"?JH. l suppose 1 must bumor you!"
Mid the colonel, unwillingly consenting.
"But It's Irregular, and If anything
should go wrong you must bear
the eonseouencea."
"I iMume nil responsibility," said
Mr. Mltchel.
"Then I'll give the necessary orders
to the matron," said the colonel, walking
off.
Mr. Mltchel went to Lilian and spoko
to her gently, advising her to remain
In the building with her baby, to make
no effort to get away and to trust to
" him to do hla utmost In her behalf. lie
promised to see her again soon, and ho
went away, satisfied that lie had made
the heat tmn(r*ninnt poaalhlo nniloi1 J
the peculiar circumstances.
Leaving the building, lie crossed over
to Fifth avenue and walked rapidly
op that thoroughfare. He walked because
be wished to reflect. He found
the problem which engaged his mind
assuming a more complicated form
than ever. lie could readily sec how
the knowledge which now was his
would have more than convinced Mr.
Barnes of the correctness of his suspicions
against young Mora. The detective
would have argued that the
' 'onoasw who hnd quarrcletl wltll Ills fa* I
tber and had abandoned his own
etil)d would scarcely have hesitated to
kill his father under the fear of being
disinherited. But for the present Mr.
Mltchel dismissed that side of the subject
from his thoughts. The supposi
iron inai mora was toe murderer left
much to be explained In connection
with the mysterious killing of Slippery
Sum and the finding of the will
In the young crook's pocket. Besides,
he could not reconcile Mora's guilt
with certain theories of his own which
he was not yet ready to abandon.
Therefore, despite the evidence which
seemed to accumulate against the dead
man's son. Mr. Mltchel considered the
ease still unproved.
But there was another matter which
Interested him In no ordinary degree.
The great resemblance between the 1
photographs of Lilian Vale and hlrf
daughter's school friend, Perdlta Van
Cortlandt. seemed to invite study. But,
having seen Lilian and having closely
observed her face, be was more than
ever struck by the likeness between
herself and the other girl as he remembered
her. Yet It was possible
that memory was here playing him a
trick. He had not seen Pcrdlta for
nearly a year and so could not now
be sure that he was not deceived In
fhneylng the likeness to be so great.
Then It occurred to hint that there
was nothing to prevent his calling at
her house. He was sufficiently well
acquainted with her family to do this
without exciting comment. With Lilian's
features freshly imprinted upon
hta memory lie could thus make a
comparison which would be decisive.
Half an hour later, therefore, he
stood at the door of the Van Cortlandt
rettdeoce *nd sent In his name. The
servant, not recognising him as a familiar
visitor, ushered him Into a small
reception room separated from the Inr
per parlors beyond by heavy oriental
draperies.
While awaiting the return ot the
man Mr. Mltchel was attracted by n
flue Corot which hung on the tvnll near
the portieres and went to that end of
the room to examine It. Standing
there, be was surprised to hear a voice,
which be Instantly recognized, speakIng
In most earnest tones, In the apartment
beyond.
"Bnt, Perdlts, my darling, you have
admitted that you love me! Then why
do you hesitate? Can you not trust
me, or do you, too, still doubt?"
It was Matthew Mora who was thus
pleading. Thus another and most unlooked
for chapter was added to this
ease. Mr. Mltchel firmly believed?In
fact, could not doubt?that Morn was
the fhther of Lilian's child. lie fnneted
that there was an uuustial resemblance
between Lilian herself and
Perdlta, and here he overheard Mora
making ardent professions of Icve to
the latter.
Had Mora also noticed the similarity
between bis little beauty of the slums
and tllla society belle? Was It this
which bad attracted him to this girl,
who waa his social equal and whom
onery vrcma aajudge to oe s ncrr
fitting companion to him through life?
As these thoughts occurred to him
Penllta was replying.
"Uow can you think me so contempt
I bio? 1 hare confessed my lore
for you. Docs not that suffice? Do'
you think that I could care for you
and not trust you?"
"Then you do believe In my Innocence?"
pursued Mora.
"As 1 believe In my Maker," was the
girl's reply, nnd the words Jarred unpleasantly
on Mr. Mltckcl's ear.
It was not pleasant to be thus playing
envesdropper. but the events which
were rushing one upon the other so
swiftly and the very Interests of this
girl herself seemed to Justify Mr.
Mltchel in adopting this method of
learning the truth. lie was therefore
glad that the servant did not return
too quickly.
The con versa Hon on tbe other side of
the portieres continued.
"Ah. you say you believe In my Inno- <
cence; that you trust me! But, Perdltn.
when 1 wish to put that faith to a test,
then you shrink. You hesitate to comply
with my wishes."
"Ah, but what you ask Is so unnecessary!
I do not understand why you |
should make such a request, nor do 1 i
think I ought to accede. 1 owe something
to my mother, you know."
"When a woman truly loves n man,
she Is ready to give up home, parents
and even self to follow his fortunes."
"I am willing to do all that, but 1 do i
not see why you should ask me to do
so In 24 hours. That Is very sudden."
[ "Oh, love nfTalrs are always sudden
surprises to women! That Is what they
all say."
"Now you are unjust and unkind."
ner voice trembled a little, and Mr.
Mltchel was strongly tempted to open
the draperies and chastise this man, i
who was urging a girl to do that
which lier conscience rebelled against.
Taking advantage of the young girl's
emotion, which he thought Indicated a
tendency to yield. Mora pressed his '
suit with renewed ardor. <
"My darling, forgive me If I have
spoken roughly I But It Is because 1 <
love you so that I cannot bear to lose *l
you, and something tells me that If 1 i
do not win you now, that If I cannot
persuade you to go with me, I shall
never call you mine." . i
tvlir9 Vnwr VAM nl%A?? *??*
? ? - " *WI* jvu DUVn 11IUI j uu
do not trust me. I will wait for your
return and be true to you forever."
"Yes, yes! You think so, and you
mean what you say. But listen! 1
must tro awnr. I must loavo thi? detested
plnee, where all my friends regard
me with suspicion. No one knows
what I have suffered during the last
few days. 1 have been accused of
Mr. Mltchcl plays eavesdropper. v
murdering my father, and the law has
released me. But don't you see that
'Until tlie real murderer is discovered
there must be a doubt In the minds of
the people? They are not fully convinced.
Unfortunately my father left
me a lot of money. Worse yet, there
was a will leaving half of the fortune
to charity, and that has disappeared.
Nine millions thus come to me as sole
heir which ought to go to charity. Yet
what can I do? If I turn that amount
over to charity, people will say, 'He Is
trying to buy back his reputation.' If
I keep It, they will say: 'He profited by
the loss of the will. Perhaps he Is
guilty, after nil.' At any rate, until
the mystery bo cleared up and my innocence
demonstrated to the whole
world It Is only natural that people
should prefer to avoid my acquaintance.
So at present I am an outcast,
a social pariah. I am alono In this
great city.- friendless In spite of my
millions. My God, I cannot stand It!
I will not stand It! I must get away,
away across the ocean, to some remote
corner of the world, where I can wait
till the truth Is known or stay away
forever. And I think It will be forever,
for something tells me that the murderer
will never be discovered. 1 am
a ruined mnn?ruined, rulncdl So you |
are right to hesitate. Vou aro right,
quite right! 1 do not blame you/'
| lie spoke bitterly, and there was a
. true ring to his words, as though It nil
caine from Ills heart. Yet Mr. Mltchel
! could not avoid the thought that Just
such words as these, just such emotional
tones, were best calculated to
excite a young girl's sympathies to the
point where she might overstep the
dictates of discretion and take a false
step.
llefore he could hear her reply the
servant approached, and Mr. Mltchel
went to the other end of the room, that
he might not appear }o have been listening.
The man announced that Mrs.
Van Cortiandt would lie dowu In a few
minutes and then withdrew. Mr.
Mltchel hastened back to the portieres,
but too late to know Just what the girl
had sold. Mora was speaking again
and very rapidly.
"Yes. yes. my darling! I believe that
yon love me, aud I know that 1 am
asking a great sacrifice. I.lsten! We
will compromise. I will let you think
It All over alone. If you decide In my
fgvor. lake the train tvlilcb leaves the
Grand Central for Boston tomorrow at
noon, and when yon reach Boston go tc
the Hotel Brunswick. I will be there,
with a clergyman at hand In readlnes?
to marry us. On the following day w?
will sail for Europe, and then, with out
troubles left behind, our happiness Will
begin In earnest. Think It all over,
dearest, and If you decide against mc
send a dispatch to my bouse tonight
Just say 'Bon voyager and 1 will sel
out on my Journey alone. In any event
I will take the midnight train tonight"
"1 will do as you say. 1 will think
It all out alone, but I cannot decide
now. I must have a little time. What
seems rtght to me 1 will do. But If my
duty here should prevent?then yon
will?you will forgive me?"
"Yes, 1 will forgive you."
"And?And come back for me?some
day?"
"Just aa soon as these clouds blow
away."
"You promise me that? For If?If 1
do not go with you?I will wait for you
?foreverl"
Then, overcome by her emotion, she
began to weep, and Mora spoke soothingly
to her In low tones. It seemed
probable to Mr. Mltchel- that bravegirl
though she was. If left to herself
she must eventually yield to the Importunities
of her heart and forsake
her home for ? -

legi&nce was rightfully due to another.
He walked slowly to the window
which looked out Into the street and
stood there, endeavoring to determine
what course ho should pursue. Presently
his attention was attracted by
the figure of a man partly concealed In
a doorway opposite. lie watched the
man for a few moments and then muttered
:
"A spy! Can It he possible that Mr.
Barnes Is still maintaining an espionage
over me?"
Just then he heard Mora leaving the
house and saw him descend the stoop
He stood for a second on the pavement,
looking sharply up and down.
The man opposite, however, had withdrawn
so that he was entirely out of
view. Apparently satisfied. Mora walked
rapidly up the street, turning the
next corner. Then the spy came forth
and glided swiftly after him.
"Hat" thought Mr. Mltcliel. "Mr.
Barnes cannot divorce himself from
routine methods. Well, If his mnn keeps
Mora In sight. It may be an advantage
this time."
CHAPTER XVI.
Mns. coorrn's narrative.
Mr. Mltchel henrd Perdlta run up the
broad stairway, and he readily guessed
that she sought the solitude of her own
chamber. A few moments later Mrs.
Van Cortlandt Joined him In the reception
room. He was now quite anxious
to get away, and therefore lie made bis
call very brief, pretending merely to
have dropped In to ascertain whether
he might bring his wife In the evening
with the expectation of flndlnc the
family nt home. Thus he arranged a
plan by which he could meet Perdita
again that night without exciting suspicion
us to his motive.
It wai after noou when Mr. Mltchel
left the house, and lie realized that tc
accomplish Ills full purpose he would
need to be very active during the next
24 hours.
He had arranged for Mrs. Cooper tc
meet lilm on the following day, bui
that had been merely a ruse to find n
chance to questlou her, and now h<
could not wait. Conseqnently he re
turned to the old woman's house ai
once.
Mrs. Cooper was surprised to see bin
again so soon, but he easily sntisfiei
her.
"I found that It would not do to wait
until tomorrow to see you obtain, Mrs
Cftorwr." nnl.l hn "oa <iw.m tc ?
affair of great Importance In whlcl
you may be of assistance to me. li
the first place, however, let me glv<
you the amount due you on your pen
alon claim, and you may sign a re
celpt."
Mr. Mltcliel handed her a roll of billi
and wrote out a receipt, which the ol<
woman readily signed. This he did li
order to establish himself thoroughly
In her coulldencc. Then he continued
"1 want to have n serious conversa
tlon with you now about yo?r adoptee
daughter Lily. She is your adopte<
child. 1 believe?"
"Well, you might call her so," sal<
Mrs. Cooper, "tlio igb I never took ou
no regular pai>ers. You see, she cnun
to me In a queer sort of way. But why
should 1 tell you her story?"
"1 shall explain. 1 huv<>-Board It li
part already. Hut the tlmo has conn
when 1 must have tin- full details li
order to save the girl horse*."
"To save the girl her-ielf. to save my
IJly! Why, want's happened?"
"I >hl you know that Idly bad t
child?"
"Lily have a child?tof her own, yoi
mean? Why, man, you'ue dreamln
Lily ain't morc'n a child herself."
"Nevertheless she 1ms a baby. Listen
There Is no time to Im> lout. A? I li?vi
nnld, she hns a baby, and this bub;
was recently abandoned In a grave
yard."
"O Lord, O I/Ord! Ybu . never meai
to tell me that?her own rttory all ove
again 1 Oh, dear! Ob. dear! That eve
I should live to see this day! But wha
eculd you expect? *\Vhnt's bred In thi
bone will come out In the flesh/ a;

"Exactly, and a saying with mucl
wisdom In It, Knt you say this 1
Lily's own storj; over agftln. Do yoi
mean she was a foundling?"
"Yes, a wee Ifttle tot of a thing 01

That's how I found her one bitter coh

Thanksglvln, when I wakes up wondcrln
what I had to offer up thanks
for, 'cept that I was alive, anil little
thanks for that, with my old man burled
only three weeks. Anyway, as 1
was born In the church and bred up to
Christian ways, I drops to my knees
as I slipped out of bed, and I thanks
the good I-ord for all his mercies, and
I remember that I added somcthtn
about bein content, though he'd took
away my old man without never glvln

aside from my story, and I s'pose you'd
i ruther I'd stick to that."
"Yes, ^es! Time Is precious. But
tell your Btory In your own way, and
we shall get through all the more
quickly. Go on."
, "You're a gentleman with a deal of
brains, now. If I was made to stick
, straight to the story, I don't doubt but
what I'd leave out half you'd wish to
know. Anyway I'll do my best. So
after my thanksglrln I rose up and
went to the window to let In some
light. I raised up the sash to push
I open tho blinds, and what do I sec but
, a most suspicious lookln bundle on my
I steps. I say suspicious, 'cause, though
I never had no babies myself, I've
tended many's the one, and I guessed
, right off that some wretch had put a
t baby by my door. 'The Lord be pralsl
ed,' I says out loud, though there
, weren't no one by to hear. "Maybe
. he's heard my prayers, after nil.' So
I I rushed on enough clothes to go to
the door In, and I fetched In the bunj
die, and when I unpinned the shawl,
j sure enough, there was a babs*, a real
live baby, rosy and fat and warm In
t spite of the hard frost outside."
"And that was Lily?"
r "That was Lily, sure. I took her to
i my heart that day, sir, and she's l*nd
y the biggest corner of It ever since,
? though uowadnys maybe she doa't
. think bo. But that's all 'cause of the
. drink, which, I own, do get the best
of me at times. But then what's a lone
3 wlddy to do, with times so hard and
j growln harder day by day. It's
j enough to drive a saint to drink, and
7 thnt's the truth."
She wiped away a tear with the hem
. of her dress, which she unhesitatingly
] lifted for the purpose, and Mr. Mlteli]
el, fearing that her emotion would interrupt
her narrative, brought her baclc
j to the threm! of licr story by asking:
^ "Tell me how you came to name her
} Lilian Vnle, Mrs. Cooper."
"Truly that was a strange part of it.
I found a paper pinned to her little
t shirt, and on it was written Vale. As
I couldn't make out anything but a last
name frbni that. I guessed that It must
be the family name, though why they
should take the trouble to tell that
when they was dlsownln the child w.t*
more'n I could make out. But how she
came to be Lilian was the strangestpart
of all. I was plnyln with the baby
1 and liavln lots of fun with her. 'cause
1 she was Just the cutest and prettiest
little angel you e*cr see. when there
' comes a message to tell me a friend of
8 mine was dyln and would I come over.
r Well, 1 didn't like to leave the baby by
y herself In my house, so 1 just carried
her along with me to my friend's
1 house. And what do you think?"
r "I do not know. What happened
r there?"
' "Why. Just as rooii as I took the ba8
by to her Itedsldc and showed it to her
8 she let out a scream you could have
heard a mile ofT. It was her baby!"
