"I’m sorry I woke ■ you, name

spluttered again. “For a gentle

grandmother was the reigning Car

A shadow fell on her mind. “And.

” Forgive me, baby mine. I didn't

drawing room. “More trouble?”
A strange man confronted her

“Mr. Walden—the attorney?" she
guessed aloud. She studied the
lean, bald, solemn gentleman and
reached out her hand.
“For the estate,” said the hu
man owl, as he solemnly accepted
the little hand.
“I told Mrs. Adams to tell you.”
said Barbara listlessly, "that I’ll
get out quick. I won’t make trou
ble.”
The attorney’s hands expressed
• i state of apoplectic dismay.
! “But you must not leave too sud
lenly,” he protested. “Very unbe
coming—for the mother of the heir
to the estate."
Barbara gasped. “You said—’’

“Exactly. During that five years
