He could not find an answer, and
the girls return made further Ques-
tioning impossible. Cynthia leaned
back against her chair. limp and
white. He had not the heart to add
to her burdens. She was playing a
trying role. and he must move Heaven
and earth to sustain rather than to
discourage her.
And now another question presented
itself. Had Cynthia a plan. unknown

the sea and as blue, the slender
graceful figure, the exquisitely shaped
hands, white and soft. and suddenly
his mind flew back to the scene in
the sleeping car, so vividly described
by Paul. "a slim woman's hand
very, very white, upon the curtain
Of the berth opposite, and upon the
finger a ring with the strangest ruby
1 have ever SEEN"
He sat alert in his chair, every
nerve on edge as he retraced his
steps through that night and day
in Los Angeles, the police court, the
lapidist, the report that the Salvation
Army officers had gone to Santa Bar
bara in a car belonging to Mrs. Butler
Rogers.
Cynthia" he leaned forward and
whispered as the girl went in ques,
of ice water, ''you are Adjutan'
| Gabrielle?"
She blanched a trifle. but her eyes
did not waver.
Yes" she whispered back.
Frank felt as If he had been deal,
a knockout blow. His mind at frs,
refused to believe the appalling reve
lation. Yet no doubt remained that
Cynthia believed her daughter still
alive, had brought Carolita from the
Argentine, and, assisted by Gaines ano
her own disguise, had attempted tc
guard her from Walter during the
perilous journey west. She haC
wanted Paul to be upon the train ir
case of emergency. She had wired te
| the, Los Angeles attorneys to come to
him when he had appeared to be in q
dangerous position.
All this was as clear as a Summer
day, yet where did it lead? Who was
Milana? What part did he play
Where had he taken the girl? CoulC
she be recovered?
The rings also entered into the sit
| uation, and the more Frank pondereC
the more convinced he became that
the white hand upon the berth cur
tain belonged to Cynthia. 1t was slrs
| who had stolen the ring from about
| Milana's neck, either losing it under
the seat of No. or hiding it there or
purpose. That the rings were the
identification necessary to prove the
girls claim to the estate he did not
doubt, and Paul had deposited them
both in the Reynolds locked box.
Another ineXplicable complication
was Cynthia's failure to make herself
known to Paul and himself. What
lay behind such an evasion? What
did she fear? WhV-and this was the

Back To-" she came to dead
stop. "Say, guess I'm telling
things Walter wouldn't like!'
''Oh, no." Cynthia assured her. It's
all in the family! You're at home
now, safe and sound"
She leaned back in her chair, her
lifted eyebrows her only signal to
Frank. He saw that he had learned
all that was advisable for the pres
ent, and began to plan for their ar
rival in Los Angeles.
You'll go to the Ambassador,
Cynthia?"
II think so, Frank. I have always
been comfortable there. John Carr
ought to arrive tomorrow or the next
day. 1 am eager to see him."
''Then I'll put you in a taxi and
go straight to the Office" Frank
agreed. Burns will be waiting for
me, 1 know. I'll telephone you if he
has had any news from Carr" He
wanted to add: tAnd Gaines"' but
he did not dare.
Wherever Walter had found this
girl. it was evident that her own
suspicious were aroused. Miss Cynthia
Reynolds was not sure Of herself.
It had disturbed her to be removed
from Walter. and he would undoubt-
edly make every effort to get her
again into his clutches. Could
Cynthia's wits match his? Frank
thought SO. He marveled at her
quick grasp of the situation, her play
ing so successfully into Walters
hands. Frank had almost been de-
ceived himself. She was a gallant
fighter, this woman whom the older
Reynolds had loved so devotedly. And
the child? What part had she played?
For what reason had Edmund
Reynolds been willing to abandon his
daughter as dead, then make her
q prominent part of his will? The
ugly doubts that would creep in, no
matter how hard he tried to vanquish
them, struggled uppermost. Cynthia
was the mother of a daughter, but
was Edmund Reynolds her father?
Frank studied the face of the widow
with its delicate, high-bred features.

CHAPTER xxx.
Fighting for Time.

Cynthia and Frank Hyatt sat in the
parlor car of the Los Angeles train,
little Cynthia in the chair beside her
new mother. IT had not been easy
to take the girl away from Walter
and only a supremely clever woman
could have brought about the sepa-
ration. Quick thinking and quicker
action had done it. The trip to Los
Angeles was nothing but a fight tC
gain time.
Cynthia" Frank said as the train
sped along, IT was not with Burns
when this little girl was lost, but I
have always had the impression that
she was dead. Can't you tell me about
it?' His eyes were upon the girl
listening with senses alert. What was
the child thinking, he wondered. How
much did she know or suspect?
Cynthia motioned to the girl to
come and sit upon the arm of her
chair.
Dear child" she said, "Mr. Hyatt
is asking me to tell him how you
were taken from me. Has Walter told
you that?'
The girl hesitated.
"No," she said at last, only that
I belong to you
Tell me about your life? Where
have you been living all this time?
Did you know that you were lost
child? Did it worry you. my poor
little thing?" Her hand stroked the
dark head so close to hers.

"Walter's visits, you mean?" Cynthia
pursued gently.

mo school! What a strange placer!
"Say. you don't know much about
the border, do you? All I ever seen
was bootleggers and highjackers-be-
lieve me, it's a helluva life" Her
lips curIed in fine contempt.
Frank saw Cynthia s lips quivering
suspiciously while he repressed his
own smile.
Then, dear, you haven't had your
education yet?"
You bet | have: I'm one of these
graduates OF the university of life

Il suppose you picked up reading

chuckle as he put the question.
"Oh, yes-learned that before
she stopped abruptly.

The girl hesitated again.
