(Continued from page 3.) TelJ, w bar bad a great tlroa here. I'll just tell you what happened. and men you 'II understand better than I do, probably. In the first place, tliert was tue big storm, a tropical delugw of rain beginning In th mlddla of a win ter's night. I thought that our boose would be awept away or melted Ilk augar, and In the morning I was by n j meaaa surprised to learn that the roof had leaked and that the water bad run down through the celling of Aunt Ma ria's room. She slept so soundly that an anew Dotting about It Oil morning. "Tb garret waa a wreck, for the wa fer bad played peculiar pranks around on of the flilmneys and bad washed cut a great lot of soot A river black as tb rUyx flowed across the floor and elliptic! itwif in a aerie of graceful waterfalls down the garret stairs. "Deri bad to go straight to the oZot, and I was left alone to face the situa tion. I scut the rook Into the garret with a mop and dispatched the maid to fetch a carpenter who had don consid erable work for us and waa such a Jovial, harmless fellow that be hardly seemed to fall under tb ban Imposed because of Aunt Maria's peculiarities. Indeed, I described him to her, and sbe made no objection to hla eoming. 'What does the fellow do but bring an assistant, a ratjaced creature cal culated to excite suspicion even la to trustful a heart as mine. Aunt Mala was In. th ball upstairs when the men came, and so soon as her eyes felt upon Mr. Hatty she fled. And here's the amazing jmrt of It: The man ran after her. Ho chased bcr through her room and P-crt" rnd mine and out Into the bull nsiiln. She tried to get down the stairs, tut tLe curpnt-r and I were In tho wny, no hIio could only flee aloft. Up the garret stairs she flow wltb sur prising n'!lty, nnd Mr. Ratty still pur sued bcr. I could do nothing but screnni In n Ktlfled voice, while the stupid carpenter stood petrified. At the bead of the garret stairs wn flic cook with her mop. It was soaked with Nooty water. Atut Maria seized it, nnd as Mr. Ratty came bounding tip tl.tj stalrt she thrust It hard into bis face. lie fell backward to tbo bottom, nnd I thought Lo must be dead, but he struggled to hi feet ami then sank tdowly lown to the floor again and lay still. "I rau to his assistance, half fright ened out of my wits, and my state ac counts for my action that has won me me been explained to me. Of TSotse tne woman wasn't Aont Maria at alL There Isn't any Aunt Maria. Our guest waa the private secretary of Schuyler Bodley, fie treat financier, who la the brains of our whol outfit,' as Bert ays. 171 sre Is a lawsuit for millions. I don't luideraUnd all the facta or know wh la In the right, but It ap pear! that Mr. Bodley mad a terrible lot of tocney by. selling some itocka which wer not worth anything. And there's another man who bad the privi lege of se. llng some, but be didn't do It quickly enough. So be naturally want Mr. Bodley to divide wltb him. but Mr. Bodley won't do it la that clear! Anyhow, the second man wanted to err a paper on the private secretary. woo Know an Mr. BoaW secrets. Ana no wonder she take a serious view of life. The paper. would hare compelled ber to go to court to testify. So sbe had to bide, and Bert brought ber here. The danger la over now, and she baa gone to work again and Uvea at borne. But Mr. Bodley la very grateful to Bert and baa promoted him. and I bare received from a stock broker whom I never heard of before a certified check for $10,000, with let ter saying that It la the profit on my purchase of something or other that I never dreamed of buying. . Bert aya I may honestly keep the money, because w all ran a chance of going to Jail In this affair, and that' why be didn't tell m in the first place who th woman really waa. He wanted to keep me out of trouble If be could. That waa very sweet of him, but It's all so strange. I doo't think 1 shall ever come to under atand anything about bualnesa." TRAVELERS' GUIDE.
