CHAPTER XXVII.
( Mitt Hope Suggettt.
No sooner bad Miss Maclalre ran
iished than Keith's thoughts turned to
-ward Hope Walte. She would need
someone In her loneliness to take her
1 mind from off her brother's death,
and, besides, much had occurred of
, interest since the funeral, which be
desired to talk over with her. Be
yond even these considerations he was
becoming aware of a pleasure in the
girl's company altogether foreign to
this mystery ' which they were en
deavoring together to solve. He
yearned to be with her, to look Into
her face, to mark how clearly the dif
fering soul changed her from Christie
Maclalre. He could not help but like
the latter, yet somehow was conscious
of totally different atmospheres sur
rounding the two. With one he could
be flippant, careless, even deceitful,
but the other aroused only the best
that was In him, her own sincerity
making him sincere.
Tet there was reluctance In his
steps as he approached the door of
15," a laggardness he could not ex
plain, but which vanished swiftly
enough at Hope's greeting, and the
sudden smile with which she recog
sized him.
"I was sure you would come," she
dec'ared frankly, "and I took an early
lunch so aa to be certain and be here.
It has seemed a long time since."
"And you might have even thought 1
Toad forgotten," Tie answered, releasing
her hand reluctantly, "If you could
have looked into the dining-room
lace., instead of staring out of these
windows."
"Why? How forgotten?" her eyes
opening wide in surprise.
"I had the pleasure of taking supper
with Miss Maclalre."
"Oh!" the exclamation decidedly ex
pressive. "Yes, I come at once to you with
the confession. However, our meet
ing was purely accidental, and so I
hope for pardon."
"Pardon from me? Why, what dif
ference can it possibly make to me?"
"Would you have me consort with
the enemy?" he asked, scarcely daring
to press his deeper meaning.
"Oh, no,' of course not. .1 What did
you talk about? Do you mind telling? 1 that and Keith Keith sitting there
"Not In the least; our conversation before her she would have doubted It
waa entirely Impersonal. She was au. And yet even Keith had come
telling me about Hawley; what a won- nt0 her life so suddenly, so unexpect
derfully good man be is. I have be- edly, as to leave her dazed and un
gun to suspect the fellow ha fas-1 certain, that she extended her hand
clnated the poor girl he is a good and touched him, as though ta make
looking devil, possessed of a tongue .
dripping with honey."
"Surely you do not mean she has
fallen In love with him," and Hope
shuddered at the thought "Why
why that would be impossible for i
- -
for a good woman.
"Standards of morality are not al-.
ways the same," be defended gravely.
"Miss Maclalre's environment has
been vastly different from yours,
Hope. She la a variety hall singer;
probably, from her own account, a
waif since childhood; and Hawley has
come to her in the character of a
friend appealing both to her Interest
end sympathy. I do not know she la
In love with him, I merely suspect she
may be; certainly she Is ready to do
battle on his behalf at the slightest
opportunity. She believes in him, de
fends him, and resents the slightest
Insinuation directed against him. He
even escorts her back and forth from
her work."
"You know this?"
"I certainly do," and he laughed at
the recollection. "Falrbaln met us
coming out of the dining-room you
know what a delightful, blunt, blunder
ing fellow he lsl Well, Miss Christie
must have made an Impression even
on his bachelor heart, for he actually
requested the privilege of escorting
her to the Trocadero, and back to the
hotel after the performance to-night
hinted at a lunch, the gay old dog,
and pranced about like a stage-dour
Johnnie. It was a treat to watch her
face when he blurted It all out, snap
ping his sentences as If he swung a
whlp-lash. She excused herself on
the score of a previous engagement."
"But that was not necessarily with
Hawley."
"I asked her directly, after the doc
tor had disappeared."
"You must have become very famil
iar," questioning once again In her
Tolce.
"So Miss Maclalre evidently thought,
Judging from her manner. However
she answered frankly enough, and
even defiantly added the lnfurmatlou
that the gentleman had something to
Impart to her of the utmost Import
ance, sarcastically asking me If I
didn't wish I could be there and over
hear. 13ut sit down, Hope, until I tell
you all that has occurred."
He went over tbe various events In
detail, watching eagerly tho expres
sion upon her face as she listened in
tently, only occasionally Interrupting
with some pertinent Inquiry. Tbe light
fell to that she eat partially in the
shadow, where ber eyes could not be
read, yet he experienced no difficulty

ple form bending toward him, or lean
ing backward In the chair, her fingers
clasping or unclasping in nervous at
tention. He began with Neb's report, '
repeating, word by word, as nearly as
he could recollect, what had passed
between Hawley and her father. He
paused to inquire if ehe had ever
heard the name Bartlett, but her re
ply was merely a negative shake of
the head. When he described their
missing the train, she was, apparently,
not convinced as to the General's de
parture upon It, although finally agree-1
ing that, if he really believed the re-,
port that the man sought was else
where, it would be characteristic of f
him to accept the first means of get
ting there. "If he only knew I was
here," she exclaimed wearily, "It
might be so different, but, oh, we are
all of us Just groping in the dark."
Then Keith turned to his chance meet
ing with Miss Maclalre, and repeated
carefully their conversation, dwelling
particularly upon the few admissions
I which had slipped through her Hps.
These did not seem Important to eith
er, although they treasured them up
and talked them over. Then, having
exhausted the topic, silence fell be
tween them, Keith asking the privl-

Somehow, It was bard for her to ful

ly it arrectea ner. i ds swuuy passing
events, the complication arising so
suddenly, apparently out of nothing,
left her feeling as though she must
surely awake from a dream. She could
not comprehend what It was all
about; the names Dartlett and Phyl

sented nothing but shadows; and this
other woman this music hall singer
what could there be In common be
tween them? Yet there must be
something something of vital Import
ance to her father something which
had a'ready cost her brother's life.
That was the one thing which made It
seem an actuality which brought It
home to ber as a rugged fact But for
8ure of his actual presence.
"What is it, Hope?"
"Oh, nothing nothing," her voice
breaking In a little sob. "It Is so 811. y,

"I think I underptand, little girl."
he said gravely. "You are totally un

moment's warning you have been
plunged Into a maelstrom of adventure,
and are all confused. It is different
with me since the first shot at Sum
ter my life has been one of action,
and adventure has grown to be the
stimulus I need, and upon which I
thrive, nut I assure you," pressing the
soft hand warmly, "I am real."
"Of course 1 know that; it makes
me glad to know it. If I could only
do something myself, and not Just sit
here, it would all become real enough
to me."
She rose suddenly to her feet, clamp
ing ber hands together, her face
changing with new animation.
"Why couldn't I? I am sure I cou'd.

ue looked at her questlonlngly,
thinking of her beauty rather than of
J what she said.
"Do do I really appear so much

anxiously.
"Very much, Indeed, excepting for
the slight difference In age." I
"That would never be noticed in the
dark, or a poor light Am I the same

"Practically, ye?."
"And my voice? could you distin

sho said quickly. "Of taking her
place, and learning what It Is of so
much Importance Hawley has to re
port Don't you think It might be
done?"
The sheer audacity of this unexpect
ed proposal left him speechless. He
arose to his feet, gripping the back
of the chair, alraoBt doubting If he
could have heard aright his eyrs
searching the girl's face which was
g'owlng with excitement. Of course he
could not permit of her exposure to
such a risk; the scheme was Imprac
ticable, absurd. But was It? Did It
not offer a fair cbance of success?
And was not the possible result
wonny to risk assumed? He cnosea
back the earlier words of protest ure
uttered, puzzled as to what he had
best say. A quick-witted resourceful
woman might accomplish all she pro
posed. "It looks so Blmple," she broke la
Impulsively, moving nearer him.
"Don't you think I could do It? Would
It be unwomanly?"
"The result, if accomplished, would
abundantly Justify the means,, Hope."
he acknowledged at last. "I was not
hesitating on that account, but con
sidering the risk you would Incur."
"That would be so small merely

the theater to the hotel," she plead
ed. "Once here It could make no dif

"Yes," she said, her eyes sparkling
with anticipation, "and I am so glsd

creet. You are not sorry I made the
proposal ?"
"Certainly not At first it struck me
as altogether wrong, but the more I

ley would venture upon any gross
familiarity likely to cost him the gcod
opinion of his ally. There la too muck
at stake.. Walt here, Hope, and I will
be back the very nioment I learn all
that is necessary."
A glance at the office clock con
vinced Keith that, in all probability,
MIsb Maclalre had not, as yet de
parted for the scene of her evening
triumph. Still, it could not be long
before she would, and be lit a cigar,
sitting down In a corner partially
concealed by the clerk's desk to wait
her appehrance. This required longer

the laggard. All the better, as he
would now have no opportunity to un

be necesFcry for them to hurry to the
theater. Whatever the nature 01 me
revelation It would have to wait until
the walk home. The excitement of
the adventure was already creeping
into Keith's blood, his pulse quicken
ing. The two returned alr.:03t lr.. medi
ately, conclusively proving that Miss
Maclalre, fully dressed for the street,
had been awaiting the arrival of her
gallant with some impatience. Hawley
was busily explaining his delay ai
they came down the stairs, and paid
little attention to the seemingly de
serted office. Indeed, Miss Christie
monopolized all his thoughts. With
quick scrutiny the watcher, noted the
more conspicuous articles of apparel

mantilla thrown over her head, the
neatly fitting blue dress, the light
cape covering the shoulders surely

these, so as to pass muster under the

In their rear to feel safe from obser
vation he followed, noting with In
creased pleasure the rapidity with
which they covered the required dis
tance. Clearly Miss Christie was al
ready nervous lest she have not suf
ficient time remaining in which to
properly dress for her act, and there
would be so exchange of confidences
on the outward Journey. Hawley left
her, as Keith anticipated, at the stage
entrance, the lady hastening within.

the front of the house, and finally,
purchasing a ticket, entered, the per
formance already having begun.
Keith knew perfectly the arrange
ment of the theater the seats la
front; tables all through the center;
a gallery filled with benches; a noisy
orchestra beneath the stage; a crowd
ed audience of men, with only here
and there a scattered representative
of the gentler sex; busy waiters dodg
ing in and out among the tables, and
down the aisles, filling orders for
liquids from the nearby saloon. The
air would be puogsot with tbe odor
of drink, thick with the fume ef to
bacco, and noisy with voices, except
as some special favorite ea Ue stag

and auditorium, and the management
brooked no interference with his
artists. It had required some nerve
to originally enforce this rule, togeth
er with a smart fight or two. but at
this period it was acknowledged and
respected. No sooner had Hawley
vanished than Keith found occasion
to enter into casual conversation with
the door-keeper, asking a number of
Question!, and leaving impressed
upon the mind of that astute individ

a "gent" enamored of one of the
stage beauties. A coin slipped quietly

this Impression, and unlocked discreet
