Jarreman met the detective shrewd
gasa unflinchingly.
"Well, I suppose your motives arc
no concern of mm, sum wegrere enig
mitlcallv. "Suppose, I should run
across tnl girl, what tle you want me
co d witn ner?" .
".lust notify me of her addre." re
piled .larreman. "And na 'regards
cantden, i want every faet you ran un
earth, whether It aeema te have any
direct bearing en the rase or net. 'I
shall be greatly disappointed,." he add
ed. "If your retime te take tin the rase."
"Oh, I will take it up," said Megrnve
Indifferently. "This sort of thing Is
my profession. But if I come te the
conclusion that there is no reasonable
prospect of succea, I shall withdraw."
CUmhH ' Vltdter
High up In the stat'ely house in Cor
nish terrace wis a small and severely
hnslneaallkc room te which visitor!
rarely penetrated. .It held a roll-ten
desk, a number of filing cabinets, nnd,
built into the wall, two large safes.
Theed, fresh from his Interview with
Lord Eflucester, wa ushered up te this
little sanctum by a silent-footed East
ern servant. Claudlne looked up nt
hli entry and smiled with n languid
friendliness which vanished the moment
they were left alone.
"Something unpleasant must have
happened for you te make such nn ur
gent matter of seeing me," she said
sharply. "It's the Jarreman stunt, of
course?"
Theed refused te be hurried.
"There Is absolutely no need for
nlnrm," he insisted. "Jt Is simply that
I have a premonition that Lord Douces Deuces
tcr will drop in te see you seen pos
sibly tonight. He called en mc this
morning."
"Let me see the girl. Nndia, was
working for his Ben-,'Htrannck, wasn't
she?" inquired Clnudlnc impatiently.
"Cnn't they find another tjplst, or
what Is It?"
"As te that I can't any," returned
Theed with a deliberation which he
knew Claudlne must find maddening.
"I should say that the typewriting
agency probably sent n substltutu who
has proved herself quite efficient. Ne,
Lord Oeucester's visit had another mo
tive. "It seems that Xadla told Strannck
what had been- disclosed te her about
her parentage and that he nassed It nn
-te his father."
"Which leeks," cut in Claudlne, "ns
if Wrnnuck were in love with the girl
and was afraid there would be trouble
from his parents if he married her."
"I quite agree, quite," assented
Theed ponderously. "But let us leave
that supposition for the moment. I.erd
Deucester seemed only concerned with
obtaining my assurance that Xadla
really Is vhiit,elic has been told slip is
nnmcly, Henry .larreman's daugh
ter." "Why should he doubt it?" rapped
out Claudlne.
Theed waved his fnt hands in what
he believed te be n foreign gesture.
"Kxaetly what I asked myself, dear
lady. Why should he doubt it? There
is, or course, a possibility that Xadla
resembles her mother; but It would
have te be an amazing likeness te take
Lord Deuccster's memory bnck ever
twenty years. Ne; If he doubts, it is
because of some incident of which
neither he nor the slrl have leld me
and which 1 could net have foreseen!"
"If he doubts," repeated Claudlne
after a moment's pause. "You're net
sure, then?"
"Xe, I am net sure," auvuered
Theed. "but I should like te be."
"Why should you think that Dou Deu
cester will come te see me?" asked
Claudlne.
"It la obvious, surely. The girl has
been dvclnred tn be Tnmunnn's daugh
ter; Deucester knows Hint you arc .lar .lar
eoman's wife. He will wonder whether
ou, tee. accept Xadla ns jour child,
und after he has wondered a little lie
will come here nnd try te find out."
Clnudlnc nodded.
"What exactly de jeu want mc te
de? ' slie asked.
Theed rose.
"Try te discover what his attitude
Is," he said. "If he docs net believe
Xndla te be your daughter,' does he rec
ognize her as any one else's? If nn.
hew has he recognized her, and what is
he going te de about it?"
Again Claudlne nodded.
"It will be difficult,1' she said, half
te herself.
"I de net mind admitting it Is be
yond my power," sold Theed. "That
Is why I leavelt in your hands."
Claudlne, left alone, brooded for a
long moment. Then she locked her desk
and betook herself te her bedroom,'
where she rested before the complicated
toilet of the evening.
Xever had she looked se arresting as
when that evening she greeted her
guests. Her dress an inspiration from
Vienna was the color of an iris seen
through a mist of geld. Acress her
forehead a nnrrew band of sapphires
reflected the queer golden glow of her
skin.
"Ah, Mrs. Crnync, hew .delightful te
see you once mere!" Claudlne smiled
and extended her hand. Lord Dou Deu
cestcr bent ever it, chattered lightly
with her for a moment or two, then
pnssed into the crcnt room where
"Mn'mselle X," lic-p colorless hei-Pr.
age within reach, sat Inscrutable nt the
gaming tnble, watching, counting, her
ejes pine emu in ncr velvet lilllbK.
Claudlne Vamps a Lord
Claudlne dallied a little; then, pick
ing up nu enormous fnn of purple
feathers, fche drifted In the wake of her
most impertnut guest,
"Yeu are net plajlng, I.erd Dou Deu
cester?" Deucestcr turned from his contem
plation of the pile of bnnknetcs.
"I'm a pauper already, dear lady a
pauper."
"Oh, I hope net!" Claudlne'a mag
nlficcut ejes flushed upon him nnd
away again. She made n meu-ment to
ward n secluded corner and he fol
lowed her.
"I de hone net." she repeated ns tliev
.established thcinsclvcs in deep chnlrs
sec wen imck in tun snniiew of palms.
"I'm In desperate straits myself, and
you've nlwaja been such a friend in
need."
Their glances met and held. Then
Lord Deucestcr smiled faintly ns if he
were amused.
"If I bave been of any assistance te
you In the past," he murmured, "you
bave assisted me iu return most ably
and thoroughly."
Ciaudlne unfurled her fan.
"By my silence," she purred.
"Exactly." acquiesced Deucester.
He was still smiling.
"Silence doesn't deteriorate In value,
does it?" Claudlne'a laugh was like
honey. "Dear Lord Deucestcr, jeu
speak as it it were no lenier worth-
buying."
Deucester s smile deepened.
"I very much doubt whether it Is,"
he returned amiably.
Claudlne's breath enme n 111 (In mn
