When Mr. Corrlgan left the telephone
he found that Harriet and Imogene
had gone upetalra. Tan latter young
lady had been unable to re train her
emotions longer, and in the seclusion
of her chamber she gave vent to every
peclea of pyrotechnic despair to which
the tender age of nineteen la subject
Miss Itenwyck was the busiest Samari
tan on record, and her ministrations to
the stricken one made a word with
Richard out of the question for the
present
Mr. Van drr Awe perceived that his
Inamorata v. a profoundly agitated,
but why be could not Imagine. There
fore he pace I solemnly up and down
the hall, lool.lng more like a funeral
director than ever. Richard sat on the
front porch, smoking one cigarette aft
er another fnrlously, when Mr. Corrl
gan came out and accosted him.
"Ilello, you- lordahlpl What la your
British opinl n on hornets' nests In
general 7"
"The lnma e thereof come at you
endwise and nil at once," observed the
young man grimly. "In my humble
opinion tblni a are going to wake up
presently."
"Rlghtr laughed the merry little
lawyer with what Richard could not
but feel was III timed merriment "My
esteemed brother-in-law Is fairly boll
lug. He's on his way out here now
with two policemen. I'm glad you're
not mlied up In this particular phase
of the comedy, Dicky, boy. Yon have
somewhat of a load to carry as It Is."
"Umt" grunted Richard, staring ab
sently at the gravel path.
Mr. Corrlgan eyed him' suspiciously
nd started away. Richard was about
to ask permission to accompany hint.
Intending again to lay bare his heart
to bis eounsel, but at that Instant bis
attention was arrested In an entirely
different direction,
Woolsey Bills was coming toward
hliu from the direction of the railroad
station.
CHAPTER XX.
THE adventurer allowed Mr. Cor
rlgan to walk away without
offering any further remark,
then waited patiently for bis
servant to reach the porch.
"Good mornln', yoar lordship." said
Bills, with a look of guileless Inno
cence which made the Teian long to
throttle him on the spot
Richard regarded blrn earnestly,
striving to read tbe secrets of his soul,
but came to the conclusion that the
servant had no soul. Inasmuch as the
face before him was as placid aa that
of a slumbering babe.
"Itilla," be said In his sternest tone,
"come upstairs. There Is a matter
which we must settle now at once."
Contrary to his expectations, the
servant did not flinch, but followed
him meekly to tbe upper floor. Once
tnaldo the room, the Texan looked the
door and turned on his companion
savagely.
"Now, my man, Just give an account
of yourself, and be quick about It!"
Richard had flung himself Into the
morris chair, while the valet stood be
fore him. uorvoiialy shifting his feet
anil picking at the brlin of his hat
"M' lord" Richard cut III in short
"Prop that! Till Is no time for in
fernal iioumvunv! Well?"
"Yob, lr. Thank you, sir," Kills tsj
gun ti kiiI n, though the tnak to which
he had evidently nerved himself was
proving larger than he at Hist sup
posed. "Mr. William, sir, I done
wrong. 1 know that. An' 1 come
back to tell you all about It sir. an'
awak your pardon, sir. if you'll I) so
good."
"I.cuve the trimming out nnd get
down lo fuels!" smipcd Hlclinrd. with
unconcealed Impatience. "You sneak
ill i'lT Inst night without permission
Wli) ;"
"Because." confessed tile valet, Willi
n Kiiilden spurt of courage -"because I
I'orgot, sir, nn. I drank your brandy up
again. Mr Williams, air. Honest, lr,
'ead for anythlnk. Go back to blm.
Bills.' says I. -an' tell Mm 'ow it 'ap
pened. 'E's a kindly disposed gentle
man with a sweet forgivin' nature an'
won't 'old it agl'n you that you was
afeared of 'is terrible pistol. Mr. Wil
liams, sir.' "
Tl'mr sniffed Richard. "What was
your other reason for coming back?"
Tbe servant shifted uneasily, turned
bis bat round and round in his nerv
ius bands and apparently decided to
keep back nothing.
"Yes, sir," be began again; "I 'ad
another reason. I fancied If I come
back your lordship er I mean Mr.
WUlshlp no. beg pardon Mr. Wil
liams, sir that you would pay me wot
yon promised me, w'lcb Is better than
itarvln' to death In Noo York without
no character, nieanlu' no offense an'
iwskln' you not to be angrier than you
can 'elp. I slep' reatleas, Mr. Williams,
lr. Then I come back. That's all."
"Is It?" asked Richard dryly.
"Yes. sir," answered the valet with
profound soleuiulty. "as Gawd la look
In' at us both, me a-standln' an' you
a-sittln down, m' lord."
Tbe Texau arose and took several re
flective turns up and down tbe room.
Then be paused and stood with his
bands In his pockets and his legs
apart
Bills." he said. "I'm going to pay
you a compliment Without an excep
tion you're the biggest liar between
New York and Ran Antonio. It's a
long stretch, my friend, and I'm not a
flatterer."
Bills stared at hltu sadly, reproach
fully, but made no answer. Richard
continued:
"Of course I didn't see you when
yon left that Is. with my own eyes
and I didn't see you when you got off
the train awhile ago, but Just tbe same
I have a chain of evidence which I
trust will refresh your memory. When
I employed you, you came to me with
the following recommendations: 'Dis
charge blm at once. He's a thief. Tbe
last time It was 2 Cd. and my Jeweled
cigar cutter. His friend. Mr. Drake
of Scotlwnd Yard. Is also Inquiring for
his address.' So much for your char
acter as Indorsed by your former mas
ter. If I hadn't been, as you aptly
express It 'a bloomln' ass.' I would
have spared myself the mortification
of slating the fact I didn't discharge
you and must take the consequences.
But let us proceed. Next you tried to
blackmail nie for the purpose of ex
torting 300 from one who bad treated
you squarely. Item three: Both MUs
Renwyck and I saw you In whispered
conversation with a with a cock eyed
tramp who was going out of the front
gate. Ry the way, what was It you
said to hltu?"
Bills looked uncomfortable.
" 'E awaked me for money, sir, an'
I told Mm to go about 'is business, air."
Richard wheeled upon the man sharp
ly. "You He. Bills! You told me at the
time that he asked directions to tbe
station."
"Yes, sir." answered Woolsey. flush
ing to hi ears. "I did lie the drat
time. sir. I I didn't want to seem
uncharitable Inclined."
The Texan sneered and turned upon
his heel. After another contempla
tive turn up and down he once more
faced the culprit
"Look here. Hills; I haven't finished
with i on ji l 1 have only told you
the lightest part of It. After failing
to gouge money out of me yon bold
conversation with a suspicious charac
ter and acknowledge that you told a
He concerning It. Next you disnpiear,
claiming lo go to New York at a time
when no trains were running For
the present we'll accept the story of
the freight, but can look that part up

York! W'y. It don't stand to reason,
sir, that I'd come back 'ere ImmeJItly
if I'd done It 'Deed, sir. It don't
stand to any sort o' reason."
"It does." flashed Richard. "You
thought I'd swallow that cock aud
bull story of yours and be grateful for
the dose. Why, you fool, the pill Is as
big as a football. We'll drop absurdi
ty now and get down to business. Can
you get those diamonds back?"
In vain Bills groveled at his mas
ters feet protesting his innocence with
sobs and tears. It was no nse. The
evidence against blm was too clear,
and. while Richard himself was tbe
real culprit la allowing tbe man to re
main at Rest more at all, still, if be
ever hoped to recover the stolen prop
erty, he must hold on like grim death
to the bird In band.
He put poor Bills through a sort of
tblru degree, but without results fur
ther than copious tears and more copi
ous protestations. Finally, his patience
exhausted utterly, he took the terrilled
valet by tue collar and dragged him to
the door of the bathroom.
"Co In there!" he commanded in a
low, tense tone, which was fur more
terrible to Bills than any shout l bad
ever heard. "Oo In. 1 any, and stay
there until I come for you. If you try
lo escape, by heaven. I ll kill you! It
Isn't a Joke tills time It's the word of
a gculicinan trom Texas!"
The servant knew that his master
told the truth, so he sink down upon
the bare, cold tiles, where he lay in
limp distraction until such a time as
the terrible Texan came to pronounce
his doom
