Bancroft's hand went te hi brew,

"Ne bequeste. Even Mrs. Heme,
who has been housekeeping since I was
n baby, received nothing. All mine
te riue te lieu with, if I wnnt te!"
Bitterness, eh? The wine had rent
a corner of the reserve. The boy waa
uinvr in me aeuir 30 much tee bet
ter. In New Yerk, with this bitterness
which was bred of loneliness, and n
thousand, temptutiens nt his elbow.
Ne debts te pay!
"Well, what de you think of It?"
asked Bancroft.
"De you want the truth; or, rather,
de you want my honest opinion?"
"Yes.'
"Well, then, by the way he brought
you up and by. the way he flings this
fortune nt your feet, I should say that
he expected it te destroy you. I'll go
further. Supposing you're net Silas
Bancroft a beii. What would be mere
exquisite thnn te brin you up mere or
less like a pauper and then te destroy
you with tee much money?"
"Ne; that won't de nt all. I was
born In this village; net the least mys
tery en that side. The myBtery is why
I was brought up like a pauper (te
quote you) and given all this money In
the end. Thnt's the real problem."
' It waa merely a supposition, Yeu
asked me what I thought." Somewhere
a clock beat out tbe hour. "Nine? I

"Oh, I have a car at the curb."
The adventurer rose. "Yeu won't

"Ne."

it iHiKHlblc for me te survive the ap

"but It Is still ruining hard."
"Take along an umbrella. Yeu can
lenve it nt the hotel."
"You'll trust me. then, with a bum bum bum
bcrshoet? "Take your pick. There never was
an umbrella in this house worth mere
than fifty cente."
"All right, since you are willing te
risk It. But bear In mind my advice
about clearing out for a few months.
There's no place like New Yerk te hide
in. If you come te New Yerk, leek me
up at the Bolivian Emerald Company's
offices."
"I will," premised Bancroft care
lessly. The adventurer went out, nnd the
deer waa closed quickly upon hit heels.
Ne word of thanks for the hospitality,
no offer of the hand; but Bancroft's
thoughts were already busy elsewhere,

thcre nny connection between the" au

this unknown man hnd once owned all

But why were they here if his father
had paid Kennedy in full? Well, he
bad tbe publisher h naiue and address;
and probably Snell would knew some
