of the will llo advises hei to rry on the ceptlon de- chapter xiv- two losses when sylvia joined tony in the ihining hispanasuiza car below his impatient and even angry protests over her delay fell on deaf ears at that moment she felt really hopeful f more hopeful than she hail felt after her necessarily short talk with john christopher for florrie before they aited up stairs had assured her again that she would find a way to okain possess ion of that will it was all in her in terest to do that sylvia realised its going to give him to me miss sylvia dont you sec florrie said thats all 1 care about i love him hes a crook yes but that doesnt make me love him any the less i knew it from the start ill go crook too with him if need be so lonjr as ties mine thats all 1 want whether he jiates me or not however he treats me just to know that hes mine sitting beside tony in the car syl via was still shaken and startled by that amazing outburst- it made her understand for the first time the in tensity with which some women can love it almost made her envious of florrie who at least had been pro mised marriage and must have had some measure of her love returned with herself how different syl via realised that suddenly and acute ly as the car carried tony and her helf along the smooth boulevard to wards the hank for tony his com plaints assuaged by sylvias apolo gies gestured over the wheel to wards the entrance to the kitzplage hotel fellowes is certainly making the running strong with old darlingfords daughter he chuckled and sylvia following the direction of his gcsiturc saw first the warm tint of that titian hair glorious cor onal to an oval face of such lively carefree loveliness as made her heart ache made her feel something of that tempestuous passion which had throb bed in florries voice and smoulder ed in her eyes john christopher smiling and care free loo was leaning so close to that lovely face that sylva held her breath closed her eyes felt as if she were enduring the moat terrible tor ments when she opened her eyes again the car had swung round a corner was almost at the doors of the bank were tony had established an account of her now she understood how florrie felt about him without florris hope fulness what a tragedy life was what a torturechamber to those who jovcd sylvia found herself inside the bank with tony who had asked for the manager it was an english bank and the whole atmosphere of it made sylvia feel at home for the moment she tried to forget about him about everything but the busi ness which had brought her here- they were not of course kept wait ing long she was one of the banks important clients and a smiling clerk quickly arrived to bow her and her companion into the private office here the manager bowed to her too found her a comfortable chair talk ed about the weather hoped that she was enjoying her stay in monte he was one of the pleasant placid men rather like mr muir at the malchestcr palace hotel sylvia had thought when she first met him and thought again now sitting opposite to him he little knew she told her self as she talked to him what terribly important crisis in her life in his hands v it was of course tony who sud denly referred to this in a veiled way after some minutes of talk by the way he interrupted youve a packet of mine deposited with your bank theres a docu- i menl in it which miss darnley rather anxiety could anything more fortunate possibly have happened breathless sylvia eyed him with a growing sense of personal triumph the waiting game was over it was not he but the herself who would bring it to an unexpectedly definite end no need now to snatch the will from tony who was looking across at john christopher with just as much amaze ment as herself and not with as much pleasure tony and the will were here and could not escape once she had spoken meantime it was the bankman ager who spoke first in his pleasant but businesslike voice miss darnley i suppose i must apologise for bringing mr fellowes he was saying gesturing a wholly un necessary introduction i think you do know each other and of course mr- mallison that question need not be asked mr fellowes has just call ed to sec me about some news from shanghai which im afraid is of a rather disturbing nature news from shanghai it was tony who intervened on a note of wonderment not entirely free from alarm at well worse luck yes mallison john christopher moved forward a little but of course it doesnt affect you unless you happen to have invested any of your hard earned savings in the anglochinese trading and fin ance corporaton of shanghai good heavens man he added us tony showed signs of frantic you dont mean to say exquisite quality japak gresm fresh from the gardens what does your handwriting reveal geo st clair grapbo analyst ad rights reserved john christopher about her lov for himself needs to see could i trouble you so much no trouble whatever the man ager took the little receipt slip which tony had passed across and rose to his feci with alacrity just a mom ent mr mallison anil ill be back with the packet he relumed indeed almost immed iately carrying a big and bulging en velope heavily scaled with black wax stamped by the banks crest excus ing himself for the moment the man ager went out again leaving sylvia alone with tony who had immediate ly begun to break the seals the en velope contained a number of folded papers- which he held up for a mom- ment in a bunch chuckling softly all of them worth money he said significantly the indiscretions of other people sweetheart which become a source of income to me when occasion demands that my pocket should be filled remarkable how willingly people will pay to pre vent their past sins from becoming known it did not of course surprise her that blackmail was among his accom plishments her only surprise lay in the fact that this man capable only of crookedness and such infinite cruelty as that of battening on peo ples fear could have inspired a girl like florrie with such an allforgiving love as she clearly felt for him sylvia meanwhile saw that he was holding out in front of her one paper taken from the others she did not attempt to read it through it suf ficed that she saw it to be dated only a few months since to be the last will and testimony of luke anthony mas- singham of shanghai china and that the name of john christopher fellowes recurred contniually in it as obviously the person whom its con tents most concerned here in front of her was evidence that meant everything to john chris topher even though it disinherited her- if only she dared tell the bank- manager when he came back to them insist on his examining and discover ing for himself the real character of this document which his bank had been guarding for tony tell him the whole story whatever the conse quences to herself and when while this thought came to her the door opened behind tony and her admitting the bankmanager himself she was almost on the point of snatching that allimportant docu ment from tonys hands but she was held motionless by surprise be cause the manager was not now a- lonc following him into the room came the- one person most concerned at this moment john christopher youre going to be hit too hit tony almost choked why whats wrong with the cor poration fellowes looks as if a very good deals wrong with it john christopher shrugged as you know mallison im one of the directors and im over here in europe mostly on the cor porations affairs ive just had this cable from shanghai seems to speak for itself sylvia mystified by all this talk read as tony was doing the cable gram john christopher had laid on the table it said afraid anglochinese collapse in evitable position hopeless it was only then that sylvia real ised how much this message affected herself for this was the financial syndicate she suddenly remembered the lawyer in london had mentioned to her as the one in which her uncles eightythousand pounds was invested and this cable meant then in plain language that the fortune no longer existed in a flash sylvia realised the im mense difference this cablegram meant to her if her uncles monef was being swept away in financial disaster the whole situation was changed it took away the black mailing clutches of paula and tony that stolen will which the latter still held in his hand with other blackmailing documents was not worth the paper on which it was written he could not hold it aganist her any longer his cords of con spiracy were cut away from her giv ing her unexpected freedom she felt like laughing outright tears of intense relief misting her eyes for a moment to be continued editors note more and more readers are taking advantage of the authors

it is one of the most difficult things in the world to try and extend advice to young people who are in love and if the advice is negative that is opposed to their feelings at the moment so much the worse so that the case 1 am going to quote in this article is particularly timely some six months ago a young lady living in ontario sent me a rather long specimen of the writing of the man she was very friendly with a man moreover who had asked her to marry him she was fond of him in many ways and really seriously considering ac cepting his proposal- but there were certain disquieting points in connect ion with him that didnt quite please her she couldnt for instance get very much information from him as to his past he was somewhat vague and to all her natural enquiries as to his family and so on he was non committal all this gave her cause to pause and she decided to ask my advice as to his suitability and stated defin itely that she would act entirely on my advice her friend by the way was a man about 36 and her own age was 23 this was a very serious situation indeed for my correspondent show ed in her own handwriting that she had a very cultured mind and- a gen crous rather idealistic nature however her friends writing was very obvious there were definite indications not onlv of deceitfulness but of outright dishonesty he was a man who could be very charming but there was a distinct sensual streak in him 1 advised my correspondent to give him up it was a hard thing to ask but my honest opinion was that he was not only her type but that her future with him would be very un happy 1 heard nothing more from my cor respondent for a while but just re cently 1 received word from her and she told me that on receiving my let ter and recalling her own doubts about her friend she had given him up- she had since discovered that the man had been married and his wife was jiving in the united states he had not been divorced i need hardly state that she was grateful for the advice that had en abled her to avoid an embarrassing situation if not worse the best thing to do with advice when it is given by an unbiassed per son as for example a handwrtmg expert is to take it in the spirit in which it is given it s the simplest matter in the world to check any statements made with your own knowledge of your friend and it gives you definite points to watch out for it is up to you whether you will attempt to effect a change in the habits or characteristics of your friend or wheher the traits revealed are such that you should sever the association altogether and in this connection it is worthy of note that young people in love are more amenable to suggestions as to when does a miss become when she gets off hit caleteeth drwonei5eowder sold tho world over dri
