The calm assurance of the girl's voice in this unexpected introduction left his brain paralyzed with bewilderment Tet his features did not betray his condition, 9 nor did he entirely lose control over himself. Fortunately he was not com* pelled to speak, as Gable voiced his wn surprise fluently. "Well, well,"'he exclaimed. "This la certainly startling, Natalie. I am ' ' 'will II "This la Certainly Startling, Natalia." Indeed, bereft of words, yet I congratulate yon, air. Captain?Captain West, I think was the naine? Yon are then In the service, sir?" "Discharged from the RnoHnoor* " "Ah, exactly. I can hardly adjust myself. Friends, come forward. I have- to make an announcement extraordinary. It seems this sly minx has arranged a surprise for all of us. Perchance this was the purpose of oar f iittie dinner party?" "Oh, no, Judge," protested Miss Coolldge, her cheeks flushed, yet etherwlse perfectly cool and selfpossessed. "Really, this was unexpected, even to myself. I was not so much as aware that Captain West was In the city until a very short time ago. I am sure he will bear me out In this statement." "I could not do otherwise, and 6e truthful," West felt compelled to admit. "But what Is this all about?' asked a female voice eagerly. "Remember we have not heard, Judge Cable." "It la my pleasure then," he aald? gallantly, bowing, and at once Instituting himself as master of ceremonies, "to Introduce to you, Miss Natalie's fiance, Captain West?Mrs. Lonsdale, Professor Scott, Miss Margaret Willis, Colonel LeFranc, Mrs, Wllber Somers. Possibly there may be no necessity of my presenting the next gentleman?Mr. Perclval OooUdge." "Oh, but there Is," the last mentioned Interposed, a tall, rather portly man, with grey hair and mustache, ^ "I must confess this Is as much a surprise to me as to any one present. However," he grasped West's hand with apparent cordiality, "I hasten to add my congratulations, and to wish Natalie all the happiness possible." The group slowly broke up, the members still discussing the undoubted surprise of this announcement West found himself confronting Colonel LePrance and Perclval Coolldge, the latter Instantly engaging him In conversation, eyldently seeking more definite Information. "This engagement with my niece," be said uneasily, "must have been rather sudden? Even your name Is gulte unfamiliar to me." ?It was. Indeed," admitted West, who had now completely recovered his nerve, and even begun to enjoy the ettuatlon. "Since my return from abroad." "You were with the army In France?" "In an engineer redrlment I have been to -America only two weeks." "Ah, Indeed. And this 1A your home?" Realizing that the elder Coolldge area dlUaentlv easrehln* for In forme* tlon, Weet decided the best method would be a foil confession. * "Ob, no," he said candidly, "I am from the Sooth?Atlanta, Georgia^ My father la a district Judge, Robert Peel Weet, quite widely known, and my aether belonged to the Bullock m ' family.

"Very much so," was the quick sponse. "And I chance to know t name of^Judge West rather well, cbngratulgte your niece on her chol of a life companion. There is no b ter blood in Georgia." . West passed the eusulng event rather pleusantly,/although obliged be always on his guard against a Incautious remark. Mr. Perclval G lidge was outwardly cordial enoui yet his manner continued dlstlnc reserved, and somewhat cold. We however, attributed this largely to I nature of the man, and finally <] missed the thought from his. mind together. The person who contlmi to puzzle him most was Natalie O lidge, nor was he able to approa her in any way so as to obtain A wh pered private word of guidance. ] ventured upon thin Ice on** or tw! most carefully, but the inforiuati obtained was infinitesimal, although bore to some extent on the probh confronting him. The colonel innoce ly lifted the veil slightly, permlttl him to learn that this was a week-e party, nnd thnt Miss Coolldge was t mistress of the place, her parents hi lng been dead for two years. Perch Coolldge, her father's brother, and manufacturer In the city, was 1 oninivllnn orwl fl?o offoI o ??i?v? i?iv o linn a ui iiic rou were not yet entirely liquidated. 1 yond this he apparently knew no Ins: of the family hlstoif, which felt liberty to communicate. West was assigned to escort M Willis, a tall willowy blonde, a quite talkative, luto dinner, but 1 conversation ran largely to the ti atrlcal offerings in town, and he fou It Impossible to change her trend thought Into other channels. Once t smiling Natalie appealed to him, mlllarly calling him "Matt" across i table, and he responded with equal tlmacy, yet her eyes avoided his, a It was plainly evident to his self-ci scldusness, that her remark w merely part of the play. More a more her actions mystified and p plexed; he could not discover the k to her hidden motive, or guess at 1 purpose in this masquerade. Nothl remained but for him to go quietly f ward, playing the part assigned. 5? coolly nnd deliberately defeated ev< effort he made to get her alone, o yet this was accomplished In a m< ner so as not to attract the attentl of others. Even rcrc'.v.i! Coo"'* who, West felt, was watching th both shrewdly, never susiected 1 quiet game of hide and seek bel played under his very eyes. As 1 evening progressed West became moat convinced that Natalie's prlti pal object was to deceive this gent man; that she really enred nothing 1 what the others pdght think, or s It was all a masterpiece of acting, exceedingly well done, rs to flna convince the young man that she v greatly In earnest as to Its succe She desired Perclval Coolldge to hi no lingering doubt of her engagemc And, finding all opportunity of planatlon denied him, West yielded the Inevitable, and, for the evening least, silently accepted his fate. Nor did circumstances favor 1 when the company finally broke and retired for the night. He I thought this moment might be pn tlous, but she calmly outgenera him again, suddenly bidding the n remain and smoke as long as tl pleased, and disappearing herself the stairway with Miss Willis. Wi convinced that her retirement v final, soon sought his own room, was eleven o'clock of a bright, mo light night, and, feeling In no deg sleepy, he seated himself at the v dow to finish his cigar. Again i again his mind reviewed the strai events of the evening, nnahle to rive at any definite conclusion. r. harder he sought to delve Into the n tery, the more obscure It became. He had, indeed, reached some c elusions already. These might not correct, yet they were already planted In his mind. The guests the nJght were mere puppets, ha\ no renl connection with the game Ing played, utterly Ignorant of w was going on behind the scenes. ' only one present having any real r was Perclval Ooolidge, and West 1 taken an Instinctive dislike to 1 m fill On 1V nna nrrtlnrinflnn Ano Into his mind to account for Mi8? f lldge's unexpected announcement an engagement between them?i would excuse any future Intlma ^ CARS, TRUCKS, TRACTOR SERVICE PARTE . v ^ 5:'5-'' mmmmssassmxesBsam iiii I would enable them to meet alone -freely without arousing comment. This appealed to him aa the most reasonable explanation of the situation. But beyond this vague guess, It was Impossible to del re. Tii*d by the useleasness of onch thinking^ West Anally sought the bed and mutt have slept, although scarcely - aware that he had closed his eyes. Some slight noise aroused him. The door leading Into the hall, which he hod failed te lock, stood partialis aja* and his eyes caught the vague glimpse -of a figure gliding swiftly through the -opening. With one bound he was upon his feet, springing recklessly forward. ^The hall was dark, but for a patch of 'moonlight at the further end. Against this he caught an Instant, -flitting glimpse of the Intruder. It was a wo ky man, yet even as his eyes told him ihc this, she seemed to vanish Into thin air?the hall was empty. Vague and Indistinct as was that ** fleeting vision In the moonlight. West >&1 felt no doubt as to the Identity of his ln visitor?the woman was Natalie Coolldge. His one glimpse of her vanishing figure assured him of this fact, and oo? he drew back Instantly, unwilling to ire follow. Where she had gone he nelth It Wat a Woman, ler ?te er knew, nor cared. She had come te his room secretly, supposing him th- asleep, and this surprising knowledge he dominated his mind. What conld such 1 an act mean? There was mystery Isa hare, at least, a mystery beyoud his nd power of discernment. However, this ier recognition rather hardened him to his lie- task, than othdkwlse. nd This time he locked the outer door of carefully, and lay down on the bed, he wondering If thers would be any furthfa or developments. As he attempted to he think, he was listening engerly for the In- slightest sound of movement In the nd hall. There was none. He could only i>n- wait, and watch for the next move. hs Perhaps the morning would bring full nd explanation. With this conception in er- his mind, his head sought the pillow, :ey and he lapsed into unconsciousness, ier The long training of army service ng caused West to awaken early, while or* the house was yet quiet, but with the Ihe dawn already red la the east. He ?ry crossed to the window, and looked nd out. caught the flutter of a white skirt. in- and realized Instantly that, early aa ion the hour was, Natalie Coolldge was al?e. ready un and about. He wondered if em her presence might not be an Invlta:he tlon for him? Perhaps she had deng llberately chosen this early hour, hehe fore the others awoke, to explain her al- strange conduct of the previous eveicl nlng? At least, here was an opporle tunlty to see and talk with her alone, for He dressed swiftly, and slipped noiselessly downstairs, unlocking the ? front door, and emerging Into the fresh Ny air, without encountering any stray members of the household. He passed beyond a vine-draped arbor before she tve resMoed his approach, and straightened nt. up, welcoming him with a little laugh, her eyes full of demure mischief, to ?i rather suspected army discipline had not entirely worn off," she said i pleasantly, "and>|hat you might still dm | prove to be an early riser." np.

The ftuah deepened on her cheek*, and her Up* parted, j "It really seenta so ridiculous," ah< explained at last desperately.

That is really what is the matter, I suDDOse?there In no one I can talk to; they would only laugh at me. "My father was Sl"ven Coolldge, and waa very wealthy. He did not marry until late In life, and, I have reason to believe It was a great disappointment to his brother Ferelval that a child was borp. Perhaps I ought not to make such a statement, but much has occurred to Impress me with his dislike?" "He Is your guardian?" "Yes; you learned that last night?" "From the colonel; lie seemed to enjoy talking, and naturally, I was curious. Has Perclval Coolldge wealth of his own?" "Only what my father left him, which was a considerable sum, and a i limited Interest In the business. He j was very much dissatisfied with his share. Before I was born he had confidently expected to Inherit everything." "The estate then Is not settled?" "Not until I am twenty-five; within a few days now." "And your mother?" "She died at my birth." West leaned forward eagerly. "It Is the estate then that troubles you?" ' he asked swiftly. "You Imagine it has wasted?" "No, not at all. They tell me It has Increased In value. Perclval Ooolldge is a good business mnn, but something , strange Is going on behind the Bcenes. I seem to be fighting against a ghost." "A ghost!" "Yes; now don't laugh at me! Do you suppose I would ever have dona . Jytii. "A Ghost l" anything as reckless us advertising for help If I had not been actually desperate?

"You must try," he Insisted firmly, affected hy her evident distress. "J must he told everything If I am to he or any value. A half way confidence can accomplish nothing." "But It sounds so foolish; I am being haunted 1 I know that, yet that Is all I do know." "Haunted, In what way?"
