HE told me that, of course, Harry,

me as much as you could; he didn't say
he had told you to take charge of the
papers. Did he do that?'
II thought that was implied. II you
need them, I'll get them for you, Don.
Do you want them?"
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 it
should not be expressed. And now
suddenly, as he followed and came
close behind her and her mind went
swiftly to her father lying helpless up
stairs, and her fathers trust in her,
she halted.

"Ask him! he calculated, "WhyY
She faced him uncertainty, not an
swering.
"Ihat's rather ridiculous, Harry. es.
pecially as it is too late to ask him
tonight" His voice was suddenly
rough in his irritation. II 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
them! Harry, don't you see that you
are putting me in false position
wronging me? You are acting >as

II do trust you, Don; at least I have

"They're in your little safe?"
She nodded. YES"
"And you'll not give them to me:'

He stared angrily; then he shrugged
and laughed and went back to his desk
and began gathering up his scattered
papers. She stood indecisively watch
ing him. Suddenly he looked up. and
she saw that he had quite conquered
his irritation. or at least had concealed
1t; his concern now seemed to be only
over his relations with herself.
"We've not quarreled. uarry?" he
asked
"Quarreled? 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.

Enthusiastically and clapped her hands
as Avery suddenly raced before them,
caught the ball with swinging, back

toward his opponents goal. Instantly
whirling his mount, Avery raced away
after the ball, and with another clean
stroke scored goal. Everyone about
cried out in appreciation.

They watched the rapid course of
the ball up and down the field, the
scurry and scamper of the ponies

riders were flung. When they arose,
one OF the least experienced boys

She went down at once. AS he came

that what had perpleyed her in his

of that irritation he had showed at
dinner. He took her hand and drew
her into the study.
"You don't mind my calling you

CHAPTER XIV
Santoine's "Eyes" Fail Him.


Eaton, coming down rather late the
next morning, found the breakfast
room empty. He chose his breakfast
from the dishes on the sideboard, and
while the servant set them before him
and waited on him, he inquired after
the members of the household. Miss
Santoine, the servant said, had break
tasted some time before and was now
with her father; Mr.. Avery also had
breakfasted; Mr.. Blatchford was not
yet down. AS Eaton fingered over his
breakfast, Miss Davis passed through
the hall, accompanied by maid. The
maid admitted her into the study and
closed the door; afterward, the maid
remained in the hall busy with some
morning duty, and her presence and
that of the servant in the breakfast
room made it impossible for Eaton to
attempt to go to the study or to risk
speaking to Miss Davis. A few min
utes later, he heard Harriet Santone
descending the stairs; rising. he went
out into the hall to meet her.
81 don't ask you to commit yourself
for longer than today, Miss Santoine,'
he said, when they had exchanged
greetings, "but-,for today-what are
the limits of my leash?"
''Mr. Avery is going to the country
club for lunch 1 believe he intends to
ask you if you care to go with him.
She turned away and went into the
study, closing the door behind her. Ea-

ROOM He did not know whether he
would refuse or accept Avery's invita-
ton; suddenly he decided. After wait
ing for some five minutes there over a
second cup of coffee, he got up and
crossed to the study.
81 beg pardon, Miss Santoine," he
explained his Interruption, but you
did not tell me what time Mr.. Avery Is
likely to want me to be ready to so to
the country club"
"About half-past twelve, think"
"And what time shall we be coming

"Probably about FIVE"
He thanked her and withdrew. He
the door behind him; their eyes had
not met; but he understood that she
had comprehended him fully. Today
he would be away from the Santoine
house, and away from the guards who
watched him, for at least four hours
under no closer espionage than that OF
Avery; this offered opportupity-the
first opportunity he had had-for com
munication between him and his
friends outside the house.
He went to his room and made
some slight changes in his dress; he
came down then to the library, fount

feet Of an opponents pony, then he
looked up and nodded to her. Harriet
drove up and stopped beside the bar
rier; people hailed her from all sides,
and for moment the practice was
stopped as the players trotted over to
speak to her. Then play began again,
and she had the opportunity to look
for Eaton. Her father, she knew, had
instructed Avery that Eaton was to be
introduced as his guest; but Avery
evidently had either carried out these
Instructions in purely mechanical
manner or had not wished Eaton to
be with others unless he himself wns
