To Arthur Morris. John. John Burt sprang to his feet, hurling the chair backward with a crash. He strode forward, his eyes blazing with fury and his features convulsed writh passion. Its a lie, Blake its a lie, and you know Its a lie! He towered above his astonished friend. His flrgers were clenched and his lips twitched. Turning abruptly, he walked across the room with his hands pressed over his forehead. For a moment he stood silent, then abruptly turned to Blake with his hands - I'lysses e wottnd? The words of Peter Burt came back to him.: "It is written In God's word If thou faint In the dav of adversity thy strength is small, for a just man fallcth seven times and riseth up Had he fallen seven times? again!'

He had perfected his plans, and after feecuring apartments in I.elpzlger Strasse set about their execution. He was to shrewd to announce his arrival by a tetter to Jessie, having good reason to suspect that It would meet the same reception as had the others. He retained a capable valet and commissioned him to obtain Information concerning Miss Carden's daily and weekly routine. It rained the following day, and Morris valet brought word that Miss Carden would not venture 5Wt In the storm. His master was pleased to learn that Miss Carden was in the habit of going out alone, and that if the weather permitted, she proposed to visit Count Raczynakl's gallery pn the morrow. The famous Raczynskl gallery la on the Exercierplatz, outside the Braden-bur- g gate, srd contains a splendid collection of modern German paintings. The day" dawned bright and warm after the storm, and Morris was In fine spirits when he .stepped Into his carriage and rode down the avenue. He, entered the gallery and roamed through the balls to make sure Jesstg. had not arrived. He then stood near -a the entrance and waited- -i was He rewarded.

I'll marry her tf 1 - Perhaps It . Is a lie. Let us hope so, John. For momonts no word was ipoken. John Burt stood by an opened window, with his back to his friend, and gazed out into the darkness. Tell me about It, Jim, be said, breaking the aliened. Blake related the details of his introduction to Arthur Morris and told of the night spent In the latter's apartment He repeated the conversation as nearly as he could recall it John abruptly changed the subject and questioned Blake about his Interview with Peter Burt, and smiled quietly wnen he related his experience with the old man. He was not displeased that Blake had been forced to reveal his secret I have anticipated his advice about going to New York, said John. My plana are made, and If You are willing, we will make New York the future headquarters of James Blake & Company, with the San Francisco establishment a branch house. Think It over, Jim, and let me know your decision as soon as possible. Ive thought It over, said Blake. Tat ready to go to New York the minute you say so." "Very well, well go this month, said John Burt It was long past midnight when Blake drove away and' left John Burt to the harrowing society of his thoughts. For hours he sat before the portrait of Jessie Carden. He recalled the day when she had laughingly placed the cherished .'tintype In his hand. And now she was in Paris, by the grace and under the bounty of Arthur Morris the one - man l all the world he hated. Its a lie an Infamous, damnable lie!" he repeated as he paced up and down the room. It U not ao It shall not be so! But the black clouds of doubt again obscured the rift made by vehement hope. What reason had he to doubt the statement made by Morris? Had not Morris wealth, Influence, social standing? Was not Jessie under obligations to him? And what of Jessie? What valid, lasting claim had he on Jessie Carden? A few words spoken under the tress of great excitement, a promise of her friendship and of her prayers nothing more. No word from him had come to her during long years. For all she knew era dead. What right had he to expect that kbe should play toe part !

Ten reporters and a hundred financiers have asked me that question, and I have refused to commit myself. What shall I tell then John? Well discuss that over dinner, laughed John. He gazed at Blake Do you know earnestly, and asked: If Miss Carden has returned? I have been unable to ascertain I haven't seen that, said Blake. anybody anybody who would know. I've been awfully busy, John. I know you have, returned John in his old, cordial manner. Have you secured a hut for me, Jim? I have fitted up a dream of an apartment for you, and have ordered your favorite dinner. The following day John Burt began hla New York career. s. Conan Doyle Rapid Worker.
