Roger Sheldcn had sought tho obscurity ostensibly for a fort night's fishing, but In reality to bo alone with his thoughts and to seek solace In tho plno forest for an un requited love. If he had been younger or, perhaps, older, , he would have turned to mun dane material for alleviation, but ho was. a quiet, self-contained man with a Becoming suspicion of gray already at his temples. He was so entirely rele gated to the "oldest set" that ho had scarcely entered Into the thoughts or life of young Judith Cary until he nskei her to marry him. She had Bald him hay, but sho had been, so startled by the look she hnd met In his eyes that the Impression had served to keep him In her memory: but Roger, who had Worshiped mostly from afar, quietly nnd. manfully accepted his rebuff and withdrew to this remote spot that he might not suffer the acuto anguish of witnessing her acceptance of the devotion of another man. By the Irony of fate the names above his on tho register were "Mrs. Richard Cary. Miss Cary.' White deliberating whether, to submit to Nemesis or to beat a retreat unseen, for his arrival was at a very early hour In the morning, Judith appeared before him on the dock, winsome and winning, "Oh," she said, coloring' with the con sciousness of a young1 girl. "I thought you always went to the sea shore," he said, after they had formally shaken hands, "Mother Is not very well, and the doc tor prescribed a quiet, secluded spot." "Isn't this an early hour for you to be out?" he asked. "I -woh going to row over to that stretch of woods across the bay to see some In dians who are camping there. They aro civilized Indians, but mother would not approve, so I nm running away." "I was running away, too," ho said, smiling-. "Suppose wo run away or row sway together." "From whom are you running away?" she asked as she stepped Into the boat. "Myself." "You can't do that, you know," sho said, sagely, and feeling that they were on dangerous ground, she deftly changed the subject. When they were nearlng the woods, he looked up anxiously at a darkening sky. "Storms come up quickly In theso parts," he said, bending to tho oars with renewed strength. Before they could land the rain came down In torernts, the wind blew a gale; lashing the waves to a fury, and the sudden darkness was only re lieved by lurid flashes of lightning. Shel dcn glanced at his young companion keenly. "Are you afraid?" he asked curtly. "No," she replied gravely, but the, thought came to her tlrat she was. only unafraid because she felt such Wntlre reliance upon his protection. After a short tramp through-the dense woods they came to n clearing where three tents were pitched. Standing like a. sentinel before one of them was an Indian. At the sound of their voices a white woman, soft-eyed and mlld-fian-ncred. come forth. She at once took Ju dith Inside the tent and brought forth clean dry clothing. While donning theso garments Judith chatted with the woman, who told her that her husband had at tended school at a mission for some time, and that she had there met and married him, but his wandering nature Anally pre vailed against his new ways, and they camped and traveled during- the summer. Alter telephoning, they returned to the camp and Inspected the Indian wares. Later In the afternoon a beautiful young Indlun girl, the sister of E-tar-we-ge-ehlg. returned from a neighboring; village. "Sho can tell your fortune," suggested the white woman, knowing the weakness of her race. That will be lovely!" cried Judith en thusiastically. "Wouldn't you like to have yours told?" She appealed to Shelden. "My fortune has been told," he said significantly with a shade of sadness in his voice. She dropped her eyes and followed tho Indian girl to tho tepee. When she re turned she was llghthearted. "She foretold me a beautiful future," she Informed Hoger. "Won't you let her tell jsoursr He shook his head, smiling. "Please!" she urged,'her eyes and voice pleading. WJU a, little laugh of ssmpllanoo ho went into the tepee. "Was It a goed fortunef" asksd Judith shyly when he came out "Very good; too good to be true." he ;-, Jd, looking at her Intently. ttoser suoaeiuy turned from the boat and le4 Judith a few feet distant to a PJ tree that towered In solitary grand eur from its fellows.

"Do I understand aright that you are my broth cr's partner?" he naked Impressively. "I Sin. I nm asking theso questions In his Interest as much as my own. Your brother has taken out a patent for theso designs, which he regardB as extrcmclj valuable. As soon as 1 examined them I recognized tho central Idea as having oc curred to my old chief. Admiral Plessey, over H years ago. I pointed out to your brother that It was no good sinking nny money In tho Invention unless we wcro sure that It had not been put Into execu tion elsewhere. He told mo that he had the plann from you and always believed that you were tho original Inventor. The tall, lank man slipped off the bed. and divesting himself of his dressing gown proceeded to arrange his collar nnd tie Martin could see his faco In the mirror and observed that It was working strnngely. ... "Thut's nil right," he Bald hoarsely, fumbling with his tic. "You and Eustace can go ahead. That Idea has never been carried out before. You havo my word for Jt- You won't lose your money, Go ahead." "I'm glad to hear that from a business point of view," said Martin, "but I havo a deep personal Interest In this matter. I have ft certnln regard for my old Benlor's memory. I should not like to rob him of tho credit of this Invention if It really belongs to him. In fact, as he has a daughter living, to annex the profits of the Iden would bo nothing less than fraud unless It Is mnde clear that tho plans were originally acquired from him In a per fectly bona fide wny. I hope you agree with me?" "It Beema to mo you're mighty scrupu lous for a man of business, Mr. Arrol," observed Dereve as he slipped on his coat. "It's a matter of common honesty. I gather that you do not clnlm to bo the inventor7" Derove turned on him viciously. "Gather what you like! I never said I wasn't!" "That won't do, Mr. Dereve," Martin smiled incredulously. "If you had been tho true author of these designs you would have Indignantly declared It as soon as I mentioned rriy doubts, tho mo ment tho admiral's name was out of my mouth." Ho looked the tall man Bteadlly In the eye. "I don't yet know how you got hold of those plans, but I'd stake my life that you never drew them. If you did, why did you keep them In your pocket 13 years? It was just 13 years ago that tho admiral was killed." Sydney Dereve Angered his half-smoked cigar nervously and looked over Martin's head. His lips twitched. "I guess my brother was a considerable kind of an ass to go shares with a mealy-mouthed mor alist like you," he said. "I don't advise you to begin paying me compliments of that sort. Mr, Dereve," the sailor warned him. "I haven't fol lowed the sea for 13 years without learn ing how to take care of myself and how to make other men respect me. Remem ber, too, that you are addressing the rep resentative of your brother, and If that counts for anything with you a personal friend of your daughter." Dereve's face softened. "There ain't no sense in getting riled," he admitted sheep ishly; he sat down In a rocklngchalr op posite his orator and spread out his legs. "How is my little glr!7" he Inquired. "I left her In the best of health and spirits," replied Martin, "and she told me to nsk you to come over to England soon," Ho leaned forward and tapped the other on the knee. "Look here. Let's put the cards on the table. There's no one hero but ourselves. Your brother ad mitted to me that he paid you a, mere song for those designs. Whatever It was, I promise you I won't let him ask you for It back. Therefore, what harm can It do you anyway to tell me the truth about this business? How did those plans come Into your possession?" As Dereve listened an expression of mingled alarm and bewilderment crept over his face. lis looked at the ceilinc as If In search of Inspiration, took a long pun ui nis cigar, ana then blew out a cloud of smoke. "1 got those plans," he said slowly, "from another man, whose name It wouldn't be fair to reveal." "Why not?" For the first time Dereve looked at his questioner steadily. "Because you know perfectly well, Mr. Martin Arrol, that the admiral was shot and that the man who originally held those plans would run a very big risk of being accused of tho mur der. You don't want to bring1 another Innocent man into the position In which you once stood yourself, do you?" "Ah." said Martin, "you know all that then?" "Yes, sir, I do." Dereve's manner be came more assured. He banged hla Oat on the table at hla elbow. "What you are after, Mr. Arrol. Is to fix tho blame of that man's death on somebody else and so ejear yourself. I don't blame you, but I ain't going to help you against one of my oufn $als. You may tako thte from nA ordoit't take It. just as you like that this man who took those plans dkla't murdtr the admiral, and that tho admiral was a sooundrej who ridlily 4rv4 lita fatal" Arrol half rose from his chair and alonohsd his flsts. Then all at ones he re membered Mrs. Plawey's words on the pier at Brighton. He flushed hotly and sank bask In tils chair. "I am tf Isfer, I suppose," ho said, with an assumption of calmness, "that too ad miral parted With the plans to ypu or your friend for a monetary consideration on dishonorable terms?" "I doo't say that the terms were dis honorable It wa in other respects that the admiral behaved dlshonorabl ' Mariiu sat, hu cMu resting on bis baud, studying Um onan Vefore hleo. It was evi dent that Dereve waa alarmed by bU in quiry evident also that be knew the -cm of the admiUal's doatb "Vuu know whole lot bout that bust- , girl, and circumstances which were of a kindly disposed fate. ness," said Martin, again laying his hand on the other's knee, "and you have got the plans which were In Admiral Ples .. ,i.v Ymi murdered him yourself." TWovh wont verv pale. "It's a lie," he shouted. "I never murdered him! Who told you that-Huron or that Showgirl woman?" . . w "Huron? What do you know of Hu ron?" demanded the sailor, keeping his eyes fixed on the trembling Anglo-Amerl- "I know more about Huron and his showgirl than ho wants me to know. If they try to fasten tho blame of their dirty work on me, tell them to took out that's nil!" Dereve was walking Up nnd down tho room, his hands In his pockets, puffing furiously nt his cigar. Martin watched him Intently. Hla lips were bent Into a smile of derision. Ho hnd got the man's measure. Dereve was n coward. Ho got up and laid his hand on tho tall man's shoulder. "Out with ill" ho said gently. "If you're an enemy of Huron nnd Mrs. Plessey you should be an ally of mine. Sll down nnd listen to me. Derevo drank off n, stilt gloss of whisky and resumed his seat. He kept his faco turned away from the other man. He was biting nt his lips nervously and could no longer keep his cigar nllght. "I'll bo straight with you," began Mar tin; "I'm In love with Maud Plessey, tho admlrnl's daughter, Mrs. Plessey has mnde up her mind that she shall marry the man you spoko of Huron bcCnuso ho threatens otherwise to revcnl tho dis graceful circumstances of her husband's death. I'm not out to avenge tho ad miral, nor yet to vindicate myself at the oxpensc of his honor. I want to turn this roguo Hurotis' flank to satisfy my girl that ho cannot Injure her or her father's reputation. I don't see why you shouldn't help me In this." In his despcrato ear nestness Martin could not keep a noto of appeal out of hla voice. "If you actually shot tho admiral, I don't know that I feel constrained to hnnd you over to Jus tice " "I never shot him," sulkily reiterated Dereve. "So much tho better. What, then, havo you to fear from Huron or Mrs. Plessey?" He anxiously watched the effect of his words. The tall man sat staring beforo him, white-faced and haggard, cracking the joints of his fingers. "I don't know what you want with mo," he said, huskily and resentfully. "What do I caro about that man's daugh-' torr no iimn t respect other men's daughters." A spot of red flashed out on his pallid cheeks. "I tell you ho deserved to die. I guess It's mighty lino for you to Bit there nnd coax tho story out of me. I don't know you, Mr. Arrol. You aro still moro or less under suspicion, I surmise, of having hnd a hand In the old man's death, nnd you'd bo more than human if you didn't fasten tho guilt on some other likely person If you got tho chance. You sec, appearances were dead against me. I'vo got hold of these plans, as you seo. I wish," ho went on bitterly, "I'd put "cm in tho fire. Huron could put tho rope round my neck If I thwarted him. You had a. close call, I remember, and I should bo In a worse plight, for you see that I had a private grudgo against tho old man." Ho knitted his brows nnd seemed to be struggling hard to see his way. "No, Huron has kept faith with me nil theso years. I can't bo of nny use to you, Mr. Arrol." "You're a coward I" Martin expected to see tho man leap from his chair as ho said that, but ho sat unmoved, looking blankly beforo him. "If you aro Innocent, why don't you challenge them to do their worst7 What was your grudgo against Admiral Plessey?" "I guess that's no concern of yours." Martin rose nnd paced the room, pnlo with anger. He was thinking rapidly. After nil, he had gained something from his visit tho man had denied Mrs. Ples sey's statement that her husband had died In dishonorable circumstances. The Tvoman had tried to bluff him. Bho had perhaps private reasons of her own for humoring Huron, but It was not In his power to hold tho daughter as n hostage e.11. Iia. il.nJ .,!... , IbI..

Then ho looked at Derove and took up his hut, "Very well, my friend," he Bald, men nclngly; "you have- told me that Admiral Plessey parted with thoso plans In no discreditable, way. That's' all I wanted to know. I shall return to England by the next boat nnd inform tho police that these plans have been in your possession approximately from the date of his mur der. Don't think yourself snfe In Amer ica. That sort .of. thing Is provided, for In the extradition treaty. Perhaps before I leavo Now York you may find it safer to be on my side than Huron's." Ho moved toward tho door. CHAPTER XXIII. MARTIN flung out of tho flat beforo the frightened man could Intercept him and slammed the door behind him. If Derovo wns not actually Admiral Plessey'a murderer he certainly knew who was, and with the grip of the law at his throat he would speak. Martin v?as In a dangerous humor. Ho wanted to fire the mine whatever might be the consequences. It had been hla original purpose, ho remembered, to have ob tained from Dereve tho originals of tho plans nnd to havo destroyed them as the only proofs of the admiral's treason. But ho believed Mrs. Plessey'a story no longer. Dereve, who had no love for the dead man, had admitted that the cir cumstances of his death wero In no way discreditable to him. Whatever reputa tion suffered from an elucidation of this mystery It would not be Admiral Pies sey's. His hands thrust deep Into the pockets of his raincoat, Martin Arrol strode rapidly down Sth avenue, puzzled and angry. He had been tricked by a woman fooled by Mrs. Plessey for tho second time in his mo, una nrst time she had caused him to sacrifice his good name and his career; now she had beguiled him Into sacrificing what was dearer to him than either hla girl. Martin clenched his teeth. He was grate ful to that poltroon Dereve at least for clearing away the cloud from his old chief's name. Maud, whatever she might hereafter learn about her mother, had no need to blush for her father. True. Derevo had referred to him as a scoundrel, and suggested that he had be haved badly In some other business. Well, he had never supposed the admiral to have been Immaculate. He remembered to have heard It said that his youth was more than commonly wild. Dereve had perhaps some very good reason for hating him, as he alleged. That was no excuse for his conniving at bis murder and leav ing tha shadow of the crime to fall on an Innocent man. It was unfortunate, indeed, reflected Martin as ho tramped on along the rain swept streets of New York, that the man he was bound to expose snould b the brother of his own partner. Bustace De reve. he was convinced, knew nothing of his brother's connection With the Plessey case. It would be. hard lines on hlro, hard lines, too, on Monty. He wondered If the girl's advertisement had been suceasaful If Utud bad walked into the trap they had Wt for bar. Monty would think this a. poor return for her help. Well. It was all Derava'a fault. Why wouldn't he pak? Hither baeausa he was tha actual murderer or out of loy alty to Huron. Huron might be the murderer. Again aud attain tbat possibility had ' suggest d Itself to hi in; but it would bo the mur derer's place to orlnge. not to command. Then ho toppad dead In the middle of Union Square Mrs. PUaatey bad mur dered bar husband Ho saw It all now. Huron knew and bald that pistol at bar bead. Derevo perhaps knew, but was in some way an accomplice and was bound to allance by Huron alto. j Whatnot tbis theory was ttiTtxt a I By EDMUND B. D'AUVERGNE Author of "Her Husbands Widow," Etc, altered through the intervention whether Mrs. Wesseys story was true, Huron, If he knew the facts, was nble to blast the reputation Of one or other of the girl's parents. And Huron hnd the whip-hand of Derovo also. Martin won dered whether the blackmailer already know of his Visit to 71st street nnd What he would mnke of It Meanwhile he, Mnr tlft, had wasted hla time In coming to America Dereve would not speak for fear of Incriminating himself, nnd if ho did It would only bo to denbunce Maud's mother. No, nil that could be done was to seek out Maud nnd marry her and snap their fingers In Huron's face. Sho might refuse she certainly would rcfuao at first. She would fear for her mother. But If he, Arrol, possessed proofs of her mother's- guilt he might pretend to playtHurOn'a game threaten to expose her unless sno withdrew her opposition to his marriage with Maud and so neutralize the other man's threats. It would be a game, of course, in which Huron would have tho advantage, for ho wouia do capauie of executing his threat, whereas tho other player would bo mere ly uiuning. , He resolved to return to England by the next moll. Neither Huron nor Mrs. Plessey could know positively what De revo had told him. Ho would scare them badly. When he nrrived at hla iin(t n.? accosted him and nsked him with a strong Irish accent If he was Mr. Arrol. Answer ing yes, ho was told that someone had just rung him up on tho telephone. Ho hurried Into tho cabinet which the boy had Indicated and placed the re ceiver to his ear. "Hulioh!" he cried. "Do you want Mr. Arrol? I'm ho." Somehow he cxpoctcd to hear Huron's voice, but tho reply came In Derevo's rather melodious tones. "I'm Dereve. I havo been thinking over what passed between us this aftef noon. Perhaps I may do something for you, after all. Can you give mo a week to think it over?" "No. I return to England by tho next mall and shall hand tho papers over to Scotland Yard." "I guess you'ro blurting. Wo aro good at that on this side." But It seemed to tho listener that tho speaker's voice was shaky. There was a pause, and Martin hnlf-fanclcd that a whispered conversa tion wns going on at tho other end. Ills suspicions were confirmed when Derovo continued: "Excuse my breaking off; my servant camo Into the room . nnd I couldn't discuss these things within his henrlng. Will you come up and see me agnln tonight let us say midnight? I am dining with some folks nnd may not bo back sooner. I guess we will fix up a settlement" "Agreed," said Martin. "I will come at 12; but If nothing Is arranged I shall open fire. Good-by." Ho replaced the receiver and walked to ward the door. It suddenly occurred to him that he had not mentioned his New York nddress to Derevo. He wondered if Huron had tracked him and then called on Dereve, and that tho proposed negotia tions were the upshot of their Interview. It was unpleasant to feel that he was being shadowed, but It was not easy to seo what real harm his cnemv could do him. Possibly by this tlmo Derevo had realized that it would pay him better to take sides with Arrol than with Huron. Martin dined nt Deltnontcu-s. not so much because he appreciated good faro as because ho liked lively surroundings. New York on a wet Sunday evening Is a. de pressing place. Martin looked in at two or three so-called cafes, and feeling, as ho himself put It "bored stiff," returned to his hotel to write somo letters. His llrst was to Monty Dereve, to thank her for the help she had promised to render In tracking Maud. He had written a sheet when he remembered his brother's words, Richard had hinted that Monty was In terested in him, Martin, and that It would do no good 'to express too w;arm a regard for tho girl for whom hb was Invoking her good ofllces. Richard's theory seemed a little far-fetched, but where Maud was concerned ho could afford to tnko no risks. Ho toro up what ho had written, and began again: "Dear Miss Dereve Just a few lines to tell you that I havo arrived In your native land and havo seen your father, who received mo most Martin paused, smiled Ironically, and went on most cordially. "I had only n very short Interview with him, but shall call on him again tonight. Plen.se inform your uncle of this. I wonder It you havo received any reply to. the. advertisement you so kindly Inserted on our friend's behalf? Has sho turned up yet? I'm sure you will do everything In your power for her, . "Yours very sincerely, "MARTIN ARROL." Ho posted this letter, together with a card to Richard, informing him that he would write later and Imploring him to cable news of Maud, Then he glanced nt his watch and-took an uptown car. Tho rain had cleared the streets of people, and at that late hour West 71st street looked gloomy and deserted. As Martin mounted 'the steps of the apart ment houso a tall man stepped out of tho shadow. -Martla was surprised to recognize Dereve. ' "The Janitor's gone to bed," he ex plained in a husky voice, "so I Just waited around to take you up In the ele vutor. No' sort of a night, Is It?" Martin nnswered curtly nnd stepped Into tho elevator. .They flew up to the fifth floor. Dereve threw open the gates, which clanged behind them as he opened tho door of hla flat "Step right In," he said. "There's no one but my servant in the flat, so we can havo a straight talk. Arrol walked along the dark narrow passage till a noise made him turn his head. Dereve was covering him with a revolver. Martin stood still, but stared at him dcflnantly and contemptuously, "You fool," he said, "what havo you to gain by this blood-and-thunder nonsense? There Is nothing on me of the least value to you. Do you propose to murder me? If so, for what end?" The next Instant Martin felt himself jerked backward. As he threw out his arms to save himself a heavy garment probably an overcoat was thrown over his face, blinding him and sagging; him, He felt that Dereve was pressing on him In front while some other man held his arms from behind. Struggling desper ately, resisting Inch by Inch, he was forced backwards. Suddenly the pressure from behind was withdrawn. He fell backwards prone on the floor, and imme diately heard the slamming of a door. CHAPTER XXtV. THE sight of Martin's handwriting on the letter addressed to Monty roused a strange tumult of emotions in Maud Plessev. It seemed lncr)!htA thai. . 'should be In communication with Miss Dereve. At times she almost convinced herself that her eyes had played her false, that It was only because her mind was so filled with the thought of Martin Arrol that a slight resemblance in the willing jiau mane ner Jump to tola con clusion. But the letter bore an American stamp and the New York postmark, and his brother's man had told her that Arrol was In America. In any case how could sbe have made aueb a mistake? She had received only one letter from Martin, but that she had read and reread so often that she knew every stroke, every twist Of hla rather sprawling and loosely formed letters by heart But what ob earth wag he doing, writ log to tyooty Dereve T She bad never so much as hoard him mention her name be fore. Than It struck Maud that he had hardly spoken to her of a single one of hla old acquaintances. But a girl of n oould hardly be an acquaintance of IS yearn ago, A fierce gust of uorea. soiUng jealousy swept over Maud. She had uot expected Martin to console ann ul so soon. (OONTmueB tomojibow.
