Ho deciphered tho words "Tyogn," 'great haste,' "make all ef forts to save iff e" and "H. H." "Wofi, "we're on tho trail of the story, anyhow." he pheerfully mused. "That ought to be some consolation." All night tho three were crowded 'n a space hot big' enough for two of them. The yacht made good time, and when "It finally stopped with a Jolt. Meta sought them out and bade them go ashore. They were landing at the wharf of what might have been a conventional ' English seaport country place. At tho H end of a driveway, over which every body 'limped except, City Editor Bur ton, who Benonl had left tethered in the yacht, rambled a pretentious house of Gothic architecture. A modern glass covered piazza was buijt along one side of the place, and as they mounted the steps Betty recognized within this enclosure Tyoga in cap and apron, in charge of a pair of children, approximately 9 and 10 years old. The boy was the larger of the two, a slight dark lad. with a petulant expression and awkward movements, Later Betty saw this awkwardness was caused by a deformity of the hip. The girl was plainer of face than her brother, but her figure had the perfect symmetry of all wild things that live in the open air. Tyoga was mending a white gar ment, but at sight of the pilgrims she dropped her work and went forward to greet them, leaving the children star ing after her. She bowed before Betty and the two v other Americans, kissed Meta "warmly on the cheeks, and embraced Benonl passionately. When these two were to gether the relationship of mother aud son was easily discernible. "Ah, so you came safely away," she . sighed, in a relieved manner, "I was so alarmed. Hamley came home this morning. He and the old man had a dreadful argument. They are upstairs now. It has been frightful. But you must not mind. I do not know what I am going to do with the children. They are getting so old now. I can't put them off with fairy tales any long er. It is racking." She turned to Bet ty. Tin glad your friends found you. Poor child! The strain on you has been terrible, but the snarl Is nearlng Its end. You shall soon see." The interior of the house was as con ventional as its exterior. Betty, Larry Morris and Johnny felt that the pe numbra of mystery' was at length be ing pierced by the return of reason. "But if Mr. Wayne finds these peo ple here he may kill them." objected Benonl. "He shall not see them," assured Tyoga. "Nor Hackleye. neither. They and the children must all be out of sight before he comes down stairs. Since she Is dead Hackleye cannot abide the sight of the children any more. And all her things he wants them out of sight down here, yet he lives in her old rooms. Take them to the north wing, Aleta, ana T will bring .the children." The north wlng had four bedrooms, a sitting room, and a small alcove. It was done In English chintz, and several canaries sung and swung in tho wln . dows. In Betty's room had been placed garments more conventional than those she wore, and a dozen little toilet con veniences, not the least welcome of which was a box of hairpins in assort ed sizes. She lingered long at her dressing why shouldn't she have done bo? In al this time she had not been so near the accustomed luxuries of life. The bath tub was a delight, the brushes, creams and powders brought back visions of civilization, and even the makeshifts for fashionable clothing were a comfort True, the skirt laid out was plainly Tyoga's and needed h dozen reefs and tucks; but for a walsr there was an old-fashioned polonaise, and this was better suited to Betty's size. When she was finished she real ly felt proud oi nerseir, and awaited the reunion with the boys in the sit ting room with great anticipation. They naa xareu uener in mo mailer r clothes, though Johnny's trousers were too long and Larry's were at half-mast. While they criticised, commented, and compared the children burst In upon them. The boy limped quietly in, but the girl stormed through the doors like a whirlwind. "Where you live when you were a little' girl,?" sho flashed at Betty, 'T)id they always have something doing around that you couldn't see into?" "Of course they did," said Betty. "Those things always happen when you're children." "But I don't believe It was like It Is hero," persisted tho child. "Here things are so funny, they make you creep if you don't want to. You needn't scowl, brother, you know it's true. Any body can see It. And why did these people come here in those skin clothes? And why has Tyoga been so worried? And why won't papa eeo us, and where la mother? Do you oh, tell me do you think our mother's dead?" the child cried, flinging herself In Betty's lap, "We had the loveliest mother, and he's been gone for so long!" "What was your mother's name, r?" questioned Betty, though she leye,"' replied tho child, "but wo Just called her mother." Betty's tears mingled with thoso of tho little girl. "I don't know, dear." sho answered. "Walt till wo get a post and then we'll know." "That's what Tyoga always says." continued the child. "But thu post nev er comes here any more. What's your name?" "Betty Lancey." "And his'n?" "Mr. Johnson." "And his?" "Mr. Morris." . "Mine's Paula, and brother's Is Wal ter Hamley," announced tho child. "Wo Just call him Walter, though. He's aw fully shy. Is brother. He doesn't wear mother's picture any more; ho says she's been gone so long that she doesn't love us or else she'd come back. But that Isn't so. Tyoga went away for a long time, but Tyoga came back. This is mother, see?" She opened the locket around her neck and displayed to Betty the now familiar face of Cerlsso Wayne. It was such a beautiful, lovely, mock ing face, but It wasn't a good facel Betty couldn't held acknowledging that to herself even as she made her bow to the witchery of the painted features before her.. There was nothing of the mother ther. "I hate this place," went on Paula. "I don't like tho blacks and I don't like. the quiet that's always here. Papa said he'd take us to England, but since mother went away he never talks of that any more. Papa doesn't seem to love us like he did. He was away, too. He's Just come home. And so cross! Why, the other day he stepped on one of my guinea pigs and killed It. and then he killed another and took and drowned the whole pen full of them In the river. He used to be so good." "Paula, you've talked enough," chld ed the boy. "These folks don't care." Larry proceeded to make friends with Walter, and. Betty and Johnny kept Paula amused with a wonderful game of ball that you make out of your handkerchief ant. twirl around from one to another on two hat pins. Gradually Larry and Walter got Into the fun. and the revel was at Its height when Le Malheureux came into the room. "Le Malheureux!" cried Betty, and stretched out her hand in welcome. But the shrouded figure stood aside. "Excuse me, please," he protested. "So these are your friends? Now they have found you, I hope they may be able to see you safely home again. I will ask of you, too. a favor. Will you take these two helpless children with you? They belong to my sister. Mrs. Hackleye, known to you as Mrs. Wayne. I wish Uiey may go to their father's people in England. There is no one else who can take care of them and they mustn't stay here any long er. No." reading the question in Lar ry's eyes, "the father is not dead, but he Is not well. And It Is best for them to go." "When can we go?" blurted Larry, "and where is the father? Didn't ho kl " Betty threw tho ball at Larry, and It struck him squarely in the mouth, interrupting the question on his lips. "Judge not,' cautioned Le Malheu reux. "I will d"ne with you later, after the children 'have gone to bed." The remainder of tho day was a catechism by the children. They de voured their strange visitors with questions about the country they had never seen, wondered If they would meet their mother, made a thousand childish plans for the voyage, and drew lots as to which of their pets they would take with them. Discussion as to the relative merits of white mice over guinea pigs and peacocks ' was bordering on belligerency when Tyoga carried the Juveniles away to the room that did duty as a nursery and left their impatient elders ,to await the coming of Le Malheureux. your secret castlo. the gato to thosa could not accept tho conditions of tho oonnnza ncius whero tho diamonds Ho Vatican's Inst nolo, and tnnt mo van so closely bedded togethor that a neo- cnn woutj bo BO informed. tho nrotondcr. hus Is sued n manifesto in which ho Bays ho hn flnrllsts In tho battlo vuhlrli hi Intimates is coming soon Thn crnnerul situation is complicated by tho unrest among tho miners In tho Cntalonlan provinces and tho occasion nl Mnahen between tho Catholic and nerved fool like you. and you, my sont non-Cathloic elements throughout tho uam wow that I have the path to tho country. mines, now that I need him no longer.

The children slept and Betty and her companions moved restlessly from room to room. Had It not been for Johnny, Lrfirry'and sho might have been exchanging a thousand queries as to "when did you first begin to love me," and "dp you remember that time?" but as It was they tried to bo unselfish and make general conversation and, as is usual In such cases they only succeeded In hav ing everybody miserable, Johnny as well as themselves. Angry voices sounded from the corri dor. One, unmistakably that of Dn Malheureux, the other that of an older and a mode Irate man, They extinguished the lights, and Betty cautiously stealing to the door put her eye to the keyhole and her cat to the crack. Out in tho hall was Le Malheureux, with him a bent old man, white-haired and saffron-skin ned. The old man leaned totteringly on a staff. "I hate you, hate you, a thou sand times more than I ever have done before, oh wretched son I" ho shrilled. "Vile that you are!" "You cannot, father," Interrupted the harsh volco of Le Malheureux, In a sorrowful Intonation. "You have long Asbestos Fraud Charged.
