Thia romance deals with a
curious admixture of American
plainness and European high
life; with a young Indiana girl
daxaled by a title and in the
clutches of a quartet of sharp­
ers headed by an impecunious
British peer; with the girl's An­
glomaniac brother, a Russian
noble in disguise, an escaped
Russian convict and a faithless
wife, and, most important of all,
with the girl's shrewd, witty,
courageous, resourceful guard­
ian, Daniel Voorhees Pike of
Kokomo. Daniel loves the In­
diana girl and is determined to
save her from the sharpers even
against her own will. Read and
you will learn how Daniel, with
but a single Jriend to aid him,
faced a most difficult dilemma
and why he figured so promi­
nently in an international ro­
mance in which heraldry was
more important than hearts and
cupidity far more conspicuous
than Cupid.

“Of course it’s to, uianf* replied the
other, shuklng him vigorously by the
shoulder. "Wake up. can’t you? It'a
worth fifteen thousand a year to you!”
Pike turned quizzicul eyes upou bis
friend and folded the letter be hehi in
LU band.
“Much obliged to you, Tom,” he said.
“I guess I’m kind of upset today. Got
a letter here that—jolted me a little.
I’m thinking of goiug away for a
apelL”
“Going away!" ejaculated his friend
with wide eyes.
“Going away!
Where?”
“1 guess I’ll take a trip across the
water.” replied Pike dreamily. “Al-
ways wanted to see those foreign
parts, those Venices and Romes and
Londons. Must be a queer tribe over
there, Tom. Not much like us plain
folks here, eh? Lots of high and
mighty dukes and earls and things and
coats of arms and crowns and coaches
with white horses, eh?”
Tom Perkins sat down in a chair
with a gasp of astonishment, He
stared at his friend witli frank amaze
ment written on his face and opened
his mouth twice before his lips formed
the words.
“Europe!” he said at last.
"Europe,” he replied. “Say, Tom,
you remember Jim Cooley? They sent
Jim over there, didn't they? Made
him vice consul or something over in
London? I’d maybe get a chance to
see Jim and talk to him about—about
old tlmeB.”
His voice died down, and he regarded
the wall again.
“Never huppetied to hear of folks
over there of the name of—of Haw­
castle, did you, Tom?" he went on. “I
don’t know what sort of business they
are in, but 1 guess they’re well to do.
Never happened to hear of them, eh?”
Perkins shook his head, and Pike
went on:
“Maybe I’ll write to Jim Cooley and
ask him about these people. Jim 'd be
likely to know ’em, I guess. Vice con­
sul must be a pretty big bug over

On the veranda sat the big man with
th«* heavy features and the corncob

was a call to some one within, and a
woman emerged with it white bundle

“Show her to Dan,” he lieu rd the

j woman had removed a bit of the tian-

tie had looked upon it, startled, abashed
1 and marvelously choking as to the
throat, the big voice went on again:
“She's going to tie Ethel, Dan, that
, bundle of infancy. And maybe some
of these days she’ll be getting herself
in a tiglit place, and it's going to be up
to you, Dan, to help her out, and
you’re going to promise me that you’ll

fade away, and. like a dissolving view.
Its place was taken by another-the

required promise and the awe with
which he heard that the newest atom
of humanity to arrive was already
motherless, and then the picture faded
again. Then came a succession of sim­
ilar views.
Ho saw the dingy reul estate office
grow Into a respectable brick building,
and then into a handsome stone edifice,
and the heavy featured man turn
grayer and grayer and more somber
and more hardworking, and he could
remember the day when the tiny Ethel
was brought to the office for the first
time and of the manner In which she
began to grow up. He recalled the day
when she reached the mature age of
twelve and of how he had presented
to her a Bible for a gift and of the
manner In which he had blushed for
all his twenty-five years.
And then be recalled the day when
John Simpson had confided to him
that the “kids" were to tie given ad-
vantages and were to lie sent abroad
to school. There came a blunk after
that, but he recalled as if It hud been
but yesterday the feeling with which
he had gone off into a corner and
wrestled with the grief that had beset
him. He could even see the fluttering
hand that waved to him from the car
window as the train took her and her
brother away.
Suddenly the door behind him opened
nml shut quickly, and quick steps
caused him to drop his feet to the
floor He turned and found a visitor
nt his elbow.

“Law case?” asked Perkins suddenly.
“Bort of,” answered Pike quietly. “I
don’t know that I’d call it Just that.
Perhaps the trip would be a change
, anyway. And I’d like to see this man
Hawcaatle.”
“Where does this Hawcastle live?”
ask«*d Perkins.
"England. Got a house he calls
Hawcastle Hall.”
"What about the K. and G.?’’ asked
Perkins suddenly.
“I guess the K. and G. will have to
wait awhile."
Perkins stood up resolutely and faced
1 his friend.
"There’s something wrong with you,
| Dan,” he said emphatically, “There’s
something mighty wrong.
It ain’t
like you to go running off this way un­
less there's something behind it.”
He stopped, for Pike was whistling
softly to himself, whistling like the
man who is striving to recall some
tune that Is only half forgotten. Then
he turned to Perkins.
"Remember that old tune, Tom,” he
asked ■"’Sw«*et Genevieve?’"
“Get out!" snapp«*d Perkins. "That's

the Central

with the steru features and the kindly
gray pyes that always aeemed a perpet
ual rebuke to the face iu which thej
were set ruminated over the letter he
held in his hand. His back was to the
door—a half glass door which was also
the main and only entrance to the
room and which bore upon its trans
lucent surface in ragged letters, worn
by the polishing the glass had under

J’lke himself bad a queer twist of
feature, a sort of whimsicality that
pervaded the very atmosphere about
him, and the smile with which he re­
garded the letter lie held had a world
of reminiscence and sadness In ft.
As he gazed at it the letter seemed
to fade into nothingness, and in its
place there rose the picture of a day
years before, a day thflt caused the
dingy walls of th«* office to becora«*
tenuous and gauzy, and through the
gauze he seemed to see another office—
a ramshackle sort of place, with a tin
sign showing through the window
which informed the passerby that real
estate was the commodity dispensed
within. To Pike the picture grew yet
more distinct, and in the broken hot-
{pm cgne chair he saw the figure of a
heavy faced man |n his shirt sleeves
engaged in smoking a corncob pli>e.
In another corner of the room he
could see a red beaded boy poring over
a pine table, laliorlously copying in a
round baud some title d«*eds. Then,
through the reaches of the past, be
seemed to hear the heavy faced man
