To Mr. David Cable's," ordered
Bansemer, the father, complacently as
he stepped into the carriage after his
son.
CHAPTER VII.
AMES BANSEMER had
not recklessly rushed Into
Mrs. Cable's presence
with threats of exposure;
but, on the contrary, he
had calmly, craftily wait
ed. It suited his purpose to let her
wonder, dread aud dually develop the
trust that her secret was Bafe with
lilni. Occasionally he bad .visited the
Cable box ln the theater, not Infre
quently he bad dined with them in the
downtown cafes and at the bomes of
mutual acquaintances, but this was the
first time that James Bauseiner bad en
joyed the hospitality of Frances Ca
ble's home. His son, on the best of
terms with their daughter, was a fre
quent visitor there.
There was a rare bump of progres
slveness ln the character of Graydon
Bensemer. He was good looking
enough beyond doubt, and there was
a vast degje of personal magnetism
about him. It seemed but natural that
he should readily establish himself as
a friend and a favorite of the fair Miss
Cable. For some time James Ban
semer had watched his son's progress
with the Cable family, not once allow
ing his personal Interest to manifest
Itself. It was but a question of time
until Mrs. Cable's suspense and anxiety
would bring her to htm one way or an
other. Every word that fell from the
lips of his son regarding the Cables
held bis attention, and It was not long
before he saw the family history as
clearly as though It were an open book,
and he knew far more than the open
book revealed.
Frances Cable was not deluded by
his silence nud aloofness. But she whs
unable to devise means to circumvent
him. Constnnt fear of his power to
crush lurked near her day nnd night.
Conscious of her weakness, but eager
to have done with the strife, sometimes
she longed for the enemy to advance.
At first she distrusted and despised
the son, but his very fairness battered
down the barriers of prejudice, nnd
real admiration succeeded. Her hus
band liked him Immensely, nnd Jane
was his ablest ally. David Cable re
garded him as one of the brightest
young men on the stock exchange and
predicted that some day he would be

wnlor member of the firm of Clegg,
! "roll & Davidson. hl .mnlnr.ni nor.
sonaliy had recommended young Ban
seiner to Cable, and he was properly
impressed.
Oraydon's devotion to Jane did not
go unnoticed. This very condition
i-uuu.u nave assured Mrs. Cable that
James Bansemer had kept her secret
I zealously. There was nothing to Indi
cate that the young man knew the
j "ory of the foundling,

his words was quickly nullified by the
smile with which she was almost In
stantly favored. "Twenty years, I be
lieveit certainly came very near be
ing 'never,' " he went on, abruptly
changing from harsh to the sweetest of
tones. "N'o one could believe that you
you're simply wonderful:" and added
pointedly, "But your daughter Is even
more beautiful, If such is possible,
than ber her mother."
Apparently the Innuendo passed un
noticed. Iu reality, It required all her
courage to appear calm.
"How very nice of you," she said
Boftly. And looking him full In the
face, "Her mother thanks you for the
eompllment."
It was a brave little speech. Such
bravery would have softened a man of
another mold changed bis purpose.
Not bo with Bansemer. A sinister
gleam came into bis eyes, and his at
tack became more brutally direct.
"But the husband has he never mis
trusted?" The blow told, though her reply was
given with rippling laughter and for
the benefit of any chance listeners.
"For shame, Mr. Bansemer!" she
cried lightly. "After flattermg me so
delightfully you're surely not going to
spoil it nil?"
Despite his growing annoyance, ad
miration shone clearly from Banse
mer's eyes. His memory carried him
back some twenty years to the scene
ln his office. Was It possible, he was
thinking, that the charming woman
before him exercising so cleverly all
the arts of society, as If born to the
purple, and the light hearted, frivolous
little wife of the Central's engineer
were one and the same person? The
metamorphosis seemed Incredible.
Unwittingly his manner lost some of
Its aggressiveness, and the woman, per
ceiving the altered conditions, quick
to take advantage, resolved to learn If
possible his Intentions. Presently, go
ing right to the point, she asked:
"Is that extraordinary looking crea
ture you had In your office still with
you. Mr. Bansemer?"
"Extraordinary!" He laughed loud
ly. "He Is certainly that and more.
Indeed, the English language does not
supply us with an adjective that ade
quately describes the man."
The people nearest to them by this
time had moved away to another part
of the large drawing room. Practically
the couple were by themselves. She
had been thinking for a moment, rea
soning with a woman's logic that It
was always well to Imow one's enemy.
When she next spoke It was almost ln
a whisper.
"How much does that horrible man
know?"
"He Is not supposed to know any
thing," and then, with an enigmatical
smile, promptly admitted, "However,
I'm afraid that lie does."
"You have told blm? And yet you
promised nobody should know. How
could"
"My dear Mrs. Cable, he was not
told. If he has found out I could not
prevent his discovering the truth
through his own efforts," he interrupt
ed In a tone more assuaging than con
vincing to her. and then, hitching his
chair closer and lowering his voice a
uote, he continued: "The papers had
to be taken out. But you must not
worry about him. You can depend on
me."
"Promise me that you will make blm
I am so fearful of that awful" sha
broke off abruptly. Her fears were
proving too much for her, nnd she was
In Imminent danger of a complete
breakdown. All the veneer with which
she had bravely commenced the Inter
view had disappeared.
Bansemer endeavored to soothe br
with promises, but the poor woman
saw only his teeth In the reassurlnj
smile that he presented to her, togeth
er with the warnings that they we:
likely to be observed. With the hard
est kind of an effort she succeeded In
pulling herself together sufficiently to
bid good night to her hostess.
When Mrs. Cable reached home that
night It was with a full realization
that sh was Irrevocably committed
into the custody of these cold blooded
men.
They met again and again at the
homes of mutual friends, and she had
come to loathe the pressure of his band
when It clasped hers. One right he
eld her band long and firmly In his,
and while she shrank helplessly before
blm he even tenderly asked why she
had not Invited him Into her home. It
was what she had expected and feared.
Her cup of i.itternesa was filling rap-llly-too
ri',)ldly. "I Invitation to
dinner a fortnight later followed.
Jane Cable was radiant as she en
tered the drawing room shortly after
the arrival of the two Bansemers.
"It's quite like a family party. How
splendid," she said to (Iraydon, with 1
quick glance In the direction of James
Bansemer nnd David Cable, who f

plete breakdown,
ing room. She had taken more tlmo
than usual with her toilet. It was Im
possible for her to bide the fact that
the strain was telling on her percepti
bly. The face that looked back into
her eyes from the mirror on her dress
ing table was not the fresh, warm one
that bad needed so little care a few
short months before. There was a
heaviness alwut the eyes, and there
were strange, persistent lines gather
ing under the soft, white tissues of her
skin. But when she at last stepped
into the presence of her guests, with
ample apologies for ber tardiness, she
was the picture of life and nerve. So
much for the excellent resources of her
will.
Bansemer was the last to present
himself for her welcome, lingering ln
the background until the others had
passed.
"I'm so glad you could come. In
deed, it's a pleasure to" She spoke
clearly and distinctly as she extend
ed her hand, but as she looked square
ly Into his eyes she thought him the
ugliest man she ever had seen. Every
other woman in the party was saying
to herself that James Bansemer was
strikingly handsome.
"Most pleasures come late in life to
some of us," he returned gallantly, and
even Graydon Bansemer wished that
he could have said it
"Your father is a perfect dear," Jane
said to him softly. "It was not what
he said Just then that pleased me, but
what be left unsaid."
"Father's no end of a good fellow,
Jane. I'm glad you admire blm."
"You are not a bit like him," she
said reflectively.
"Thanks," be exclaimed. "You are
not very flattering."
"But you are a different sort of a
good fellow; that's what I mean. Don't
be absurd," she cried in some little
confusion.
"I'm like my mother, they say,
though I don't remember her at all."
"Oh, how terrible It must be never
to have known one's mother!" said she
tenderly.
"Or one's father," added James Ban
semer, who was passing at that in
stant with Mrs. Cable. "Iiease Include
the father, Miss Cable." he pleaded,
with mock seriousness. Turning to
Mrs. Cable, who had stopped beside
him, he added. "You, the most charm
ing of mothers, will defend tho fa
thers, won't you?"
"With nil my heart," she answered
so steadily that he was surprised.
"I will Include the father. Mr. Ban
semer." said Jane, "If it Is guaranteed
that he possibly could lie as nice and
dear as one's mother. In that case I
think it would be, oh. dreadfully terri
ble never to have known hi in."
"And to think, Miss Cable, of the
unfortunates who have known neither
father nor mother," said Bansemer
senior, slowly, relentlessly. "How
much they have missed of life nnd
love!"
"That can be offset somewhat by the
thought of the poor parents who never
have known a son or a daughter," said
Jane.
"How can tbey be parents, then?"
demanded Bobby Rlgby, coming up ln
time.
"Go away, Bobby," ihe said scorn
fully. "That's a nice way to treat logic," he
grumbled, ambling on ln quest of Miss
Clegg.
"The debate will become serious If
you continue." said Mrs. Cubic lightly.
"Come along. Mr. Bansemer. Mrs.
Craven Is waiting."
When they were across the room and
lione she turned a white face t him
nd remonstrated bitterly, "Ok, that

CHAPTER VIII.
OBBY R1GBY and Gray
don Bansemer were bos
om friends ln Chicago;
they had been classmates
at Yale. It had been a
question of money with
Bobby from the beginning. According
to his own admission, his money was
a source of great amioyauce to blm.
He was not out of debt but once aud
then before he fully realized It. So un
usual was the condition that be could
not sleep. The first thing he did In the
morning waa to borrow right nnd left
for fear another attack of Insomnia
might luterfere with his training for
the football eleven.
Robertson Ray Rlgby, immortalized
as Bobby, bad gone in tor athletics,
where ho learned to think and act
quickly. He was called one of the
lightest but headiest quarterbacks lu
the east. No gridiron Idol ever escaped
his "Jimmy" or "Toppy or "Pop" or
"Johnny." When Dually ho hung out
hia shingle Iu Chicago "Roliertson R.
Rlgby, Attorney at Law" he lost his
identity even among bis classmates. It
was weeks before the fact became gen
erally known that It was Hobby who
waited for clients behind the deceptive
shingle.
The Indulgent aunt who had supplied
him with funds ln college was rich In
business blocks and apartment build
ings, and now Mr. Roliertson It. Rigby
was her man of affairs. When he went
ln for business, the old push of the
football field did not desert, lilni. tie
was very much alive and very vigor
ous, nnd it did not take him long to
"learn the signals."
With his aunt's unfaltering prosper
ity, his own ready wit and unbridled
versatility he was not long lu estab
lishing himself safely ln his profession
and ln society. Everybody liked blm,
though no one took him seriously ex
cept when they came to transact busi
ness with him. Thon the wlttiness of
the drawing room turned Into shrewd
ness as It crossed the office threshold.
The day after the Cable dinner Bob
by yawned and stretched through his
morning mall. . He had slept but little
tho night before, and all on account of
a certain, or rather uncertain. Miss
Clegg. That petite and aggravating
young woman had !on especially ex
asperating at the Cable dinner. Mr.
Rlgby, superbly confident of hia stand
ing with her, encountered difficulties
which put him very much out of tem
per. For the first time there was an
apparent rift lu hor constancy. Never
before had she shown such signs of
ttiiutuatlng. He could not understand
It in fact, he dared not understand It.
"She was a most annoying young per
son," said Mr. Rlgby to himself wruth-
fully more than ouce after he went to
bod that night. Anyhow, ho could not
see what theru was about Howard
Medford for any girl to countenance,
much loss to ndinlre. Mr. Medford cer
tainly had ruined tho Cable dinner par
ty for Mr. Rlgby, nud ho was full of
resentment.
"Miss Keating," called Mr. Rlgby for
the third time, "may 1 Interrupt your
conversation with Mr. Denver long
enough to ask a question that has been
on my mind for twenty minutes?"
Sir. Deever wns the raw young gen
tleman who en'd law lu the office of
Judge Smith next door. Bobby main
talned that If heead law at all It was
at night, for he waa too busy with otu
or occupations during the day.
Miss Keating, startled, turned round
iiwiit promptly. "Y'es, sir," at Inst
came from the pert young woman near
the window.
"I guess I'll Iw going." said Mr. Dee
ver resentfully, rising slowly from tho
side of hor desk on which he had been
lounging.
"Walt a minute, Eddie," protested
Miss Keating. "What's your hurry?"
And then she almost snapped out.
"What is . Mr. Itlgby?"
"I merely wanted to ask If you have
sufficient time to let me dictate a rcw
short letters that ought to go out to
iiav" said Bobby sarcastically. And
then added with mock apology: "Drat
move, Mr. Deever. If you're not lo
Miss Heating's way, you're certainly
not in mine."
"A gront Joshcr!" that young woman
was heard to comment admiringly.
"You msy wake up some morning to
find that I'm not." said Bobby soliorly.
Whemiimn Miis Keating rose aud
ttfnal to the other end of the room ni'd
toot her place beside Hobby's desk.
Bobby dictated half a dozen Ineonse
quwitlid letters before coming to 1 lie
one w him i troubled ,,lln most. For
many minutes ho Blared reflectively at
the typewritten message from Now

and tap-d her llttlu foot siiinhnt
