THIS A THE STORY.

A weekend house party is be-
ing held at the home of RATHER
inc and Bingham Harvard
Among the guests are Clancy,
Archer, Demming, Sears, and n
Conrad Belknap. Katherine dis
covers Belknap cheating at a
game of cards. She demands
that he leave her house immed-
ately. He scornfully refuses to
do so. Katherine is about to tell
her husband of the occurrence,
but hesitates owing to a peculiar
influence which Belknap seems to
exert over her. Convinced Of his
deception, however, and suspl-
coius of his actions, she is all the
more determined to ferret out
his real identity. Katherine has
formerly had an experience as
a police headquarters detective
under the name of Lady Kate OF
the Police. She intercepts a tel
ephons~sall of Belknap's and dis
covers the name and address OF a
woman confederate whom he
calls Berta. She learns that
Belknap has set afoot some
scheme. Realizing that he is sus-
pected by Katherine. Belknap
threatens to expose the fact that
Katherine's brother, Roderlck
Maxwilton, who is believed by
his parents to be dead, faces a
term in prison. Bingham Har-
ward, who once bore the alias
1.-THE Night Wind" becomes
suspicious of Belknap and Kath-
crimes attitude toward him..
K~atherine's parents arrive at her
home. Senorita Cervantez, a
pianist, also arrives. She appar-
emily is unable to speak. A flash
of recognition seems to pass be-
tween her and Belknap.

Lady Kate Gets Wise.

Betty. having Tom on the tele-
phone, announced the arrival OF the
perforce, also have knowledge OF
Katherine's secret, and who had come
there to act as an accomplice and as
sistant to Belknap in the threat to
divulge it, unless-unless what? That
was the puzzle. What-what could it
be that Belknap and this beautiful
woman were after at inquest?
And in her was no mean adversary.
In her was a foeman worthy OF all
of Katherine's skill; as subtle, as re-
sourceful, as ready of wit, and as
courageous as Katherine herself.
Like the war horse that scents the
distant battle, like the cavalry steed
that hears the bugle's peal to boots
and saddles" Katherine lifted her
head, and with partly distended nos
trils, started to her feet beneath the
rose-bower, with the light Of battle
shining in her yes, with defiance IN
her heart and brain. and with the
glory of successful conquest for her
accepted goal.

Usher mockingly, and ran away,
laughing.
Without in the least realizing 1t,
she left the man writhing.
Betty had done nothing more h
banter him, without forethought or
obiective: but in both her words and
her manner he read-it was pure fan
CIV of course-a threat. She had con-
veyed the idea, with out intention TO
do so, that she had seen, or heard,
or known Senorita Cervantez before
that day, and that for some undis-
closed reason she preferred to keep
others in ignorance of that fact.
If Betty had sought with studied
de~liberation to stick a poisoned pin
into the only vulnerable part of Bel
knap's anatomy. she could not have
ACCOMPLISHED it so well as by those
c~arelessly and mischievously chosen
words.

AMI HERE 1T CONTINUES.

To Betty, by whose side he seated
himself, he appeared strangely pre-
occupied; so much so, indeed, that she
spoke about it. :,
Il was thinking" he explained
rsmilingly, what a pity it is that one
so exquisitely lovely as that piano
player should be speechless. By every
rule of fair play. you know, she
ought to possess a beautiful voice;
one expects it of her. I-er-I ex-
8~perienced something very much like
a shock, Mrs. Clancy, when l was
told that she was dumb"
"YOu met them, and Katherine
presented you? Isn't it too bad?"
TOO bad! Why, if you knew what
a voice she-I am getting twisted. If
one stops to realize what a voice she
ought to have to match such a
face" He stopped again, and a
grimace which might have expressed
regret, disappointment, admiration. or
resentment, and which, in fact sug-
gested all four, found expression IN
his features.
