when she came to herself there
was a rush of cool air in her face
for the window behind the drivers

talking.
Her heavy beaded handbag was
still on her arm and without stop

over the face with it, tore open the
nearest door and jumped, rolling
over and over into ditch. They
cursed and halted but another car
was coming and that gave her an
opportunity to scramble up and over

low shoots growing by a brook.
They gave up hunting for her
and drove off. She stumbled along
in the darkness with sense enough
to keep to the main road. A moving
van came rumbling along and on an
impulse she hailed it; she says the
idea flashed across her mind that if
she could find out the name Of the
nearest village and get word to Mr..
Wells he would keep her confidence
and come to take care of her, at the

were going and they told her Free

This letter doesn't tell me much
except that the young lady is on the
verge of hysteria," he commented.
Miles had unfolded the second
note. 1t was comparatively brief,
and although its fine, cramped,
shaken hand was unlike any that he
had studied before during his in,
vestigation, there was yet something
vaguely familiar about it which ar
rested him.

in the hallway below trying in vain
to catch word of the conversation
between Miss Hawks and her for

All at once the heavy portieres
parted and the visitor reappeared. 1t
was doubtful if she was conscious of
the pseudo houseman' shadowy fig

for the front door, calling back over
her shoulder with a quick, convul-
sive catch of her breath.

1t was not the words nor the tone
in which they were uttered which for
moment held the detective rooted
to the spot, but the dazed look of
half-incredulous wonder upon the
woman's face and the CLINT as of
dawning, fear in her eyes.
Scarcely had the door closed when
there was crash in the drawing
room followed by the hiss of flame
and mans below of profanity
mingled with pain.
A pungent odor of smoldering
cloth assailed his nostrils stiflingly
as Miles dashed the portieres aside
to behold Andrew tearing off his
scorched coat from which a curl of
acrid smoke arose and stamping out
a tiny blush flame that darted
across the rug from beneath the
overturned tea-table.

1t was late that afternoon before
Patricia put in an appearance and
there was new, shy dignity in her
bearing that silenced the reproof
upon her aunt's lips.
Roger had appeared at luncheon
more wan and fragile than ever, but
later Miles had caught glimpse of
him tottering down the drive muf-
fled to the ears in a greatcoat in
spite of the mild spring weather, and
wondered what errand could have
dragged him forth. The return of
Patricia, however, turned his
thoughts to other channels and the
arrival within an hour of an unex-
pected caller banished all idle
speculation for the time being from
ais mind.
The caller was Miss Ora Hawks

had made victorious effort to miti-
