And all clever people were good,

The good are so harsh to the clever.

flushed suddenly ana painfully. stood for
an uncertain moment, then turned on his
heel and hurried out Of the garage.
Marie looked after him. wide eyed and
perplexed. He was q strange man. Then
soberly she began to inspect her domain.
the steam heated and luxurious garage
and her own pleasant and we'll lighted bed
room. but with thoughts only half given
to what she was doing. She was still
warmed BY her good fortune. yet she was
puzzled and troubled.
Most certainly there is a strangeness
about this entire family" she confided to
herself. II do not understand it."
As Breck had predicted. Mrs. Dunbarton-
Kent telephoned to the garage shortly
before o'clock that rhe wanted the
roadster.
Put in a foot warmer and one Of tho fur
robes, Angoulema" she commanded. II
don't propose to freeze myself but I do want
breath Of fresh air."
Marie was having her garage troubles.
Outwardly the place looked well cared for,
but a close inspection Of cupboards. mops,
sponges. and the like had wrought Marie
to pitch Of indignation. The seats Of the
cars covered evidences Of long continued
Ic6lSNt, Dut, WOISI u dAly IuSI6 was q puZ-
zling absence Of necessary tools. Not one
Of Mrs. Dunbarton-Kent's cars was prop.
erly equipped. West Dunbarton-Kents car
was in perfect condition, high powered
roadster, shiningly clean within and with.
out and equipped with every device for long
travel. extra tires, locked contrivance in
the rear which was large enough to carry
a small wardrobe and blankets every imag.
Unable automobile tool, and gasoline tank
and oiler we'll filled-an object lesson to
any chauffeur Of what car should be-
1T is quite certain that tho same abom-
inably neglectful person who has not cared
for the cars Of Mrs. Dunbarton-Kent has
had nothing to do with this car Of Mr.
West's!" Marie commented to herself in.
dignantly.
When Marie brought Mrs. Dunbarton.
Kent's roadster to the portecochere the
glow Of haste and irritation warmed her
cheeks; the roadster had needed all sorts Of
things done to It, regular housecleaning
and Marie had been able to give it only a
hasty brushing UP. Besides, one Of the rear
tires was in a bad condition.
She had kept Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent wait.

manded for 1t. when I say o'clock 1
is one objection have to women-they're
always either fussng around before time
or forgetting that there is such thing as
4 clock. Go down the driveway, then turn
on the road to the left want to go to the
farm first"
Marie's color deepened, but she said in
soft accents: when everything is new to
a person Il 10 . little difficult. shall not
again be late, madame There was much to
be done to this car. I did the best could
in a short time"
But Mrs. Dunbarton- Kent was not ap-
peased. What was the matter with the
car? Glidden was perfect chau1eur-when
he didn't drink"
Marie had not meant to tell at once Of
conditions in tho sarage-to do so gradu.
ally, for Mrs Dunbarton-Kent had impressed
her a. being In . state Of continual Irritation.
Omaha daily bee., 1922-05-07

But Marie possessed lively temper and
she was seething.
He must then have been drunk often,
madame. I think that same chauffeur was

your cars upon the outside, but within they
are abominable. You yourself are now sit

as is disgusting, and which have not had
time to clean. Besides, do not understand
certain things about this garase-nothing Is
there that should be-"
Mrs Dunbarton-Kent flushed crimson;
the young person was asserting herself
early.
Indeed Ny garage doesn't please you.
eh? Well, that's quickly remedied," she re-
turned grimly. There are several trains
into town tomorrow. for as your things have
been sent for you'll be wise to wait till they
come"
The big woman's anger set Marie aflre;
she had done only her duty In telling Of
conditions in the garage. Why should she
be spoken to in this way. as If accused Of
wrongdoing? She turned hot eyes on Mrs.
Dunbarton-Kent
"I think your garage beautiful, madame.

but today she's likely to telephone you that
she wants the roadster-it's better adapted
for conversation" he answered dryly.
Marie felt that this showing her about was
a great nuisance to him. She stole glances
at his profile; hs was handsome but he
looked most stern and unhappy, she thought
Frequently Marie had dksarmed unapproach-
ableness by . genuinely pretty speech and
smile. And she had discovered that the
American man likes to be called Monsieur"
So she said, at Is q most beautiful place,
this Kent house, monsieur. and the garage is
more elegant than are most houses. I shall
take great care with the cars and try to
please your mother"
He was giving her the keys and she was
looking up at him. smiling. but with the
finished air of respect which IL rarely
achieved by an American. But he gave her
no answering smile.
"Mra Dunbarton-Kent Il not my mother"
he said coldly.
The two you saw there In the house
and I are only her step relations, her
nephews and niece. We three are cousins"
He raised his voice slightly. "Mrs. Dun
barton-Kent has q number Of millions left
her by my uncle. West has a good income
which was left him by his father; Be.n II
entirely dependent on Mrs. Dunbarton-
Kent, and have nothing. 20 am earning
my bread by managing the Kent house
farm for the present. The Allen Colfax
whom you chastixed is q distant cousin Of
the Dunbarton-K Kent family, and is a much
disliked neighbor. His place is called Col.
fax hail." He studied her face in his shad-
owed way. but perhaps I'm telling you
things you already know7"
Maries soft. wide eyes had assimilated
his information. mo. monsieur, do not
know. Thank you that you tell met Is
kind"
Then Breck went to one Of the cars and
stood close beside it. This car Is new
it's been used only once or twice. he said
but when Marie followed him, expecting
further instruction. he came close to her
and asked very low and swiftly, why did
you look at me AZ you did when you came
into tho library7" His black brows had
lowered suddenly into a straight limo and
beneath it his eyes were cuttingly keen.
Marie caught her breath. Not for any
thing would she have explained why for a
brief moment she had stared at him. 1t was
his eyes that had startled her, they were
such light blue and the lashes black, like
that woman's on the train. It was a mere
resemblance. but anything that reminded
her Of her terrifying experience was suff-
cient to startle her. and for an instant she
had felt a sort Of panic. She flushed warmly
and took refuge in hall truth.
"You-you stood so like soldier, mon
sieur looked. then thought most cer-
tainly you had been in France. Were you
not?"
He scrutinized her intenly. Yes" he
said, finally, 81 but most OF the time in a Ger.
man prison camp" He spoke now without
lowering his voice.
There was something in his manner as
well as his words that touched her; his eyes
were keen yet so somber.
"Ah. monsieur" she exclaimed with gen.
uine profound pity. Now know why
you look so sad" '''r
A curious expression crossed his face: he

In a few days the Lewis Bros. sent
for a detective from St. Paul. He
came OF the sly but the way he was
to make himself known to the Lewises
was by asking for some Brogan shoes.
My father waited on him when he
entered the store and was going to get
the shoes when Rob Lewis said that
he would get them. My father thought
this rather strange and suspected
something. The Lewises told the de-
tective everything they knew. He
mingled with all of the men around
town and gambled, drank and stayed
up nights. At last he found out after
a months work who the men were.
The leader was Armand Broom, the
other two being Long Henry and a
nan by the name of Dawson. All
three of the men were cowboys . Mr..
Lewis swore out a warrant and had
them arrested. Although no convic.
ton was made the three met a violent
death at the hands of other bad men.
