It Mruck him for the first time that there were quite a number of other things about this cousin of his that he also luted. It was a shock to his hanpy-eo lucky nature: he was a man who wished to be friends with everyone. He could not undertsand why it had been such an easv thing to quarrel with Norman.

He supposed he had Mrs. Baring to thank for all the gossip; he had always distrusted that worn- i an. He glanced at his watch nearly five. He rang the bell, and asked the maid if she knew what time Mr. Wicklow would be in. "He said about five, sir. He said if anybody called I was to be sure to ask them to wait." "Meaning me, I suppose," Barry . i u . : t.. .H .l. imuukiil grimiy, as bug wcui mway. He wished he had not come; he had only walked into further unpleasant ness. He had almost decided not to wait when he heard his uncle's step outside, and a moment later he was in the room. He looked pleased to see Barry. He greeted him heartily. "I hope you haven't been waiting long," he said. Barry did not answer; he knew what his uncle was assuming. He wondered how he was to disillusion him. Mr. Wicklow brought out a box of cigars. "About our little conversation this morning," he said, tentatively. "I've been making a few enquiries. Barry, and T hfar that thi ffirl is most un desirable, shall we. say? My inform ant was quite a 'disinterested party.' No, I shall not mention names, but I am more determined than ever to put a stop to this nonsense with Nor man." "It will be a hard job," said Barry flatly. "Norman isn't a child." "He is an extremely foolish vouth," Mr. Wicklow asserted calmly. "This is not the first time I have had this trouble with him, as you know." Barry knew it well enough. He had a vivid recollection of other oc casions when Norman had wanted to rush off and get married to some girl who had taken his fancy; oc casions w hen he had declared him ,vc!f broken hearted and his life ruined if opposition prevented him from doing so. But he made no (comment. "I look to you, Barry," said Mr. Wicklow again, "to help me." Barry moved restlessly. "I can't I hate the job! Besides, it's pure conceit to think I could do it. I'm sorry, but it's no good." Mr. Wicklow drew his chair closer to the table, and leaned his arms on it, looking earnestly at his nephew. "Barry," he said, "I'll pay your debts and give you 5,000 pounds be sides if you'll do this for me. Nor man is my only son: it will break his mother's heart. if he marries this girl. Besides, it can't be a serious attachment; I know him so well. It's nnl l.Jn, 1 am afrairt rtf hilt the Pirl. a.She means to have him, she'll marry him before he knows where he is before he realizes that he is making a complete fool of himself." He held out his hand. "Come, Barry, it's not much I'm asking you, just a harmless flirtation, a transfer of af fectionstemporarily." Barry did not look up; he was thinking of his cousin as he had looked not half an hour ago, his sneering words, with their hidden dislike and veiled animosity, and something in his heart longed to be able to hit back hard 1 After all. perhaps it was not a se rious attachment I Norman had had so many similar affairs, and they had all ended in smoke. He raised his eyes and met his uncle's. After a moment he put out his hand, unwill ingly enough, and took the elder man's. .. . "Oh, all right," he said gruffly. If you're sure it's not serious; and if I fail. Mr. Wicklow laughed. You Wabash Traill No. 6 LV. CHICAGO 10:30 A.M. AR. DETROIT 5:55 P.M. AR. BUFFALO ..... 2:50 A.M.

When evening came she could bear it no longer; she rang up Barry 't rooms. The phone was answered by the maid. "Mr. Wicklow was out," she said. "Out I" Agnes Dudley echoed the word eagerly. "Do you of course you don't know if he is coming to see ine this evening? I am Mrs. Dudley." There was a little pause; she could hear the heavy beating of her heart. Then the maid's voice, answering deprecatingly: "I couldn't say, I am sure, ma'am, but but Mr. Wicklow said he was going out of town. He took a port manteau with him, ma'am, and told me he did not expect to be back for a fortnight." Agnes caught her breath. "Out of town I Oh, where has he gone?" There was a ring of very genuine distress in her voice. "Surelv he left an address?" But the answer came back with unmistakable truth. "No, ma'am, Mr. Wicklow left no ddress; and he said he should not be wanting any of his letters sent on." CHAPTER III. Once Barry Wicklow made no hi mind to do a thine he went nn with it right away; he never allowed him self time in which to reconsider it, which was sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad. In this case he did not much rare how it turned out. He made his few preparations recklesslv. His heart was still full of a smoulderins anger against Agnes Dudley, and against his cousin. He considered that they had both treated him rot tenly. His one gratification, as he listened to his uncle's last words of nstruction, was that he honed he was about to pay them both out: be yond that he did not care in the least what happened. "You haven't told me the name of the blessed girl," he said presently, with irritation. "How on earth am I to find her? Mr. Wicklow oroduced a tptter from his pocket. Don t be so lmDatient. mv dear boy," he said mildly, more mildly than Barry had ever heard him sneak before. "I can give you all the in formation you require. The er girl's name is Hazel Bentley." He paused and looked at Barry. A ridiculous name I" he said, with exas peration. "It savours of the theater." Barry was scribbline the name on the back of an envelope. "Rather a pretty name," he said absently. "Ad dress, please?" Mr. Wicklow referred atrain to Kit letter. "Cleave Farm, Bedmund," he said. "I understand that she lives with an uncle who is a small farmer." He folded the letter and restored it to his pocket. "And now, Barry, if you can give me some idea as to what you propose to do " Barry gave an impatient ex clamation. "I haven't any more idea than the dead. I Shall put up at an inn, I suppose, if there is one, and have a look round." He laughed shamefacedly. "I sounds life a romance of the dark ages," he said, with a sort of sav agery. "I'm the villain of the piece, plotting to carry off the fair heroine." ADVERTISEMENT. When toxic poisons penetrate the intestinal walls EXPECT THE WORST! Next follows polluting of the blood!

"Well if I fail-" "You won't fail," said Mr. Wick low. positively. There was a moment's silence. "After all," he went on rather un comfortably, "there's nothing in the whole proceeding. You simply work up a harmless flirtation." "It won't be so easy to do. Sup posing Norman takes it into his head to come down? A iiice sort of fool I shall look with him chipping in and wanting to runch my head." "Norman won't 'chip in,' as you put it," his uncle assured him. "I am taking Norman home with me to night and keeping him there indefi nitely." "He may refuse to stay." Mr. Wicklow dismissed the idea as unworthy of consideration. "You get sway first thing in the morning, he said. Iheres nothing hke striking while the iron is hot, Barry; and when you get there" he smiled rather nervously at Barry's sudden face "well, I'll back an Irishman all the world over to win a girl's heart quicker than any other man." Barry's face flamed. "Confound it all, I don't want the wretched girl's heart," he said wrathfully. "If it's going to mean anything like that " Mr. Wicklow saw he had made a mistake; he rose to his feet. "I was only chaffing, my boy. It doesn't mean anything like that. Get her to break with Norman that's all I want; and if anything unforeseen should happen, trust me to stand by you." "The onlv thine that will happen will be that I come back in 24 hours," Barry declared; but he cheered urJ a little; after all there would be a cer tain amount of fun in it, he thought, and if this Haael, whatever her name was, chose to give him the cold r shoulder he could but pack his .traps and catch a train home and leave Norman to his fate.

"Well, goodby and good luck," said Mr. Wicklow, Barry hung up the receiver with out answering; on the whole he was rather relieved to hear of Norman's accident. It gave him a free hand; he felt almost cheerful as he threw his bag into n taxi and told the man to drive to King's Cross.
