stubbornly protested. ''He did not
even call the vision he encountered
woman. It. was a wrath, you re-
member, a dream-n1aiden, creature
of his own imagination, born of some
tragedy he had read"
"Beaton is a gentleman" was
Sinclair's reply. "He did not wish to
injure, but to warn the woman for
whose benefit he told the tale"
"Warn?"
"He doubtless reasoned in this
way. If he could make this young and
prbably sensitive girl realize that
she had been seen; and her intentions
recognized she would beware of such
attempts in the future"

This room was not frequented by
the young people at night. Sinclair
wished to show me the cabinet
where the box had been.
There, was a fire in the CRATE.
When the door had closed behind US
we Ncund that this same fire made
all the light there was in the room.
Sinclair drew deep breath. "Mr.
Armstrong must have gone else
where to read the evening papers, y
he remarked.
Sinclair drew me toward a tall
cabinet and, pointing to a shelf far
above our h:ads, cried:
"No woman could reach that un-
aided. Gilbertine is tall, but not tall
enough for that. I purposely put it
high"
I looked about for a stool. There
was one just behind Sinclair. l drew
his attention to it.
He flushed and gave it kick then
shivered slightly and sat down in a
nearby chair. I knew what he was
thinking. Gilbertine was taller than
Dorothy. This stool might have
served Gilbertine if not Dorothy.

After all, his case was more serl-

But before We proceed to such

that there is no shorter road TO the

which of our two girls went back
to the library after we all came out

Mrs. Armstrong, our hostess, was

I slipped toward the drawing

"A rush of young people greeted
me as I showed myself. But I was
able to elude them and catch the
one full glimpse I wanted of the
room beyond. On a divan near the
center was lady conversing with
two gentlemen. Her back was turned
toward me but I had no difficulty
in recognizing Miss Murray. Some
distance from her, but with her face
also turned away stood Dorothy. She
appeared quite at ease and more
than usually cheerful.

Sinclair seized me by the arm.
"Was that Beaton?", he asked
"Certainly, didn't you recognize

CHAPTER II

Dorothy, unlike GiIbertine Muir
ray, was not to be read at a glance,
and her trouble-for she certainly
had trouble-was not the one she
chose to share with any one, even
mel could not but ask if the vary
ing moods by which I had found my
self secretly narrowed had not
sprung from cause for which my
persistent love was more to blame
than the temper of her relative. The
aversion she had once shown to my
attentions had yielded long ago in
that soft pressure of my hand which
had awakened my hopes and made
me forget all the doubts and capric-
es of a disturbing courtship.
But, had I interpreted that strong
nervous pressure Alright? Had it
necessarily meant love? Might it
not have sprung from a sudden des-
perate resolution to accept devo-
tion which offered her a way
out of difficulties especially CALLING
to one of Fer gentle but lofty spirit?
Her expression when she caught my
look of joy had little of the demure
tenderness of a maiden blushing at
her first involuntary avowal. There
was shrinking in it, but it was the
shrinking of a frightened woman,
not of an abashed girl. Had mis-
taken my darling's feelings? Or had
she secretly yielded to another what
she had so long denied me and
"Ah" said Sinclair at this juno
ture, 81 see that l have aroused you
at last"
"You begin to see that a question
of the most serious import is before
US, and this question must be an
swered before we separate for the
night"
II do" said l.
"Then so much is gained. The
next point is, how are to settle our
doubts? We cannot approach either
of the ladies with questions. A girl
wrethched enough to contemplate su-
icide would be especially careful to
conceal both her misery and its
cause. Neither can we order
search made for an object so small
that it can be concealed about the
person. Yet this jewel must be re-
covered. Listen Sinclair. l will have

ON MUSCLE SHOALS

night in some congressional quarters.
Chairman Kahn of the House mill

position of Alabama properties, took
sharp issue with the proposal of
Chairman Norris of the Senate agri-
culture committee, which is study
ing the Muscle Shoals question for the
Senate, for creation of a Government
owned and controlled corporation to
take over the projects
Il for one" Mr.. Kahn said. "am
strongly against government opera

private enterprise. If the Norris
certainly oppose it,"
The military committee, Mr.. Kahn
said, would call Secretary Mellon and
Attorney General Daueherty to test-
fy next week. The testimony of the
cabinet officers. he explained, would
be important in that it would give
the committee first hand information
the Muscle Shoals question which
would be helpful in determining what
action it could take with respect to
clearing the way for final decision by
the House.
