"Just a moment. You expect me to

. II shall have to speak plainly, /
see." He leaned forward, fixing
Barnes with pair of steady, earnest
eyes. "SiX months ago certain royal
house in Europe was despoiled of its
Jewels its privy seal, its most precious
state documents and it's charter. They
have been traced to the United States.
I am here to recover them. That is
the foundation Of my story, Mr..
Barnes.
without divulging the name Of the
house will say that its sympathles
have been from the outset friendly to
the entente allies-especially with
France. There are two branches Of
the ruling family, one in power, the
other practically in exile. The state
is small one, but its integrity is Of
the highest. Its SONS and daughters
have married into the royal families
of nearly all Of the great nations Of
the continent. The presenter. I
should say, the late ruler for he died
on field of battle not many months
ago, had NO direct heir. He was
young and unmarried. I am not per
mitted to state with what army he
was fighting, nor on which front he
exile lent its support to the cause of
Germany, not for moral reasons but
in the hope and with the understand
ing, / am to believe, that the crown
lands would be the reward. The di-
rect heir to the crown is a cousin of
the late prince. He is now prisoner
of war in Austria. Other members of
the family are held by the Bulgarians
as prisoners of war. 1t is not stretch
ing the imagination very far to pic
ture them as already dead and out of
the way. At the close of the war, if
Germany is victorious, the crown will
be placed upon the head of the pre-
tender branch Are you following

his nurse only the other day. He says
it's a hopeless case"
Fortunately his sister can be here

lest as well pleased to 60 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 ne
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.
IT suppose Mrs. Collier has spent
great deal Of time up here with her
brother"
"First 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 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.

Little Mother
BY GENEvIEvE ULMAR


Somewhere Lucia Willard had read
a story where a poor and humble girl
had patiently endured all the suffer
ings and deprivations of poverty, TO
emerge into a higher condition and
finally become the bride of man of
wealth and position who, in reverence
for her gentle ways and pure, inno-
cent mind, adored her through all of
a happy, contented life. 1t was rare
romance of the old school and she had
reveled in its sweet, wholesome de-
velopment.
"Only dream ~ she sighed resign

Not but what Lucia deserved all that

complaining hard work could give an
orphan, her only living relative, her
grandmother. The two of them worked
at the cheapest grade of sewing, gain
ing a mere subsistence. Their living
quarters We're mean and lowly, but
kept exquisitely neat and clean. 1t
was often invaded by those less par
ticular as to rags and dirt, little chill
dren Of the neighborhood. A strong
maternal instinct in Lucia attracted
her towards them, and the only break
in the monotony of her dull existence
was when she gathered in the little
outcasts, washed them clean, combed
out their tangled hair, mended up their
tattered clothing and gave them a lit
tie treat in the way of popcorn or
candy.
IF / only got to what the heroine
in the novel reached" Lucia told her
grandmother, II would just fill my
home with these poor little dear chill
dren."
Grandma often scolded at the i'm
petuous philanthropy of Lucia, yet
secretly her heart was touched at the
kindly motives of her last living reia-
tive. One day, however, she felt that
Lucia had exceeded the limits of toll
erance and charity. She had burst in
upon her bearing in her arms a tat
tered, half-dressed baby girl covered
with mud and CRIME, grooming out pity
and love and tenderness for the tiny
outcast Lucia Rugged it close and the
child nestled In her arms as though
it realized a rare kindness and care.
"Just think of it," scolded Lucia

For Lucia had run to the sink and,

mud-mottled face of the child.
What are you going to do with her,
Lucia?' questioned grandma.
II am going to keep her, / am GO

settled resolution and defiance DO
you know who she is? One of the
half-starved babies that Mrs. Woods
took care Of. Actually when she went
away she left this one on the door

enough to feed her own little ones, and

said she would have to send her to

This year instead of my giving you

hundreds of them somewhere Or, if
