richer-in expert
ence and-having this place; but no
one-NO ONE-can ever call Neal
fortune hunter, because I'm the
lucky one. He was running away
| and / made him stay"
For a moment l was so astounded
l couldn't breathe to speak.
You're very wonderful" COM
mented Val dryly. 81 congratulate
you both. And I'm sure, Miss Ma
son. that no one will ever dream of
calling Mr.. Hyland fortune
hunter"
AS she spoke a look flashed be-
tween them. 1 knew Envy wasn't
done with Val.
Thank you for explaining to us,
Envy" / said, pulling myself to-
gether. Your defense of Neal Is
kind. But you won't have to make
it again. Every one knows he'd
only marry for the noblest motive.
l love Neal very dearly, Envy, and
want him and the girl he is going
to marry to be happy-wonderfully
happy"
Then I kissed her on the lips she
turned up to me, and I caught Neal
in my arms, murmuring over him
with lips that longed to protest.
I'm going in to tell them all
now" cried Envy after a moment or
two. II want them all to know
how happy we are. We are happy,
aren't we, dearest?"
Neal stopped and drew Envy to-
ward him. Then he looked almost
defiantly at Val and me.
Very happy" he said.
And to think l had to stop my
proud darling almost by force from
running away from me-" laughed
Envy huskily.
Meals eyes caught mine and held
them for a second. He was giving
me a commanded that I felt sure.
But for the first time in my life
I didn't understand Neal. 1 couldn't
get the message he was trying to
send me.
