Walk, he said, before he took the
train to New York.
Aunt Judy offered him the cars
In the Knollwood garage, but he
said he preferred the train till
time.
His short walk took him to one
place, only, a smull house on, tlge
' edge of the town. An unpielen
tious place, clearly not the abode
of society folk or even well-to-do
citizens,
Hut 'Stone was satisfied with
what he learned there, and took
the train a the little railroad stn
lion with hope high In his breast.
He out in the day in New Vork
on some quest that seemed to In
.v tia?tv trips from one .great
business building to another. Anil
Iroin each of these Fleming Stone
emerged, more and more per
turbed, more and more crestfallen,
more and more with the ashy gray
ness of hopeless despair settling
down upon his fine, strong fuce.

Have I really mel my Waterloo at
last? II can't be possible. I'm
so near the truth, so near a twin
lion, and yet Where's Kmlly?"
He went back to Knollwood
broken and heartsick. Not entire
ly despairing, for that was not bis
nature, but so near it as lo leave
but small leeway for hope.
And he saw the car that was at
the station to meet him, and real
ized there was no one in it hut the
chauffeur, he was .tglad. for he did
not feel like talking to the young
people just then.
Ilv the time he reached Hie
bouse he was his own man again
and had concluded that In keep up
' the morale of the whole case lie
' must put on a more cheerful alii

The result was that ho presented

lightly, for he knew better than
to lie definitely curious.
"I know." said the astute Hetty.
".Mr. Stone got part of what he
wanted In New Vork, and part he
didn't get."
Again Stone was amazed at lier
crspiracltv. though lie sadly real
ised ihat though she spoke truly
the part lie didn't get was what Is
known as tne lion s snare.
Hut ho only said: "Itlghl yon
re. Hetty, as usual," and then he
tlianged the subject to ither top
(cs rind they all look'llie'hliir. ' '
The next dny Fleming Slone

a whole week, and already the con

she had run away and would never
come back.
Others pooh-poohed Ibis theory

to the belief that she had been
suited for the diamonds she wore,
and, having put up a fight, had
been killed or mortally Injured and
had been curried off.
Stone rejoined the family at lea
time, and he looked pale and
anxious.
"Where does the doctor live?"
he asked. "Dorlor Union."
They told him and he asked for
a cur to take him to. call tin the
medical man.
Hetty offered to go along, lint
Stone gently declined her company
and went off alone.

Stone had a short Interview with
Doctor Kulon, but It was a satis
factory one. He learned from the
medical mail some facts that he
could have found out in no other
way, .and they went far to confirm
wiiat he had called the glimmer
of a glow of light on the dark sub
ject. Ho went hack, and going at once
to his rooms, he dressed carefully
for dinner. For some aesthetic
reason, It always helped Fleming
Stone lo be well dreSBed. Kspecial
ly when he felt dissatisfied with
himself or his work. And in this
case he did feel so. Never before
had nearly a week elapsed after a
crime, without his having lound
some strong clues or evidence, if
not, indeed, having solved the
whole question.
"Hut you have some clues
some evidence," he remnrked to
tils reflection in the mirror. "Now
the thing it to hang on to them
and work them up; don't let go of
a single loose end." -
"I shan't." the reflection In the
mirror promised him.
He went downstairs, lo receive
very genuine compliments from
Hetty on his dressy effects. A few
guests were expected, as Aunt
Judy persisted in keeping up the

"Come In. Pearl." Aunt Judy
cried out almost hysterically. "Mis
Kmlly is here!"
"Ilress de I,awd," murmured the
young negress fervently, and then
fell back unobtrusively, yet at
hand if needed.
"Whar's she been, Mis' Bell?"
Pearl whispered.
"Hush, we don't know. Don't
make any riols"
"No, ma'am."
Yet noise did not disturb Emily
Tluane. She lay In a dead faint,
and beyond holding sal volatile
lo her nose and fanning her lightly,
they dared not go. Almost no
word was spoken as they awaited
the coming of the doctor.
Betty quietly scanned her ap
pearance. ; '
She was at fired just as she was
when she had left the tea, when
she had told Rodney she was go
ing to the hospital and had gone
where?
Her frock, though Bomewhat
tumbled, waa not torn or soiled.
Her shoes showed no sign of hard
wear or unusual dust or dirt.
She had on no wrap and so bat,
and one hand clutched tightly the
diamond necklace that bung round
ber throat.
Sayre, on his knees at ber Bide
looked at her as It be could never
look his fill; as If be feared it was
all a dream and be must soon
awaken.
Aunt Judy went to ber cbalr
and sat there, wondering yet grate
ful that Emily waa back with tbem,
w hatever her lot might be.
