CHAPTER IX.
• The Hooded Woman'
"If you Want my opinion," said Mr.
Davis, when he had heard what'Scar,
borough had to tell him, "there is a
woman in it." •
His daughter, who was standing be-
hind him, exchanged a quiet glance
with the two young men,. and shrug-
ged her shoulders slightly. She was
a daint? little blonde, with big eyes
which -tried to look earnest, and man-
aged to book dreamy, ,
"That's what you always say, fa-
ther," she said. •
"Well, yes, Muriel," he admitted,
smiling. "Vbelieve it Is a Somewhat
frequent remark of mine., Generally
true, too."
• Muriel frowned.
' "/ dont see why you Should suppose
that a woman had anything to do with
it," she insisted. -
"No? Bgt you will fled that, as
muse, I shall' turn Out to be right."
Mr: • Davis hacked this confident
judgment with the ghost of a wink, to
Varney, and. laughed. The 'discussion
Which threatened was one whichfre-
quently arose in this household; for
Muriel,,having spent . the thinking
yaws ofher life -not, As yet; a very
lag one -in the seclusion of a lonely
pine -apple .quinta, was an aggreosive
disputant, and made up by the -violence
of her Views on the wrongs of her
sex for her total lack Of practical
knowledge of her sabject. Her daily
life from the time she was fourteen
had been - almost conventual in id
simplicity; she had had no opportunity
43t verifying by the observation of Ac-
tualities the opinions which she held
so strongIY; therefore she Was never
troubled with doubts. If there was
another side to the question, her favor.
JO „novels Cul not teach it, and no one
had ever Media her 'Fiee it. To be per-
fectly frank; n) one had ever seriously
tried, except her father, and his ef-
forts were chiefly aimed at drawing
her out. Ile Opposed her, for the sake
of seeing her eyes lose their dreamy
look hi a flash of temper, and her
• dolor rise with indignation; and when
he had ,enticed her into saying some-
thing sufficiently outting about the
• folly and brutality of men, he usually
chuckledand owned meekly that she
Was tight. He was almost absurdly
proud of hie 'fanatical little daughter.
Varney did not knew that this ex-
ercise was part of the daily routine at
the pine -apple quinta, and Was enjoyed
by both father and daughter; conse-
quently he was intlined to be angry at
that Wink, For Muriel Davis was Very
pretty.
"If you Mean," he said, "that there
is a ***Men at the bottom of most of
the good deeds that are deem in the
world, I am ready to agree With you."
"And Muriel will agree with you, and
think you are tt Very sensible fellow,"
said Mr. Davie, laughing. "But I
meant there Is a woman in every tieee
of mischief that is done, and always
will be -this side of the Golden River!
And I Won't say that the Sable state
of things mitylet obtain on the other

. "And the edges flap together, and
hide everything, unleos the wearer

Davis. "This wearer didn't. '- She even

•daughter, "I had some reason besides'
prejudice for saying that there was a

Murie shook her bead. "I don't see
the reason," she eald obstinatelY, but
I admit that you had more ground than
Usualfor your usual fancy:"
"More groand than uisuall My usual
fancy! Why, I sew bort Anyway I

"And imagined all the rest. She was
walking in the samedirection as Mr.

Scarborough cut In quickly 'with a

"7 don't think so."

"I don't."
