CHAPTEH XV.
TRUTH OH FALSUSHOOD?
Miss Ballantyno'a faco -una a study.
Astonishment, hopo. and fenr BtruKgled
for expression. Rutherford, however,
after tho first Instant's amazement, was
keen to lnvcstleato the claim of this new
comer to belnir the accredited agent. There
wcro altogether too many unuxpeticu
things
nf necklnco
this meetlnir to co uninvestigated. Ho
glanced over his shoulder to wo If Held
erman were returning, but without result.
He looked this newcomer over gravely,
and tho man returned his gaze In an
oven more searching manner, thanks to
the thick glasses.
"Havo you something to piovo thnt you
are Jerome Lcclcru?" Craig nsked with
his usual directness of speech.
These."
The otranger InM five newspaper clip
pings on the table. They were tho no
tices that nuthetford had Inserted in the
Canadian papors. By their side he placed
tho original of Craig's typewriten de
scription of the girl. And other papers of
identification.
"I might mention that I nm fully cm
powered to carry out (he provisions of
tho late Geoffrey Millantvne's will In the
matter of tho blue buckle." ho bald
briskly.
"Oh!" 31lss Ballantyno merely breathed
the exclamation; but It showed that ehe
was vainly trying to reconcile this man's
claim to credence with tho financier's pre.
tensions.
Rutherford could follow her thought.' as
he was going over lit his own mind tho
whole ot Hetderman's conversation. He
could Beo how ambiguous it was how
by suggestion he had led Ml.'s Ballantyno
Into admitting tho object of tnetr meet
ing. It was entirely probable that Helder
man had only made use of his wits tho
shrewd, keen wits seemingly endowed
with a woman's intuition and a business
man's trained loejc to say tho very
thlnsa which would draw his hcaroro out.
How well ho had succeeded, Rutherford
was only too ready to admit, with a rue
ful shako of the head. He had certainly
.UllllU WMV 1IJ fc.tJ iir .tl' . , I
"Tou say you were (old that we coti'd
not see you at once7" t-ralg nsKect.
"Yes, thnt you wcro ensagod with some
one. but would bo at leisure In a few
minutes. The boy came and told me. only
Just now, that you criuld seo me." Tlieio
was a faint suggestion of impatience iiv
Leclero's voice. He etill remained stand
ing, papers in hand.
The two seated at the table looked at
rach other askance.
"It was a clever scheme!" exclaimed
Craig.
"Do you believe that he arranged lt
to find out about the buckle?" she gasped
"Precisely."
"But how did he know that wo were
to be here?" she ouestloned as much to
herself as to him, "No ono could pos
sibly have known about it, except your
man and my maid."
"Qooley Is trustworthy," said Crale,
shortly.
"And you know how I trust Sophie,"
he sold.
"It's more than I do" Rutherford
(bought, but did not say.
"If It Is convenient we will get to busi
ness," announced tho agent in Ills crisp,
est tones.
"Oh, I am so sorry, Mr. I.cclerc!" Miss
Ballantyne cried, rising to her feet.
"Please do sit down!"
Rutherford reddened, as he sprang up
and helped tho man draw a chair close
to the table,
"I beg your pardon, sir. The truth is,
" RESOKTS '
we have just had a somewhat disquieting
ndventtire, and It has made me forget my
manners."
The lawyer accepted tho npologlci nnd
the proffered seal.
"You have come prepared wlih your
proofs, Miss Uallantyne7" he said, com
ing (o (ho point with a promptness which
seemed habitual.
"Yes, sin they nro all here the mar
riage certificate of my father and mother,
some family portraits, tho certificate of
my birth, my baptismal record, t have
oven brouglu somo merK-rccords from my
early school days, so that jou might
be quite suro."
Miss Ballantyno had opened a Russia
leather bag which looked like a music
caso beforo (he lawjer, or agent, as hn
had called himself In his correspondence
She had carried It herself, refusing (he
offer of both Craig nnd (ho waller to
relievo her of it, when they entored tho
dining room.
The lawyer ran through (ho documents
wllh a quick and practiced eye.
"Very good, I (hlnk," he said npprov
ingly "I must make n fow notes to com
pare with records In our orflce. And.
Miss Bnllantync, It Is necessary-1 am
acting exactly according to the Instruc
tions set down In tho will of a deceased
client, you understand It Is necesjnry for
you to furnish affidavit that you live
alone,"
Miss Ballantyno seemed entirely undis
turbed by this strange condition, but
Rutherford heard it with dismay.
"So I havo understood, Mr. I.eclerc,"
ehe replied. "You may not know tho
reason for such a provision; but my uncle,
Geoffrey Bnllantync, did my father nn
Irrepnrablo wrong In life, nnd now seeks
(his means (o preven( him from regnlnlng
his properly and, what Is dearer, h's
reputation.
The girl's faco glowed In her enthusias
tic dofense of her father, but the lawyer
was Impassive nnd attended strictly to
tho business In hand.
You can furnish mo with the required
proofs?" he snld.
"Cerlnlnly," she replied, wldi nn ns-viii--nnce
to which Craig listened with grow
ing perplexity.
"Are they with these papers?" tho law-
ycr asked, Indicating tho leather bag.
"They are," she nnswered, turning
doftly to the desired document.
'I see," nodded the lawjer "Affidavits
lone (lint is,
you do not live with your father or
he with you "
"Yes. I do not suppose such affidavit
oxcludes my maid."
Rutherford stared at Miss Ballantjne.
Surely she must know (hat she was ut
tering deliberate falsehood yet her face
was the very mirror of innocence. She
must have forgotten that he had henrd
her father's olcn In the West inth street
hoii'e not once but twice He had been
denied nn invitation to the house on tho
night of their visit to the little rnfe be
cause of her father and because of
something else a mj story that he could
not fathom
The lawyer was examining this paper
more closelv than the others
"You understand, Slls BollantMie. thnt
I nm concerned onlv with your fultllment
of the conditions of this remarkable will
to the verv letter I must be convinced
thnt you are prnctlcallv separated actu
ally estranged physically separated from
jour father."
"I will leave that paper or anv others
with you, Mr. Leclerc You will find nlso
In the packet an affidavit from my father
in which he swears that we havo never
lived under tho rnme roof since coming
to this countrj' "
"Miss Ballantyne!"
Rutherford could not repress the ex
clamation It hint him like a sharp
wound (o hear her make such nn astound
ing slatcment to (hli man without raising
her volco or so much ns tho flutter of nn
eyelid. How could sho expect him to
believe her nfter this? Still without the
flutter of an ejelld she glanced saucily at
Craig and thcro was a challenge Iri her
glance. H was as thouelt sba snld "1
nm doing this, Mr. Rutherford, not you,"
She turned back to I.cclere.
"You will find also," she said slowly,
"nn affidavit from me covering specific
nlly all persons who have enlered my
home. You will find (he adldavUs of (ha
manager and the clerk of (he Hotot Mono
llth. They will proto (o you that my

utes nfter he was tlirough with tho cus
toms oftlcors at tho dock where (he
Gothic landed nnd that he has lived thero
over since, spending each night nnd most
of every day- at that hotel "
Rutherford said no more nnd withdrew
his e-es from the girl thouch she did
not withdraw her eyes from him lie
would have been uneasy had ho know;n
that (hose eyes were laughing nt him. Ho
lennod back In Ills chair, busjlng himself
In RtUiljItiR tho menu enrd He remem
bered distinctly the events of thnt first
crowded dnv. Ho had hoard her father
In tho West 10th street house not later
than an hour after ho himself had left
the dock. Knowing the susnlelon at
tached lo tho smuggled necklace, he was
certain that Mr. Bnllantyno would havo
had a longer seance with the customs of
'flrcrr than ho hlmrolf. Of course, tho
piescnco of the necklnce In his own pocket
bad doubtless resulted In nn earlier es
cape for Mr Ballantyne, hut rertnlnly he
could not havo finished with them, gone
across town and registered nt the Slono
llth and then gotten downtown to West
10th sticet ngnln In less than nn hour!
Craig sought refuge from (his s(ng
gerlng weigh! of evidence bj- puzzling
ngnln over (he unexpected appearance of
Heldenmiti thnl afternoon Then he sud
denlv remembered that the banker hnd
dellbprntelv brought up the subject of tho
blue buckle on that first meeting on shlp-
uoaru.
I.Ik- a flash It occurred to Craig thnt
Helderman's Interest In It nnd thnt of
Miss Aranv might he Identical' He did
not terall having seen them together cm
the Gothic but the bnnker might have
met nnd mingled wlt'n many passengers
unknown to him It would he quite natu
ral that Miss Arany. evidently n for
eigner, should have rested her claim to
the buckle In tho hands of this blatant
financier, whoso queer connections nbrond
hnd brought him to her attention. Hel
dermen might well have heard of tho
meeting this afternoon through tho Fly
Fophle, nnd have como In person (o seo
what tho Ballnntj'no faction were dnlng
to outwit his client It was n clever lit
tle nio and hnd worked ndmlrnbly
"I must cxnmlno and verify these." oli
erved the lawyer. "It will take tho bet
ter part of a week."
"And then ?" the girl questioned
eagerlj- leaning forwnrd, her eyes spar
kling with excitement.
"On I-'rldav of this week If t ran man
age It bv that time," snld I.eclerc, look
ing through his thick glasses as though
he had only now discovered a humnnnes.s
and charm in this new client. "Meet me
nt 3 o'clock in the afternoon "
"Here''" sho finished, ton impatient to
await the slow speech of tho man nt law.
"So at tho offices of mv correspond
ents, Cow en, Covington & Brown, 32 Nas
sau street. Will j-ou undertake to pilot
Miss Ballantyno downtown?" ho asked,
turning to Rutherford.
The latttr took a memorandum book
from Ids pocket nnd consulted lis pages.
"I'm orry, but t shall be unable lo be
there," he said, qulellj-. "However, I
shall make note of the address and will
send n car around for Miss Ballantjne."
As lio Rcrlbbled, Mist Bnllantyno looked
quickly at him. He cbuld feci her glance,
but did not meet It.
"Your address, Mlsi Bnllanlj-ne." tho
lawjer requested; "In caso t should find
It necessary to change the hour or place
ot the meeting. And one (hlnc more do
no( fall (o bring tho blue bucklo with
Jon. Is It in j-our poisesslon?"
"It Is In samo hands. I shall bring It,"
sho icptlcd.
As ho wrote down her nddress with
careful precision, sho said, timidly:
"You havo nsked me several questions,
Mr Leclerc. Now n)ay I ask you one?"
Ho peered down Into tie eager, up
turned face with a calmness that was lit
tle short of amazing to Rutherford.
"Certainly though I may not be at
liberty (o answer It."
"You havo (ho odier bluo bucklo?"
"Not wllh me," was the lawyer-like
reply.
"You have seen 117 Tou remember how
It looks?" Miss Ballantyne leaned for
ward, clasping and unclasping her hands,
In tho effort to subdue her excitement.
"Posslblj'," rejoined licclcrc.
"Tell mo the inscription on it, please;--
It was a command rnther than nn en
treatj', made with all the bewildering
appeal that womankind has known how
to use since the world was young; but
tho present man of business and caution
was unshaken,
'Is tlieio nn Inscription on It?" ho par
ried. Miss Bnllantyno leaned back In her
chair with a llltlo sigh of disappointment.
She had read tho lawyer's determination
to din her no Information. Lcclero took
advantage of the ensuing silence to gnther
up his papers and say good-by.
After ho had depnrted, Crnlg waited a
tnnmnnt for lirr to SDCak DcrliaOS to Offer
somo explanation but sho only pnsied
her hand acres ncr ej-es, na u in weari
ness .. .
"Vou nro tired. Miss Ballantyne," ho
said. "Come, It has been a taxing after
noon for you Lot mo cnll a cab."
"Thank vou,' she said, rising nnd wnlk
Ing toward tho door, In obvious preoccu
pation of thought.
He assisted her Into tho cnb, and was
on tho point of closing tho door upon hor,
nnd giving her address to tho driver.
"Whv nrcn't you coming?" sho nsltcd,
slnrtled out of her brown stud.v.
"Thnnlt you, no," he answered, turning
ffan iliinv
Her s'mnll gloved hand was suddenly
laid upon his, ni It rested on the sill.
"I wish you wouiai"
"I'm sorry, but"
"I shall thlnk-you arc not pleased with
me that you havo been thinking unkind
things about me'" And there was the
sheen of tears In her eyes.
Rutherford was not pleased with her,
but was still less pleased with himself.
Without nnother word ho entered the cnb.
Tho gill glanced timidly at him, once
or twice, nnd seeing that he was not dis
posed to speak, sho mado a brave effort
to begin the ronversndon Her lips
parlcd uncertainly with a forced llttln
laugh; nnd her olco was not quite stendy

"Do ou know, Mr. Rutherford, what

Craig glanced swiftly nt her, nnd saw
thnt her mock-banter wns emplojed to
relieve tho tenseness of the situation
that she was fighting hard for self-control

"You havo Judged me already)' she
"Then I shall reverse (he decision until

"Oh, that Is too soon"' .
"Un(ll you explain then." ho announced,
"What Is (he-first Ihlng-you want me

"How can your fadier have a dual per;

Ho did not want lo accuse her, in so
many words, of falsehood! and now in
slcad of cringing under his Implied ac
cusation, she merely laughed. Looking
at her ha felt all desire to cross-examine
die away within him, nnd Instead a man
like eagerness (o make the most of his
opportunity with this provoking bit ot
femlnlnttj'.
-Miss , what other name havo you
beside Wllhclmlna?" he nsked, laying
his linnd upon tho little gloved ono by
his side, . .
"Father calls mo Blllle," she answered.
"Blllle, Blllle. Blllle I" he whispered, and
with every utterance of the saucy little
nnmo he drew nearer to her.
At this moment the cab stopepd.
"Look, we're home, and mere's Sophie
out In front. I'm glad sho returned before
I did."
Thev hnd. In fact, drawn up in front
of the West 10th street house, Tho maid
was Just going up (ho s(eps, evidently
from an aflcrnoon out Rutherford, pro
voked, assisted IiIr companion (o alight,
and she ran up tho stairs (o glvo some
lns(ruc(lons to her maid. The lalter
glanced around furtively at Rutherford
beforo unlocking the door and going In.
"Miss Blllle, I'm coming In," announced
Rutherford In a voice which indicated
that he meant to enrry out his Intention.
"I have something Important to s.ij'."
Miss Ballantyne mndo no protest, for
sho seemed (o see (hnt It would bo use
less. Rutherford enmo In.
"Oh. Mademoiselle, the telephone has
been ringing long!" snld the maid, com
ing hack to meet them. "Shnll I answer
it, Yes?"
"No. I will answer, Sophie," snld her
mistress. .
Sho went upstairs, nnd Craig followed.
The hell wns. Indeed, ringing with a
long-drawn Insistency that suggested It
had been doing so for a long while.
Miss Bnllantyne took the receiver, and
nt the first words she turned pale.
"Walt a moment." she snld to the
other person; "Mr. Rutherford Is here.
Tell him, please!"
Rutherford was by her side. Her volco
told him that something hnd happened.
She held out tho roceivcr to him.
"Waltl" ho whispered, nnd he tiptoed
qulelly back nnd closed (he door. "Who
Is 1(7" he snld, reluming.
"Father," sho answered.
"Hello, Mr. RlKhcrford!" the volco
called. "I disliked to alarm my daugh
ter unnecessary, but I have reason to
believe that some persons, ono of them a
man, visited the rooms there, this after
noon." "Where here?"
"Yes."
"Do you know who they were?"
"I heard n man's volco nnd a woman's
voice. I didn't recognize the latter, but
the mnn was Helderman."
"What! Helderman!"
"Yes, 1 couldn't possibly bo mistaken
in his voice. I heard him plalnlj-."
"Tho woman couldn't have been the
maid here?" Rutherford spoke low Into
the transmitter. "Perhaps she was ex
plaining her mlstresa' absence to a
caller."
"Nonsense!" retorted Mr. Ballantyne,
patiently. "I know Sophie's voice, of
course. It was nnother woman."
"Weren't jou here7" Craig Inquired,
bluntly.
"They were talking about the blue
buckle," tho answer came, evading his
question, npparentl.v.
"About what time?"
"Between a quarter after 5 and half
past." Rutherfoul glanced at his watch. It
was sK-llftecn.
"Your daughter wns not here then.

OR the past three weeks we have been pub
lishing these lines: "An Immediate Order
Will Secure Earlier Delivery."
Very Soon We Must Say
All Immediate Order
is Necessary to Secure
Delivery This Season
This is not a boast, but a condition.
Neither the Cadillac Motor Car Company nor the
Automobile Sales Corporation has the slightest desire
to be or appear snobbish.
The demand for the Eight-Cylinder Cadillac is
already country-wide. The Cadillac factory can
make only so many cars this year. Of these we will
get our share and no more.
Users of the Eight-Cylinder Cadillac are everywhere
telling of and demonstrating the wonders of this car.
They declare it to be not alone the best car at about
$2000, but the best car at any price.
The motoring season is about to begin. There is due,
right now, a general awakening to the new possibilities
in motoring embodied in this car. And just as surely
will the demand for it exceed existing facilities for
production.
Therefore, be wise in time
Let Us Give You a Ride
Which Will Be the Surprise
of Your Life
And Then
An Immediate Order
Will Secure Earlier Delivery
