"Why, that'a too bad," aald tbt nan
genially. "Allow me lo help you look

Blio stood i mated aa he searched the

"I wouldn't bnvt parted -with It for

In that manner If be were guilty. Per

hidden spring she would know nt once
tho rightful owner. Hut how could
ahe say, "Will you let me see the In
side of thai locket for I bellovo It to

Then nn Idea occurred to her. Upon
tbo leather cover of bis notebook was
lettered distinctly. "John W. Hryce.

It by special messenger nnd, quoting

When Helen was dressing for Mra

save the wonderful robe which echoed
through Hut room. Wheu Hie applause

"It Is you," said he, "who have mnde

Hut Helen wns staring Incredulously
at tbo furgetiuenot rhiirm sus,etidcd
from bis silken fob "Who gave you

years ago, tod I ban It today In tbe
park."
"That was Indeed unfortunate," said
tbe singer. "The owner of this little
charm desired roe to wear li this even
ing. 8 he bas bad It for number uf
years."
Helen's Augers tightened about ths
locket as tbe man held out bla band
to receive IL
Mrs. Tom came toward ibem, bevy
of laughing girls In ber train "Mr.
Malcolm." sbe called, "come and be
introduced." Tbe man besltnted "If
you please?" be said peremptorily,
looking it Helen.
Iteluctnntly she surrendered tbe
golden trinket nnd turned sway. Per
bnps Mr. Uryce bad out deceived ber
after all. Kbe waa airaogely pleased
t lbs tbougbt sod decided at least
to tell blm of ber new discovery. She
found blm sitting lu secluded cornor,
screened from view by pulins and
plants and apparently lost lu gloomy

moniously. "I bave seen It again." sbe announc

"Mr. Malcolm Is wearing my locket,"
sbe e i plained. "Inscription sud alt
Did you give It to him?"
"I never saw tbe man before." be
snld solemnly. "Ue bas probnbly bevu

Ueieu shook her bend. "Ha snys It

meaulngly. "I supiose It bas beeu

"See here!" ssld Mr. Rrycs Indig
nantly. "He ought to give a better
explanation. You wait here for a few
moments while 1 buut tbe fellow up

Tbe girl seemed to bave forgotten
ber animosity toward Mr. Hryce.
"How good you are," sbe snld. aud
tbe look lu ber eyes was battering.
Hut wheu be returned his face wore
perplexed frown.
"Did you get tbe locket?" she nsked
eagerly. The man avoided ber eyes.
"It Is no longer in bis possession,
be said.
"Woll, where Is It?" sbe persisted.
Mr. Itryce spoke very slowly. "lie
scorned to think It was uoue of my
affair.
"1 see," said Heleu, and ber friendly
feeling toward the young mnu fled.
"Good evening, Mr. Hryce."
Ills tall figure blocked the passage.
"One moment, please, before jrou go,"
be snld desperately. "May I call some
time If I am able to bring nu explana
tion of this annoying affair?"
"You uuiy call," she answered weari
ly, "when you cnu return my locket
to me." He bowed aud stood aside
for bor to puss
Later, wheu Helen's mother -was
mnklng ber ml lens to Mrs. Tom, Mau

Helen gave an odd little laugh. "1
will be pleased to see you," she said,
when you cun bring the locket wltb

"My denr." said her mother ns tboy
woro driving home, "nre you not well?
You bave been so unlike yourself all

"1 lost Lolltn's cbnrtn today, moth

to hnve vanished with IL"
A week or two passed nnd Helen
might hnve forgotten the lost locket
If the blond young ninn hnd not con
stantly appeared to remind her. She
seemed to meet him everywhere, as
she descended ths steps of ber own
home or waited for n car at tbe cor
nor, and once be hud been silting upon
tbo well remembered bench as sha
happened to walk through thu pnrk.
Upon each of tbe occasions sbe mere

bad delivered a box wltb -tbo curd of
Mr. Hryce attached, and as Helen re
moved tho tissue wrappings from the

Heleu'a heart beat rapidly Hh was

"I am more than pleased." he said,

Mr. Malcolm smiled. "Will you kind
