SURELY NO PLACE FOR HER
In 'the Presence of Such Magic There
Seemed But One Thing for
Maid to Do
Prof Percival Lowell the eminent
Martian astronomer said In a recent
Interview in New York:
“The Martian canals are not Pana-
ma 1 canala The word ‘canals’ you
know really means ‘lines’ It
shouldn't be taken literally as the
servant girl In Boston took the parlor
magic
“An amateur magician in a Beacon
street house was going through his
tricks while a maid passed In and out
with refreshments
“The magician was reading letters
placed under a rug as the maid
brought in a tray of lemon Ices
“‘What Is this?' a spectator asked
“'That is B‘ the magician an-
swered and sure enough his answer
was correct
“The maid looked with astonish-
ment at the letter which had been
hidden under the thick rug She
turned her gaze on the handsome
young magician who had read it
Then setting down her trnv of Ices
she hid her rosy fare in her hands
and ran out of the roum
" 'What’s the good o' me clothes?'
she cried”
A Dirge
She laid the still white form beside
those which had gone before no sob
no sigh forced Its way from her heart
throbbing as though It would burst
Suddenly a cry broke the stillness of
the place — one single heart-breaking
shriek then silence another cry
more silence then all silent but for
a guttural murmur which seemed to
well up from her very soul She left
the place She would lay another egg

CHAPTER XXII— Continued
"I have been shot at In three lan-
guages and half drowned In others
and rewards have been offered for me
Do you think I'm going down before a
mere matter of beaux yeux! Think
better of me than that!”
"But Bhe is treacherous she will de-
liver you to tho Philistines without
losing a heart-beat”
"She could Miss Patricia but she
won’t!”
"She has every Intention of marry-
ing GllleBple he'e the richest man she
knows!”
"I swear to you that she shall not
marry Gillespie!”
"She would do It to annoy me If for
nothing else”
I took both her hands — they were
like rose-leaves those dear slightly
tremulous hands!
“Now MIsb Pat — I'm going to call
you Miss Pat because we're such old
friends and we're Just contemporaries
anyhow — now Miss Pat Helen Is not
half so wicked as she thinks she is
Gillespie and I are on the best of
terms He's a thoroughly good fellow
and not half the fool he looks And
he will never marry Helen!”
"I should like to know what’s going
to prevent her from marrying hint!"
she demanded as I stepped back and
turned to go
"Oh I am If you must know! I
have every Intention of marrying her
ntyself!”
I ran away from the protest that
was faltering upon her lips and strode
through the garden I had Just
reached Glenarm gate on my way back
to the brmthouso when a woman’s
voice callpd softly and Sister Marga-
ret hurried round a turn of the garden
path
"Mr Donovan!”
There was anxiety In the voice and
more anxious still was Sister Marga-
ret's fare as she came toward nte In
her brown habit her hands claBpod
tensely before her She had evldontly
boon watching for me and drew back
from the gate Into a quiet recess of
the garden Iter usual repose was
gone and her face under Its white
coif showed plainly her distress
“I have bad news— Miss Helen has
gone! I'm afraid something has hap-
pened to her"
“Bhe can't have gone far Bister
Margarot When did you miss her?”
I asked quietly but I confess that I
was badly shaken My confident talk
about the girl with Miss Pat but a
moment before echoed Ironically In
my memory
“She did not come down for break-
fast with her aunt or me but I thought
nothing of it as I have urged both of
them to broakfast upstairs Miss Pa-
tricia went out for a walk An hour
ago I tried Helen's door and found It
unlooked and her room empty Whoa
or how iho loft I don't know Bhe
eomi to have taken nothing with
her”
“Can you tell t lie Sister Mar
garet?"
Bhe stared at me with ho shocked an
air that I laughed “A lie In n good
cauie 1 mean? Miss Pat must not
know that her niece has gone— If she
bag gone I Ihg hoe probably
“It la Ordained That We Continue the Game of Last Night"
one of the canoes for a morning pad-
dle or wo' will assume that she has
borrowed one of the Glenarm horses
as she has every right to do for a
morning gallop and that she has lost
her way or gone farther than she In-
tended There are a thousand expla-
nations!” t
“But they hardly touch the fact that
she was gone all night or that a
strange man brought a note addressed
in Helen's handwriting to her aunt
only an hour ago”
"Kidnaped!" — and I laughed aloud
as the meaning of her disappearance
flashed upon me!
"I don't like your way of treating
this matter!” said Sister Margaret lol-
ly “The girl may die before sho can
be ‘broucht back”
“No she won’t— my word for It Sis-
ter Mai garet Plcnso give me tho
letter! ”
"But it Is not for you!"
"Oh yes It Is! You wouldn’t have
Miss Pat subjected to the shock of a
demand for ransom Worse tlinn that
Miss Pat has little enough faith In
Helen as It Is and such a move as
tills would be final This kidnaping Is
partly designed as a punishment for
me and I propose to take caro of It
without letting Miss Pat know She
shall never know!"
Sister Margaret only half convinced
drew an envelope from her girdle and
gave It to me doubtfully I glanced
at the superscription and (hen tore It
across repeating the process until It
was a mass of tiny particles which I
poured Into Sister Margaret’s hands
"Burn them! Now Miss Pat will un-
doubtedly ask for her niece at once
I suggest that you tako care that she
Is not distressed by Helen's absence
If It Is necessary to reward your
house-maid for her discretion — " I said
with hesitation
"Oh I disarranged Helen's bed so
that the maid wouldn’t know!” — and
Sister Margaret blushed
"Splendid! I can teach you nothing
Sister Margarot! Please help me this
much further: get one of Miss Helen's
dresses— that blue one sho plays ten-
nis In porhaps — and put It In a hug
of some kind and give It to my Jap
when he rails for It In Ion minutes
Now listen to me carofully BlBter Mur-
guret: I shall moot you here at 13
o’clock with a girl who shall be to all
Intents and purposes llolcn Holbrook
In fact she will bo some one else Now
I expect you to carry off the situation
through luncheon and until nightfall
when I expect to bring Helen— tha
real Helon— back here Meanwhile
tell Miss Pat anything you like quot-
ing met Good-by!”
I left her abruptly and was running
toward Glenarm House to rouse IJIma
when I bumped Into Gillespie who had
beon told at the house that 1 was
somowhero In the grounds
"What's doing Irishman?" he de-
manded “Nothing Buttons I’m Just exercls-
ing” Ills white flannels were aa fresh M
the morning and he wore a little blue
onp perched saucily on tha side of hi
head
1 linked my arm In hla and led tha
way toward Olenarm lloust Thera

“I want to eee her— I’ve got to see
her!”
"Who — Helen? Then you’ll have to
wait a while for she's gone for a pad-
dle or a gallop I'm not sure which
and won’t be back for a couple of
hours But you have grown too dar-
ing Miss Pat Is still here and you
can’t expect me to arrange meetings
for you every day iu the year”
'Tve got to see her" he repeated
and his tone was utterly joyless “I
don’t understand her Donovan"
"Man is not expected to understand
woman my dear Buttons At the ca-
sino last night everything was as gay
as an octogenarian's birthday cake"
IIo stopped In the shadow of the
house and seized my arm
"You told her something about me
last night She was all right until you
took her away and talked wlih her ot
the casino On tho way home Bhe was
moody nml queer — a different girl al-
together You are not on the square
you ure playing ou too many sides of
this game"
“You’re la love that’s all Those
suspicions an(j apprehensions are lead-
ing symptoms Up there at the casino
with the water washing boneath and
the stars overhead and the band play-
ing waltzes a spell was upon you both
Even a hardened old sinner like me
could feel it I've had palpitations all
day I Cheer up! In your own happy
phrase everything points to plus"
"I tell you Bhe turned oa me and
that you are responsible for It!"— and
he glared at mo angrily
“Now Buttons! You’re not going
to take that attitude toward me after
all I have done for you! I really took
some trouble to arrange that little
meeting last night and here you come
with sad eye and mournful voice and
robuke me!”
“I tell you she wus different She
hod never been so kind to mo as she
was there at the casino but as we
came buck she changed and was
ready to fling me aside I asked her
to leave this place and many me to-
day and she only luughod at me!"
"Now ltuttotis you ure letting your
Imagination got the better of your
common sense If you're going to take
your lady’s moods so hard you'd better
give up trying to understand the ways
of woman It's wholly possible that
Helen wus tired and didn't want to bo
made love to It seems to me that
you are singularly lacking In consider
tlon But 1 can't talk to you all
morning I have other things to do
but If you will And n cool oorner ot
the house and look at picture-booka
until I'm free I'll promise lo be boat
man for you when you're married and
1 predict your marriage before Christ-
mas— a happy union of the ancient
houses ot Holbrook and Gillespie Run
along like a good boy and don't lot
Miss Pat catch sight ot you"
“Do you keep a goat a donkey or a
mule— any of tha more ruminative anl-
mala?" he asked with hie eaddeit In-
tonation “The cook keepa a parrot and
thera'e a donkey la one of tho pas-
turee!' “Good Are hie powore of voosltaw

'Tint rate 1 occasionally hear hla

a moment looking out on the lake wo
aw far away t iward the northern
hore the Stiletto that seemed Juet
to have slipped out from the lower
lake The humor of the situation
pleased me Helen was off there In
the eloop playing at being kidnaped to
harass her aunt into coming to terms
with Henry Holbrook and She waa
doubtless rejoicing in the fact that she
had effected a combination of events
that would make her father's case ir-
resistible But there was no time to lose I
made Gillespie comfortable Indoors
and sent IJIma to get the bag I bad
asked for and a few minutes later the
launch was skimming over tbe water
toward the canoe-maker’e bouse at

CHAPTER XXIII
The Rocket 8lgnal
Rosalind was cutting sweet peas in
the garden where they climbed high
upon a filmy net humming softly to
herself
“A penny for your thoughts! " I
challenged
She snipped an Imaginary flower
from the air In my direction
“Keep your money! I waa not think-
ing of you! You wear sir an intent
commercial air have you thread and
needles in your pack?”
"It Is ordained that we continue the
game of last night To-day you are to
Invade the very citadel and deceive
your aunt Your cousin has left with-
out notice and the situation demands
prompt action”
I was already carrying the suit-case
toward the house explaining as we
walked along together
“But was I so successful last night?
Was he really deceived or did he Just
play that he was?”
“He’s madly In love with you Yon
stole away all his senses But he
thought you changed toward him un-
accountably on the way home”
"But why didn’t she tell him? — she
must have told him"
“Oh I took oare of that! 1 rather
warned her against betraying us And
now she's trying to punish me by be-
ing kidnaped!”
Rosalind paused at the threshold
gathering the stems of the sweet peas
In her hands
"Do you think" she began "do you
think he really liked me — I mean the
real me?”
"Like you! That le not the right
word for It He's gloomily dreaming
of you — the real you — at this very mo-
ment over at Glenarm But do hasten
Into these things that Sister Margaret
picked out for you I must see your
futher before I carry you off We've
no time to waste I can tell you!”
The canoe-makcr heard my story In
silence and shook hla head
"It Is impossible we should only
get Into deeper trouble I have no
great faith In this resemblance It
may have worked once on young Gil-
lespie but women have sharper eyes”
"But It must be tried!” I pleaded
“We are approaching the end of these
troubles and nothing must be allowed
to Interfere Your sister wishes to see
you this 1b her birthday"
“So It is! So It Is!” exclaimed tbe
canoe-maker with feeling 1
“Helen must be saved from her own
folly Her aunt must not know ot
this latest exploit It would ruin every-
thing" As we debated Rosalind Joined her
persuasions to mine
"Aunt Pat must not know what
Helen has done If we can help It” abe
said
While she changed her clothes I
talked on at the house-boat with her
father
"My sister has asked for me?"
“Yes your slBter Is ready to settle
with Henry but she wishes to see you
fleet She has begged mo to find you
but Helon must go back to her aunt
This fraudulent kidnaping must never
be known to' Miss Pat And on the
other hand I hope It may not be nec-
essity for Holen to know the truth
about her father"
"I dare say she would sacrifice my
own daughter quickly enough" ho
aid
“Not you are wrong I do not be-
lieve Itt She le making no war on
you or on her aunt! It'a against mat
Bhe enjoys a conteit she's trying to
beat me"
(TO BE CONTINUED)
Origin ef "Caucus"
"Caucus” is said to have arlaea
from a corruption of the term "calk-
er’s house" After violent fighting be-
tween the military and the ropomek-
ere of Boston In 1770 the ropemakere
end the celkere the better to meet
the soldiers formed themeolvee into
a society “at tho meetings of which
Inflammatory addressee were dollvored
end the most violent reeolutlone
passed against the British govern-
ment and Its agents and Inetrumenta
In America" The torlee scoffed al
the calkere meetings and the tern
became In Urns softened Into caucus
However Dr Murrey deolaree that
