a moment looking out on the lake we
j saw, far awa\ toward the northern
1 shore, the Stih'tto, that seemed just
i to have slipped out from the lower
lake. The humor of the situation
pleased me; Helen was off there In
the sloop playing at being kidnaped to
harass her aunt into coining to terms
with Henry Holbrook, and she was
doubtless rejoicing in the fact that she
had effected a combination of events
that would make her father's cuse ir-
resistible.
But there was no lline to lose. I
made Gillespie comfortable Indoors
and sent Ijlina <o get the bag 1 hail

launch was skimming over the water
toward the canoi maker's house at

"Hut how* do I know you can sup-

demanded, dubiously.
The imported nobleman smiled
blandly.
"I will go ze test," he volunteered.
"What test?"

Reason for Envy.
The stingy man had come home and
had objected when his wife attempted
to kiss him.
"I've Just had a tooth pulled," he
explained.
"Well, I envy the dentist," his wife
replied.
"You envy the dentist? What do you

"Oh, nothing much," the wife sighed

ABANDONED IT
For the Old Fashioned Coffee Wa«
Killing.
"I always drank coffee with the rest
of the family, for it seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast if we did
not have it on tho table.
"I had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right This trouble grew worse steadily.
"Sometimes It would beat fast and
at other times very slowly, so that I
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and If
1 walked up a hill. It gave me a se-
vere pain
"I had no idea of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested that per-
haps it might be caused by cofTee
drinking I tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking I'ostum. The
change came quickly. I am now glad
to say that I am entirely well of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use of
I'ostum
"A number of my friends have aban-
doned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with I'ostum, which
they ar«* using steadily There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and tasteless, but If It Is boiled
long enough, according to directions.
It is a very delicious beverage. We
have never used any of the old fash-
ioned coffee since Postum was first
started in our house "

CHAPTER XXII—Continued.
"I have been shot at in three lan-
guages, and half drowned in others,
and rewards have been offered for nie.
Do you think I'm going down before a
mere matter of beaux yeux! Think
better of me than that!"
"But she Is treacherous; she will de-
liver you to the 1'hilistlnes without,
losing a heart-beat."
"She could, Miss Patricia, but she
won't!"
"She has every Intention of marry-
ing Gillespie; he's the richest man she
knows!"
"I swear to you that she shall not
marry Gillespie!"
"She would do it to annoy me if for
nothing else."
1 took both her hands—they were
like rose-leaves, those dear slightly
tremulous hands!
"Now, Miss Pat—I'm going to call
you Miss Pat because we're such old
friends, and we're Just contemporaries,
anyhow—now. Miss Pat, Helen is not
half so wicked' as she thinks she is,
Gillespie and I are on the best of
terms. He's a thoroughly good fellow
and not half the fool he looks. And
he will never marry Helen'"
"I should like to know what's going
to prevent her from marrying him!"
she demanded as 1 stepped back and
turned to go.
"Oh. 1 am, If you must know! I
have every intention of marrying her
myself!"
I run away from the protest that
was faltering upon her lips, anil strode
through tho garden. I had just
reached Glenaim gate on my way back
to the boathouse when a woman's
voice called softly and Sister Marga-
ret hurried round a turn of the garden
path.
"Mr. Donovan'"
There was anxiety In the voice, and
more anxious still was Sister Marga-
ret's face as she came toward me In
her brown habit, her hands clasped
tensely before her. Sin- had evidently
been watching for me, and drew back
from the gate Into a quiet recess of
the garden. Her usual repose was
and her face, under its white
showed plainly her distress.
I have bad news—Miss Helen has
I'm afraid something has hap-
pened to her."
"She can't have gone far, Sister
Margaret. When did you miss her?"
I asked, quietly; but I confess that I
was badly shaken. My confident talk
about the girl with MIhs Pat but a
moment before echoed ironically in
my memory.
"She did not come down for break-
fast with her aunt or me. but 1 thought
nothing cf It. us I have urged both !
them to breakfast upstali . Miss Pa-
tricia went out for a walk. An hour

low she left I don't know. She

"('nn j oil tell a lie, Sinter Mar-
garet ?"
She n-riired at me with so shocked an
air that I laughed. "A lie in a good
rant"* I mean? Mlsi. Pat must not
know that he; niece has gone if she
itu* gone! She bin' probably taken
one of the canoes for a morning pad-
dle; or, we will assume that she has
borrowed one of the Glenarm horses,
as she has every right to do, for a
morning gallop, and that she has lost
her way or gone farther than she in-
tended. There are a thousand expla-
nations!"
"But they hardly touch the fact that
she was gone all night; or that a
strange man brought a note addressed
in Helen's handwriting to her aunt
only an hour ago."
"Kidnaped!"—and I laughed aloud
as the meaning of her disappearance
flashed upon me!
"I don't like your way of treating
this matter!" said Sister Margaret Ici-
ly. "The girl may die before she can
be brought hack."
"No. she won't—my word for It, Sis-
ter Margaret. Please give me the
letter!"
"But It Is not for you!"
"Oh, yes, it is! You wouldn't have
Miss Pat subjected to the shock of a
demand for ransom. Worse than that,
Miss Pat has little enough fa'th In
Helen as It is; and such a move as
this would be final. This kidnaping Is
partly designed as a punishment for
me, and I propose to take care of It
without letting Miss Pat know. She
shall never know!"
Sister Margaret, only half convinced,
drew an envelope from her girdle and
gave It to me doubtfully. I glanced
at the superscription and then tore It
across, repeating the process until it
was a mass of tiny particles, which I
poured Into Sister Margaret's hands.
"Burn them! Now Miss Pat will un-
doubtedly ask for her niece at onre.
1 suggest that you take care that she
is not distressed by Helen's absence.
If It Is necessary to reward your
house maid for her discretion—" I said
with hesitation.
*
"Oh, I disarranged Helen's bed so
that the maid wouldn't know!"—and
Sister Margaret blushed.
"Splendid! I can teach you nothing.
Sister Margaret! I'lea.a* help me this
much further: get on. of Miss Helen's
dresses- that blue one she plays ten-
nis In, perhaps—and put it In a bag
of some kind and give It to my .lap
when he calls for it in ten minutes.
Now listen to me carefully. Sister Mar-
garet; I shall meet you here at 11'
o'clock with a girl who shall he, to all
Intents and purposes, Helen Holbrook
In fact, she will be some one else. Now
I expect you tn cany off the situation
through luncheon and until nightfall,
when I expect to bring Helen the
real Helen—back here. Meanwhile,
toll Miss Pat anything you like, quot
ing me! Good by!"
1 left her abruptly and was running
toward Glenarm House to rouse Ijima
when 1 bumped into Gillespie, wh . had
been told at the house that 1 was
somewhere In the grounds.
"What's doing, Irishman?" he de-
manded.
"Nothing, Buttons; I'm just exercis
Ing."
Ills white flannels were as fresh as
the morning, and he wore a little blue
cap perched saucily on the side of his
head.
I linked my arm In his and led the
way toward Glenarm House. There
was much to be done before I could
bring together the warring members
of the house of Holbrook. and Gillespie
could, I felt, be relied on In enier
gencies. He broke forth at once.
"I want to see her—I've* got to see
her!"
"Who—Helen? Then you'll have to
wait a while, for she's gone for a pad-
dle or a gallop, I'm not sure which,
and won't he back for a couple of
hours. But you have grown too dar-
ing. Miss Pat Is still here, and you
can't expect me to arrange meetings
for you every day in the year."
"I've got to see her," he repeated,
and his tone was utterly Joyless. "I
don't, understand her, Donovan."
"Man is not expected to understand
woman, my dear Buttons. At 'lie ca-
sino last night everything was as gay
as an octogenarian's birthday cake."
He stopped In the shadow of the
house and seized my arm.
"You told her something about me
last night. She was all right until you
took her away and talked with her at
the casino. On the way home she was
moody and queer—a different girl al
together. You are not on the square;
you are playing on too many sides of
this game."
"You're in love, that's nil. These
suspicions and apprehensions are lead-
ing symptoms. I'p there at the casino,
with the water washing beneath and
the stars overhead and the band play-
ing waltzes, a spell was upon you both
Even a hardened old sinner like me
could feel it. I've had palpitations all
day! Cheer up! In your own happy
phrase, everything points to plus."
"I tell you she turned on me, and
that you are responsible for It!"—and
he glared at me. angrily.
"Now, Buttons! You're not. going
to take that attitude toward me, after
all I have done for you! 1 really took
some trouble to arrange that little
meeting last night; and here you come
with sad eve anil mournful voice and
rebuke me!"
"I tell you she was different. She
had never been so kind to me as sin-
was there at the casino; but as we
came back she changed, and was
ready to lling me aside. I asked her
to leave this place and marrv me to-
day. and she only laughed at me!"
"Now, Buttons, you are letting your
Imagination get the better of your
common sense. If you're going to lake
your lady's moods so hard you'd better
give up trying to understand the ways
of woman. It's wholly possible that
Helen was tired and didn't want to be
made love to. ll seems to me that
you are singularly lacking In consider-
ation. But I can't talk to you all
morning; I have other things to do;
but If you will find a cool corner of
the house and look at picture books
until I'm free I'll promise ti be best
man for you when you're married; and
I predict Mint marriage before Christ-
mas a happy union of the ancient
houses of Holbrook and Gillespie, iiuu
along like a good boy and don't let
Miss Pat catch sight of you."
"Do you keep a goat, a donkey or a
mule an> ol the more ruminative ani-
mals'.'" he asked, with his saddest In*
tnnatlon
"The cook keeps a parrot, and
there's a donkey in one of the pas-
i tires."

tion unimpaired?"
"First tale. I occasionally hear his
vesper hymn, lie's In good voice."

shadows of the terrace. As we stood
CHAPTER XXIII.
The Rocket Signal.
Rosalind was cutting sweet pens In
the garden wlp're they climbed high
upon a filmy net, humming softly to
herself.
"A penny for your thoughts!" I
challenged.
She snipped an imaginary flower
from the air in my direction.
"Keep your money! I was not think-
ing of you! You wear, sir, an Intent
commercial air; have you thread and
needles in your pack?"
"It Is ordained that we continue the
game of last night. To-day you are to
invade the very citadel and deceive
your aunt. Your cousin has left with-
out notice and the situation demands
prompt action."
1 was already carrying the suit-case
toward the house, explaining as we
walked along together.
"But was I so successful last night?
Was ne really deceived, or did he just
play that he was?"
"He's madly in love with you. You
stole away all his senses. lint he
thought you changed toward him un-
accountably on the way home."
"I^tit why didn't she tell him?—she
must have told him."
"Oh, 1 took care of that! I rather
warned her against betraying us. And
now she's trying to punish me by be-
ing kidnaped!"
Rosalind paused at the threshold,
gathering the stems of the sw. i t peas
in her hands.
"Do you think," she began, "do you
think he really liked mo—I mean tho
real me?"
"Like you! That Is not the right
word for it. He's gloomily dreaming
of >ou—the real you—at this very mo-
ment over nt Glenarm. But do hasten
Into these things that Sister Margaret
picked out for you. 1 must see your
father before I carry you off. We'vo
no time to waste, 1 can tell you!"
The canoe maker heard my story In
silence and shook his head.
"It is impossible; we should only
get into deeper trouble. I have no
great faith in this resemblance. It
may have worked once on young Gil
lesplo, but women have sharper eyes."
"But It. must be tried!" I pleaded.
"We are approaching the end of theso
troubles, and nothing must be allowed
to Interfere. Your sister wishes to see
you; this Is her birthday."
"So It is! So It is!" exclaimed the
canoe-maker with feeling.
"Helen must he saved from her own
folly. Her aunt must not know of
this latest exploit; It would ruin every-
thing."
A: we debated Rosalind Joined her
peisuasions to mine.
"Aunt Pat must not know what
Helen has done If we can help it," she
said.
While she changed her clothes I
talked on .it the house boat witli her
father.
"My sister has asked for me?"
"Yes; your sister Is ready to settle
with Henry; but she wishes to see you
first. She has begged me to find you;
but Helen must go hack to her aunt.
This fraudulent kidnaping must never
be known to Mis: Pat. And on tho
other hand. I hope it may not bo nec-
essary for Helen to know the truth
about her father,"
"I dare say she would sacrillce my
own daughter quickly enough," lie
said.
"No; you are wrong; I do not be-
lieve it! She is making no war tin
you, or on her aunt' it's against me!
She enjoys a contest; she trying to
beat me."

Origin of "Caucus."
"Caucus" is said to have arisen
from a corruption of the term "calk*
er's house" After violent lighting be-
tween the military and the ropemak-
era of Boston In ITTu the ropemakers
and the calkers, the better to meet
the soldiers, formed themselves Into
a society, "at the meetings of which
Inflammatory addresses were delivered
and the most violent resolutions
passed against the British govern-
ment and its agenis and instruments
tn America." Tin lories scoffed at
the calkers' meetings and the term
became In time softened into caucus.
However. Dr. Murray declares that
the word existed previously, and he
suggests the Greek "kaukos," a cup-
perhaps because at private meetings
the flowing bowl Is sometimes found.
