E receives a~ call from Sir Charles i£ Abingdon Sir Charles Tells Harley ■ he is being constantly followed by E persons unknown to him.

A robbery taken place at the home g of Sir Charles and nothing is <lis H turbed except a bureau drawer, from E which is stolen a manuscript writ. 2 ten by Abinpdcn. Costly silver ami {§ jewelry remain undisturbed much to the amazement of Sir Charles. Harley is asked to dine at the = home of the Abinpdons and. when 1= he arrives, the butler tniorms him == that the master is calling on a sick S friend. i NOV, GO ON WITH THE STORY "Yes. sir. He is attending Mr. H Chester Wilson on the other side of H the square, and Mr. Wilson’s naan |t rang up a few moments ago request -11 lng Sir Charles to step across.” “I see.” murmured Harley, as the {= butler showed him into a small but H well-filled library on the left of the H lobby. Refreshments were set Invitingly H upon a table beside a deep lounge H chair. But Harley declined the p man’s request to refresh himself H while waiting and began aimlessly to H wander about the room, apparently H studying the titles of the works = crowding the bookshelves. e§ . Now, upon his musing there sua s denly intruded sounds of a muffled |§ altercation. That is to say, the f| speakers, who were evidently in the H lobby beyond the* library door, spoke = in low tones, perhaps in deference to §| the presence of a visitor. Harley H was only mildly interested, but the H voices had broken his train Os p thought, and when presently the H door opened to admit a very neat p but rather grim-looking old lady he H ' started, then looked across at her H with a ynile. Some of the grimness faded from p the wrinkled old face, and the §§ housekeeper, for this her appear- H ance proclaimed her to be, bowed in H a queer Victorian fashion which H suggested that a' curtsy might fol- H low. One did not follow, however, p ‘‘l am sure I apologize, sir,” she S said. “Benson did not tell me you p had arrived.” “That’s quite all right,'” said Har §j ley. genially. “Servants in these times,”' she in p formed him, “are not what servants M were in my young day 3.” “Unfortunately, that is so,” Har- H ley agreed. The old lady tossed her head. “I §1 do my best,” she continued, “hut = that girl would not have stayed in p the house for one week if I had had fjj my way. Miss Phil is altogether too p soft-hearted. Thank goodness, she p goes tomorrow, though. “I mean Jones, the new parlor p maid. Four hours off has that girl H had today, although she was out on p Wednesday. Then she has the impu- P dence to allow someone to ring her §§ up here at the house: and finally s I discover her upsetting the table H after Benson had laid it and after I p had rearranged it.” Wandering from side to side of the s library, Harley presently found him p self standing still before the mantel -11 piece and studying a photograph in H a silver frame tvhich occupied the || center of the shelf. It was the § photograph of an unusually pretty p girl. “Presumably ‘Miss Phil’,” he said p aloud. He removed his gaze with reluc p tance from the fascinating picture, p and dropping into the big lounge f§ chair, he lighted a cigaret. He had H just placed the match in an ash tray p when he heard Sir Charles’ voice in §§ the lobby, and a moment later* Sir = Charles himself came hurrying into e the library. “I was called ten minutes ago by H someone purporting to be the aer luimilllllSIUilHUlHtllilUllliillillllllUillllHUUlfHHWilllllliilllllilUlilillllilltilHIi: LOCAL MENTION jj The condition of Mrs. T.

I “My dear sir,” cried Sir Charles i and the expression in his eyes grew almost wild, “no one in Wilson’s , bouse, knew anything about the matter!” Sir Charles was staring at Harley i in that curiously pathetic way which i he had observed at their earlier in terview in Chancery Lane. “In any , event,” said his host, “let us dine; i for already 1 have kept you wait ing.” Benson attended at table, assisted by a dark-faced and very surly-look ing maid, in whom Harley thought t he recognized the housekeeper’s bete noire. 1 When presently both servants had • temporarily retired. “You see, Mr. Harley,” began Sir Charles, glanc , ing about his own room in a manner almost furtive, “I realized today at ; your office that the history of this dread which has come upon me per , haps went back so far that it was , almost impossible to acquaint you ' with it under the circumstances.” “I quite understand.” ‘ “I think perhaps I should inform ‘ V' % “THE DANGER IS NOT RE • MOVED BUT MERELY IN CREASED.” i you in the first place that I have a daughter.

While helping to carry a casket down n flight of steps yesterday Mr. Simpson wrenched his back and the injury proved so pain ful that he has been confined to liis bed since. A number of persons had to report to police headsuarters yesterday and today for violating the law regarding the park ing of autos On the streets here* dur ing the night. It is unlawful to leave cars on the Streets in the tire district after 1 a. in., but it seems that the gen eral public is not yet well acquainted with this law.

CHAPTER m Shadows 4 4TTA-D you reason to suspect any £1 cardiac trouble, Doctor Me- Murdoch?” asked Harley. Doctor McMurdoch, a local practi tioner who had been a friend of Sir Charles Abingdon, shook bis bead slowly. “Was he consulting you profes sionally, Mr. Harley?*’ asked the physician. “He was,” replied Harley, staring fascinatedly at the photograph on the mantelpiece. ‘‘l am informed,” said he, abruptly, “that Miss Abing don is out of town?” Doctor McMurdoch nodded In his slow, gloomy fashion. “She is stay ing in Devonshire with poor Abing don’s sister,” he answered. “I am wondering how we are going to break the news to her.” Perceiving that Doctor McMur doch had clearly been intimate with the late Sir Charles, Harley deter mined to make use of this oppor tunity to endeavor to fathom the mystery of the late surgeon’s fears. “You will not misunderstand me, •Doctor he said, “if I venture to ask you one or two rather personal questions respecting Miss Abingdon?” Doctor McMurdoch lowered his shaggy brows and looked gloomily at the speaker. “Mr. Harley," he replied, “1 know you by repute for a man of integrity. But before I an swer your questions will you answer one of mine?” . “Certainly.** “Then my question Is this: Does not your interest cease with the death of your client?" “Doctor McMurdoch,” said Harley, sternly, “you no doubt believe your self *o be acting as a friend of this bereaved family. You regard me, perhaps, as a Paul Pry prompted by idle curiosity. On the contrary, I find myself in a delicate and em barrassing situation. From Sir Charles’ conversation I had gathered that he entertained certain fears on behalf or his daughter.” “Indeed,” said Doctor McMur doch. „ • “If these fears were well ground ed, the danger is not removed, but merely increased by the death of Miss Abingdon’s natural protector. I regret, sir, that I approached you for information, since you have mis judged my motive.” “Oh," sold Dobtor McMurdoch, gloomily, “I’m afraid I’ve offended you. But I well, Mr. Har ley.” A faint trace of human emo tion showed itself In his deep voice. “Charley Abingdon and I were stu dents together in Edinburgh," he explained, “I was mayhap a little strange-** His apology was so evidently sin cere that Harley relented at once. ‘“Please say no more, Doctor Mc- Murdoch,” he responded. “I fully appreciate your feelings in the mat ter. At such a time a stranger can only be an intruder; but”—he fixed his keen eyes upon the physician— "there is more underlying all this than you suspect or could readily believe. You will live to know that I have spoken the truth."
