Jenks threw open the door of a second room in which could be seen ‘ be ?“ tl ’“ e ° f a «hower apparatus . bLhl Ir 1 1 aDd rcelaln of „ a bathtub. h P ° fittlngs ”The bathroom Is very small, sir" the man apologetically explained, “and there’s no window In It. It was made two years ago, out of a big closet. But you will be quite com fortable.__And you wi ll always extra linen In the closet just out side your door, in the corridor. That closet is the mate to this one." Renshaw returned to the bed room and its blazing fire. He found that Jenks had lifted the heavy traveling case to a small trunk stand and was unfastening K the straps. ■ I’ll attend to that, thanks” he said, with a gesture of dismissal. - Very well, sir,” Jenks turned to go. Shall I come back at half past seven and help you dress?” No thanks; 111 get along.” Jenks hesitated. Excuse me, sir, but Mr. Camp bell regards it as a part of my duty to assist nny gentlemen guests of his—-and 1 shall he very glad to do ! '7yll Thnts ling 1 ail can right, ’ sir ” but I’m not a gentleman guest. I'm here to stay, and I prefer to look out for my self. So I won’t trouble you.” Renshaw spoke pleasantly, but he was feeling puzzled. Standing by the fireplace with his elbow oji t i drifting 1 f,iT antP) past and the his (,e man’s tached face, glance he wondered, without much interest, why the creature was so suddenly friendly. An liour.ago he had been furiously resentful of the neweom er’s presence. Now he seemed all eagerness and deference. “Are you planning to have break fast up here, sir?” he respectfully inquired. "Good Lord, no!” Renshaw spoke with sudden ir ritation. Why the devil was the fellow so persistent? Was it mere ly because he realized that the Pad open betrayal of his antagonism been unwise? Or was it—the thought stood stolidly at the en trance of the secretary’s mind until he finally permitted the unwelcome visitor to enter—was it because Jenks knew that this newcomer was so infernally dependent on others that even at this moment every instinct in him wus calling for assistance. What’s your name? ■ ii Jenks, sir. •» Well, Jenks, there's exactly one thing you can do. "Yes, sir. The man's tone was eager. Get out, please, and be quick about it!” Jenks got out. His surface dig nity was unimpaired, but the door closed on his exit with a tempera mental snap. Left alone, Renshaw dropped info antly maxing ffre, and rested his head against its padded back'with a sigh of exhaustion. He was tired —tired to the soul; but from the °f that soul the hermit thrush of hope sent out a solitary note. He had put through the Plan. He had won that little contest of wills with Jenks, and had given no outward sign of the effort it cost him. Now he would rest. Of course he ought to be unpacking, bathing, dressed for dinner, Hi* present duty was to relax—to let the atmosphere of the old house sink Into him. < ^°.» r 1 ftb * urd be b Jenks * d ^een to lmag CtanipbeiM Jenks and Miss spoiled .servant was merely a and Impersonally resenting any newcomer, and al ready contrite over his mistake and anxious to make amends. A 8 to the girl, that lovely girl with the beautiful hair and the P™ ud and Petfwt mouth, she was afraid that he, Renshaw, was going to be a nuisance. The human be ings in Tnwno Ker, thrown togeth er so closely as they were—the soli tude of the place suddenly Im pressed him; surely it was miles away from any neighbor—those humans must form a close corpora tion. It was not to be wondered at that they should resent an Intru sion like this. A small log, blazing on the and irons, parted nnd dropped with a rattle and a shower of sparks. Renshaw did not hear it. The door opened an inch, and some one ueered at him through the crack. Jf’dld f 8 «t opened not hear and the closed. sound He It made * 'condition was tound of well-being, new and vastly comforting—at peac *’ relaxed, and at last drifting !

That he should give this detail a thought was sur Prising That he should have the moment’s concern that now fol owed was nothing short of amaz «« was actually hoping that * glr dld not ^ow, that old Campbell p , had not told her! The reflection, though vivid in lts llwie Instant of life, perished al most as soon as it was bom What difference did it make what the girl or aI) y one else knew or thought? He turned off thejights, opened hts doo r andstrode out into thehall. Again, as in the corridor down st alrs, he caught around a corner tbe dutter of a disappearing bit of white stuff—a natural enough phe namenon ln any honse, he reflect e d ’ ? nd interesting only because of tbe 1 impression of flight it conveyed, Hie attention to the incident was fieetln - Evidently Campbell’sserv ant8 wpre a curious lot, and the ar kJ 8 ' f ri ; a « er in thi s isolated i tblem an event out of Ml Proportion to its . , Importance. He entered the living room at ex artly one minute before eight, and a hlm f J la tbe ” ppned fig ! ,r thp of Jenks, df *' r felt coining behind e to announce dinner. Campbell and his granddaughter were already in the r ° om ' th r, ' at !, pr bef,>re a Prand Plano which Renshaw, in his ab f "is raction, first visit. had not The observed girl had during been Pm.vmg or singing, he assumed, though he had heard no music. Now, s eated sMewise on the piano-stool, she , was absently turning the sheets on th « music rack and lending an ear to the monologue of an old lady «bo Sat with Campbell before the fireplace. Her resemblance to him Placed her as the old man’s sister, ,mf she bad entered the world ten or twelve years later. Like Verity, she was in full evening dress. She wore a superb diamond-and-pearl collar; and half a dozen diamond, sapphire and emerald rings relent lessly called attention to the en iarged joints of her lingers. Her white hair was as elaborately waved and puffed as if she were going to a ball. As Renshaw went toward her he heard the conclusion of her monologue, delivered on a high pitched, plaintive key and without tb ® 8 ’ gbtest P ause: Of course you will , belittle the matter Davy as you always do but I\e told you before and I tell you again that your habit ofyleaving so many details to the servants will eventually drive us out of house and home as to the way they act some of them didn’t get in till after twelve last night though where they could have been is more than I know unless James drove them to town in the service car which Verity has expressly forbidden him to do without permission but they never pay any attention to what one or ders anyway so what is the use of giving them orders—” Old David Campbell raised a thin hand. mom e nt, Kitty,” he said good-humoredly. “Let me present Renshaw, this lady is my sister, Mrs. Pardee, and she’s got more troubles than anyone fyou ever met before. She’ll tell them all to you, too; you may he sure of that.” He chuckled over his own joke, while Renshaw bowed over the wrinkled hand that -lay in his own. The voice of Jenks placidly re pented the announcement of dinner, and David Campbell offered his arm to his sister. Renshaw hesitated. he expected formally to escort Miss Campbell? Or would she re sent such an assumption on his part? She was as proud as the devil, that girl—every line of her and every glance of her eyes proved that. Also, she was really amazing ly lovely. Feeling very unsure of himself, he approached her and for mally offered his arm, on which she remotely laid a perfect hand. To gether they walked the length of the long room nnd, crossing the hall, entered the dining room on its op posite side. Like the living room, it was large nnd beautiful. There was spacious ness ln all the rooms of the old house, and « beauty of furnishing for which the somewhat confuted architecture of the exterior had not prepared one. Fotfr high-backed and carved Florentine chairs waited for their occupants at the round table, whose tall orange candles, aided by the firelight, gave the big room itA sole illumination. Renshaw began to feel very much as if he were in a dream. In the In which he had anoroacheff OwapbeH that afternoon ha would have agreed to clean out furnace* and work around the grounds. As be R,l10(i committed to any » task he was offered, however me nui. Yet here he was, an Intimate part of a charming group, seated at .tuw of old Mrs - Tarilee, and with the beauty of Verity Campbell opposite him on which to feed his * yas ; vf acknowledged the beauty, Z t r^ . e r^ ftp « t,t Itwas - but 11 bad no message for T’ wnce, , looking ., ^ the SrSSSLFTJg** across table, he oL e8 and for t hem - Tbpre was « <r; m r, danc , , ' nR ,lgb ^ *■ them— * nh’ker of sunshine on the corners ''ll,. e of °J her * dark mouth P°°‘- quivered Also, In the a came. a *5 8 ,f’ Mercifully 77!'

' a «l« « * had a rend y too frequently supplied, though their association was so brief—an emotion of mingled ad mI ™tion and resentment, unusual and unsettling. To banish it, he turned to Verity. ‘7 s M " dart ‘ e Hvoeslef having one the family, then, ora guest. Who ever she was, Miss Campbell liked her. The modulations of the girl’s voice on the three words she had spoken made that quite clear. When dinner was over, Campbell ment Sty in the stiff lines of his^houl an tJS 8tCUrdyC9mmanded IM. But, at least. It would ell mi nate the necessity of a general con versation. He dropped into a chair In a corner near the piano, and, though he was aware of the unwls fom into of the his black course, abyss let himself that always sink awaited his unguarded moments After all, had he done right to corae here? Hadn’t he, instead, added the capstone to the towering structure of his misery? For he had offered himself, Aid now It was to ° late to retreat. Se was bought and committed to God alone knew what enterprise—for both Stanley and Campbell had hinted that Ms oew Ufa, if he entered upon It, might hold more than the routine ° 1 possibilities I He pulled himself present^ up in a sudden : ascent waThappenlng to the hlm-soSe Something nl 1 wonderful^as m hou?Tf h as mat sleen had been flowing A stream of music had been past him: and now as he began to listen, it seemed to lift him and bear him on U to another world, a world of love and passion and beauty. The girl was singing -and the‘girl’s singing was unlike any he had heard before. What she was singing was a Russian foik song, whose accompaniment was like swifttv flowing water. VThen she had finished, David Campbell was asleep; but the piain tive voice of Mrs. Pardee broke the momentary stillness “I do wish Verity that vou’d learn SO me cheerful songs such as other girls sing gay and bright you know from the musical comedies there must he cheerful music in the world though we never hear any—” Renshaw rose abruptly and went to the piano, “Thank vou verv much ” he said “And—good-night ” For an instant her deep eves met his, their expression as remote as his own “Coed-night, Mr. Renshaw," she Sa j f t cnsnally. Renshaw crossed hack to the little old lady bv the fire, ‘Tm slipping off to tnv room, he explained. "If Mr. Campbell should W ant roe—” “H P won’t he’ll sleep till ten and* then James will come in and take him to bed how he can sleep so much at his age T don’t know I my self don’t average five hours a night last night I lay awake from twelve try five that’s how I happened to hear those servants come In— O In Fnnie way Renshaw sternme d the verbal tide and made his es cape. As he approached the door of his room, it opened and two per sons came out—Jenks and a wom an. The woman was immaculate in a white gown, white cap, and white apron, but she was not the trim housemaid of one’s dreams. She was past middle»ge and inclined to stoutness, and the expression of her plain face was rather sour. ■ This is Annie, sir, the chamber maid. We’ve been airing your room and putting in fresh linen—” Jenks spoke so quickly that Ren straw, wbo lft his abstraction would have passed the pair almost without noticing them, looked at them with closer attention. It then occurred to him that the enterprise of chang ing the linen In his room hardly called for the efforts of two serv ants, but he did not dwell on the thought. Also, Annie was contrib uting her modest share to the ver bal report. “You will always find extra tow els on the shelf of this closet, sir, M she said primly. “I leave the extra supply for the floor there, because there’s no place In the bathroom but the one on the rack.” « And—and excuse me, sir, but there’s another thing.** Jenks was speaking again, and Annie, with fitting humility ln the presence of her superior, moved a little to one side. Might I speak frankly, sir?” Jenks was almost humble, “Of course,” Renshaw waited with his detached air. The man wet his lips. “There’s—there’s some queer things going on in the old house, sir. If you hear odd noises during the night, It's best to pay no atten tion to them. h Renshaw frowned. “Odd noises?” he repeated. “What kind of noises?” “That’s all I ean«"say, sir. And I’m exceeding my dnty, sir. In say ing that much. But it’s well meant." Renshaw nodded, his half-formed interest relaxing under a memory of certain sentences in his interview with Campbell to which he had GRIFFIN DAILY NEW? tmched no gr.... importunes ut the time. V "All right, Jenks. Thank you,” he said, and passed on. As he closed his door he glanced back. Both Jenks and Annie were standing where he had left them, staring af ter him. Caught In the act. they started down the corridor and part ed at Its end, Jenks descending the staircase, the woman disappearing armmd a distant corner. The flut ter of her skirt os she went stirred Renshaw’s memory.. Surely twice before today be had seen the final wMsk of that Rk,rt - He entered his room, syil slight ly frowning. Everything was in or der. It was all reassuringly natural, and yet—what the deuce was there about Jenks’ manner that got on one’s Imagination and made one ex aggerate the importance of the sim piest trifles? He undressed slowly, but instead of going to bed be Slipped on his dressing gown and, after turning off Sfowffheflm h«X heMn^hls Thwe^aSln?'his f leLed and^iacU head at himself The simple truth was that he did not an ;j. e ,} ar(J t0 g0 t(1 j,efl tinder the surface atmosphere of comfort and normality that lay over the house. something had been injected, some thing intangible.

They were not footsteps. They were, quite plainly by this time, such sounds as might have been made by the dragging of a heavy body along the floor, and the? were accompanied by what sounded like the breathing of a huge, exhausted animal. Yet an exhausted animal would hardly be dragging itself along the corridors of Tawno Ker at twenty minutes past twelve o’clock at night. “There’s some queer things going on in the old house, sir. If you hear odd noises during the night, it Is best to pay no attention to them.” That was indefinite ln Itself, but definite enough as far as he, Ren shaw, was concerned. In different words, but quite as plainly, Camp bell had said the same thing. It was not Renshaw’s business to Investi gate odd noises at Tawno Ker. On the contrary, It seemed plain tbat he was expected to ignore them. Everything would be explained to him In due time, and ln the Inter val If Campbell wished his assist ance he would ask for it, Renshaw’s present cue was discretion—which certaily did not mean that he was expected to get out of bed and go chasing around In drafty corridor* (TO BE CONTINUED.) i Our Daily Story V-i. . — ii — ....... .. ..... ■ ■ - Announcing an Engagement By JANE OSBORN “You’re a pretty girl Lucy " grandmother said, regarding her granddaughter narrowly, “and you ougltt to have more beaux,” , “Why, grandmother, protested Lucy. ”1 have as many men friends as the other girls—” “Not enpugh, and not the sort you wiint,” replied her grandmother. . “The trouble with you, Lucy, Is that you aren’t pert enough. I know your mother would be shocked at me for saying that. She’s so proud to think that you men't one of these modern flappers—smoking cigarettes and carrying a flask and the rest—that she Is perfectly con tent with you the way you are—" “Maybe you don't know,” Lucy In terrupted proudly, “that I’ve had three proposals this summer." “Pooh,” said the grandmother. “Wasn’t one of them worth consid ering; besides it's not n good plan to count your scalps. But, as I wa* trying to aay, there’s a big differ ence between . t&e , brazen 4 flapper and a Klrl tbat u as u>e, * k ns a prim - Men like pertness-dld when 1 was young > and 1 t> n, C ss they do yet Why, grandmother! ;”Take It or leave it,” said Grand mother Mills, as she bent her iro*< grn.v head over her colorful em broidery stretched before her. M I’ll probably take it," laughed Lucy, as she rose and drew on her coat “I generally do take your ad vice—and profit by it. Now I’m off to the Red Cross headquarters. We’ve been getting some boxes ready to send West. I’ve got to go and help pack.” Lucy walked slowly down the street nnd did a deal of thinking as she walked. She concluded that her grandmother was right. Prob ably she—-Lucy—was pretty, but the men she knew didn't always seem to find her so. There was Radnor Jackson—Radnor was not one of the men friends of whom she had boasted to her grandmoth er. There was no reason why Rad nor shouldn’t admire her; they were together often enough and Lucy was always very pleasafat. But un doubtedly she wasn’t pert enough. The only other person at head quarters was a meek little high school girl who had come that af ternoon to help her. A pale young man came into the rooms, peered around through his spectacles, and asked Lucy if the boxes had been sent West yet. Lucy recognized him as the new minister of a nearby country congregation. He had some contributions to make In the way of garments made by bis Ladles’ Aid society. “You were a perfect lamb." Lucy said, clapping her hands, “to bring those things ail the way In.” And then putting out two Imploring arms: “There are some things up on that closet shelf that we want to put in the boxeg, and I just can’t reach them. Would you hop up on that chair and lift them down?” “Would I though 1” said the young man, forgetting for the instant that he was a clergyman ln a clerical collar. He lingered with Lucy for ten unnecessary minutes, and left easting miration. hack smiles of happy ad So far pertness had worked very nicely. jn the course of another bonr the three boxes were packed nnd Lucy and her meek Uttle assistant faced each other wondering. “How can we get them fastened shut?” asked the girt. “We ought to have a man. ‘Til get one,” said Lucy. "Walt—” Lucy went to, the door and, glanc ing out, espied an immaculately dressed man of about sixty passing. “If you can hammer a box shut," she said, looking pertly at him, “1 wish to goodness you would.” Somewhat confused, the immacu late stranger came into the head quarters, and under Lucy's direc tions and amidst many ill-hidden chuckles he got the boxes ready for shipment. Then ' he went, asking Lucy for her name, but Dot giving his own. Pertness had worked so well thus far that Lucy determined to keep it up at least for the remainder of the day. Just before dinner time she telephoned to Radnor Jackson. “Say, this is Lucy,” she said. ‘Tve been working like a little busy bee an d ny . Rad. and I Just feel like do ing something thrilling.
