CA•1 a ce 1�1f Pauline" lac r` Of course, although the papers de- vote column after column to wild conjecture as to motive and piquant detail as to fact, the public, in real- ity, is allowed to know just as much and just as little of the family ro- prance as is thought good.; but the one extraordinary circumstance that fascinates the public is that the wo- man for whom the world was search- ed had all the time been in her own home among her own relatives, mas- querading as a man. In spite of her injuries Pauling does not die. Sir Ephraim's verdict, though it leaves small room for hope, is not a death sentence from which there is no •appeal. It is a great re- lief to Stephen, Nell, and Miss Clem- ency to realize this, but to the proud woman who feels acutely that she has made herself a byword and a laughing -stock to the world, and something worse to the few people whom she really cares for, the crip- pled barren life in store seems worse than the uttermost bitterness of ex- tinction. Pablo Valdez goes back to Santa Clara much richer than when he came, but in a very sulky and far from grateful frame of mind bear- ing with him a rooted prejudice a- gainst the unfriendly country in which he had been frozen and forc- ed to play an exceedingly foolish part. There is, he decides, as he looks back at the receding shores of Southampton water from the deck of the steamer, no temptation strong enough to induce flim to quit his own land of sunshine a second time, not even the vague prospect of inherit- ing the Abbey, with which the temp- tless, Pauline, had for a time dazzled 111s eyes. And Mr. IIardinge Stanley, brought face to face with Sir Step- hen and Nellie, proves himself the meekest and most amenable of crim- inals, not only admitting the theft of Paulina's necklace, but actually begging the girt he had frightened nearly out of her life to back him up in itis assertion that he had only yielded to an overpowering tonpta- ..tion when he snapped up what lay - so near his hand. • "I did not even come to see you, miss, that evening,” he leads earnest- ly. "My appointment was with Miss Blake, and I made sure I should find !ter in the library when all the rest of the household were in bed, but there were you with a candle and the string of pearls in your hand." "Miss Blake had made me put it Letterheads Envelopes Billheads And all kinds of Business Stationery printed at The Post Publishing House. We will do a job that will do credit to your business. Look over your stock of Office Stationery and if it requires replenishing call us by telephone 31. The Posh Publishing House on before we quarrelled," Nellie says. "I found it after I went up to bed, and came down to see if the jewel -case had .been left in the lib- rary" "But it had not," the man says. "I am not a thief, though Heaven only knows what any one will do if he is hard pressed! I am just an actor, heart and soul, who cannot help getting Into the spirit of his part. You, the ingenue of the play. were bringing the family plate to the blackmailer—myself. What could 1 do but play my part? I played it, and snatched the collar from your frightened fingers. Even then I did not mean to keep it, but at the mom- ent we heard Miss Blake coming downstairs. I crammed the pearls into my pocket and made for the open tioor while you screamed and dropped in a heap on the floor, just as a proper heroine would do. It could not have been better done If you and I and Miss Blake had re- hearsed it all!" Notwithstanding his impudent bravado, he watches the effect of his words with evident anxiety, but neither of his hearers is thinking of him. "Oh, Stephen, it was horrible!" Nell says, shuddering at the recol- lection.. "When I awoke it was al- most morning. I was dazed and stupid at first; then on looking round I found that the collar and the man were gone. But that was not the worst. When they told me later that Miss Blake had also vanished my heart nearly broke. Remember, I felt sure that he was my father and that he had caused her disappearance •—had killed her!" A few minutes suffice for Sir Step- hen to finish the man's connection with the miserable past, and togeth- er in the old library, where they have spent so many anxious hours, he and Nellie look into each other's eyes and know that the last cloud has vanished, leaving them( in the sunshine of full trust and love. "It is all over, darling!" he says gently, "All the mystery and the malice and the shadow! We have only to be happy now." "And we can be," the girl replies subbing. "For Miss Blake is really getting well—she is so changed, so gentle. And there is not even the shadow of a famly givarrel, for, do you know, Stephen, I have had the sweetest possible letter from Sylvia today? She forgives us all round, and will be charmed to join us for the fe:tivilties as soon as she can get ready." "Well, you are an angel, .Nell, to forgive her so readily, but Sylvia will .be Sylvia to the end of, the chapter—lighter than ,a feather and with no ballast, at the mercy of the first wind that blows, Let it drift her to our wedding!"
