Her fortune vanished or at least that part of it with which the bad planned to make her father aod mother happy in their declining years. A moment of alienee and then Peggy looked up, anxious for fur tther .details. "W,ben did you discover this, Mr. ChaseV" nimn i was malting an an. pralsall of the estate for my report to me .prooete court. Bo that you will understand, perhaps I better Btart at the beginning. "As I toll you when I saw you In New York, your uncle was a very wealthy man. When be re tired, be placed a small fortune In building and furnishing this place. After it was built, he turned all other real estate holdings Into negotiable securities. These he put into a lock bor in his vault In the Guarantee Trust company In New York. I was not only present but an official of the bank, the vice president to be exact, was present also. "Well?" questioned Peggy; her throat felt dry and parched. "Go on, please." "Prescotl's fortune waa esti mated, then, and we have a list of the securities, at more than 11,000,000. ' "Thursday, In the presence of an oniclal from the registrar of wills ofllce, and the vice-president of the bank, I opened the safe deposit box and foundnot one security not so mucn as anime. Peggy eyed Chase In despair. "But," sfje exclaimed, "Uncle must have nit the securltlea in an other bank." "His will, Miss Prescott, states that In that box would be found all his earthly possessions,' broke in Chase, "and the will, remember, waa drawn up two months before bis death." "Out then, some tone must have broken Into the box gained access to It In some way by trickery forgery," as Chase shook his head. "Utterly impossible," be declared, with disheartening firmness. "A thief could as well break into the Rock of Gibraltar as get Into a safe deposit box in the vaults of that company. Besides," he paused and took an envelope from his pocket: from It be withdrew a slip of paper. "This paper was lying in Prescott's box all that It contained. Read It, Miss Prejcott. Peggy stared at her uncle's legible handwriting: "The Lord glveth, and the Lord tnkoth away: blessed be the name. of the Lord." ti no repeated me quotation In a hushed voice. "Oh, Mr. Chase, what does It mean?" she asked. "Was Uncle T" "Mud? I presume so." He looked at her pityingly. "I was most reluctant to tell you this" "Oh, but It was right to do so," quickly. "1" she swallowed hard. "It's hard to comprehend." "Surely; to bave a fortune slip away," he sighed. "It's devilish tough. Miss Prescott." Peggy closed ber eyes; Chase must not, should not see the blind ing tears. Oh, the man did not know how dreadful It waa; her plans for her father her Invalid mother and Jim. Chase's voice came to her from far off what waa that he was saying? Gamely, dospcratoly, ahe pulled horeolf to-golhor. Theros no telling what your uncle did with the securities," be bognn; "thrown them In the river given them away piecemeal to churches; you know he went dippy on religion after his wife's death." I wasn't aware of It. Poor Uncle IIorborL" She drew a long, long breath. "Is there no way to trace the securities?" "t'vo called In Plnkerton detec tives," answered Chase. "We plan n consultation with the bank offi cials on Monday I'd like you to be In Now York then." "Oh, but I can't leave here for more than an hour, until after the sovontoenth of June," she ex claimed. "If I do, Jamlesoa Sin clair Inherits Yew Lodge.- . i Chase regarded her dubiously. "1 believe any court would excuse your absence on such an errand," he explained patiently, "and that It would not Invalidate your claim to the Inheritance under the will, which, if your uncle was mad, would be set aside anyway." Peggy stared at him. "And who would Inherit then?" "Your uncle's next of kin" "That's father," interrupted Peggy; she hesitated. "You are sure the property would not go to Commander Sinclair if the will was set aside or broken?" "Quite sure; Sinclair Is Prescott'a wife's relative, and she oredeceasel her husband." Chase rose with some abrupt ness. "However, before I send for you on Monday and I'll phone the ex act hour of the meeting that after noon In time for you to reach the trust company I will consult an eminent lawyer, G. H. Blair, regard ing your uncle's will and ask If your absence tor such a cause will Jeopardize your Inheritance. Now I must go." Can't you wait for supper? Julia. m7 maia, win be back shortly." Your maid la out?" Chase put the question with quick, nervous twist of bis bead, tie arew a step nearer, a queer gleam in bla eyes. "Miss Prescott, I Bang, went the knocker- on the front door a second time its im perative aummons echoed through tne house before Peggy recovered sufficiently from her surprise to answer it. Obadiah Evans faced her on the threshold. 'Howdy," he exclaimed heartily. "I've brought the milk and cream; sorry it didn't get here this morn ing but Jim and I were both away and Deborah forgot to remind Simon. Let me carry the palls to the kitchen: therre heavy." And he stepped Into the room. Peggy closed the front door and followed him toward the dining room. "Walt, Mr. Evans," she ex claimed. "Have you met Mr. Phi lander Chase?" ' 1 Deliberately Obadiah transferred both palls to one hand before fac ing the other man. "I heard Mr. Prescott talk about you," he aald, extending a huge hand, "and I know your brother; taint any doubt about you' being twins," regarding Chase closely. - "Our mother had difficulty telling us apart." ' j Chase rubbed hie hands together. this time tenderly to feel his fingers which still felt the pressure of Obadlah'a grip. "I'll say she had." Obadiah chuckled. "We missed meeting at Phelps' Tavern last night." Chase smiled wryly. "I'd bave been wiser had 1 stayed there Instead of trying to make Stone Tower; as it waa I stopped overnight at Goshen and then missed Aqulla this morning." "Sure: he was down my way, so Debby said." Obadiah clicked the pails together. "Soon's I put thesa in the kitchen, I'll take you back with me." "But I must return to Stone Towei: " "It's bad going over Mohawk pass after last night's rain," broke In Obadlab, quickly. "Besides, Debby said your brother left word he'd be back" "In that case," Cbaee turned to Peggy as Obadiah disappeared Into the pantry; "I'll go with Mr. Evans. I'll get In' touch with ycu without fall. Don't worry," he held ber hand In a firm clasp, "and, above all, keep your own counsel." The advice was given la littler above a whisper and Obadiah failed to catch It on reentering the room. "I h ready, now, Mr. Evans," and snatching up his hat Chase accom panied the farmer out of the front door. Peggy watched them go, giving but a mechanical reply to Obadlah'a last words, then closed the door, Halt across the room, she stopped and picked up the slip ot paper found In her uncle'a sate deposit box. Dropping down on a chair In tront ot his desk, she again read with aaieu. newnuerea eyes the mes sage upon It: "The Lord glveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name ot the Lord." Suddenly her head fell forward on the desk and her overcharged toolings found vent In a burst ot tears her Inheritance woe hut a house of cards. (CottTtght, D.
