loyal. lira. Oglethorpe was ready
to give me over to the police. She
seemed to think that I had mun
dered fiery—no doubt during the
revolution. when it would have
been quite easy. And she seemed
to resent quite bitterly my resemo
blance to Mary in her youth—as it
I had committed a theft."
“Probably it made her feel her
age. I wonder you saw her."
"I was coming down the stairs
as she crossed the hall. Be sure
I would out have seen her l! I
could have avoided it."
“Why?” ' He left his seat rash
lonely and leaned against the man-
tel-shelf. “That sounds importi-
nent. All my questions have been
impertinent. I am afraid. But-4
should warn you—I gather that
both Mr. Dinwiddie and Mrs. Ogle-
thorpe think there is something
wronr—that is. unexplained."
“Really?" She looked intensely
amused. “But that is interesting.
Of course I knew of Mr. Dinwid-
die'a curiosity from Judge Trent—
but I rather thought
“Oh, yes. you have floored him
completely. But i fancy he's more
curious that: ever. I-l—lwish you
would confide in me. I might be
better able to detend you if the
necessity krone."
“Don't you believe I am what I
represent myself to be?"
"It is a terrible thing to say to
a woman like you. but——"
He expected her to rise in her
majesty and order him to leave the
house. but she merely smiled again
and said:
“You forget Judge Trent.

"I believe you could mafia: any
man believe what you wished him
to believe.” 1;
"Except yourselt."
"Remember that a newspaper
man— However. I'll speak only
for myself." He thrust his hands
into his pocltets and tried to sum-
mon his saturnine expression. but
he had an uncomfortable feeling
that he looked merely wistful and
boyish and that this highly accom-
plished woman of the world was
laughing at him. "For my own
sake I want to know," he blurted
out. "I haven't an idea why I sue-
pect you. and it is possible that
you are what you say you are.
Certa‘niy you are far too clever
not to have an alibi it would be
dimcult to puncture. But i sensed
something that first night . . .
something beyond the fact that you
were a European and did a curious
thing—which, however. I under-
stood immediately. . . . It was
something more. . . . i don't
think I can put it into words . . .
you were there. and yet you were
not there . . . somebody else
seemed to be looking out of your
eyes . . . even when Dlnwiddie
thought he had explained the mat-
ter. . . ."
“You mean when he assumed
that I was the illegitimate daugh-
ter of Mary Zattiany. Poor Mary!
She always wanted a daughter—
that is, when her own youth was
over. That is the reason she was
so fond of me. Do you think I am
Mary's bastard 'i"
“I did—l don't now. . . . I
don't know what to think. . . .
I have never lost that first impres-
slop—wholly."
She stirred slightly. Was it a
movement of uneasiness! He was
horribly embarrassed. but deter-
mined to hold his ground. and he
kept his eyes on her face. which
retained its expression at mocking
amusement.
“But you think i am an adven-
turess of some sort."
“The word does not apply to you.
There is no question that you are
a great lady.”
“Of course I might be an ao~
tress." she said coolly. “‘I may

He laughed. "Bully plot for the

For the first time since he had
