Lusk, Dis trict Passenger Agent, At lanta, Ga. By MR8. C. N. WILLIAMSON, Author of “The Lightning Conductor," Ete., Eto. 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.

"That will do no good, Mr. Mc- Oowan," said Elspeth. sadly. "1 know myself; and I know that I can say no more tomorrow morning that I've said already, except that 1 did nothing which seemed to me to be wrong." "Ah, but I must be allowed to Judge whether t» was wrong or not," he re turned. "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 anyono to fill your place In the high Grant alreads season. Grant already has all that he can attend to, or more, and-my hands 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- Panamas at $7.50 Others Up to $50,00 The Panama is the' ideal summer hat—cool, ight, comfortable, doesn’t blow off so easily as the stiff straw and can’t be injured by a sudden slower.

Tomorrow. In all nrob- ablllty, he would write to the agency, from which she had been sent to him. 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. (Continued in Tomorrow’* Georgian.)
