Her nature lay close to the surt'aie. and what might have been a sup-51‘- I‘icial wound to another would Irrr her to the core of her being. Sympa- thizing deeply with her, I approached her from behind and took her cheeks in my palms. “It is bound to come out all right, Clare,” I half Whispered. She freed her face by a slight for ward movement, and Uncle Abner, closing his eyes wearily, lay for the moment inert on the pillow. They seemed to be ignoring me in their silence, and unable to think of any- thing to do or say which might relieve ‘ the situation, I turned away and left them to themselves. LeDuc had got- ten upon his feet in my absence, and hat in hand, appeared to be waiting for me to go with him. The whole atmosphere of the place was offen- sive to me, and as I led him down the stairs and out into the open I filled my lungs to the uttermost, as a con- vict might who breathes the pure air of freedom after long confinement in a fetid cell. It was quite a while be- fore either of us saw fit to speak. At the end of the block he threw ”his cigar into the street. “The police -â€"you did not tell them about seeing your cousin have the key yesterday?” he said, half interrogatively, half as- sertively. I told him I had not. His ', next question was, “Why?" “Because of several reasons. First of all, they did not ask me; second. because I have no idea that Bruce is i guilty in this matter; and third, be- cause I did not care, under the cir- cumstances, to put his reputation in their hands. Also, I assumed that he would immediately acknowledge his possession of it and give an adequate .. ____.â€"vâ€"~ explanation.

Furthermore, I know I can relv upon you to suppress details, which although as yet unexplained. in .all probability ha1e no real bearing. ion the issues.” His reply came with- l out hesitation. “'l‘pm, you have known me for years ‘ 1nd 1ou know that even as a boy I ‘ 111'avs played fair. Now, I have no i nore use for a professional criminal ,.i1an I have for a mad dog or a veno- l nous serpent.

It is this: There is one more person, at least, who knews that Uncle Abner occasionally had considerable sums of money on hand, and to whom I imparted in a casual conversation the circumstance of this particular amount being in the house.

I care a great deal for her, respeCt her thoroughly and believe she is fond of we. I have incidentally told her about Uncle Abner and his strange ways, and one evening left my keys in :er apartments after having opened a bot-.le of wine wi‘h a cork- screw which i kept attached to my key ring. I? was several days later that I called her attention to in ' over- sight and received them back from her. While I trust her implicitly, yet she has a yellow maid who is inscrut- able to me nd who always seems to be hovering within earshot. To my mind it is not impossible that this maid was fr resaessrion of the key?- "No. But I do know this. 1 know that Richard Mackay is the business agent of the girl’s mistressâ€"Mrs. Dace, of the Arcadiaâ€"and that he sometimes calls upon her. And know- ing his reputation as I do, it has oc- curred to me that stranger things have happened than that this girl might be under his influence and re- veal secrets to him that she has be- come possessed of. I understand there is practically no limit to the man’s machinations.” LeDuc brought me to a sudden standstill. “Do you mean Richard Mackay, ‘Coughing Dick,’ the boodler and arch conspirator?” he cried, his hand gripping my arm like a trap.

Ruefully I continued my search for the fourth or fifth time as he sympathized with me, following his condolences with the remark that a pencil memorandum in his book would answer the same purpose. There- ‘fore I gave him the number orally and noted that he wrote it down correctly. Then with an apology and an excuse of urgent business he darted aboard a passing car with a farewell flirt of his hand. I went back to the house. Clare had left my uncle’s room and I heard her voice mingled with Bruce’s on the lawn below. Uncle Abner had arisen and was carefully examining his pa. .pers as he rearranged them in their customary order. He had been hurt but little, and now that his blood was circulating freely again and the stiff- CHAPTER XI. hos 'in’e ’ m .V' i 2' p 35: mere y to amount humor was 1 which he was almO'Et r of itztan 9'; .it inur- ”- ‘se; :1 w} of knom may they hold A -1: £1.51“ S._ C‘ night Know u 21!. we, a--- lives in the hollow of their hands and are prepare loodshed,” I returned somewhat icily.

As for Bruce, he seemed to have recovered} a good deal of his old-time assurance.~ But presently he turned away with a curt nod while she stood for a mo- ment watching him with a pathetic litlle clasping of her hands; then j turned and came hurriedly into the house. I infercepted her at the head of the stairs and signalled for her to come into my apartments. She did so, seating herself in a chair that I drew for her. “Well,” I said inquir- ingly. She shook her head. Sympatheticaliy I continued: “It is really too bad and I don’t understand lit either. Nobody in the world has<§ l a t i 1 1 more confidence in Bruce’s honesty than I have, and if he would only .speak I would believe him against a. ‘; host of circumstances. But there arei certain things which he as a man‘ should come forward and explain. He : did not produce the key and denied ; éever having had it, while I know iti iwas in his possession yesterday.

We have been talking that same matter over and he says he had no key in his side coat pocket and never carries one there. I know that I never gave him mine, and its dis- appearance at this time can be noth- ing more than a strange coincidence. He also denies that he ever at any time had possession of my key, and I am satisfied that he did not, for the rnacnn that If he had had I ShOllld MALLâ€"AV am satisfied that he did not, for the“ reason that if he had had I should’ have missed it. I don’t care a snap! 'What anybody thinks or says; I kDOW‘ Bruce is as puzzled over your charge! that he had it as you seem to be over his denial.” Her mouth set defiantly and I knew she would defend him to the last ditch should 1 attack him, which, of course, I had not the re- motest idea of doing. Instead, I be- came even more mollifying, hoping to reason him out of his stubbornness through argument advanced to her. “I know that his denial proves noth- ing any more than does the fact of his going broke on ’Change, or his making that silly remark that he was going to get $10,000 some way.

But the combination of all these things places him in a position before LeDuc which I regret to see him occupy.
