no loss clearly her withdrawal of her
question almost the moment she had
spoken it.
I felt the sudden impingement of
Hezeklah's slipper upon my own con
iclence. if 1 may so state the matter.
Qezeklah, playing ghost had confessed
to me that she had visited Cecilia's
ooni. Ilezekiah, amusing herself with
the library chimney and frightening
the servants by stealing into the for
Dldden house through the coalhole, was
i culprit to be scolded and forgiven.
Cat what of Ilezekiah mischievously
filching an article of real value to her
sister? I did not like this turn of
affairs. I must get back to the roof.
Ind Ilezekiah and compel her to re
turn the silver book. Only by tactful
ly managing this could I serve well all
the members of the bouse of Ilolllster.
But first I must leave Cecilia with a
tranquil mind.

CHAPTER XVII.
Lom of th Silvar Notebook.
iUE memoranda of my adven
tures at Hopefleld Manor fall
under two general headings.
On the one hand were the ghost
and the library chimney, on the other
the extraordinary gathering of Cecilia's
suitors. As I followed at Miss Octa
vla's side she seemed to have dis
missed the ghost and the fractious
chimney from her mind. Her humor
changed completely. As In the morn
lng, when, unaccountably abandoning
her habitual high flown speech, she had
asked me about Cecilia's silver note
book, she seemed troubled, and when
we had reached the second floor she
paused and lost herself in unwonted
preoccupation.
"Let us sit here a moment," she said,
Indicating a long davenport In the
broad hall. For the first time her man-1
ner betrayed weariness. She laid her
hand quietly on my arm and looked at
mo fixedly. "Arnold," she said "you
will let me call you Arnold, won't
you?" she added plaintively, and never
in my life had I been so touched by
anything so sweet and gentle and kind
"Arnold, if an old woman like me
should do a very foolish thing in fol
lowing her own whims and then find
that she had probably committed her
self to a course likely to cause unhap
piness, what would you advise her to
do about It?"
"Miss Hollister," I answered, "If you
trusted Providence this morning to
send you a corps of servants when
yours had been most unfortunately
scattered by ghosts or rumors of ghosta,
why will you not continue to have con
fidence that your affairs will always
be directed by agencies equally alert
and beneficent?
"I don't know the game, but I have
found out a lot of things without being
told, so tell me nothing! Remember
that I have something quite remarka
ble, startling even, to show you tomor
row. I have even overcome, you know,
the obstacle you placed In the way of
my discoveries by sending in ahead of
me this morning for the plans of the
house."
I watched her narrowly, but she
was In no wise discomfited.
"Well, I burned them the moment
Hilda brought them bade." she laugh
ed. "I had faith In you, and I wanted
you to manage It all for yourself. I
rather guessed that you would go to
repperton. That was when I still be
lieved." "But you must go on believing.
Makebellevlng is the main cornerstone
and the keystone of the arch of the
happy life."
"You are sure you are not mocking
a foolish old woman?"
"You are the wisest woman I ever
knew," I asserted, and my heart was
in the words.
"I believe you have persuaded me,
but Cecllia"-
"Leave it to me; trust me; lean upon
me. I assure you that all will be
weii.;;
She bent her head and yielded her
self to'roverie for a moment. Then
be sprang to her feet in that Inde
scribably light, ' graceful way that
erased at least fifty of her years from
the reckoning and was herself again.
"Arnold Ames," she said,, laughing a
little but gazing tip at me with unmis
takable confidence and liking In her
eyes, "we will go through with this to
the end. And whether, that slipper
really fell at your feet in Beacon
street or ra the even less likely pre
cincts of Rlttenbouse square or under
the windows of the Spanish embassy
in Washington, I believe that you are
my good knight and that you will see
me safely through this singular adventure.-

"Do you really mean it?" she fal

knew, might bo very distressing."
Miss Octavla was carrying the in
vincible John Stewart Dick away to
the billiard room. lie glared at me
murderously as be trailed glumly after
the lady of the manor. The" others
were crowding about Cecilia agnln, and
I yielded to them willingly. As I
sauntered toward the door Orrasby de

was arrogant and he hissed rather
than spoke.
"I'm directed to command your pros

at 12 o'clock. The business Is important."
I regret, my dear brother, that I
shall be unable to sit with you at that
hour In committee of the whole, and
for two reasons. The first is that I
am paired with Lord Arrowood. You
refused to take him Into your base
compact and allowed him to be thrown
out of the inn for uot paying his bill.
The act was deficient in generosity and
gallantry."
Then I suppose you would think It
a fine thing for such a pauper to mnrry
a woman like that like that, I say?"
and he Jerked his head toward Cecilia.
"I consider a lord of Arrowood as
good as the proprietor of a knitting
mill any day, if you press me for an
opinion." I replied amiably.
"And this from a chimney sweep?"

Yi'slerday afternoon while
! . i. ii. .
i.oo wording on a itorcu at tnc resi
100 denoc of James Sae., (Jcorpe Hall,
tlm tinntM', slipped and foil to the
ground, a distance of sixteen
fei't, and as a result received a
very severe injury to his head and
shoulder and it is a matter of
good luck that he was not injured
more seriously, m tho fall was a
very serious one, and falling in
the shape he did might easily have
Itroken his nock. Dr. E. D. Cum
mins was a I, once summoned and
the injured man removed to his
homo and made as comfortahlo as
his injuries would allow him to
ho, and it is hopeJ that in a few
days ho will ho ahle lo be out and
around again as good as now.
