THE PARMENTER MILLIONS
... A Stirring Novel of Love, Conspiracy and Adventure . . .
(Copyright, 1907, by Arthur \V. Marcbraont.)
Author of “By Right of Sword/*
Synopsis of Previous Installment.
Olive deride* to enter the home of the
Merrfdewn disguised ns au Irish servant
f rtrl. She accordingly make* such changes
a her tippenrnnee ns she deem* necessary,
mid cull* ou her obi 1 rleud,- Lawyer
uwni, who Is completely deceived by the
dlsgitls". Olive, however, tells him who she
Is and later goes to bis house to meet Mrs.
fa semen t. To the Casements she tells her
stor.v of persecution nt the hnnus'of-Gilbert
Merrldew.
But Olive said no. "I wish him to
believe me dead. To punish him alone
will not give me what I seek.”
"That he does, believe yon
dead I have no doubt," replied the law
yer. "I have a reason. It so happens
that a client Qf mine Is the owner of
the mining property in Cornwall, not
far from Bodmin: useless, worked-odt
mines they are; and / have had a let
ter from Merrldew’* solicitors offering
to buy It. I have no doubt It Is the
place where he took you. The reason
they give for securing the property' isr
that Merrldew has been interesting
himself In mines in thpt district and
believes that something can be made
of them. I was glad enough for my
client's sake to negotiate, of course;
but now I understand. His object .la
either to fill In tin/place, or else, un
der the pretence or exploring It, to hava
what he believes to be your dead body
ivered. He could then safely tell
this He that he had married you. The
villain!"
"Then he', must have throw’ll that
poor wretch down the shaft," said Olive
with a shudder. "Poor soul*"*
"I haven't much pity to spare for
her." replied the lawyer drily. "Blit
It will mean a charge of murder against
him when the time comes?" ,
“It must not come yet," declared
Olive, firmly. "But don’t let him have
the mine. ^That grim secret must be
kept."
"I can easily hang the matter up for
u week or two. But, meanwhile?"
"Mollie was in earnest, this morning
In asking you to help h^r to a situation,
Mr. Casement. .She wants to go to
Sllberbeech as a servant.'’
No, no, no, my darn* young .lady.
Not that, if you *dease;\* and he shook
his head very decidedly. .
MoIIle O'Brien Is just, as Wilful as
you once said Olive .was. Bhe means
to go; and if you won’t help'her, she'll
find the way there herself: bedad and
begorra, she will."
He continued to protest; hut. she
would not give way and in the end
gained her point. "Well, as It happens,
mould be the easiest thing In the
world. They have discharged every
one of the obi servants from the Manor,
and have .jind the greatest .difficulty
By ARTHUR W. MARCHMONT.
In getting "new ones. When any go
there they won’t stay.”
Here’s one that will,*’ cried Olive,
gleefully. "But how can MoIIle get a
character?” and she looked shrewdly
at her old friend.
You are not going to ask me to help
in such an unprofessional business?"
“We're not at the ofllce now. Not.
lawyer and client Just friends, you see.
And the poor girl must have a char
acter, musn't she? And I’m sure she
wouldn't do anything, to disgrace it
Perhaps dear-Mrs. Casement has some
U lend who—'* ;
lie smiled, ‘i’ll see what can be
done. The truth Is they are’so badly In
want of rervantr vhey would' not be
particular" And so It was arranged.
Then they spoke ‘ of Jack and Ills
trouble: and olive outlined h#r plan,
it was that Mr. Casement eliould find
some means of giving information
which would insure the arrest of oil
the members of the sang known to
Olive.

Li ry—wllf oe handed over to Merrl-
dew for safe keeping; and in that case
they will be brought to Silverbeech." *
It wax all guess-work on Olive'* part,
of course, but th* lawyer was quick to
?ee the probability of it.
"The part I don’t like. Olive, Is your
going to Silverbeech. I would much
rather send a private detective."
"No" she cried, Instantly. "No one
knows the old house as I do, and no on
would have a thousandth part of th-
Incentive to find out things that
fkould have.”
"Then have some one else there as
well
"No, again, to that. I should be in
c mutant dread of discovery and should
have n double load of responsibility.
I must be alone.
He had to yield to hei. "And no>v,
what ara we to tell Mr. Fenwick? You
can Imagine what his anxiety ban
been." *
“Poor Jack! I con, indeed. But he
must bear It a rlttle longer. He will
easily identify the woman, Anna Hart
tnann,! and will have hope that tho
mystery is to he cleared up. He must
not even know that 1 am alive. He la

In dally, communication with that Mrs.
Taunton, and she wouicl get the secret
out of him In live minutes.''
"He is much more troubled about
you than his own affairs.”
- ■"And. therefore, the more certain to
be unable to keep the secret. He must
not even be warned that Mrs. Taunton
Is what she is."
-And, as Olive* wished, so nil «vas set
tled. But on one point Mr, Casement
was Arm. Olive must take means to
keep him informed'every day that all
as well with her at Silverbeech.
"It may be Impossible without rais
ing all manner of suspicions." she ob
jected. "A single envelope with your
address on it. If seen, would start u
thousand suspicions." < '
"Then address them Jo Bridget
O'Brien, at this house. I rim qulte'de-
termlned. No letters from MoIIle, no
character for MoIIle. I am determined
not to lose touch with that young lady
again. And if there comes a day with
out a letter,. I shall go at once to the
Manor and refuse to leave without see
ing her. I’ll And a reason. She shall
come Into a fortune If necessary.” .
Three days iajer Mollie O’Brien drove
up.the avenue, at Silverbeech to enter
•n her new situation as between-mald
n- the household, and she had not been
a couple of hours in tne servants’ hall
before she had them alt laughing at
her quaint speeches and’‘droll Irish
yarns, and had established herself as
favorite.
She was as ready-handed, too, as she
was nimble-wltted. No matter what
to be done that day, Mollie was
ready to do it; and to do It well and
quickly. >„
The next morning Mrs. Cooper, the
housekeeper, began to instruct her in
her duties.
"You know, of course, what a be- ■ ■ ■■■ ■— 1
tween-maid has to do, Mollie?" U
"Savin’ your swate presence, that’s WOUNDS WOMEN
Just what I don’t. I’ve always been a
full maid before, whin I wasn’t, an
etnpty wan. that .Is, and that was In
dear ould Klllarney. But sure. I can
I’arn'it all. can’t I?"
"Well, you are to help upstairs In
the morning and In the. kitchen after
ward."
"So long as I'm- not to be In both
places at once Jtil be all right, ma'am,
"But you must understand. I've told
Mrs. Merrldew that you ore a thor
oughly competent girl, and I am going
to. take you’to see her now, and ; you
must say you are."

And with this mask of a Jest and a
merry laugh, Olive followed the house
keeper for her first Interview with the
enemy who hfuT ruined her and whose
schemes shtf hud now risked so much to
discover.
CHAPTER XLI.
The Stolon Paper.
Olive entered the room for the inter
view with Mrs. Merrldew with her eyes
downcast and her hands crossed, and
dropped a little curtsey ns If appro
priately awed and humble in the pres
ence of *o great a lady.
This Is the new maid, madam." an
nounced tho housekeeper, nnd Olive
curtseyed again, shot a swift glance at
"the mistress,” and let her eyes fail
again instantly. Mrs. Merrldew was
looking at her very keenly, and Olive
Judged that the scrutiny was Inspired
less by a desire to Judrfe her fitness tor
a servant’s place than by her uneasy
distrust of any stranger coming Into
the house.
Olive had been quite confident that
she would not. be recognized. If. Mr.
Casement, <Muv knew her so well, had
been misled by the disguise, Mrs. Mer-
rldew, who had seen so little of her,
as not likely to pierce It. Her con
fidence was Justified.
'What is your nameT* Mrs. Merrldew
asked her sharply.
"Sure. It’s Molly O’Brien, ma'am."
This with her richest brougue.
1 thought you knew Fdtd not like
Irish girts,** said Mrs. Merrldew to the
housekeeper. "They, are always chat
tering - bo. I hope you ; don’t chatter,
girl."
"I hope I know my place better nor
that, ma’am. Father O’CIafferty would
tell your honor that”—
Never mind that," was the Impa
tient interruption. ”\VWat la her work.
Mrs. Cooper?"
"She’s between-mald, tna’qm," replied
the housekeeper.
Do you know your igork thorough
ly?" • * * -
Sure. Mrs. Cooper can Hdi you that
sjune. ma’am," replied Olive, glancing
at the latter.
“Why, the girl’s deformed. What’s
the matter with your shoulder?"
“They told me I’d grown faster on
this side nor the other, ma’am," and
Olive put her ham\ on,the little hump
she had fashioned nnd moved the arm
piove that she could Use It freely.
"She** a very Btrong girl, madam.”
declared Mrs. Cooper. "She has proved
that already. And we’re very short-
ianded Just now "
"Sure, I’m not short-handed," pro
tested Olive, ns If misunderstanding
this to apply to herself. "See now,"
and she stretched out her two hands,
i Kven, Mrs. Merridew's hard face re
laxed slightly at this. "You have her
(character, of course. Mr*. Cooper?"
( "From her last mistress personally. I
saw her myself nnd said how particu
lar you were, madam.” answered the
hous-ekeeper. telling the He with the
utmost coolness. "Hhe was three years
In her last place."
"Very well. Now mind, girl, do your
work well and you’ll have a comforta
ble place. That will do."
