Yet the man is virtually a prisoner on the country estate of her father, who is trying to solve a most complicated and baffling mystery which concerns them all. For the man is suspected of a murderous attack on the girls blind father. Moreover, he is apparently connected with a previous murder. And, finally, he has just taken part in a midnight encounter in the girls home in which a relative has been shot to death. In addition the man is using an assumed name and will not tell who he is or what is his purpose. But the girl who is a nice girl knows with loves prescience that the man is worthy and dares to put her faith to the test.

Gabriel Warden capitalist, railroad director, owner of mines and timber at lands, at twenty a one of the predominant forty-eigmen of the Northwest coast paced with quick, uneveD steps the great d living room of his home Just above Seattle on Puget sound. Twice within ten minutes he hud used the telephone in the hall to receive the same reply that the train from Vancouver, for which he had inquired, had eome in and that the passengers had left the station. It was net like Gabriel Warden to show nervousness of any sort ; Kondo, the Japanese doorman, who therefore had found something strange In his telephoning, watched him through the portieres whieh shut oft the living room from the hall. Warden turned suddenly and pressed the bell to call a servant. Kondo entered the room ; he noticed then that Wardens hand, which was still holding the watch before him, was shaking. A young man vho may, or may not, give a name, will ask for me in a few moments. He will say he called by appointment Take him at once to my smoking room, and I will see him there. I am going to Mrs. Wardens room now. He went up the stairs, Kondo noticed, still absently holding his watch in his hand. Warden controlled his nervousness before entering ids wifes room. She talked with him casually for a moment or so before she even sent away her maid. When they were alone, she suddenly saw that he had come to her to discuss some serious subject. Cora, he said, when he had closed the door after the maid. I want your advice on a business question. She was business question! He was one of greatly surprised. those men who believe ail business matters should be kept from their wives. I mean it came to me through some business discoveries.

Cora, he said, nhat would you have me do If you knew I had found out that a young man a man who, four or five years ago, had as much to live for as any man might had been outraged in every right by men who re my friends? Would you have me fight the outfit for him? Or would yon have me lie down?" She stared at him with only pride then; she was proud of his strength, of Lis ability to fight, of the power he knew he possessed to force his Why, you way against opposition. would fight them!"

"Should that keep me from going in? She hesitated. He went on: "Would you have me afraid to do a thing that ought to be done, Cora? No, she said ; I would not." All right, then. Thats all I had to know now. The young man is coming to see me tonight, Cora. Probably he's downstairs. Ill tell you all 1 can after Ive talked with him. He went directly downstairs; ns he passed through the hall, the telephone bell rang. Warden himself answered it. Kondo overheard Wardens end of the conversation. Apparently the other person wished to see Warden at once. Warden finished, All right; Ill come and get you. Walt for me there. Then he hung up. Turning to Kondo, he ordered his car. Kondo transmitted the order and brought Wardens coat and cap; then Kondo opened the house door for him and the door of the limousine, whieli had been brought under the The chauffeur was Patrick Corboy, a young Irishman who had been in Warden's employ for more than five years; his faithfulness to Cor-ho.Warden was never questioned. drove to the place Warden had As they stopped, a young directed.
