FIFTH EPISODE THE INTERVF'N OF TITO David Manley was cot altogether proud of bis day's work. As be sat tied and bound on the rough brick floor beneath the Owl's Nest that once flippant-minded young man even acknowledged that things looked rather bad for him. He had been made a prisoner. Tho iron claw of Legar had reached suddenly out and closed about blm. But David Manley did not altogether give up. As ho lay there, sore in body, but even more battered in mind, he Btill spasmodically struggled with the cords that held him hand and foot. The solitude of that unsavory den . did not add to his comfort. The mero ; fact that Legar could see tit to leave a j prisoner thus unguarded impressed I the prisoner with the fact that his onearmed enemy was only too well assured of his power. And the moro Manley thought of Legar and his methods tho more that sinister figure seems to bewilder him. He knew that Legar was tho unrelenting and eternal enemy of Enoch Golden, Just as he had been the enemy of Golden's daughter Margory. The thought of Margory directed Manley's mind iack to the earlier events of that strange day. He recalled his long talk with that quiet-eyed girl In the quiet-toned shadows of the Golden library. It had been the first talk between them into which the personal note had entered. He had enJoyed that talk, for he had felt, as it progressed, that the girl had begun to realize he waB her friend, that he wanted to bv. her friend.

ut tne quietness oT the Golden home had proved to be nothing; mors tnah. a ltfu which precedes tne sudden storm. For, five minutes after he bad left the smiling girl, the Golden butler, with terror in his eyes, had come running to him saying there was a stranger in the house, a stranger who had been seen lurking about the halls and had promptly disappeared at the sight of one of the servants. So Manley, forgetting everything else, had promptly joined in the search for that mysterious intruder. And his first thought, after doing so, had been for Margory Golden. Hurrying to the library to make sure of her safety, he had found her seated at her father's desk, quietly talking over the telephone. And there had been little in that scene not suggestive of tranquillity. For blinking placidly down from its perch beside her had stood Tito, Margory Golden's newly acquired parrot, for which Manley himself had small love. This feeling was based, not so much on the malevolent air of wisdom surrounding that greenbodied filcher of human phrases, as on the somewhat disturbing trick, taught it by some earlier master, of seeking put gas Jets and turning them on the moment it was freed from its chain. Yet a3 it had stood close beside the girl so busily talking over the telephone it had seemed as companionably innocent as a canary. And it had turned to blink sagely at Manley as the girl, apparently unconscious of his presence, had crossed to the mahoganyfaced vault set in tho library wall and proceeded to open its ponderous door. This had startled Manley not a little, for the combination of that vault was a secret jealously guarded by Golden, a secret unknown to Manley himself. It was not until she stood with the massive door swung open that Manley had confronted her. But she showed no embarrassment at his sudden interruption. "My father has just phoned from Philadelphia," she explained. "There are certain papers he must have for his conference with the Regent Trust company tomorrow." "But when did you find out how to open that door?" had been Manley's inquiry. "Two minutes ago, over the telephone," had been the. girl's reply. "Then the sooner that door is shut and locked again the better," he had warned her. "Why?" she had asked, for the first time conscious of his excitement. . (To be Continued.)

Copyright, 1916, by the McClure The fairy touched the door with her wand, and it flew open. Cantilla looked about her in wonder, for the hall, which had been hung with tatters of faded tapestry, now looked like the hall of a king. The. fairy touched the, door of the room where the old king was sleeping, and again Cantilla looked in wonder, for her father slept beneath a canopy of red and gold, upon a bed of gold, and all the furnishings of his room were such as a King would have. Cantilla looked at her father. He was smiling in his sleep, and the careworn look had gone from his face. The fairy beckoned to her and Cantilla with one backward glance at her sleeping father followed. Next the old dining hall was opened for Cantilla to see. The once faded and torn draperies were whole, and bats and owls were gone from the corners of the room where they had often made their nests. The beautiful table of onyx and silver was covered with dishes of silver, and dainty lace napkins lay beside each place as though ready for the coming guests. But the fairy led her away, and next Cantilla saw the beautiful halls where the old king held his grand balls and kings and queens and princes and princesses had danced. And so through the whole castle the fairy led the wondering little Princess to look at her old ruined home, now beautiful and whole. Then the fairy took Cantilla to the gardens. The once dry fountains were playing in the moonlight, the nightingale could be heard among the roses and the air was filled with rich perfume. When they reached the lower end of the garden, Cantilla suddenly stopped and stood very still. She was beside a fountain, and honeysuckle grew over an arbor close beside it. Cantilla remembered the words of the dwarf she had seen in her dream, and his words "I will come for your reply tonight at the fountain, where the honeysuckle grows." The fairy stood on a bush beside her. "You remember now, do you not?" she asked. "You see it was not a dream this morning, and you are not dreaming now, my Princess, but I cannot help you. I have finished my work and well!" Cantilla watched the fairy disappear without uttering a single word. She saw in her mind's eye only the ugly features of the dwarf and heard his words. In another minute she saw what looked like a cloud near' the honeysuckle arbor, and in another minute the dwarf of the morning stood before her with the ends of his long white beard thrown over one arm. "I have come, Princess Cantilla, for my answer," said the dwarf. "Marry me and all you have seen shall be yours." Cantilla threw out her hands as she

"Before you give your answer," he said, "think of your old father and how contented and happy he looked surrounded by the comforts of his former days of prosperity." Cantilla let her hands fall by her side, her head bent low, and she stood lost irx thought. . She saw again her old father in. his bed of gold and the face that looked so happy, then she raised her head without looking at the ugly creature before her and said: "I consent; I will become your wife; I cannot love you, but will wed you if that will content you." "Follow me then," said the dwarf, throwing ' his long beard over his head and letting it fall over Cantilla

as he spoke. Cantilla saw only a fleecy cloud closing all about her, and then next thing she knew she was on a little island in the middle of a deep blue ocean with the dwarf standing beside her. The dwarf, with his beard still over one arm, held his hands to his mouth and gave a long, loud call, which seemed to descend to the depths of the ocean. Up from the water came an arm and hand holding a twisted shell, and then Cantilla saw a head appear and blow a long, loud blast from the twisted shell he caried. A splashing was heard, and out of the water came an old man in a chariot of mother of pearl. The chariot was drawn by two horses, with feet and manes of gold, and in one hand the old man carried a long wand with three prongs at one end. The old man struck the water with the queer looking wand, and from all over the surface of the water came the sea nymphs and all sorts of monsters and creatures that live at the bottom of the ocean. But when the mermaids appeared the old man sent them back quickly and drove his chariot toward Cantilla and the dwarf. Tomorrow I will finish the story of the Princess Cantilla.

When Joe Potato got a li 8 cense to marry Mary Antiochi recently, Probate Judge Belknap asked him, 'What is your employment, Joe?" The blushing groom said: "I am going to raise potatoes." He got his license for nothing.

"And you're going to be careful, too, darling, aren't you?" asked Julia anxiously. Caryl pulled herself away with a little laugh. "Well, from the present looks of things, I won't have much chance to be anything but careful," she remarked. "Mr. Somerdyke the man that met me, you remember once at Delaine's studio and took me to lunch and for an auto ride has gone or is going to South America; so the only man I can go anywhere with has a sister who goes along with us." "Will you tell me about these people Caryl?" Julia asked timidly. "Of course I will," Caryl agreed, "but not until after we have come back from dinner. I want to have a good long talk with you then." The "good long talk" left Julia Marvin more at peace and almost happy. To be sure, Caryl had prefaced her confidences with the request that Julia say nothing to anybody "even to Mr. Delaine," she had added with some acerbity about the fact that Somerdyke was in love with Dora Redfield. "She has taken a fancy to me," Caryl said, "and but for that she might not have told me as much as she did of Somerdyke's attentions to her. Naturally, she did not say that they were engaged, or ever would be, but after she had' told me of what a nice fellow Harry was and lots of other things in Avhich I did not really agree with her, although she did not Buspect that she ended by saying: T know you will not repeat to anybody what I have told you, ' And I wouldn't, Judy, to anyone but you, but I know you are safe." "Thank you, dear," Julia responded. "You know I won't betray any of your confidences." Thus assured, Caryl continued her improvisations, telling her sister that on the day on wiiich she had lunched with Somerdyke he had asked "the two Redfields" to join them. A sudden liking and friendship had sprung up between the brother and siBter and Caryl. "I think," Caryl said after a while, glancing shyly at her sister, "that John Redfield likes me very much already. I have not told you, Judy, every time I have met him and Dora, for I enjoyed meeting them so much, and I was afraid you might disapprove and and I like him, and perhaps some time when I see him alone, einjj Well Prepared means much towards the preservation of your health.

he may tell me that he cares for me." Julia laid a tender hand on her sister's shoulder. "If that time comes, dear," she said, "you will tell me won't you?" Caryl nodded. "All right," she promised, "and until then don't ask me any questions will you?" A sudden sense of uneasiness assailed Julia. "But you don't ktfow anything about this man's character or position, do you, dear?" she objected. "I wish you did." Caryl tossed her head in swift anger. "Oh, Judy!" she exclaimed. "Nobody can please you! Is it not enough that I assure you that these are nice people? Here," as if struck by an urg ent thought, "there's something that! I insist on your doing! I have made you promise not to tell the facts to Delaine but write him a line, requesting him to answer you at once, and ask him If he knows of a man by the name of John Redfield, and whether: he considers him respectable!"
