Bowery ballad. Listen:
Twas a balmy summer evening,
and a goodly crowd was there,

was her understanding now that the
attack was not meant for her father
but for Eaton.
Though Harriet had never believed

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 1t 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 Santeine
descending the stairs; rising, he went
out into the hall to meet her.
II 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; 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-
ton, although he had finished his break
fact, went back into the breakfast
room. He did not know whether he
would refuse or accept Avery's invita-
tion suddenly he decided. After wait

Wall Safe to the Right of the Door.
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. Mr. Warden, who
appeared to have known more about
Eaton than anyone else, had taken Ea-
tons side; it 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 Mr.. War
den had known? But Mr.. Warden,
apparently, had kept what he knew
even from his own wife; and Eaton
was now keeping it from everyone
her father included. She felt that her
father had understood and appreci-
ated all this long before herself-that
it was the reason for his attitude
toward Eaton on the train and, in part,
the cause Of his considerate treatment
of him all through.
Eaton's manner to her father, she felt
an impulse of feeling toward him
flooding her, feeling which she tried
to explain to herself as sympathy. But
it was not just sympathy; she would
not say even to herself what it was.
She got up suddenly and went to
the door and looked into the hall; a
servant came to her.
"Is Mr. Avery still with Mr.. San

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 to
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
put the envelopes into it. closed it,
and replaced the books. Then she
went to her fathers desk, took from
a drawer long typewriter report of
which he had asked her to prepare a
digest, and read it 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 hall.

"No; too many motors pass on that
