"That's right. You really can trust
me, you know. I'm not SO bad as
sound"
Tucking the check into the wee
pocket Of her sweater, Sylvia caught
up her pert beret and perched 1t upon
her curls.
$50 long" she called, looking back
over her shoulder as she opened the
door. $50 long, Marcia! I'll be back
as soon as ever I can"
The haste with which she disap-
peared, suddenly precipitated her into
the arms Of young man who stood
upon the steps preparing to knock.
"Hortie Fuller" cried Sylvia breath
lessly. "Hortie! Where on earth did
you come from?"
Her arms closed about his neck and
he had kissed her twice before she
swiftly withdrew, rearranging her curls
and saying coldly:
81 cannot imagine what brought you
here, Horatio."

The youthful and comely "Widder"
Marcia Howe has as her guest her
late husbands niece, Sylvia Hayden. A
stranger exhausted, finds his way to
Marcia's home. He asks her to hide a
package containing jewelry. She does
so. Elisha Winslow, town sheriff, brings
news of a jewel robbery nearby. The
stranger gives his name as Stanley
Heath. Sylvia discovers the jewels, and
naturally believes Heath is a robber,
but decides to say nothing. Marcia
feels she has too deep an interest in
her guest, but is powerless to over
come it. Heath wires Mrs. S. c. Heath"
New York, saying he is safe. He also
orders a man named Currier to come
at once. Sylvia, in her room, bedecks
herself with the Jewels. At Marcia's
approach she hides them there. Heath
asks Marcia to bring them to him. They
are gone! Sylvia restores the Jewels to
their original hiding place. Elisha
Winslow discovers them and has no
doubt they are the stolen gems, and
Heath Is a thief. Leaving the Jewels,
he makes plans for arresting Heath.
Currier arrives. Marcia overhears
Heath describe how he acquired the
gems, and is forced to believe him
guilty of theft. Currier investigates the
hiding place-and finds the gems He
returns to New York with them, but
his references to MRS. Heath" have
convinced Marcia her tender dream has
been a foolish one. Elisha and Eleazer
come to arrest Heath. The Jewels, of
course, are not to be found To Sylvia
Marcia admits she loves Heath and
has faith in his innocence. She tells
him she believes him innocent, but
urges him, If he is guilty, to confess.
He admits nothing, but compels her to
confess she loves him, also telling her
he Is giving himself up to the sheriff.
She insists this must be the end of
their association, and he, thinking she
will not face the disgrace" reproaches
and leaves her.

CHAPTER X-Continued

Then she swayed, caught at a
chair and shrank into it, her body
shaking and her breath coming in gasp
ing, hysterical sobs.
The clock licked on. the surf broke
in muffled undertone, the light faded +;
the candles burned lower, flickered and
Overfowed the old pewter candle
sticks; and still she sat there, her tear
less, dilated eyes fixed straight be-
fore her.
Having no inkling Of a change in
the delightful relations that had for
the past week prevailed in the Home
stead, the atmosphere that greeted
Sylvia when she came down the next
morning was a shock.
Stanley Heath stood at the telephone
talking to Elisha Winslow and on the
porch outside were grouped his suit
case, overcoat and travelling rug. He
was plainly i'll at ease and had little
except the most commonplace remarks
to offer in way of conversation.
Marcia had not slept, as her pallor
and the violet shadows beneath her
eyes attested.
Although the girl did not understand,
she sensed Marcia's need Of her and
rushed valiantly into the breach
filling every awkward pause with her
customary sparkling chatter.
When at length the meal was cut

low, all three of the group rose with
unconcealed relief.
"Wal, Mr.. Heath, see you're ex-
pectin' me-" grinned the sheriff, point
ing toward the luggage beside the
door.
81 am, Mr.. Winslow."
1--WE got my boat Are you ready
to come right along?"
"Quite ready"
Heath went to Sylvia and took her
hand.
"Thank you very much" murmured
he formally. 'for all you've done for
me. / appreciate it more than l can
say. And you, too, Mrs. Howe"
II wish you luck. Mr.. Heath" called
Sylvia.
THANKS"
"And l, too" Marcia rejoined in a
voice scarcely audible.
To this the man offered no reply.
They followed him to the door.
1t was then that Marcia sprang for
ward and caught Elisha's arm.
"Where are you taking him, Elisha?"
she demanded, catch in her voice.
"Remember, Mr.. Heath has been Ill.
You must not risk his getting cold or
suffering any discomfort"
"YOu need have no worries on that
score, Marcia" replied the sheriff
kindly, noticing the distress In her
face. TN look out for him."
"Where Is he going?"
"To my house for the present" Eli
sha answered. "I've a comfortable

With a comfortable salary reas-

to return West, looked up Betty

for several days to attract her at

TO lay serious suit for her hand.
Much to his surprise she promptly
accepted and they were married on

said.
