Mr. Shaw looked at me steadily. Ills eyes were the kind that seem to see all and reveal nothing. I felt a hot spark of defiance rising In my own "And Indeed it Is too had," he said coolly, "that the trip should not be more to Miss Harding's liking." The rough edges of his Scotch burr had been smoothed down by much wandering, but you knew at once on which side of the Solway he had seen the light. "It is not a question of my liking," I retorted, trying to preserve an unmoved and lofty demeanor, though my heart was beating rather quickly at finding myself actually crossing swords with the redoubtable adventurer, this man who had often faced death, I could not refuse to believe, as steadily as he was facing me now.

Yon will understand then that I had nothing to do with organizing It, but was merely to do my best to carry It through to success." "I have already heard a version of the matter from Mr. Vane." "And you think, he Is in the conspiracy, too?" "Certainly not," I replied hastily. "1 mean of course, I know he told me exactly what he believes himself." Then I suppose you consider that he was Inveigled, too?" "I am not required to consider Mr, Vane's status at all." I replied with dignity. "It Is my aunt whom I wish to protect."
