happenings took place In th houa of

at unearthly hour of th night and
mlssllea flew through th air In th
most mysterious manner and on on
occasion a brick from th chimney
struck the old man and nearly ended
hla earthly existence. Ill wife was
tried and convicted of being a witch
and sentenced to be hanged. A neigh
bor suspected boy, the old man's
grandson, and In telling th aged man
he could determine the cause, hinted
he had knowledge of astrology and
astronomy, 'Suspicion of witchcraft
fell on him and he waa tried and es
caped conviction only when another

"Hut," he Informed her In a firm
tone a he banded her th check, "If

you will be dealt with, Miss Bchwenck

you will like!" ,
"I'm afraid, Mr. Crelghton, I'll have
trouble cashing this and It would put
you In auch a funny light, giving tlv
thousand dollars to such a dun gor
ously alluring girt as I am apparently I
If you've the real money about you"
He had been wondering whether ah
would prov so sophisticated aa to
renllz that H had no Intention,
really, of letting her leave the room
with that check.
"You or Indeed 'experienced,' Miss
Bchwenckton, for on so young!" h
said Ironically aa he took back tho
check and gav her roll of bills ten
five-hundred dollar notes.
And It was at Inn very moment of
her receiving these that again the
sound of a cur stopping outside Inter
mitted them.
"He's com back again," aald Mr.
Crelghton bitterly, "In th hope that
by thla time I'd be gone I You have
played your game well!"
"And thla time," ah answered
blithely, her head bent to listen,
"though . your car la still there, he
doesn't eem to b driving away
agnln."
Little did they dream that the first
car that had stopped and then driven
on had carried away Mrs. Crelghton,
who, th moment ah had recognised
her husband'a car parked nearby, had
been atartllngly convinced that Mar
vin' fantaatlc tusplclons of a plot
between his father and Lady Sylvia
Bt Croix was not after all fantastic!
For what else In the world could bring
her husband to the schoolhouse?
She had decided, after a moment'
debating with herself, not to Intrude
upon their conference. She would let
