"I was not aware of it 1"
"I tell you," his father Indignantly
insisted, "you needn't try to humbug

watting for you!"
Marvin looked perplexed. "Well,
It you did, why on earth ahould you
(apparently) be blaming me for thatr
"When I show you what I have

from bis breast pocket a folded paper.
Mealy broke In:
"Now that you are here, Mr. Mar
vin, will you be so kind as to drive
me to the nearest telegraph office?
I've got to wire some money to my
seedy parents and It's pressing."
Tm at your service," Marvin, look
ing more and more bewildered, re
sponded, taking her coat from a hook
on the wall as ahe atarted to reach
for ft. and holding It while ahe slipped
Into It
"B-but," bis father stammered, flush

Tesr she Inquired. "What about
"What about It I Tour signed prom
ise to make no demands on my son"
"But I wouldn't suppose my asking
him to take me to the express office
to cable telegraph to my family a bit
of money I've acquired would come
under the 'demands' referred to In
that paper, would It?"
"In the very hour of your signing
this paper and accepting that money
you dare to go off driving with my
son!"
"What on earth V asked Marvin,
their demeanor and conversation not
only not bearing out hla supposition.
but suggesting a very different state
of things.
"Look at this!" bis father ex
claimed, thrusting the paper at him.
"Read that I And then decide wheth
er you want to go off driving with that
girl!"
Marvin, feeling dizzy, read the few
sentences on the paper signed "Amelia
Schwenckton."
"But what. In God's name. Is It all
about? What sort of 'demands' la she
swearing not to make on me" He
stopped short, a staggering Idea flash
ing upon him. "You must mean St
Croix I" lie turned to the girl "Does
this refer to St Croix r
"I don't know!"
"Too don't know !" cried Mr. Crelgh
ton. "Why," be exclaimed, "are ypu
both trying to aaddle St, Croix with
a thing be has nothing to do with?
As If I'd ever have to buy off a girl

"Are you boylng off Mlsa Sehwenck
tJoa from marrying me?" laughed Mar
vin, and as he spoke he tore the paper
Into bits and scattered them on the
floor.
"What makes you think. Father,
that tucb desperate measures ss this
are necessary for my protection
against even so dangerous a person as
Miss Schwenckton?"
"And anyway," the girl spoke In,
Tm resigning. Please find a teacher,
Mr. Marvin, for my school, will you?

"Father I Why on earth are you
driving her away? There's absolutely
nothing between as and"
" Dangerous person' Is right Mar

given that girl five thousand dollars

"I don't believe It; I cried Marvin
sharply.

"He might tear them up as he did
your piece of paper I" ahe demurred,
showing no least embarrassment or
shame. "It's not a bribe, Mr. Marvin,"
she explained, "It's a loan, which I
shall pay back as soon as I've earned
It at Hollywood. Tour father seemed
so anxious to believe that I was luring
you to your ruin and so eager to buy
me off you that I hadn't the heart to
disappoint him; especially as I'm In

fore either Marvin or his father could

from the room.

door and standing against it
"Don't muke a d d fool of your:

"Stop calling her nnmeat You're

you don't You've too much money and
she hasn't enough. You held It out to
her and ahe grabbed It I don't blame
her I What started you on such a wild
chase as this? What on earth put It
Into your head that I was courting

"Her accepting the bribe was an
admission of It I It you'd marry a girl
that would take a bribe"
"You thrust It on her she needed

"Do you deny being In love with

"I wasn't sure until lust now! But
a girl with pluck enough to cheek you,
Father, and grab while the grabbing

long breath and turned away, Bis face
suddenly gloomy and sullen, "you
needn't worry I I wouldn't marry an

prefer a permanent arrangement In
marriage. Let me out please."
"Marvin!" Ills father's tone waa
suddenly gentle. "Give up this fool

mother Is unhappy, having you away.

Marvin assttated. "I can't turn

"Even If I decide to marry a county
teacher?"
"We can deal with that contingency

."All right then." '
The two men left the schoothoase
together.
Mr. Crelghton took St Croix to task
for bis misleading description of the
school teacher.
"How you ever got the Idea that
she waa Illiterate, common"
"But ahe Is!"
"We can't possibly be talking of the
aame person!"
"The person I'm talking of la Miss
Schwenckton, the teacher of William
Penn school, the niece of the farmer,

waa taken from me!"
"I don't understand It at all r com

that the girl accepted a bribe from
me, rd call ber a thoroughbred P
The puzzle seemed Insolvable.
Meantime, Marvin was feeling by no
means so lenient toward Miss
Schwenckton's accepting that money
from his father as he had pretended.
In spite, however, of the alck recoil
be felt from ber for departing with
that five thousand dollars, the sight
of her school house when he drove past
It now occupied by ber efficient In
formed and uninteresting successor,
gave blm a pang that every day grew
sharper; a restless longing that was
In danger of Increasing to an Insa
tlable hunger.
St Croix, meantime, had Just about
reached a stage where be was ou the
point of defying prudence and trying
to aee Meely once more; and Marvin
waa contemplating the probable folly
and futility of his asking his board for
a leave of absence to go to Hollywood,
when a cablegram which their mother
received Just at this time from Eng
land diverted them somewhat from
their absorption In their own misery.
The cablegram was from Mrs.
Crelghton's cousin. Sir John Kt Croix,
announcing that hla daughter. Baron

v!n that he leave him a clear Held.
"I can at least aafely promise you,"
said Marvin, "that I'll keep out of It

"she turus yon down."
CHAPTER X
As St Croix' longing fur Meely was
never for a moment associated In his
mind with the Idea of marriage, It
did not In the least dampen the test
wttb which he went to New York to
meet as he confidentially hoped and
believed bis prospective bride. This
would be a marriage so exactly to bis
taste 1 allied to an oli English fam
ily of rank, administering a distin
guished old estate that for generations
had been In the family,
Hla experience wtth girls gave him
no reason to doubt that he would And
favor with his noble kinswoman. Ho,
It was with a complacent self-conn-denre
that well-groomed and clad In
hla amarteat clothes, be stood oo the
wharf on the afternoon of the arrival
of the Berengarla and with tense ex
pectation watched the passengers Bis
past him down the gang plank hla
eyes searching for a young girt with a
handkerchief on her left wrist
He did hope ahe would be good-looking
It would be an awful wet blan
ket If ahe turned out to be Ill-favored;
though nothing short of an actual
hump would stop him. A man could
of course seek his consolations out
side bis home
It did not occur to him, naturally,
that his wife might have need of con
solations and compensations.
Looking for a wrist bound with a
handkerchief proved to be rather a
maddening business. Wrists could be
examined only aa the passengers
passed close before him, while fares
could be scanned halfway op the
gangplank.
A procession of men and. elderly
women sent his gaze far op the plank
In search of more yoong people when
auddenly bis eye waa caught by a
lovely face at the top of the long slope
which struck blm ss vaguely familiar
yet unfamiliar, too, In Its vivacious
expression, Its Intelligence, Its deli
cacy. Surely be had seen that face
somewhere before though the poise
of an exquisite amall head, the general
look and air of a thoroughbred, the
modish style of the young woman,
were not familiar.
Why I 8he looked like Meely
Schwenckton I How strange and how
absurd! At least her features did
extraordinarily like! yet so widely
different too, with that vivid, Intelli
gent countenance, proudly arched
little head, graceful bearing and of
course her neatly arranged hair, styl
ish clothing. But good G d, how like
Meely ahe looked I
"Am I seeing things?" be wondered,
bla heart beating thickly.
So rloso she passed him by that her
arm brushed bis and ber eyes looked
for an Instant straight Into bis but
not the trembling of a lash nor the
least quiver of ber Hps suggested that
ahe had ever seen him before, as she
walked on to mingle with the crowd
leaving blm bewildered, confounded,
with a weird doubt and uncertainty
when auddenly, as bis gaze followed
her, she lifted her hand to atralghten
ber hat which In the crowd had beeo
pushed askew and he saw, with a
wild bounding of bis heart that her
wrist was tied .op with a handker
chief I
In an Instant he was at her side
and had aelzed her hand the con
fusion of his mind so great that all his
usual self -confidence was lost In a
floundering muddle. He had been so
sure of himself, of bis ability to Im
press favorably even a sophisticated
English aristocrat with bla ease and
sang-froid and be was painfully
aware that no country bumpkin could
have been more awkward.
