Suddenly she turned from him and
walked away. He followed with be

to hint that Agatha almost ran to the

CHAPTER XI
Peter Mlltnan received the tran
script ion Nits hhd made from her
rough notes without showing the tre
mendous eagerness that possessed him.
“You have done splendidly,” he said,
and then hesitated a little. " I am al
most afraid to read it."
“You need not be,” she said slowly.
"I think you will find that you have
saved your home.'*
“Then It is complete success?” he
cried.
•There Is still more to be done,''
she snld, “but I think we have suc-
ct-ded.” She could not bear to talk
any more.
In Ills library, Peter Mlltnan read
the document carefully. He saw ex
actly with what a deadly grip Paul
Raxon held McKImber.
But Peter
Mllntun was not yet In a position to
turn tills knowledge to account. So
far, McKImber was the sufferer in
that, whereas only one niaD had
known his secret, now It was shared
by many.
Mllntan thought of the
thing Impartially as though he were
an arbitrator and McKlmber’s case
had come before him. On one side,

himself, Barnes, Brudney, and Malet.
He persuaded himself that It was Jus
tice against Injustice, right against
wrong. He had brooded ton long over
the prospect of losing his home to
have any qualms left. He waited im
patiently until the hour when he ex
pected Bradney and Barnes. They
could not leave Great Rock until past
ten o'clock, and it was almost mid
night when he passed them Nlta's re

"There's a big wall-safe of a mod

Kohln wanted to find where Agatha
had gone.
Ills appeal to Sneed
brought no results. Then he thought
of De Gulllaln.
Robin had not hitherto liked this
man.. He had been Jealous of all who
seemed Intimate with the girl. Bui
he decided to make a clean breast
of It.
“I hnve asked Miss Brown t-J marry
me," he said quietly. "Yesterday It
seemed as though she loved me. This
morning, out on the links, she said she
hnd to go, and something had hap
pened which made everything Impos
sible. Perhaps she has heard things
about me that I could explain. Can't
you help me to find her?"
Malet did not answer Immediately
His first Impulse was to help young
McKImber.
But he remembered In

"Alas, that I cannot help you,” he
returned. "Madame la Duchesse de

the Department of the Loire I first
met Miss Brown, Is now traveling In
Tuscany.
Perhaps a cablegram ad
dressed to her might bring results."
“How do you spell her name?"
Kobin demanded.
A few minutes later he came face
to face with Mrs. Kaxon and asked
her bluntly how It was she had en
