CHAPTER XXXIII.
Double Cuning.
An old oaken desk with a deep
body stood by the window in a
room that overlooked St. Jame's
Park from a height The room was
large, furnished and decorated in
the mode by someone who had
brought taste to the work; but the
hand of the bachelor lay heavy upon
it. John - Marlowe unlocked the
desk and drew a long, stout envelop
from the back of the well.
"I understand," he said to Mr.
Cupples, "that you have read this."
"I read it for the first time two
days ago," replied Mr. Cupples, who
seated on a sofa, was peering about
the room with a benignant face.
"We have discussed it fully."
Marlowe turned to Trent. "There
is your manuscript," he said, laying
the envelop on the table. "I have
gone over it three times. I do not
believe there is another man who
could have got at as much of the
truth as you have set down there."
Trent ignored the compliment.
He sat by the table gazing stonily
at the fire, his long legs twisted be
neath his chair. "You mean, of
course," he said, drawing the en
velop towards him, "that there is
more of the truth to be disclosed
now. We are ready to hear you as
soon as you like. I expect it will be
a long story, and the longer the
better, so far as I am concerned; I
want to understand thoroughly.
What we should both like, I think,
is some preliminary account of
Manderson and your relations with
him. It seemed to me from the first
that the character of the dead man
must be somehow an element in the
business."
"You were right," Marlowe an
swered grimly. He crossed the room
and seated himself on a corner of
the tall cushion-topped fender. "I
will begin as you suggest."
"I ought to tell you beforehand,"
said Trent, looking him in the eyes,
"that although I am here to listen
to you, I have not as yet any reason
to doubt the conclusions I have
stated here." He tapped the en
velop. "It is a defense that you will
be putting forward you under
stand, that?"
"Perfectly." Marlowe was cool
and in complete posession of him
self, a man different indeed from the
worn out, Hervous being Trent re
membered at Marlstone a year and a
half ago. His tall, lithe figure was
held with the perfection of muscular
tone. His brow was candid, his
blue eyes were clear, though they
still had, as he paused collecting his
ideas, the look that had troubled
Trent at their first meeting. Only
the lines of his mouth showed that
he knew himself in a position of dif
ficulty, and meant to face it
"Sigsbee Manderson was not a
man of normal mind," Marlowe be
gan in his quiet voice. "Most of
the very rich men I met witfy in
America had become so by virtue
of abnormal greed, or abnormal in
dustry, or abnormal personal force,
or abnormal luck. None of them
had remarkable intellects. Mander
son delighted too in heaping up
wealth; he worked incessantly at it;
he was a man of dominant will; he
had quite his share of luck;butwhat
made him singular was his brain
power. In his own country they
would perhaps tell you that it was
his most striking characteristic; but
there are hundreds of them who
would have carried out his plans with
just as little consideration for others
if they could have formed the
plans.
"I used to think that his strain of
Indian blood, remote as it was,
might have something to do with
the cunning and pitilessness of the
man. , Strangely enough, the ex
istence of that strain was unknown
to anyone but himself and me. It
was when he asked me to apply my
taste for genealogical work to his
own obscure family history that I
made the discovery that he had in
him a share of the blood of the
Iroquois chief Montour and his
French wife, a terrible woman who
ruled the savage politics of the
tribes of the Wilderness 200 years
ago. The Mandersons were active
in the fur-trade on the Pensylvania
border in those days, and more
than one of them married Indian
women. Other Indian blood than
Montour's may have descended to
Manderson, for all I can say.
through previous and subsequent
unions; some of the wives' anteced
ents were quite untraceable, and
there were so many generations of
pioneering before the whole country
was brought under civilization.
Manderson was thunderstruck at
what I told him, and was anxious
to conceal it from every soul. Of
course I never gave it away while
he lived, and I don't think he sup
posed I would; but I have thought
since that his mind took a turn
against me from that time onward.
It happaned about a year before his
death."
"Had Manderson," asked Mr.
Cupples, so unexpectedly that the
other started, "any definable reli
gious attitude?"
Marlowe considered a. moment.
"None that I ever heard of," he said
Worship and prayer were quite un
known to him, so far as I could sec.
and I never heard him mention re
ligion. I should doubt if he ha.
any real sense of God at all, or if
he was capable of knowing God
through the emotions. But I un
derstood that as a child he had had
a religious up-bringing with a
strong moral side to it His pri
vate life was, in the usual limited
sense, blameless. He was almost
ascetic in his habits, except as to
smoking. I lived, with him five years
without ever knowing him to tell a
direct verbal falsehood, constantly
as he used to practise deceit in other
forms. Can yon understand the
soul of a man who never hesitated
to take steps that would have the
effect of hoodwinking people, who
would use every trick of the markets
to mislead, and who was at the
same time scrupulous never to utter
a direct lie on the most insignificant
matter? Manderson was like that,
and he was not the only one. I
suppose you might compare the
state of mind to that of a soldier
who is personally a truthful man,
but who wil stick at nothing to de
ceive the enemy. The rules of the
game allow it; and the same may be
said of business as many business
men regard it. Only with them it
is always war-time."
"It is a sad world," observed Mr.
Cupples.
"Asyou say," Marlowe agreed,
"Now I was aying that one could
always take Manderson's word if
he gave it in a definite form. The
first time I ever heard him utter a
downright lie was on the night he
died; and hearing it, I believe, saved
me from being hanged as his mur
derer." Marlowe stared at the light above
his head, and Trent moved im
patiently in his chair. "Before we
come to that," he said, "will you tell
us exactly on what footing you were
with Manderson during the years
you were with him."
"We were on very good terms
from beginning to end," answered
Marlowe. "Nothing like friendship
he was not a man for making
friends but the best of terms as
between a trusted employee and his
chief. I went to him as private sec
retary just after getting my degree
at Oxford. For a long time I liked
the position greatly. When one is
attached to an active American
plutocrat in the prime of life one
need not have many dull moments.
Besides, it made me independent.
My father had some serious busi
ness reverses about that time, and
I was glad to be able to do with
out an allowance from him. At the
end of the first year Manderson
doubled mjsalary. 'It's big money,
he said, 'but I guess I don't lose.'
"You see, by that time I was do
ing a great deal more than accom
pany him on horseback in the morn
ing and play chess in the evening,
which was mainly what he had re
quired. I was attending to his
houses, his farm in Ohio, his shoot
ing in Maine, his houses, his cars
and his yacht. I had become a
walking railway guide and an ex
pert cigar buyer. I was always
learning something.
"Well, now you understand what
my position was in regard to Man
derson during the last few years of
my connection with him. It was a
happy life for me on the whole. I
was busy, my work was varied and
interesting. I had time to amuse
myself, too, and money to spend.
At one time I made a fool of my
self about a girl, and that was not .a
happy time; but it taught me to un
derstand the great goodness of Mrs.
Manderson." Marlowe inclined his
head to Mr. Cupples as he said this.
"She may choose to. tell you about
it. As for her husband, he had
never varied in his attitude towards
me, in spite of the change that came
over him in the last months of his
life, as you know. He treated me
well and generously in his unsym
pathetic way, and I never had a feel
ing that he was less than satisfied
with his bargain that was the sort
of footing we lived upon. And it
was that continuance of his attitude
right up to the end that made the
r e v e 1 a t i on so shocking when I w a s

Faries fly 'round .
And our senses
Go whirling
At the birthday party

Was the king
Of holidays.

The baby's fun
Is no fun at all
To grown-up
Girl or boy.
Yet the birthday cake
Appeals to us
And we like its size
As it grows and glows
But our birthday
Comes
In the summer time
When the sun shines hot
And fries
And bakes
And boils the earth.
Of course

Folks didn't mind
But now there's
A commotion.
The neighbors neigh
And boldly say
That we are more than 23

And that our birthday cake
Gives too much heat
For the summer.

My HEART and

Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations
of a Wife
Why Madge Worried as She StaiteJ
for Home.
I stayed the night at Lillian's, and
she and I talked until far into the
morning hours. It seemed as
though we discussed everything nd
everybody we knew, always except
ing the one topic which, lay nearest
our lips, the news of Harry Under
wood's reappearance in the land of
the living and the effect his return
to life would have upon Robert
Savarin.
Of course, my lips were sealed un
til Lilliark broached the subject, md
though she several times skirted the
topic, yet she quickly veered away
from it again. I gathered the im
pression that she wished to speak
to me of the matter, yet sternly
repressed the impulse.
A Quick Breakfast.
At any rate, she finally left my
room to go back to her own with no
more weighty confidence than the
hurried exclamation:
"Just look at that clock, will you?
And you with a school on your
hands tomorrow morning. I'm a
shining mark as a hostess. Good
night, and sincerest apologies."
And in the morning we had both
slept so soundly that Betty sulked
over our hurried breakfast.
" 'Taint no use at all cooking fcr
folks what don't take time to eat
like quality," she declared.
"We talked so late that we over
slept," Lillian said placatingly.
"Doan' need to tell me nuflin 'bout
talking so late," Betty rejoined with
the privileged impudence of htr
long service. "What with dem cats
in de court a yowlin' an' a man
down street singin at the top of his
voice, an' you two gabblin' all night,
Ah nebbah got no sleep mahseif.
An' Ah'm jest plum laid out with a
misery in mah back and haid dis
mawnin' 'count ob gettin' no sleep.
Ah cert-in-ly wouldn't have mixed
up no biscuits with mah haid in dis
condition if Ah'd knowed you wasn't
goin' to care nothin bout em.
"We'll eat double portions next
time," Lillian promised carelessly,
and Betty departed grumbling.
-"Do you suppose we did disturb
her sleep?" I asked concernedly.
Madge's Mind Disturbed.
"Not a chancel" Lillian rejoined.
"She probably never moved an eye
lash all night. But she saw a ihance
to be a martyr, the role dearest to
her soul, and she promptly took it.
There's the taxi now. No, finish
your coffee, you have a minute or
two to spare."
I put down my cup half-drained
"Remember I'm not the efficiency
expert you are, I laughed. "I'm go

and let the driver have the minute
to spare."
"He'll take it to monkey with the
engine and make it up on his way
to the station," Lillian tejoincd
lightly, as we hurried down to the
street.
"Don't forget to keep me posted
about that Bayview matter," Lilli.fti
cautioned from the taxi door. "I'm
worried about that mess, someway."
"I'll let you have all develop
ments," I promised, and the knowl
edge thai Lillian's clear brain an-l
loving heart were at my service
lightened considerably the Linden of
anxiety I was bearing about aftu.l
at the school.
My journey schoolward wasn't a
particularly pleasant one, for besides
my worry concerning the behavior
of Mrs. Stockbridge, I was frankly
anxious as to my father's reception
of the news that the woman who
had hounded him would hound him
no longer.
I didn't know in what manner Lil
lian meant to convey the news to
him. I only knew that I must af
fect complete ignorance of the
whole matter. My father's heart
would be broken if he ever knew of
my dramatic experience with the
woman whose existence he had tried
so hard to keep from me.
