CHAPTER X. (Concluded.)
Elspeth was growing more and more
“ngrry with this foolish woman who
wore her middle-aged heart on her
sleeve. No doubt Trowbridge had
amused himself by flirting with her,
for some reason that tho girl could
not fathom; atlU, she ought to have
sense, enough to see that a man of his
sge could not possibly be really In love
with a woman of hers. Elspeth longed
to apeak out her scorn, and warn Lady
Ardcllffe that Hilary must not be In
jured .In any way, or even annoyed.
But she told herself that anything she
could say on such a subject would only
make matters worse; Indeed, sho had
spoken too much already. So she held
her tonguo, and merely said, when she
could put In a word, that she must go
and see whether Mr, McGowan had
come.'
•‘After all,” Elspeth thought a few
minutes later, aa ahe waa on the way
downstairs, "I don't see how she can
possibly harm Lady Hilary. Malicious
as she may be In her stupid Jealousy,
what can sho do—or the CounteBS,
' either ?C
Yet the girl was vaguely uneasy, for
she knew that Hilary had now two
enemies In the house—two women who,
though as different one from the other
.os slimmer from winter, hated their
young and beautiful rival for the same
reason; because, all against her will,
she had found favor In the eyes of a
man they both loved.
Elspeth went straight from Lady
Ardcllfte’s room to Mr. McGowan’s of
fice, where she wished to explain—If
he had come—why her duties for tho
afternoon had been neglected. Per'
heps hs would blame her for having
gone out with Mr. Kenrlth In the mo
tor ear, she thought; yet he could
hardly do that, os she had gone In her
free hour, and could not possibly know
that an accident would happen to de
lay and Incapacitate her for her du
ties.
Still, she rather dreaded seeing the
manager, and her heart began to beat
fast when, she heard his voice on tho
other side of the door. So he had re
turned.
Have you any proof of this?" ho
was saying.
It was my daughter herself who told
me," replied another voice, which Els
peth knew too well. It was that of
Lady Lambart. "It Is disgraceful,
really do think that. In Justice to your
guests, Mr. McGowan, you should dis
charge such a person. She Is not the
one for such a position of trust as you
have given her; and, besides the things
which I have told you, If It's necessary
to say more, she goes about the hotel
retailing gossip to one person about an.
other, baok and forth; and since her
coming this houso has been nothing
more nor less than a nest of scandal.
She has cohtrtved to set at least half a
dozen persons who used to be friendly
violently against each other. But, as I
am the one who has suffered most, I
consider that I have the right to ask
you to send her away."
"I will at least think It over” replied
Mr. McGowan. "If you have not been
misinformed. Miss Dean must certainly
go. But, of course, she must be given a
chance to defend henielf. I will send
for her presently”—
"She 1* here now, Mr. McGowan,"
said Elspeth at ths door. > ‘T couldn't
help hearing the last few words."
"It Is Just ns well," returned Mr.
McGowan rather coldly. "Did you hear
that Lady Lambart accused you of ac
cepting bribes from Captain Oxford to
give notes from him to Lady Hilary
Vane?"
"I know she accused me of something
of that sort," said Elspeth, looking at
Lady Lambart, who held up her lorg
nette and stared superciliously.
"Havo you over assisted the captain
to communicate with Lady Hilary?"
"Yes, but—' 1 began Elspeth. and fal
tered painfully, as she realized for the
flrzt time that she hod no answer to
give which could he truthful and at the
same time not incriminating to herself.
Mr. McGowan, who evidently had ex
pected an Indignant denial, looked very
grave.
"I must talk over this matter with
Miss Dean alone, your ladyship," said
the manager.
"What! You still refuse to believe her
guilty ?”
"I must know from her own lips what
to believe, and It would be distressing
for every one concerned If the matter
were discussed In public."
Discomfited, Lady Lambart swept out
of the room with ah air of injured dig
nity, and Elspeth, though deeply grate,
fal to Mr. McGowan for giving her the
beneflt of the doubt and sparing her
a public Inquisition, trembled Inward
ly, She could not tell lies, yet she
any way.
keep that Idea
“Now, Miss Dean, you havo your op.
portunlty to explain," began Mr. Me.
Gowan. "I must say that I am die.
mayed and annoyed to have such i
story thrown at my head on tho mo
ment of my return from a business
Journey. You must, to say the least,
have acted with Imprudence, and gone
out of your place In this house, or such
a suspicion against your prudence and
good sense could not have arisen.”
Until this moment Elspeth had re
ceived nothing but praise from Mr. Mc
Gowan, and nervous and worn as she
was, this rebuke seemed almost be
yond bearing.
Tears sprang to her eyes, but she
choked them back, determined that the
manager should not see her crying like
a scolded child. In spite of her ef.
forts at self-control, however, the girl.
Ish face betrayed something of tho
heart’s distress, and Mr. McGowan, who
was an extremely kind-hearted man,
though a disciplinarian as a manager,
repented his harshness.
"You had better tell me everything,"
he said.
"I—don't think I can do that, though
os far as Lady Hilary yane Is concern
ed there's practically nothing To tell,”
replied Elapeth.
"What! You refuse to speak?" Mr.
McGowan exclaimed, his vexation ris
ing again.
"1 once took a message—an absolute
ly Insignificant message—from Captain
Oxford to Lady Hilary, whom he haa
known for a long time."
"Is that all—on your word of honor?"
"Practically all."
"That Is not a satisfactory answer."
"I’m very sorry, but I’m afraid it's
the best that,I can give."
"Then, Miss Dean, I must say I am
very much disappointed In you."
"Would you prefer to have me go
away? tho girl asked, trying with ull
her might to steady her voice.
Mr. McGowan hall not Intended mat
ters to touch tills extremity. Elspetli’s
work was excellent beyond his expecta
tions, and she was well liked by every
one In the hotel to whom her services
had been given. She was a lady by
birth and In manner, charming In ap.
pearance, and altogether the manager
of the Locbraln Castle Hydro feared It
would be Impossible to obtain another
stenographer as desirable. Still, dis
cipline must be maintained In the hotel,
and this girl must not t)|lnk she could
go out ot her place, mix herself up In
the love affairs of the guests of the
house, and after behaving with grave
Indiscretion, escape with a mere repri
mand after refusing to defond herself.
He valued her services too much to
have dispensed with them lightly on bis
own Initiative, but as she had practical.

seemed to me to be wrong."
"Ah, but I must be allowed to Judge

"Then—I see that you mean me to
go. Shall It be at once, or”—
"Certainly not,” Mr. McGowan cut In
decidedly. "I can not he left without

are over-full. I will let you be tho one
to give me notice, -Miss Dean, as you
have been satisfactory In your work,
and I do not wish to Injure jour future
career any more than I can avoid doing.
You had better give mo a fortnight's
notice. In that time I can get some one
else, and meanwhile I expect you to be
absolutely discreet In your Intercourse
with the guesta of the hotel. Now, I
shall require nothing further from you
today. Good evening, Miss-Dean.”
“Good-evening. And—I suppose I
ought to thank you. I believe you
mean to be kind,” said Elspeth.
"I should like to be so, If you had
made It possible for me,” returned the
manager..
There was nothing more for her to
say or do, and bowing her head to hide
the tears, she left the room.
After all, Lady lambart had scored.
A sudden flash of enlightenment told
Elspeth that tho elder woman could
not forgive her the kindness and con
sideration with which Mr. Kenrlth bad
treated her. From the very first, when
she had been compelled to take a seat
In the railway carriage which Lady
Lambart had wished to keep for her
qwn purty, she had been unjustly dis
liked. Mr. Kenrlth's kindness to her
as his secretary and her association
with Captain Oxford had Increased the
feeling against her; but the climax had
come today with the Invitation from
Mr. Kenrlth to go out In his motor car
his. equal and Lady Hilary's equal.
That had placed her on a different foot,
Ing. She was no longer only the secre
tary; she was the friend as well, and
Lady Lambart had stopped at nothing
to bo rid of her.
In a way the enmity of a woman of
the world for a humble typewriter was
a compliment, hut Elspeth was In no
mood for that point of view. She was
bitterly unhappy, horribly humiliated,
and could not bear to look forward to
the future.
She had been allowed, by Mr. Me-

saying that Miss Dean waa not satis
factory, and ask for some ono else in
her place.
What a downfall, after her high
hopes, and the encouraging opinion
Miss Smith had had of her ability. To
be sure, she had been told that she
was too young, but she had meant to
show that that opinion was a mistake.
Oh, she had meant to do so well, and
sho had believed that ahe waa succeed
ing. She had borne herself as bravely
os she could, through strange and try
ing experiences, In the hope of obtain
ing the success for which she strove,
and this was her reward for every
thing.
All these thoughts rushed through
her mind as she left Mr. McGowan’s
loom. She walked with her head
down, hoping to meet no one she knew,
and hurried through the hall, almost
descried now, as people were prepar
ing for dinner. Suddenly turning Into
one of tho many Intricate corridors, she
stumbled against some one who had
-net come down the stairs she was
about to descend. "I beg your par
don!" she exclaimed hastily, and In
voluntarily looked up.
This corridor wus dimly lit, but at
the foot ot the Btulrs stood a bronze
figure In armor, holding a lamp, and
the light from the lamp struck full
upon the face of tlie person with whom
she had collided. With a little cry
Elspeth started back, for the face was
the same that sbo had seen In her
room, framed In the white mystery
of moonlight.
For a second tho eyes, the too bril
liant eyes, gazed Into hers with an
intent and strangely piercing look, al
most an anxious look. It seemed. Then
the toll man bowed- slightly, mur
mured something In response to her re
quest for pardon, and passed on.
Elapeth stood still, watching, half
inclined to follow, yet not daring to
do so; for there could be no doubt
that this was a man of flesh and blood,
and did not vanish by apparently melt
ing through the wall, hut walked quiet,
ly, if somewhat hastily, round the cor
ner Into another corridor.
Tho features were as like as before
to Captain Oxford’s, but now that ahe
had seen them In a fuller light Els
peth told herself that It was difficult
to believe the man was wearing a dis
guise. The short,'(minted beard looked
absolutely natural and the face seemed
much oldor than that of Captain Ox
ford.
"Who can It be?" she wondered. "I»
It a guest of the hotel? Extraordinary,
If so, that I’ve never seen hie face be
fore—almost Impossible. Yet he must
have been in the house, or staying near
by for some time, because It's almost a
week since that night when tl
figure stepped out through the
my room. Now that I've seen him
again—for It must be the same; I can’t
be mistaken—It makes that apparition
all the more mysterious. I must find
out who this person Is."
Slowly the girl went on toward her
own room, wondering how she was to
accomplish what she wanted, now that
she was no longer on pleasant terms with
Mr. McGowan, and now that her odd
friendship with Mr. Grant was at end.
Suddenly, however, she thought of Mrs.
Warden, the housekeeper. Perhaps if
she described the man she had Just met
(ahe did not mean to refer to the
stranger meeting) the old woman would
know whether <>r not there was such a
guest In the Hydro.
She turned back, therefore, end fonnd
her way to the housekeeper's room,
which she had had occasion to visit
once or twice before.
