mellow tones. "YOu know, we had

substantial interest before he sold

Il know that; but l think he liked
you rather better for refusing it.
Business with him was merely
means to an end. And 1t was dOubly
sad that he should die just when he
was free to enjoy the beautiful
things he loved"
1t was at the tip of my tongue TO

nothing in her manner invited such a

Terrence Immediately of her arrival.
"YOu will have luncheon with US
or maybe dinner would be better-or
both? shall think you resent my
coming If you don't dine at the house
every day. Mrs. Farnsworth-my
friend and compartments very in
teresting woman. am sure you will
like her."
The information that she was pro-
tected in her youthful widowhood by

CHAPTER lI-continued.

/ This struck me as the pleasantest
thing imaginable, though l was still
dazed and my tongue seemed to have
died in my mouth. This girl, this
wholly charming and delightful
young woman, was the monstrous be
ing l had conjectured as the globe
trotting widow who had kidnapped and
married my uncleI Not only had she
married my uncle Bash and in due
course buried him; she had been a
widow when she married him. The
thing was staggering, bewildering.
She was clearly anxious to be friendly,
but nothing that had thought of
saying to her fitted the situation.
"In the first place." l finally began,
II must apologize most humbly for
the earnest efforts of the servants to
murder you last night. Mr.. Terrence
had promised to let me know when
you would reach here, but he must
have forgotten it. l had mOtOred to
a friends house to dine and didn't get
back until the mischief was done.
I'm very sorry"
''NOt for the world would have

merry laugh. 1T was perfectly
delicious! And it was all my fault.

why those people at the gates were
SO jolly anxious to kill us; but it
doesn't matter; you would spoil the
joke by explaining it,"
However, did my best-lt was a
weak attempt-to explain the nervous
display of violence. Her arrival made
1t likely that we should soon know
more about the parties" whose visits
and inquiries had so alarmed Antoine
and his comrades. told her with
all the humor l could throw into the
recital of the drilling of the bell-hOps

She gazed wistfully seward, and /
saw the CLEAN of tears on her long
lashes. Ny uncle had, then, meant
something to her. No one, in speech
or manner could have suggested the
adventures less; uncle Bash was a
gentleman, a man of esthetic tastes,
and the girl was adorable. More re-
markable things had happened in the
history Of love and marriage than
that two such persons. meeting in a
