When I finally drew the covers over me It was to lie and speculate upon the events of the night In connection with the history of the few weeks I had spent at Glenarm. Larry had suggested In New York that Pickering waa playing some deep game, and I, myself, could not accept Pickering's statement that my grandfather's large fortune had proved to be a myth. If Pickering had not stolen or dissipated It. where was It concealed? Morgan was undoubtedly looking for something of value or he would not risk his life In the business; and It was quite poralble that he waa employed by Pickering to search for hidden property. This Idea took strong hold of me. the more readily, I fear, since I had alwaye been axious to see evil in Pickering. There was, to lie sure, the unknown alternative heir, but. neither she nor Sister Theresa was, I imagined, n person capable of hiring an assassin to kill me. On reflection I dismissed the idea to the county authorities, of and 1 never regretted that resolution. Hie seat of Wabana county was 20 miles away, the processes of law were unfamiliar, and I wished to avoid publicity. Morgan might, of course, have been easily disposed of by an appeal to the Anntandale constable, but now that I suspected Pickering of treachery the caretakers importance dwindled. I had wanted nil my life for a chance at Arthur ldckerlng. and In this affair I hoped to draw him Into the open and settle with him. I slept presently but woke at my usual hour, and after a tub felt ready for another day. Hates served me. as usual, a breakfa.it that gave a fair aspect to the mornim:.
