You don't mind my calling you
down, Harry; It is so long since we
had even a few minutes alone to-
gether." he pleaded.

asked
only TO see you, dear-Harry." He
took her hand again she resisted and
withdrew It, Il can't do any more

aY0u?"
"Yes; Father didn't want you both
cred by that work just now. Didn't he
tell you?"
II told me that, of course. Harry,
and that he had asked you to relieve
me as much as you could; he didn't say
he had told you to take charge of the
papers. Did he do that?"
Il thought that was implied. If you
need them. I'll get them for you. Don.
Do you want themT
She got up and went toward the safe
where she had put them; suddenly she
stopped. What 1t was that she had
felt under his tone and manner, she
could not tell; It was probably only
irritation at having important work
taken out Of his hands. But whatever
1t was, he was not openly expressing
it-he was even being careful that IL
should o be expressed. And now
suddenly, as he followed and am
close behind her and her mind went
swiftly to her father lying helpless up
stairs, and her fathers trust In her,
she halted.
1--WE must ask Father" she said.
ASK him he calculated. "WhyY~
she faced him uncertainty. not an
swering.
That's rather ridiculous. Harry, es-
peclally as II is too late TO ask him
tonight" His voice was suddenly
rough In his irritation. 81 have had
charge of those very things for years:
they concern the matters In which your
father particularly confides In me. 1t
is impossible that he meant you to take
them out of my hands like this. He
must have meant only that you were
to give me what help you could with
theml Harry, don't you see that you
are putting me In a false position
wronging me7 You are acting as
though you did not trust mel"
II do trust you. Don at least have
no reason TO dIstrust you. / only say
we must ask Father"
They're In your little safer"
She nodded. Yes
"And you'll not give them to meY'
no"
He stared angrily then he shrugged
and laughed and went back to his desk
and began gathering up his scattered
papers. She stood indecislvely watch
ing him. Suddenly he looked up, and
she saw that he had quite conquered
his irritation, or at least had concealed
Il his concern now seemed to be only
over his relations with herself.
We've not quarreled, Harry7" he
asked.
"Quarreled7 Not at all, Don," she
replied.
She moved toward the door; he fol-
lowed and let her out. and she went
back to her own rooms.

Eaton was distinctly frightened by
the revelation he just had had of San

garding him for non Of the blind
mans deductions about him had
been wrong-all had been the exact,
though incomplete truth. II was
clear to him that Santoine vas close
much closer even than Santolne
himself yet appreciated-to knowing
Eaton's identity; 1t was even prob
able that one single additional fact
the discovery, for instance, that Miss
Davis was the source of the second
telegram received by Eaton IN the
train-would reveal everything TO
Santolne. And Eaton was not certain
that Santoine, even without any new
Information, would not reach the
truth unaided at any moment. SO
Eaton knew that he himself must act
before this happened. But so long as
the safe In Santoine's study was kept
locked or was left open only while
someone was 10 the o with II, be
could not act until no had received
help from outside; and he had not
yet received that help; he could MT

likely TO come.
AS his mind reviewed, almost In
simultaneously, these considerations.
he glanced again at Harriet; ber

the outer doors behind him then he

For several minutes after Eaton
had left the room. Santolne thought
In silence.

asked at last.
She knew IL was not necessary to
answer him, but merely to move so
that he could tell her position; she
moved slightly, and his sightess eyes
shifted at once to whore she stood.
How did he actf" Santoine asked.
She reviewed swiftly the conversa-
tion. experimenting his blind apper-
ceptions Of Eaton's ann with what

tiers and statements represented She
looked carefully through all the con-
tents OF the envelopes, but she could
not find anything which helped her..
She pushed the letters away, then,
and sat thinking. MFR. Warden. who
appeared to have known more about
Eaton than anyone else, had taken Ea-
toms side: 1t was because he had been
going to help Eaton that Mr.. Warden
had been killed. Would not her father
be ready to help Eaton. then, If he
knew as much about him as MF. War
den had knownf But Mr.. Warden,
apparently, had kept what he knew
even from his own wife; and Eaton
was now keeping II from everyone
her father included. She felt that her
father had understood and appreci-
ated all this long before herself-that
IL was the reason for his attitude
toward Eaton on the train and, In part,
the cause of his considerable treatment
of him all through.
SO, instead of being estranged by
Eaton's manner to her father, she felt
an impulse of feeling toward him
flooding her, a feeling which she tried
to explain to herself as sympathy. But
II was not Just sympathy she would
not say ever to herself what 1t was.
She got up suddenly and went to
the door and looked into the hall a

She went back, and %bundling the
correspondence together as IT had been
before. she removed the books from a
shelf TO the left of the door, slid back
another panel and revealed a second
wall-safe corresponding to the one 10
the right of the door from which she
had taken the papers. The combina-
ton Of this second safe was known
only TO her father and herself. She
nut the envelopes into II, closed 1t,
and replaced the books. Then she
went TO her fathers desk, took from
a drawer a long typewriter report of
which he had asked her to prepare a
digest, and read II through conscious
ly concentrating. she began her work.
At three she heard Avery's motor, and
went TO the study door and looked out
as he entered the hail.

the clouds. that permitted him to
get in, sight of the earth again.
