The newcomer stood at the edge o the front steps, and pauRed lonj enough to light n cigarette before d? acending. His features were as den cut as though done in marble. an< about aa expressive. For the Are time. In the glare of the_brlght morn Ing light, West took stodc of the fel low, and realized his trae nature. Ir _ stlncilvely he felt that here was tlv particular antagonist he was to h pitted against. His companion raus have sensed the same fact, for sh swiftly drew back beneath the shadov of the vines. "You meet him," she whispered "alone. I would rather he did no ' And us together." ^ She had vanished before he coul Interpose, slipping away so nnlselesslj he' was scarcely aware of her swlf action. Coolhlge strolled on, the blu smoke of the clftorette marking hi progress. West stepped carelessl; forth from the concealment of th vines, watchful for any change of ei presslon on the face of the othei There was none, not evei) a look o surprise, or a tightening of the lip. "Ah 1 Captain," le said easily, tos? ing his stub asld s, and drawing fortl his case for another. "Glorious al this morning; the advantage of earl; rising; yon Indulge, I presume?"

"Of some Interest, *1 confess," at knowledged West, controlling his ten per. "Although my Information ha pot come from Inquiry.

"Are jou trying to get h your nose into my affairs?" B "Moat certainly not," returned West e coolly, yet facing the other with a * steady eye. "But I may be led to InB vestlgate those of Miss Goolldge, If v she should so request. It seems she possesses no one to represent her at I. present?not even the family lawyer." t "What do you imply by that remark ?" d "That she has gone to you, and to the attorney who represents the est tnte, relative to some very strange oce currences of late, only to be laughed s at. No effort has been made to re f lleve her anxiety." o "You mean that fool story about > some ene else pretending to be her? And you propose Investigating tier f wild imaginings, bey? By Gad, you are going have an Interesting time." * "I hope so; at least,,I am hoping It to discover some truth." * "Good. I wish you well," and his f tone was one of decided relief. "Your adventures ought to prove quite amusf ing." c" Coolldge laughed heartily, the whole affair apparently taking op 'a new aspeer, now tnai he ieii iie eotupreiieuut ed the real purpose of the other. * "Oh, by the way. West, you must " pardon me if I scud Sexton into your I- room for a valise I left there. You g see I occupied that suite until you e came. I do not know why Nntelle der? elded to change me this time?naturally wished to reserve the best for you, o I presume." . "Very kind of her, I am sure. There is Sexton now." d "Which means breakfast is served. ? Shall we go In?" II The two men walked slowly up the I, gruveled path, lending to the side ? door. West's thoughts were busy with i? this new discovery. Had he Inadvertently stumbled upon a clue? So y he had occupied the room usually re0 served for Perelval Coolldge. PerM haps here was the explanation of the coming of his strange visitor. West > glanced aside at the face of his uni> conscious companion, deciding quickly 1 to venture a chance shot. i "Were you expecting a caller last d night?" he asked calmly, d Cool I dare wheeled about, startled out * of hit self-control, d "A caller I Of course not. What 4 put that In your head?" "Because I had one, In that room you say you always occupied. The visitor vanished as soon as I was seen, and the thought occurred to me 1 just now that you might have been the * one sought." ? "Perfectly absurd. West! You must *' have had a nightmare. What did she 3 look like.** P "Oh, I only had a glimpse In the moonlight; resembled a ghost more than anything else." ( "And Just about what*It was," with 1 ? laugh of relief. "Some dream you j better forget about. Come along; they are waiting on us." ( They passed up the steps together; and Into the pleasant breakfast room, ? where the remainder of the company t were already gathered. Coolldge was u again perfectly at his ease, genially greeting the guests, and hat} apparent* ly already dismissed the Incident from ^ his mind. Buf West had settled on a 1 point which Coolldge overlooked. He U ' had gained the very Information de sired. He had parefully refrained .( from even suggesting the sex of his ~ i mysterious visitor. Perdval Ooolldga knew, without being told, that- the I caller was a woman. Then he also [ knew who that woman wAs. , The morning meal proved delightfuli ly Informal, Natalie gracefully presiding, and apparently in the highest , spirits. No intimation of anything l i i ' CARS, TRUCKS. TRACTORS | ' SERVICE PARTS r \ , wrong burdened those present <M single servant silently performing bis duties to the constant langblng chatter of these about the table. Bveo Coolldge, somewhat distant at first, yielded finally to the prevailing huuior, and Joined freely In the conversation. This turned et last to the plane for the dny, revealing a variety of do* sires, which Natalie arranged to gratify. Coolldge, rather to the Surprise of the lady, suggested that Natalie accompany him Into the city on a special errand of mercy. At first, amid the ceaseless clatter of tongues, West was unable to grasp the nature of his pies, or her reply, but finally overheard enough to arouse his personal Interest, especially when his own name was mentioned in the discussion. "I was not aware you ever concerned yourself In such matters,** ghe said soberly. "It must be attended to today?" "The case Is very urgent, I am told." "But how can I leave my guests? especially Captain West?" West leaned forward. [ "Do not hesitate on my account. I can easily amuse myself; or. If there Is room, and It Is not disagreeable to lfr. Coolldge, I might enjoy being of the party." "Why, of course," she coincided eagerly. "Why couldn't he come along? There will be plenty of room If I operate the car. It Is a "case of destitution of which Uncle Perdval has Just learned?a widow and three ddldren actually suffering. Surely It can 'do no harm for Captain West to accompany us?" Coolldge exhibited no enthusiasm over the proposition; Indeed West felt his response almost discourteous; yet this very suspicion aroused his own desire to make one of the party. The man was not pleased with this new proposal, that was evident enough; but the niece unquestionably desired him to accept the Invitation. Not only her lips, but equally her eyes, pressed the matter, and West experienced no hesitancy In saying yes. "Why, of course I will go," he returned heartily, "and I will be ready whenever you are." "About half an hour then." He retired to the room upstairs, partly for the purpose of exchanging his coat, but also half tempted to make a hasty examination of the valise which Coolldge had thoughtlessly left overnight. The conception had already taken strong hold on his mind thiht his visitor of the evening before had been the mysterious Impersonator of Natalie Coolldge; and that she had come there with some deliberate put* pose?no doubt a secret conference j with Perdval. ' For what purpose? To West's mind only one object appeared probable. The man was too far advanced in life ?certainly much above sixty from his appearance?to be Involved in a love affnlr with so young and attractive a woman. Some other purpose, demanding immediate attention, muni furnish the reason for her venturing to enter this house at such an hour, and com* ing directly to the room where she supposed -Coolldge to be sleeping. To West's mind there could be but one The two we** mnhmiw involved ,u ? conspiracy of some nature, undoubtedly connected with the approaching settlement of the Coolldge estate. This girl, so strangely resembling Natalie, had In some way been discovered by the scheming guardian, who was now using her for his own selfish ends. She had been selected, and trained to act a part?the part of Natalie Coolldge. Her ability to deceive had been tested In various ways. Now the moment approached when they were ready to play dut the real game. Yet the nature of that game was In no way apparent. He could only keep quiet, and wait for some further development, even appear Indifferent, while he secretly watched every suspicious movement of Perclval Coolldge. It wit not at all probable the satchel contained any criminating evidence, yet the temptation waa strong to obtain, If possible, a hasty glance at the contents. Bat for this he was already too late, scarcely reaching the room Indeed, before' Sexton appeared, announcing his mission. "Coolldge tells me he usually occupied this room," West ventured curiously, "How did it happen I was put in here?" "It was upon order from Miss Natalie, sir, but she did not mention the change In time to remove the bag." "How long have you been here, Sexton?" "Sixteen years, sir." "You knew Miss Natalie's father then, and must enjoy the place to remain so long?" "It has been very pleasant, sir, until the last month or so." regretfully, yet evidently glad of the opportunity to talk, lingering with one hand ou the knob of the door. "Since then things haven't been Just the same." "In what way?" "Well, I dofTt exuctly know, sir. Miss Natalie seems to change tier m'nd, an' we never can please her. T?iat's the trouble, mostly. Last night I waited up until you all went to bed, an' then locked the house, the. way she told me to. But that didn't suit her at all, for she stopped me on tho stairs, an' made me go back an' leave the side door unlocked?just said she'd attend to that herself." "Miss Natalie told you? Yon are sure, Sexton 7" "Oh, IS was her, sir; there was a light burning In the hall, ap' she was all dressed up as though she was goin* at. 'Taint the first time, either. I ain't got no right to say anything, bat MEN and women average $1.00 per hour selling hosiery, four pairs guaranteed to wear four months or new hosiery free. We pay 30 per cent, commission. Free samples to working agents. Complete Una of wool and heather mixtures. This is it ' - 1 " ? m ? * ??? II pottle* me what she wonts to go sot (or at that tints o' night. And T thought maybe I ought to speak to Mr. Perctvat Coolldge about it." "No. I wouldn't. Sexton," Raid West quietly. "It would likely enough onty get you Into tftuble. Probably she cannot sleep well, and so walks In the garden." As West made no further effort to continue the conversation, but began to carelessly roll a cigarette. Sexton slipped silently through the opening, the valise in his hand, and closed the i door behind him. This attempt to dig Information out of a servant was not a pleasant experience, yet West felt that In this case It was fully Justified. If he had retained any lingering doubt to what had occurred the previous night, this I donbt had entirely vanished in the i face of Sexton's testimony. His vlslI tor, snd the one who h.'id ordered the | servant to leave the side door unlocked, I had been the same?not Natalie Ooolldge, but strangely resembling her. I Whatever else her purpose would be, one object was clearly connected with ! the presence there of Perclval. Very well I this meant that he already had two distinct Itnea nf ImrootlffoOnn i opened to him?the woman, and the man. The first was like pursuing a shadow, but Coolldge was real enough. He determined to keep in touch with the fellow, confident that he would thus be eventually led to a discovery of his companion. ; ?? CHAPTER IV A Visit to the Indigent. The guests had either retired to their rooms, or were wandering about the spacious grounds; at least none were In evidence when West emerged on to the side terrace, where Miss Natalie and Perclval Coolldge waited. It wan not a long ride, the point sought being a short submerged street In the southwestern secton of the city. The, runabout felt Its way cautiously forward through a jostling throng of screaming youngsters, and finally turned Into Arch street, only two blocks In length, with low, two storied, wooden cottages on either side. Perclval, plainly nervous at the surroundings, Indicated the place sought In the middle of the first block, and Natalie ran the car up against the curb. "Is this the place?" she asked doubtfully, eyeing the rather disreputable cottage, which seemed deserted. Coolldge unfastened the door, and stepped out. "Yes, It's all right," he answered sharply. "You might wait here. West; we'll only be gone a few minutes. Come along, Natalie. West won't mind." > "Certainly not," the younger man said heartily, "I shall If very comfortable; don't bother about me." He had a distinct Impression that Coolldge did not desire his company any further, yet this suspicion aroused no sentiment. This was a matter with which he was In no way concerned, and the only lutePest he felt was strictly lmpersonnl. Sinking comI?-I I? " * icjuij unc& in nit; seai, nis gaze centered on the maze of children playing In the street. Their agtlcs amused him for some time, nut, i at last, he began wondering at the de- j lay of those within, and his mind > drifted to the peculiar conditions with j which he was confronted. If some conspiracy was on foot agnlnfet Na- j talle, what could be Its object? and ! who were directly Involved? Seeming- | ly, Perclval Ooolldge was the only per- j son who could be directly Interested ; should misfortune occur to his niece; j he was the guardian of her inherl- I tance, and responsible for what remained of her fnther's estate. Undoubtedly he also was the next ftelr at law. His Interest In the matter5 was therefore easily figured out. West had to learn the condition of the Steven Cool Id go estate, and whether | or not Perclval had administered It ' justly. Once satisfied upon that point, he would know better what further steps to take. If Coolldge was engaged In some criminal scheme the man was certain- j ly shrewd enough lo carefully cover , 1 hi* trail- It WOS nft cnrlilnn I to which he had yielded, but a deeply laid plan, formed, perhaps, as long ago as his brother's death, and now just coining to a head. West's glance took In the surroundings, but with no conception that they would have uny direct bearing upon the mystery he was endeavoring to solve. It was a block of irregular houses, a tenement on the corner, a dirty-looking brick, the other houses of wood, mostly two stories In height, rather disreputable In appearance, but the one before which the machine waited was a fr^me cottage, well back from the street, and rather respectable In appearance, although It must have been some years since last painted. The door was shut. The chimney Indicated no sign of smoke, the front yard gave every evidence of long neglect. An urchin, chaslnsr a ball, plunged recklessly beneath the auto, emerging with the sphere In his grimy fist. West j stopped him with a question. Who lives In there?" "I don't know. These folks just come In. They a .'t got no kids. Here ye are, Micky!" "Walt a minute. Here's a dime for you. You say these people Just moved inr "Yep." "When?" "Couple days, maybe. Hooligans "?vfcu uui win wrrn "IS", nn Mini, while after that, these guys moved In. I ain't seen nobody *round, but a sorter mlddlbo* ol* woman." West, having abstracted all the 1? foimutton possible, made no farther effort. The knowledge thus obtained as to the present occupants of the cottage did not exactly coincide with the story Coolldge-had told. He had spoken of a widow with three children In destitute circumstances following the father's death. The boy asserted there were no children in the family. And they had Just moved in, within a very few days, during which time the neighborhood had only glimpsed a "middling old" woman, it was strange at r r r remain so Iong"Vtfhrn, not of eight and bearing. He had been waiting now for three-quarters of an hour. He opened the door of the car and stepped out upon the curb, almost tempted to Investigate the cause of delay. As he stood there undecided, the two emerged fro in the cottage, and descended the steps together. Through the opened door he caught no glltnpse of any one within, yet some unseen hand closed it quickly behind them. They came down the narrow board walk together, Percival carefully holding the lady's arm to prevent her tripping over the loosened pranks, but neither exchanging a wdrd. Natalie appeared somewhat sobered by her visit, and West noticed that she had tied a light veil over her face, which slightly shadowed her features. It was only ns thev renohed mrh that she spoke, her voice rather low and listless. "Would you mind driving the car ?mr% -Really I Feel Quite Unnerved." back?" she asked Coolldge. "Really I feel quite unnerved." "No wonder," he returned sympathetically, "I have never witnessed a sadder case; the conditions were even worse than I Imagined. I should never have brought yon with me, my dear." "Oh, I am not sorry I came; but It has been a lesson- to me. I do not think I ever before realized what sm-h poverty meant. It was most pitiful." "Do not think of It any longer, Natalie," ^Coolldge Insisted rather gruffly. "They are all right now. I shall telephone frr a doctor as soon as we get back, and attend to the rent the first thing tomorrow." "I know, Uncle, but I cannot forget so easily." The returning ride seemed very brief, and, almost before West realized It, the car whirled in through the Coolldge gate, aud came to a stop at the door. The party separated pleasantly. Natalie disappeared somewhere within, while the two men trolled out to the tennis court where the guests were enjoying a spirited game. All met again at iuncn, ana then separated, some to motor over to the lake, the others amusing themselves as they saw fit. {loth Coolldge and Natalie vanished, while West, finding himself alone, chose a book from the library, and, solaced by a dgnr, sought a shady nook on the porch. The book, however, was but a mark for his thoughts, which continually revolved about the strange surroundings In which he found himself. He was apparently making uo progress, wss no nearer a solution of the mystery confronting him. Thus far, at least, no direct clue had presented itself. Numerous things had occurred to strengthen suspicion, and to Increase Interest in the quest. But beyond this ?nothing. He liked the girl and was completely enlisted In her service. He disliked Perclvnl, and wus convinced the fellow was planning evil. Several Incidents had already strengthened this belief; yet there was nothing positive upon which to build; no path of adventure for him to follow. To speculate was easy enough, hut real facts eluded hliu. Sexton appeared in the door, evidently looking for some one. The man espied him there in the shadow of the vines, and came forward. "Miss Coolidge requests your presence, sir, for a few moments." he said gravely. "Why, certainly; did she say where, Sexton?" "In the library, sir; she Is waiting there now." "Very well. I will Join her at once. Thank you, Sexton," and West disappeared Into the cool, darkened hall. (To be continued next week.) State of South Carolina, County of Chesterfield.
