The fierce Brigands. as soon as they saw Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy and the little fat captain come around a bend in the path, jumped up and captured our friends, tieing them to a tree so that they would not escape.
 "We do not care to have you escape and find the hidden treas- ure." the leader of the Brigands said to the little captain. If you should escape and find the buried . treasure which is hidden upon this island, we could not find 1t ourselves and we want it for our very own!"
 Maybe there are two or three different treasures buried upon the island." Raggedy Andy said. Then you could find one and we could find one and there would be a lot for both Of us"
 All the Brigands laughed very loud at this for they were very rude men.
 'Ha, hs, ha. Don't you believe it." the Brigand leader cried, Even if there were six treasures buried up- on this island. there wouldn't be any more than we want. We shall take every smidgin of treasure we can find!"

 So the Raggedys and the little fat captain pretended that they had gone 10 sleep and the captain pre- tended to snore, but not so loud, but that they could hear what the Bri- gands said to each other.
 Tn the morning we will leave the Raggedys and the fat captain tied 10 the tree, because they would be too much bother if we took them along as prisoners" the Brigand leader said.
 Indeed! They would!" a fierce Brigand said. Then, when we find where the treasure is buried. We will come back and get them and make them dig for the treasure while we sit down and play cards and have fun" r--
 That is an excellent idea, Self ish," the Brigand leader said to the man who had spoken. Now. as we wish 10 get an early start, we must all get to elseHI"

 My pulses throbbed with a jealous suspicion that long had been absent from them. None knew better than l--for had heard the fact often enough from DiCky--that Edith Fairlax's artistic attainment were not very high, But also knew that her determination never failed, her energy neycr flagged and because of the respect for her grit and the gen. uine liking for her personality, prs VaiIing among a Cotcrie of artistic kindred spirits to whom Dicky and Lillian Underwood both belonged. there had come to her, through their unobtrusive aid modest measure of success which she never could have attained unaided.
 Leia's artistic ambitions had been early overshadowed by her love for Alfred Durkee. and l knew that the best friends of the two sisters had for a long time hoped that Edith would give up the struggle and &C., cept the home and devotion which Dr. Jim Paige had kept inWolate for her.
 But this revelation of her plans emphatically negatived all such hopes, and the jealous conviction that somehow, somewhere, Dicky was involved in her sudden change of schedule, suddenly loomed terrify- ingly before me. I was able, how ever, to muster will-power enough to register conventional interest, but I was grateful indeed to my mother in-law for her emphatic--and I guessed-intentional sidetracking of the subject.

 Oh, I know a great many people will think I am crazy to say this but nevertheless each day l find that it is true in my case. l am eagerly waiting until my other child is born to see if nature will make any diff ference between the child of my body and the child of my choice.

There is much to be set tied, of course, about the shop and other things, However, ] will not come back with John immediately, as I hate to leave mother here alone.

So the Brigands all prepared to roll up in their blankets for the night when the man called Selfish" said, Maybe, it would be d good plan to search the captives before we go 10 sleep"
 You always think of the right thing to dol" the Brigand leader said as he went over and felt in Rag gedy AndySs pockets, Here's a nice jack knife" he said. Then when he felt in Raggedy Ann's apron pocket he found the candy covered cookies. And here is a map show ing that the treasure is buried upon Watch Tower Hiil." he cried when e.felt in the captains pocket. Now we are sure to find the treasure" So putting the jack knife and the cooks ies and the map in his pocket, the Brigand leader wrapped himself in his blanket and was soon snoring as loudly as the other Brigands.
 Now we cannot escape" Rag gedy Andy said when he was certain the Brigs2ds were sound asleep.

 i've settled that will business to my own satisfaction" said Dobbins sternly. T believe, Mrs. Raynor, that the day your husband was killed you had very unusually Be- we're quarrel, had you not"
 Not a quarrel, MT. Dobbins, but my husband had been unusually angry at me"
 But on that day he was so angry that he threatened to destroy the will he had made in your favor"
 How did you know that?" and Nan looked truly astounded.
 N"Ah, you thought your little tiffs were not overheard, did you? But Miss Raynor happened to be passing your door-and as you had both raised your voices-or at any rate Mir. Raynor had-she heard him say"
 Passing the door. She was eavesdropping, as usual. Very well, he did say that"
 "And-you thought the crisis had come, and so, Mrs. Raynor that af- ternoon you shot him so that he couldn't destroy that will. Bu1-he had already done SOL"
 How do you know"
 Because it cannot be found. And who else would make away with it? Surely you wouldn't-nor his sister nor could any one want that will destroyed.
 Except Lionel Raynor-" Nan began.
 He wasn't here" said Dobbins, sternly. You cant drag him in. The case is clear. You feared the destruction of that will. you had be- come newly interested in your re- turned suitor you had reached the point of desperation with your hus- bands cruelty-you concluded to end it all. The pistol. your hus- bands own, was convenient in the drawer of the table. Every one else had left the tea table and gone to dress for dinner. Perhaps acting impulsively. because of such a good chance. you stepped into the sun parlor. shot your victim, dropped the weapon and ran out again just as Mir. Finley. arriving at once from the east&ide, saw your disappearing figure hurrying through the door op- posite.

 Good lord, man." cried old Gan. non, "the lady's fainting. How could you blurt out all that! Get out of my way!" And fairly brushing the detective aside, the great, gaunt man lifted the dropping figure before him. and carried Nan swiftly Into the house and placed her on a couch in the | living room.

Burke, Continued.
 With Jack and Karl came dads lawyer, and we all assembled in the library to hear the will read. At this time Alice made her first appearance among us since We had returned from the funeral. Poor child, she looked as though she had had serious itl- ness, and felt so sorry for her that I went up and put my arms around her.
 haven't told you, Ruth, that we had quite a disturbance when Karl and Alice first arrived, and Jack told her that father had made him his executor and manager of the plant Of course, after everything else, the quarrel got back to the pearls, and l gave them back to her and told Karl, before Jack and Alice, that l could not 10 keep my promise to him; that had never been happy with them, and could never again wear them, knowing how Alice felt about them.
 So you see have gotten rid of at least one thing that might bring me discord and unhappiness, but I'm somewhat afraid that I've only passed them with all their dire im- port over to Alice and Karl; for Karl reproved Alice before US all, and it nearly broke her heart
 She was- very subdued through the long legal announcements made by the lawyer in reading the will, It was exactly as Jack had told LIS, ex- cept that it was couched in legal phrases. Dad gave to mother for life the income from his entire real estate; and a third of the income from his personal property and in- vestments as long as she should live. The income from the other two- thirds is to be divided eqEally be- tween Alioo, myself and little John. and John is made exccutor without bond.
 Both of us started when this item was read, and Jack turned pale, for dad had not told him that part Of his bequest. thought at first Alice fA ttAo s-D4aAE AH lA-lihhtEsl flN't 'Ar IN al put his hand gently over hers and she was silent.

Well. don't ever do it again." Nan frowned at him severely. T refuse to submit to your blackmail- ing scheme--for that is what 1t Is. But I shall repeat your conversation to the detective ,and he will make further inquiries I know, Grim shave Cannon, I know, that you witnessed that will and that you now know where it is. And you'll be made to give it up! Here comes MT. Dobbins now!'
 Sure enough, the detective was coming toward them, evidently in search of Mrs. Raynor.
 "I give this man over to you, Mir. Dobbins," she said, exctedly; he witnessed the will my husband made in my favor, and he has it now concealed somewhere, He stole it. I don't know why-but I want you to find out all about it."
