Uucb to lady Lambert's displeasure, Captain Oxford and Lady Hilary are deeply attached to each other end Elspeth promises them her aid. The stenographer Is called upon to take dictation for Mr. McGowan, the mana ger; Mr. Trowbridge posing as an Amer ican millionaire, who seems to have a conspiracy on, aided by James Grant, the hotel clerk; Mr. Kenrith, who Is writing a book on socialism; Captain Oxford, Countess Radepolskol, and Lady Ardcllffe, aged M. a would-be poetess, ambitions for either the millions of Messrs Trowbridge or Kenrith.

Hhe leaps from bed to see the faint outlines of a men In one corner of the room. The apparition looks like . . venrlni * The ghostly visitor ' kept In repair. CHAPTER VI (CONCLUDED) She wan "keyed to a high pitch of nervous excitement, which had In creased rather than diminished since yesterday, but there was no confusion In her brain. She felt that If ahe could only put her hand upon one sin gle first clue, she would bo capable of ferreting out others, where now all seemed chaos. Breakfast was hurried over so that she might steal time for a few words with the housekeeper before going to Mr. McGowan, and as an exouse ahe began asking Mrs. Warden If she might make some little changes In the ar rangement of the furniture In her room. She would- like, ahe said, to place the sofa and table differently, bat had not wished to do so without mentioning It beforehand. “Why. Ideas your heart, my dear,” said the friendly old woman, 'you can do Just as you like In your own quar ters. I hope you're quite happy there. I went up on purpose to aek how you got on yesterday afternoon, but you were away—busy, I suppose, though It was close upon tea time." Title wae exactly the turn which Elspeth had hoped the conversation would take. Sho thanked Mrs. War den, and said that she wsi delighted with her room. “It'e good enough for a duchess, 10 It would be alrnnge It I shouldn't be aatlafled,” she laughed. .‘'But 1 do wondey why It la the only room In the tower which they've made habitable. There Is such a lovely view from there, and If-the guests would object to the trhoat stories, surely tho employees would be more sensible." ■ ,"lt wasn't worth the trouble and ex pense of putting the other rooms In repair, I suppose," replied the house keeper, "seeing that they couldn't very well bo offered to gueets. The one above youra has the roof fallen In on It, which was the reason the atalrs were blocked up, rather than restore the whole upper story. But you needn't worry, the door la so thick that there's no danger of the debris breaking through.' It's been at It la for years, many years. Nothing would hava been done to repair your quarters, either, for the same reason, and the whole tower would have been left to Itself, but that room of yours was never let fall into a bad state, like the others. Old Lord Lochraln wouldn’t have that -happen; so you nee when the coatle was bought for a hotel there wae noth ing much to do there, except to put In a few more bile of furniture to add a little to the comfort." •'Used old Lord Lochraln to occupy my room, then?" asked Elspeth. “Oh, dear, no. He never even went there, so far as 1 can say. But—well, the bath room und all the improve ments were mode for a person who wae once of Importance to the family, and ols long sa the old Marquis lived noth ing was changed there. When Mr. McOowan took charge of everything he' gave order* to have some of the handsomest pieces of furniture put elsewhere, hut the bed, though It le the finest of all. couldn't he moved. Maybe you noticed. It la built into the wall, and has been whrre'lt Is for hundreds of years, I fancy. 1 don't know the date, but 1 do know It'e very old, and I daresay curiosity dealer* would give any amount of money for It. If It were for »ale. Elspeth had learned what she Imd come to find out, but she had gained very little enlightenment, after all. flhe nv by a certain, obstinate hard ening of the old woman’s good iratur- ed face that she did not Intend to let herself be "pumped" on the subject of that vanished "person of Importance" for whose soke, apparently, old Lonl Lochraln had preserved the one room In the tower, and Elspeth guessed that the ghost story, whatever It might be, was connected with him. “If I can find out from nny one It will b« not from her. but from Mr. Grant." she said to herself as she bade Mrs. Warden goodby. Her woman'e Instinct told her already that she would not have to ask favors In vain of her fellow employee, anil though she would have made no serious demand upon the young man she determined to try again to draw from him the story of the haunted tower. She had no opportunity of seeing him alone that morning, however, and nothing of Importance happened dur ing the day except—If It could be called Important—an Introduction to |Countess Radepclrkol. Mr. Trow bridge. Instead of employing her time hlrr.H-'if. lent her to his friend the countess, who had a pretty little pri vate parlor, divided from the rest of her suite by an archway with heavy portieres. _ You are to rest thl* morning. X will do your work and mine, too." "It’s very kind of you to suggest such a thing." replied Elspeth hurriedly, "but"— "Kind!" ochoed Grant. “As If there could be a question of kindness from me to you. Why, I have thought of nothing but your face, growing paler and thinner this last week, from over work." Oh, It Isn't that,” answered the girl, then checked herself quickly. Sho did not wish to conilde In James Grant "You have hnd enough to wear you out anyhow, he said. "It's a shame. But I hope It won't be for long. You promised that other day to let me be your friend; but you know I want more than that, really. 1 never cared about any woman before I saw you. The sort of girls I came In contact with were commonplace creatures, without any attraction for me. I used to think It would be my fate, If I ever fell In love with a woman, that she should be some one so far above me. It would be hope less for me to try to reach her. But you—you are os dainty and refined and as pretty as If you were the daughter of a countess, like Lady Hilary Vane, yet you are of my own class In life, and I can dare to tell you now that I have been In love with you ever since the afternoon when I drove you up from the railway station.” "That's only a week ago," stammered Elspeth, distressed and embarrassed. ".You can’t, know your own mind In such a short time. Please forget about this. I will be your friend, of course, but"— "Don't answer me yet," broke In the young man. "I've often heard that girls always said ‘no’ at nrtt, especial ly If they were taken by surprise; and I didn’t expect that you could have learned to love rr.e so soon. But wait; hear what I’ve got to say before you speak." "I thought you were going to let me ‘reef this morning," pleaded Elspeth. "This conversation Is much more wearying, after a bad night, than at tending to Mr. McGowan's corres pondence. I've a headache, and—and I'm worried about lots of things." "You need never worry about any thing after thla If you'll trust yourself to me, and do as I am going to ask you to do, presently. Pint of all 1 want you to promise that you will be my wife, by and by." "Oh, 1 couldn't!" cried Elspeth. am not at all In love with you. I never could be." "How do you know that?" asked Grant “Unless there Is tome other Is there—Is there? You must tell me that" "You ought not to ask me such question, but—there Is no one," the girl answered. She spoke the truth. There was no man In her life, and there never had been, except her father and brother. Nevertheless;, the color she had lost slowly streamed back to her face, and the Image of a man rose be fore her eyes.

Elspeth had fancied that (he would not like the dark, handsome woman, who woe too foreign In appearance. In the somewhat narrow opinion of a young girl, to be freely trusted. But she found ber prejudice melting in the unexpected charm of the countess’ manner; and, besides, she would scarcely have been human not to be a little flattered by the evident Wish of so magnificent a person to win tier regard. . . tihe had never met any one at all re sembling the Countess Radepolskol; she had never seen a room so littered with the beautiful things aa the count ess' small sitting room, nor had she ever Imagined a. tea gown so wonder ful as that In which the dark beauty received her. • Elspeth wrote a letter or two from the countess' dictation, and then the lady made a pause to ask questions about the typewriting machine. She showed such an Intelligent Interest that Elspeth was pleased, and then would not be satisfied unless the gtrl explained something about th* system of shorthand. "But you are so young and pretty to be earning your living al alone In the world,” said th* countess, with her fascinating roll of the ' "You must tell me about yourself, would rather hear you talk than write more letters." Elspeth demurred at first on th* plea of wasting time, but th* count laughed, and said she found It more amusing to waste time than to do most other things, that was what time was for, to be wasted by nice people, euch as they both were. So the girl was drawn Into talk about herself, aa she had been by John Kenrith, though In a very different way, and at last wae led on, before she quite knew what the was doing, to discuss the people she had met at the hotel. Th countess wae enthusiastic In Praiai of Lady Hilary Lambart, but did not like the mother, and Elspeth wae only Just prudent enough not to exclaim, "Neither do I!" However, her face must have been expresalve, for the countess said: “Ah, I tea you agree with my opinion, though you are too wtee to say so In worde. You are only a young girl, quite a child, yet 1 see you have a remarkable Insight Into hu man nature. It Is a great gift. What pity men have not got It, where women are concerned! And the nicer the man’a mind the less ho seems to know of women.

"So do I, for his sake, though I do not know him. They say she Is hor ribly poor and In debt. It Is his money she thinks of, for Its Is not her sort of men at all. Can not you—as It seems > helping him with Some Impor tant work—find a way of warning him against such a schemer?" "I don't see how I possibly could," said Elspeth. "It Is a pity. But perhaps you are too young to undertake such a diplo matic mission. By and by 1 shall know him perhaps, and then I will try to do It so cleverly that he will not even know It has been done. Only, unfortunately, I fear he has been In some manner prejudiced ngalnst me. He looks at me with cold eyes, which do not seem to see me at all, and—1 am not quite used to that." i ‘‘I should think not," Elspeth replied. "Do, If you care, speak kindly of me to th# gentleman. I fancy your opin ion—you are so young and frank— would have weight with a man like Mr. Kenrith. Perhaps he thinks I grudge him the blue diamond which wae once In my dead husband's family, but I don’t. I am glad for him to have It, for I believe he I* a good man.

"What a dear child you are!" cried the Countess, patting her hand, and giving her a charming smile, with dark eye* alight. Still, Elspeth asked her self sfterward If she had said anything which might glvs the Impression that she knew Mr. Kenrith had brought the diamond to Lochraln with him. She remembered how Lady Lambart had exclaimed against his Imprudence In mentioning It before a stranger, there fore she supposed th* presence of the Jewel In the house would not bs spoken about. However, on rejection sb* de cided that she bed committed no Im prudence; and as Counts** Radopols- kol was a rich woman, with many re. markable Jewels of her own, her Inter' ett In Mr. Kenrlth's blue diamond could not possibly bs a dangerous one.

"Oh, 1 thought you would be alone by this time," ahe said. You told me the hour, but”—— (she glanced at her bracelet watch) ‘1 see were a few min ute* hefore time.” "It doesn't matter; ve have finished,' said Kenrith. “You shall se my treas ures euch as they are." "Pray, let us walL" began Lady Lambert, significantly, but Kenrith only laughed. "Miss Dean, you mail perhaps remember our talking of a cer tain diamond In the train the othar day. Now I am going to show 4t to Lady Lambart and Lady Hilary, also a black pearl which I have latelv picked up. You shall stop and see them too." “1—1 think perhaps I had better not, thank you." stammered Elspeth. rising. "Why, don't you Ilk* Jewels?" asked Kenrith. "Yes, but”— “Than you must slay," said he. In his masterful voice. The girl restated no longer; but the Idea gashed Into her head that she would rather not know where the mil llbnalre kept his valuables. There was no definite reason for this feeling, but she had It strongly. Instead of follow-' Ing Kenrith with her eyes as he walked to the qther end of the room, she turned them upon Lady Hilary, with rather an appealing smile, as much aa to say, "I do hope you don’t mind me having stopped ?” But the other girl did not even see the smile. Her whole soul seemed con centrated In a gate which was fixed poif'John Kenrith, or Lady Lambart, who had walked away with her host.
