My di.-irusi of tin- telephone is so
: •• seated that I had forgotten the
• i.-.!i nee of tin* instrument in Glen
ana iiotisi*. where, 1 now learned, it
was tucked away in the butler's pan
ti- for the convenience of the house
k> . ■ in ordering supplies from the
village. After a moment's parley a
woman's voice addressed me distiuctly
—a voice that aT once arrested and
held all my thoughts. My replies
w. re. I fear, somewhat breathless and
wholly stupid.
This is Rosalind; do you remember
me?”
Yes; I remember: I remember

<'he: girl that isn’t just me—the girl
of the daylight, that you ride and sail
with and play tennis with.”
Oh. 1 haven't her; 1 don't want
her—"
Ttearherous man! Volatile Irish
man!"
"Marvelous, adorable Rosalind!”
"That will do. Mr. Donovan”—and
then with a quick change of tone she
asked abruptly:
You are not afraid of trouble, are
you?”
"1 live for nothing else!"
You are not so pledged to the Me
von play tennis with that yon cannot
.vrvt Rosalind if she asks it?"
"No: you have only to ask. But I
niu-" see jou once more—-as Rosa
lind!”
Stop being silly, and listen rare
full.'." And 1 thought I heard a sob]
in the moment's silence before she
spoke.
"I want you to go. at once, to the
bouse of the lioat-maker on Tippeca
noe creek; go as fast as you can!" she
| implored.
To the house of the man who calls
] himself Hartridge, The canoe-maker, at
; Red Gate?”
"Yes: you must see that r.o harm
; cot eS to hint 'o-nlght."
There was no mistaking now the
-■ibs that broke her sentences, and my
mind was so a-whirl with questions
that 1 stammered incoherently.
"Will you go—will you go?” she de
manded in a voire so low and broken
i :liat I scarcely heard.
"Yes, at once,” and the voice van
ished. and while 1 still stood staring
at the instrument the operator at An
nandaie blandly asked me what number
I wanted. The thread had snapped
and the spell was broken. I stared
helplessly at the thing of wood and
wire for half a minute; then the girl’s
appeal and ray promise rose ill my
ntind distinct from all else. I ordered
my horse before returning to the li
brary, where Gillespie was coolly turn
ing over the magazines on the table.
1 was still dared, and something in my
j appearance caused him 10 stare.
"Deen seeing a ghost?” lie asked.
"Xo; just hearing one," I replied.
I had yet to offer some pretext for
leaving him, and as I walked the
length of the room he stilled a yawn,
his eyes falling upon the line of
French windows. 1 spoke of the heat
of the night, but he did not answer,
and I turned to find his gaze fixed
upon one of the open windows.
"What is it, man?” I demanded.
He crossed the 100m in a leap and
was out upon the terrace, peering
down upon the shrubbery beneath.
"What's the row?" I demanded.
"Didn’t you see it?"
"Xo.”
Then it wasn’t anything. I thought
i saw the dago, if you must know.
He'll probably be around looking for
us."
“Humph, you're a little nervous,
that’s ail. You'll stay here all night,
of course? " I asked, without, 1 fear,
much enthusiasm.
He grinned.
“Don't be so cordial! If you'll send
me into town I'll be off.”
I had just ordered the dog cart when
the butler appeared.
' if you please, sir. Sister Margaret
wishes to use our telephone, sir. St.
Agatha's is out of order."
I spoke to the sister as she left the
house, halt' as a matter of courtesy,
half to make sure of her. The tele
phone at St. Agatha’s had been out of
order for several days, she said; and I
walked with her to Sr. Agatha’s gate,
talking of the weather, the garden and
the Holbrook ladies, who were, she
said, quite well.
Thereafter, when f had dispatched I
Gillespie to the village in the dog cart,
1 got into leggings, reflecting upon the
odd circumstance 'hat Helen Holbrook
had been able to speak to me over the
telephone a few minutes before, *sirig
an instrument that had. by Sister Mar
garet's testimony been out of com
mission for several days. The- girl
had undoubtedly slipped away from St.
Agatha's and spoken to me from some
other house’ in the neighborhood; but
this was a matter of little importance,
now that I had undertaken her com
mission.
The chapel clock chimed nine as I
gained the road, and 1 walked my
horse to scan St. Agatha's windows
through the vistas that offered across
the foliage. And there, by tiie open
window of her aunt's sitting room, I
saw Helen Holbrook reading. A table
lamp at her side illumined her slightly
bent head; and, as though aroused by
my horse's quick step in the road, site
rose and stood framed against the
light, with the soft window draperies
fluttering about her.
A Trap for Eavesdroppers
Simple Device Well Calculated to In
sure Privacy.
The eavesdropper, ere applying his
ear. applied his eye. Through the
keyhole another eye looked coldy into
his. He started back, pale with fright
He tiptoed off hurriedly. “I'll lose my
job.” he muttered.
Meanwhile his mistress, the widow,
sat with the young and gallant cap
tain in the room from whose door the
eavesdropper had retreated. A ciga
rette smoldered between her slim fin
gers and her dimpled elbows were
on the table, among the litter of
foie gras sandwiches, cold partridge
and champagne.
The young captain pointed to the
door. A hand mirror, its silver-gilt
back towards him, hung from the
door knob.
“Why did you put that there?”
he asked.
“It is a trap for peepers,” replied

CHAPTER XVI.
An Odd Affair at Red Gate.
As I rode through Port Annandale
the lilting strains of a waltz floated
from tite casino, aud 1 caught a
glimpse of the lake’s cincture of lights.
My head was none too clear from its
crack on the cabin floor, and my chest
was growing sore and stiff from the
slash of the Italian’s knife; but my
spirits were high, and my ears rang
with memories of the Voice. Helen
had given me a commission, and every
fact of my life faded into insignificance
compared to this. The cool night air
rushing by refreshed me. 1 was eager
for the next turn of the wheel, and
my curiosity ran on to the boat-ma
! kcr's house. -
I came now to a lonely sweep, where
the road ran through a heavy wood
I land, and the cool, moist air of the
forest rose round me. The lake, 1
knew, lay close at hand, and the Hart
ridge cottage was not. as I reckoned
my distances, very far ahead. I had
drawn in my horse to consider the
manner of my approach to the boat
maker's, and was jogging along at an
easy trot when a rifle-shot rang out on
my left, front the direction of the
creek, and my horse shied sharply
and plunged on at a wild gallop. He
ran several hundred yards before 1
could check hint, and then 1 turned
and rode slowly back, peering into the
forest’s black shadow for the foe. I
paused and waited, with the horse
dancing crazily beneath me, but tht
woodland presented an inscrutable
front. I then rode on to the unfencec
strip of wood where 1 had left mj
horse before.
I began this narrative with every
intention of telling the whole truth
touching my adventures at Annandale
and 1 cannot deny that the shot from
the wood had again shaken my faith
I in Helen Holbrook. She had sen* .'ait
j to the Tippecanoe on an errand of hei
| own choosing, and 1 had been fired ot
; from ambush near the place to wMoh
she had sent me. I fear that my tover

as i had dismissed other doubts ami j
misgivings about her. >fv fleetiuj I

The houseboat was effectually j

Methodical Life.
A well-known and highly prosperous
business man of Boston who died the
other day attributed his success to his
methodical life. It was carried out to

The Sickroom Bugbear.
The great bugbear of the sickroom
is monotony. This is the problem that
every nurse must meet and study
ways and means to prevent. She may
do this in several ways. She may
alter the appearance of the room oc
casionally by pushing the bed or sofa
to a different part of the room in or
der to give the patient a fresh out
look; the cut flowers may be replaced
by a growing plant; old magazines and
books may be removed and new ones
i take their place; the pictures may be
changed, especially those that hang at
the foot of the bed, or perhaps, a
blank wall may be found to be restful

Utility in Studies.

guages in colleges is somewhat sur
prising. While it may be tme, as he i
claims, that not one in 500 outside of :

valid reason for discontinuing them as

to sweep the college curricula of near

If you had positive proof that a certain remedy for
female ills had made many remarkable cures, would you
not feel like trying it?
If during the last thirty' years we have not succeeded ir»
convincing every fair-minded woman that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has cured thousands and thou
sands of women of the ills peculiar to their sex, then we
long for an opportunity to do so by direct correspondence.
Meanwhile read the following letters which we guarantee
to be genuine and truthful.
Hudson, Ohio.—“I suffered for a long- time from a weakness*
inflammation, dreadful pains each mouth and suppression. I
had been doctoring and receiving only temporary relief, when a
friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com

followed your directions and now, after taking only live bottles
of the Vegetable Compound, 1 have every reason to believe I am
a well woman. I give you full permission to use my testimonial.’*
