I Then in a few words he related all 1 that he had done to obviate such a pos sibility, and she laughed heartily at his i description. Craig Wyndham bad prepared to en i counter beauty when be entered the presence of Carmen del I'ueute. and yet when the reality was beforj him he ; was conscious of a shock cf surprise. I Beauty in women ' had never affected ; him beyond the point of mere admira tion, but the earnest, steadfast eyes. pel feet features and high character j , that shone in the face of Carmen del J Pi-en to awoke some hitherto dormant j sense of appreciation within him. lie- 1 fore he had been ten minutes in her ; presence he felt as if they were old j friends, as If somehow or somewhere ', they had known each other always. i Theie were sincerity, truth, caruest ; ness, high purpose and indomitable res i olution In every expression of her fea- i tures, in every gesture sl.e made, aim ; Wyndham, who rarely trusted anybody until that person had been thoroughly tried, felt that he might with com placency put implicit trust in this wo man. "We have a long interview before us, Mr. Wyndham." she said presently. "I want you to be comfortable and thor oughly at your case, so 1 have takcu the liberty of providing some very ex cellent cigars for you to smoke. Yon need not hesitate. You know. In my country we are accustomed to tobacco smoke. You will be mare comfortaide if yen can waste your temper on the end of a cigar when I say things to annoy or astonish you. He took her at her word without comment. They sat opposite each oth- lndicated t he two points again "Nothing whatever not even a chair," he replied. Carmen rose from her chair and crossed the floor twice. Then she re- i turned and rs-sumed her seat. j "Mr. Wynd ham." she said slowly and impressively, "did you ever hear that a favorite pastime among Mex icans is knife throwing'.''' "Yes."

Y'ou know?" she demanded. "No. senorita, I do not know; I only suspect. I5ut I mean to know some time." "Ah. but I know now. I do not sus pect I know." "Well?" Carmen buried bet-face in her hands, but she d'd not weep. She was think ing. "1 can see it all." she said finally. "He pretended to leave the rooms, but he did not do so. He remained. He watched his opportunity. When it came, he stepped to the door, pushed it softly open, wide enough for his pur pose, and then he threw the knife and walked quietly out of the house, l es. r I can see it. I know it is so." "Of whom are you speaking, senori ta?" "I am speaking of Carlos Escudera, my own cousin." "Good Clod!" exclaimed Wyndham. "What? Did you not suspect him?" "Yes. but'' "But it shocks you to hear that he is related to me?" "Y'es. I think that is what startled me." "I thank you for that 1 bought. Mr. Wyndham. It means more than you lation had fallen upon him like a Hood of light. A great pity for her filled his heart. He knew how engagements are entered into in. Spanish countries and that the woman is never consulted re garding thechoice that is made for her, and he knew he thought he knew that this woman had loved Liurr. That of itself was sufficient in his heart to render her and her wishes dear to hiin. He asked Himself in that moment of waitinir. "If I. a man. loved Mirr I'endleton so dearly, how utterly must she, a woman, have loved him?" When her sobs ceased, he was stand ing beside tier, and he touched her gen tly upon her shoulder. lie forgot his own harsh words, forgot that he had uttered them, for he knew, in the other and greater sorrow, she had not heed ed them.

For a moment she stood gaz ing, wide eyed, at Wyndham, and then slowly she reseated herself. "Did you not know that he was mur dered?" asked Wyndham calmly. "No. I knew that he was dead, of course. Word came ti me of that in a letter from this city, but there was nothing said about violence." "The papers were full of the affair." "Ah, yes. But such news seldom reaches us in Mexico. Murdered! My ' Cod! It is awful! I should have warn ed him of his danger. I might have . done so, but I did not regard it as nee- ! essary- Tell me about it. Mr. Wynd- ham." ; "There is not much that I can tell. The affair Is a great mystery. I believe the detectives are still at work upon the case, but only in the effort to find a man whom I know to be Innocent." i "Tell me about it." she repeated, j "Tell me all you know about it." j She tittered the words in the tone of , one who has the right to know, and Wyndham. with sudden confidence , that was Inexplicable to himself, com plied. He related in detail everything that occurred frcm the moment when he first met I'endleton after his return from Mexico until the discovery f the body and the sending away of old James In order that he might be sus pected. Two things only he omitted he did not mention the fact that he suspected Escudera of the crime, aud he said nothing about his belief that an explanation of the motive could be found in the secret matter connected with Pendleton's visit to Mexico. Nor She leaped to her feet icith fl'mhinq eyes. Intended It should or more than you thought when you uttered it. My mother was a Romero. Escudeia's mother was her sister. His name is. in Spanish.

We have not arrived at that point yet. 1 will explain it all to you when we do, but first let us finish with this one. Does Escudera know that you suspect him?" "I don't know; I don't think so. Par don me If I Insist upon returning to the name of the duelist. Tell me. Is Escudera related to him?" "They are cousins also." "And is Captain Romero also a cousin of yours?" "I do not like to admit that. Mr. Wyndham. Please remember that I have not done so. You will think all my relatives are murderers." "Pardon me. I am : brute. I am" "Y'ou are the living friend of the man who was foully murdered. I am the cousin cf the brute who murdered him. But I am even more than that. Mr. Wyndham; more than that even to Carlos Escudera, for I am his. affianced wife." It was Wyndham's turn to leap to his feet, more agitated than he remembered ever to have been before. His heavy brows drew down in an ugly scowl over his eves, half shading them, and his square jaws set themselves together with indomitable resolve: But the ex pression lasted only an instant. Then his face cleared into a settled look of utter contempt. "So," he said, "you brought me here to trap me with your beauty. Y'ou brought me here to induce me to spare from the electric chair the murderer whom you would marry, whose wife you would become. You brought me bore at the bidding of Escudera, to ! worm out of me for his sake all I know. CHAPTER IX. j A Sr.RPEXT WITH ITS FASGS DRAWS. HEN Carmen had recovered and the two were seated again, both silently think ing, it occurred to traig to glance in the direetioti of the duenna. Apparently she had not moved or glanced, in their direction, for she was still p:a-idly engaged upon that Inde scribable work. It was Craig who broke the silence. "Miss Pendleton." he began, and she looked up in amazement. "That is your true name," he continued, "and I think 1 should so address you," he ad. led. "Not if you are to be the friend 1 need, as you will know after you have heard all that I have to tell you," the said demurely. "What then?" he asked. "Carmen." she replied simply. "So be it." lie said gravely. "1 will address voti bv veur given name, and in all things 1 will try to be to you what liurr would have been had In lived. Rut that is not what I intended to say. There is something concerning i the death of liurr that you should ' know. Perhaps you have hoard that he left his fortune to me. "No," she replied. "T had not heard of It." "He did. absolutely, as people sup pose, but that is not true. It was left to me that is, the bulk of it was left to me in trust for you." "In trust for me?" "Yes." '-But he did not know" "He suspected. There was a docu ment left to me with his will.

She assented without question, and neither cor.hl foresee what grave com plications this arrangement was des tined to bring about. A moment later Craig bade the sister of his friend good night and was driv en to the Waldorf, where for ten min utes he showed himelf c uspieuously in the corridors. Then he hail himself driven directly to his own apartments. It was midnight when he entered, and the party were jst leaving the card table to devour the ample spread that had been- prepared for them by 'Wyndham's orders. Of course they chaffed him about his i absence. Men always do that sort of thing, and Wyndham expected it. Es ; cudcrf alone had nothing to say re carding the matter. As soo" as there was an opportunity j Carletou Biggs drew Wyndham aside j and whispered: j "Awfully sorry, old mau. I played as recklessly as I could, but 1 won like a house nlire for all that. The Mesl- . can is the biggest loser, but 1 think it j is because he seemed to have no heart tri the game. Half the time he didn't seem to know what he held, and almost always he had to be told when to come in. Funny thing, that. 1 have been told that he is au expert with cards." j "It's all right. Carletou." replied Craig. "I am glad you wou. The win nings are jours, you know: the losses would have been mine. Not a word. You have done me greater service than you know. 1 th'uk I know why Escudera Md uot pay much attention j to the game, but it does not matter." The game was brought to a close ac ! cording to the arrangement, at 0 o'ciock !n the morning, and as the guests were departing Escudera. who had partially retrieved his losses of the earlier part of the game, loitered behind the others and was the last to bid his host poo!5V. Wyndham guessed that he had something to sav. bur he was hardly prepared for what came. i "I should not ihink you would enjoy , !i ing ia these rooms." tif said. ! "Why not?' asked Wyndham. 1 "Oh. nothing: only tin re i something ; smrgestive of the eiran-iy about a place where a man has been tnurdi r ! ed." i "Not when that man was your best ' and dearest friend, scnor. m Mie -. rt ' trary. these looms keep rie reminded . of something that I have to do." "What is that?" ; "Briug the murderer to justice." ! The Mexican shnisriie.l his shoulders. "I will confess." he said, "that 1 have felt rather giewsoine here. I have not lcen hre before since that night. You know I belong to a superstitious race. Good morning." "Now. what the devil was Ii" driving at?" muttered Wyndham after Escu dera was gone, "lie had something else to say. but be didn't dare say it. I wonder what it wis that made hhn nervous. Was it because he was in the rooms where he had killed a man or was It because he was worried over my absence? Whatever it was, bus lime for uncertainty is short. He at least will socn know the wte-st." Instead of taking a few hours of rest, as most men under the circum-iuues would have done. Craig Y.'.Mid'.iam plunged into a cold bath, after which old James gave kim a th irougii "rub down." Then, although it was still so early that he knew none cf his ac quaintances would be abroad, he went out on the street and took a sharp walk of three miles or more. "If a man avoids stimi. hints, takes brisk exercise and cold water baths, he can do without .sleep for seventy-two hours," he said to a park palicoi.ian to whom he talked while l.e tested from ' his brisk peregrination. He had walked all the way cut lo j Mount SSL Vincent to make arratr.rc meats for that luncheon, urd with all r.r one word said I Ida straightforwardness he woui.l have ! laughed to scorn any impiaaiion ii:ai ( i he had done it for any other icas in . than the exercise; but ail the while a j j he walked there were bright no. bril- ' I liant yes leading him ;i. the eyes of ' the sister of his dead friend, the eyes of the woman o whom he Intended to be brol her! j S? f deception is deception of the worst sort, for there can be no betray al. Craig Wyndham did not know that he was deceiving himself. All his life he had been so direct In everything he j did that the symptoms were unrecog j nizable. He only realized without know ing why that something was strange and rew. If ever a' man h: ted deception of any s rt. Craig Wyndham was one. The Interview with Carmen, the exer cise and the conscious force of his own strength had given him a new and strange confidence, and while be was returning from the park he made up his mind that there should be no more of that. With the knowledge he now possessed he believed that he could not only defy the machinati-r.s of Carlos Escudera. but that he need no longer pretend friendship for a man he hated; also he resolved that he would make no effort to conceal from him or his followers-if he possessed any what he should do that day. In other words., he felt entirely competent to care for and protect Carmen Pendleton. Th-re may be some who read who have had this same sensation and can under stand better than it tu I- d. ;: !: ; her;- the BLi'..-'.";iOiW by v.-'.i'.-h 'j- w:-.s i : . t. :; I I I It was In consequence of these sever al emotions if they may be defined by that word that at the app inted hour of noon Craig appeared at the dour of the hotel where the sist.r of his friend was stopping and. without any attempt at concealment, drove away with her and the duenna. Nor was it with sur prise that, as they drove up th: ave nue, he was saluted with raised hat and nourishing bow by Carl-s Escu dera. Carmen's seat in the carriage was such that she did not see the Mexican, and it was therefore supposable that the Mexican did not sec her. The du enna, being on the front seat. was. of course, unseen, and Wyndham smiled when he realized that after all it was only his own movements that Escude ra and his hirelings were watching, i As yet Escudera did not even saspeet : the presence of his cousin in the city, j A t Mount St. Vincent they s uglit a far corner of the restaurant. The du enna, Maria, was given an adjoining table. A tip to the waiter made it im possible for other guests to occupy the nearbv tables at an hour when there were so many that were vacant in other parts of the room, and thus , Wymlham felt confident that they would be undisturbed. They had been seated scarcely half an hour and had not yet got beyond mere generalities in their talk when there came a most unexpected inter ruption. Wvudliam. who sat with his back to ward the door, saw Carmen make a sudden start and then turn deathly pale, and he heard her exclaim, almost under her breath: "Dies mio! Carlos esta aqui!" i He understood her words as well as If she had spukeu in English, but i:e remained perfectly calm and unmoved. He did not even turn his head, but he I could hear the footsteps of a person , approaciimg ttiem. ana uis ears were j so well attuned to time that he rccog I nized the step of Carlos Escudera. 1 "IV calm.
