CHAPTER X I— Continued 1S—- Where, oh where hud I henrd thnt click before? I.nit night, In that sunie room? Could It bsve been that much- ■alum o f tho abaft and tbc lever which I confused with « hummer and a trigger? I caught Charles Mac- Ivor's e y e : he was glancing at mu tri umphantly; ha read my thought. In stinctively I glanced at Julia, and she was looking nt tue Imploringly, as If to lieg mu not to tnlajudgu her, even though thnt Instrument must have I>een In her hand before she emerged from the shadows, snatched up to de ceive the Intruder, who »ho did not know was her cousin. Yet I hardly noticed either o f them. Thnt strange click was boating of my brain; Its source, thnt small brass bog, had been In H arrow 's; I hud heard that click before, not once, but often I I had heard It at 10:10 that fateful Monday previous, when the shipping ofllce np ptlrnnt rang In, and again ten minute» later; nt 7:20 Thursday evening, and also at 10:1»— that click, which I now knew w n i not the time-clock, similar though It had sounded. All In one stunned minute th e»« facta flashed ncross my mind. Then Mr. Almy »poke. Ho was working tho tint »crew on the top o f the box up and down, and at Intervals snapping tho trigger, lie tapped the screw : “ T his Is a depth gauge.

No doubt you know grandfather wna last seen conscious at twenty minute« o f eleven. And didn’t I call you up enrly Thursday, to ask how you were?” “ Y ea; and to ask questions that showed me you thought maybe I had grasped the fact that you nnd grand father both wanted that book I hnd read him about, the week before,” re turned Julia, scornfully. "Thnt was the first time you suggested maybe I had been nfter It In H arrow 's; that maybe I hnd It I” “ It wns nt thnt tlm ».” Charles con United Implacnbly, “ thnt you told mo where the spring-lancet wns I I went nnd got It fnr you, asking not one slnglo question. I've also offered you llnnnclal assistance.

The 10:1» click wns explained I Rut I scarcely noticed the fnct. “ Charles I” choked Julln, “ are yon accusing me o f murdering our grand father? . . . Oh . . . oh I” For he wns shrugging his shoulders mockingly. Mr. Almy Intervened: “ lie careful what you sny, both of you I” " I hnve nothing to sny,” cried Julln pnsslonntely, “ except thnt It Is true my cousin went to get that spring- lancet. Just ns he says, nnd thnt he nsked no questions. Neither did I ask him any questions after I had picked It up from beside my grandfather, In the law hook alcove last Monday morning I" "A n d you lenped to the conclusion thnt I’d attacked him with I t Won derful Idea I” scoffed C hari««, roughly. “ What po««lt,lo motive could I have hnd for wishing him out o f the way?” “ T o g'*t lloil book with the book plate before tie did," answered Julia, stead ily; “ to get money—quickly.

Why did you go to Harrow's on Monduy, I f not after that book?" Charles M nclvor flushed with rage, but secihg that ho was still In a stronger position than Julln, he glared nt her with defiance. Hhe paid no attention to his anger. In fnct. «he spoke, «eelng »he must «peak, as gent ly ns she did firmly. “ Clinrles." »he said, “ It war for you thnt I hid that spring lancet.” “ For me I" “ Yes. 1 kicked It under that desk na I ran up the aisle.

Simply because she was my mother, and no one slse would have done It for me. You may tell me how she did It I” Charles had Indeed been startled by the unerring divination, and begun nervously: " I was hers visiting grandfather a couple o f month« after you were born, Julia. I was nearly nine years o l d - old enough to notice lots o f things. I sensed there wns some kind o f trouble about Aunt Mary, yonr mother. 8lie wna very alck, fo r one th ing; ahe hardly ever went o u t Then grand father seldom spoke to her. Some time«. when she felt well enough, she would draw a little. I liked to watch her. One o f a number o f aketchet I i n « her working on wna that book plate. O f course I didn’t know then what It was. “ One day ah« asked me to mall a letter for her. It waa addressed to a Mr. Kdwnrd Caae, whom I remembered having seen at the bouse more than once, during a previous visit 1 made. I had liked him ; be was friendly, and had shown me some little attentions such as a small boy enjoys. In fact, he had made some Impression on me. and as you know now, 1 recognized him laat Thursday night. It certainly was a shock, especially as be seemed (o have changed scarcely at all. And the most amazlDg thing waa that. In a minute, be appeared to recognize me— “ CHAPTER XII Charles had not known then, o f course, what Mr. Case had told Julia an hour or so ago— that be had seen him off and on. In the neighborhood, undoubtedly, during the course o f the years which had passed since bis boy hood. N or did he realize, probably, that bis boldly formed features, hla dark complexion, were o f the type which changes least during growth. Rut he did suggest the Immediate cause o f the recognition, as he went on: " I suppose the pretence o f the book. In the desk which I was apparently engaged In searching, stimulated Mr. Case's recollections violently. W ell, to continue: The night after I had mailed my aunt's letter, I woke up suddenly. I was sleeping In that little room right alongside here; that's now the recep tion room ; the noise that woke me came from thla room. I peeped in, and auw my aunt opening that French window, which bad creaked. She went out on the balcony: Full o f curiosity, 1 followed ber. "Leaning over the railing, she spoke to some oue down in the s tre e t: •You'll give it to Royall7* I recognized Mr. Case's voice In answ er: *1 prom ise.' I saw her drop a small book over the rail. Then I had Just time to get hack Into my room and shut the door before she came buck Into the house. "S ix weeks later, the died. A fte r a few days, o f course, I got used to her absence, and took Interest mainly In whnt happened around me from day to day. I noticed especially that grandfather kept searching, apparent ly In vain, through her papers fo r something he wanted very much. Then one day he missed something o f hla own. an old medical book thnt had be longed to his father the doctor. He accused me o f having taken or mis laid I t “ 1 knew absolutely nothing about It, nnd disclaimed all knowledge o f It, but he wouldn't believe me. He was very stern, and frightened me. Finally It came hack to me that I bad seen my aunt drop a book over the balcony that n ig h t I hnd never told anyone o f that experience; I liked knowing a se cret that wr.a none o f my business, nnd, though 1 can't claim much c re d it I was fond o f Aunt Mary, and would never have done anything to hurt her. Still, now ahe was g o e s ; and grand father persistently accused me o f bar* ing taken that book, so finally, in the hope o f placating him, or at least dis tracting hla attention from me, I told him what I hnd teen that n ig h t N ot one word did he say as I told my ta le ; hut at least he never asked me fo r the hook again. "W ell, years afterward grandfather told me what the story revealed to him. The paper he had been search ing for was your birth certificate, and when he couldn't find It, he knew your mother hnd hidden It somewhere, fo r she would not have destroyed I t He realized, therefore, that ahe had hid den It most cunningly. She had chosen one o f his most valued hooka fo r Its hiding place. Th e bookplate would easily conceal the certificate, the book gave a convenient means fo r han dling It. and If she had died before ah« could dispose o f the book, the certifi cate would probably never h a v« been disturbed. Revelations "Y ou ’ll need more than faith for th a t!" sneered Charles. I had had enough o f him. “ All right," said I. “ we'll have some works te a One minute, please I” My three companions, ev«n Mr. Almy, stared at me open-mouthed, but I did not care, for I wus going to make the bluff o f my life, which wns based, however, on some very careful think ing I had been doing during the last half-hour. There was a bowl o f flow- era on the table. I snatched them nut o f the bowl, picked up the book plate, and laid It carefully on the sur face o f the wnter. Holding It there with one hand, with the other 1 ex tracted from my hair the sole wire hairpin I always wear out o f defer ence to two helpless mule relatives who beg at the most extraordinary times for “ « tin one" to clean a pipe with. Next moment I plucked the bookplate forth from the bowl, laid hold o f Its edge firmly with my left thumb nnd forefinger, rasped the edge with the hnlrpln, and then slid the w ire loop Into a tiny crevice which hud appeared on the edge. The damp pnper parted farther ns the hnlrptn «lipped along I returned It to Its place, gru**ped the edges of the groove I hnd made, and polled gently. Slowly the bookplate peeled apart, amid a silence unbroken even by breathing. The picture remained In my left hand. In my right wns a doc ument. It was prln'ed. with some blnnks filled In by hnud. I glanced nt It, handed It to .lull«, and regarded Mr. M aclvor with my aweolest smile “ I ’d never hnve thought o f doing thnt If you hadn't suggested It wasn't all there.” I observed affably. Rut Julia Interrupted, with a cry that ended all small talk : " I wns right I I knew It, I knew It I” IVe all rushed to surround her.

In which, however, there was a faint undercurrent o f apprehension. I don’t know If anyone else noticed that, for certainly Julia was too excited, and as for Charles Mnclvor, he passed out o f my mind entirely for the moment " O f course.” resumed M i. Almy “ thnt thing hnd to he som ewhere; but I'll tell you frankly now, I had given up hope o f finding It, for every clew wns exhausted." Julia wns not listen Ing. to him, how ever; her eyes were still devouring the certificate. He took her gently hy the arm, and mude her sit down. “ Listen, please!” he said to her. *T have something else to tell you. some o f It as good news as you hnve Just henrd.
