’Tes;T think so; I’m almost sure of It” “Then there's no mad rush about taring?" •No—l—l think not” He observed her hesitation but ignored it. He drew two big chairs close to the open tire, and, leading Doris to one, seated her In It, and took the other himself, turning It to face hers. As he did so, she recoiled. •You look so dreadful 1” she explained with a shudder. “I suppose I do. But forget that and tell me something. When did Shaw leave?" “Within half an hour of the time he brought me here." "When Is he coming back?" ’“Tonight, I think.” “And he's left you here alone, with an one around-tvat this woman?” Laurie asked. Incredulously. Here was another situation hard to understand. ■'Hie st-rotary is somewhere around, “Ohl" This was news. “Where Is he?’ “Out In the garage. He has a room there. I heard him say he had no sleep last night, and that he expected to get some today.” Laurie rose. ‘TH take a look around and see where he is,” he suggested. “We can't hare him catching on to my little visit and telephoning to Shaw, you know." As he spoke he was walking toward the door that led into the hall, and now he confidently put out his hand and turned the knob. His expression hanged. He gave the knob a violent twist, then, setting his shoulder against the jamb, tried to wrench the door open. It did not yield. Doris watching him wide-eyed, was the first to speak. “Locked?’ she whispered. “Locked,” corroborated Laurie. He nodded thoughtfully. Several tiling, small In themselves, which had puztled him, were clearing up. Among others, the housekeeper’s persistent efforts to gain time were now explained. Shaw had not been so careiess as he had seemed. The meek blond secretary with the pursuing ores and the chloroforming habit was certainly in the house. CHAPTER XIII Laurie Checks a Revelation Laurie shook his head. “That was rather stupid of him,” he r,l marked, mildly. “It’s almost as easy to force open a locked door from the Inside as from the outside.” “I know.” Doris was again breathes. “But In the meantime he's telephoning to Shaw.” “I don't think so.” Laurie, his hands in his pockets, was making a characteristic turn around the room, "hat has he to gain by telephoning? ■haw’s coming hack anyway in a few hours; and in the meantime the secfotary has got me safely pocketed, or thinks he has. I have an idea lie'll stand pat. You see. he doesn’t know shout my talent for opening locked doors.” He strolled back to the door as he spoke and examined the lock. Then,

appreciatively, fie drew from 'his pocket the screw-driver he had thoughtfully brought from the garage. •‘I fancied* this might be useful. It will take me just about four minutes to open thut door,” he announced. "So get on your thing* and be ready to •tart in a hurry.” "Do you Imagine that we can get away now, In broad daylight?” She seemed dazed by the suggestion. “Why not? You want to get out of here, don't you?” "Yea—I —of course I do!” “Y’ou don’t seem very sure of it” Laurie was smiling down at her with his hands still in his pockets, but there was an expression keen, cold, almost but not quite suspicious. “Yes, but —you don’t understand. Shaw has other men on watch, two of them.” “Where:" “In the grounds. One In the front and the other In the back." The newcomer mentally digested this unwelcome Information. “If we wait till It’s dark,” said the gtrl, “we’ll have a better chance.” “Unless Shaw gets back In the meantime.” He was still watching her with that new look In his eyes. Then, briskly, he returned to his interest in the doorlock. “In any he casually remarked, "we don’t want to be jailed here.” She said no more, but sat watching him as he worked, deftly and silently. In little more than the time he had predicted he opened the door and held It wide. “Any time you would like to pass out,” he Invited, then checked himself and vanished In the dimness of 0 . i wra to jr* -W '“Tn* “th ' * twl Laurie Entered the Room, Pushing the Secretary Before Him. the hall. The girl left behind heard the soundsSof running feet, of a sharp scuffle, of a few words spoken in a high, excited voice. Then Laurie reentered the room, pushing the secretary before him. At present the youth looked anything but meek. His blond hair was on end, his tie was under one ear, Ids pale eyes were bright with anger, and he moved spasmodically, propelled by jerks from behind. "I don’t like this young man,” said Laurie, conversationally. “I never have. So I’m going to put him where for a few hours he can’t annoy us. Is there a good roomy closet on this floor? If there Is, kindly lead us to ft." “Say, hold on I” cried the blond youth, in outraged tones. “I’m sick of this.” “Shut up.” Laurie shook him gently. "And cheer up. You're going to have a change. Load on, please.” Thus urged, and further impelled, the secretary obediently led the way to a eloset at the far end of the upper hall. It was fairly commodious, and full of garments hanging on and smelling oppressively of camphor. It afforded an electric-light fixture, and Laurie, switching on the light, emphasized this advantage to the reluctant new occupant, who unwisely put up a brief and losing fight on Its threshold. "You may read if you like,” Laurie affably suggested, when this had been suppressed. “I’ll bring you some magazines. You may even smoke. Mr. Shaw and I always treat our prisoners with the utmost courtesy. You don't smoke? Excellent! Safer for the closet, and a fine stand for a worthy young man to take. Now, I'll get the magazines for you.” He did so, and the blond secretary accepted them with a black scowl. “I’m afraid," observed Laurie regretfully, "he has an ungrateful nature.” He locked the door on the Infuriated youth- pocketed the.key, .find faced

He raised his eyebrows. "And spoil my admirable d sgui«e? However, If you Insist. I suppose I can get most of the • effect again with ashes, if I have to. Where'* a bathroom?" She Indicated a door, and returned to her room. He made his ablution* slowly and very thoughtfully. There were elements In this new twist of the situation which did not tally with any of his former hypotheses. Doris, too, was doing some thinking on her own account. When he returned to the sitting-room ahe wore the air of one who has pondered deeply and has come to a conclusion.

“What do your friends call you?” she abruptly asked. "All kinds of things,” admitted the young man. “I wouldn't dare to repeat some of them.” Under the thoughtful regard of her red brown eyes his manner changed. "My sister calls me Laurie," be added soberly. “May I?” “Ry all means, If you’ll promise not to be a sister to me." "Then —Laurie—” “I like that," he Interrupted. “So do L Laurie —I- I’m going to tell you something.” "Yes?" he said. "Please smoke.” Again she was playing for time. "And—and don’t look at me,” she added, almost harshly. “I—-I think I can get it out better if you don’t His answer was to swing his chair around beside hers, facing the blazing logs, and to take out his case and light a cigarette. “I’m going to tell you everything,” she said In a low tone. "I’m glad of that.” “I know,” she muttered, almost Inaudibly. “It's all —horrible. It's Infinitely worse than you suspect. And that's why I'm going to tell you the truth, big as the cost may be to me." "Waft a minute," he Interrupted. "Let's get this straight. You're telling me, aren't you, that any revelation you make now will react on you. Is that it?” / “Yes.” “You will be the chief sufferer by It?" “Yes.” “Will it help you any to hare me understand? Will it straighten out the trouble you’re in?” She considered her answer. "The only help it will give me will be to know that you do understand," she said at last; “to know that —that —you're not suspecting things about me.” “And it will make things hard for you, otherwise, to have me know?” he persisted.

The tooth was in a good state of preservation. No opinion was ventured on how long the skeleton had been in the ground.

Because of this disputed territory millions of angry words have been uttered, and on this rock the blood of Chilean and Peruvian saldiers has been spilled. The name of the rock is El Morro.
