SYNOPSIS
Owon Jephson Insures Lord Harrowby
that Cynthia Meyrlck shall not change
her mind about marrying him. Richard
MInot, a clerk. Is sent to Florida to save
the policy.
MInot tries to board the yacht Lileth, on
which Harrowby left for Florida, and is
thrown overboard. He leaves on the Palm
Beach special.
On the train at Jacksonville MInot
meets a beautiful girl. He falls In love
with her. She proves to be Cynthia Mey
rlck.
Cynthia Meyrick tells MInot she Is to
marry Lord Harrowby in a week. Henry
Trimmer, an advertising specialist, tells
Mlnoc he'll bust up the wedding.
Trimmer produces another man, who
says he la the real Lord Harrowby. MInot
overhears a conversation which convinces
him that Martin Wall, Harrowby's friend,
la a Jewel thief.
At a house party Chain Lightning's col
lar, a Harrowby Jewel, Is stolon from
Miss Meyrick. Lord Harrowby admits the
theft and gives MInot tho jewel.
Trimmer again produces the man he
claims to bo the real Lord Harrowby.
MInot plans to kidnap aboard the yacht
Lileth Trimmer's Lord Harrowby.
Gabrielle Rose, an actress and an old
flame of Lord Harrowby's, arrives In
San Marco. So do two newspaper men,
who get a Job on Gonzale's paper.
Tho two newspaper men, unaware that
they are on a blackmailing sheet, get big
salaries. MInot cleverly gets Gabrlelle
Hose out of town.
MInot goes to the newspaper office and,
after convincing the newspaper men that
they are working for a blackmailer, ob
tains possession of Harrowby's letters to
the actress.
In a kidnaping of Trimmer's Lord Har
rowby there is a scuffle, and MInot loses
Chain Lightning's collar. It Is returned
with a note from Martin Wall.
Chapter XII Continued '
"The dovll. Chain Lightning's col
lar!" cried Ilarrowby.
"Back to its original storage vault,"
said Miuot. "What Is this, Ilarrowby—
a Drury Lane melodrama?"
"My word! I can't make It out."
"Can't you? Got the necklace back
this morning with a note from Martin
Wall saying I dropped it last night In
the scrap on the deck of the Lileth."
"Confound the thing!" sighed Har
rowby. staring morosely at the dia
monds.
"My first impulse," said Miuot, "is to
hand the necklace back to you and
gracefully withdraw. Cut of course
I'm here to look after Jephson's Inter
ests"—
"Naturally," put In ITarrowby qnick
lv "And let me tell you that should
this necklace be found before the wed
ding Jephson Is practically certain to
pay that policy. I think you'd better
keep it. They're not likely to search
you again. If I took It, dear old chap,
thev search me every little while."
"You didn't steal this, did you?" Mi
uot asked.
"Of course not." Harrowby flushed
a delicate' pink. "It belongs In our
family—has for years. Everybody
knows that."
"Well, what Is the trouble?"
"I'll explain It all later. There's
really nothing dishonorable as men of

"Why did you kidnap—Mr. Trimmer1#
—friend?"
the world look at such things. I give
you my word that you can serve Mr.
Jephson best by beeping the necklace
for the present and seeing to It that It
does not fall Into the bands of the
men who are looking for It"
Minot sat staring gloomily ahead of
him. Then he reached out, took up the
necklace and restored It to his pocket
•'Oh, very ■wen," - no saia. "ir i m
sent to juil tell Thacker I went sing
ing an eplthalamium." He rose.
"By the way," Harrowby remarked,
"I'm giving a little dinner tonight at
the Manhattan club. May I count on
you?"
"Snrely," Minot smiled. "I'll be
there wearing our necklace."
"My dear fellow—ah, I see you mean
It pleasantly. Wear It by all means."
Mlnot passed from the eccentric
blooms of that dressing gown to the
more authentic flowers of the Florida
outdoors. In the plaza ho met Cynthia
Meyrick, rival candidate to thb morn
ing in Its glory.
"Matrimony," she said, "la more trou
ble than It seems on a moonlit night
under the palms. I've never been so
"busy in my life. By the way, two
of my bridesmaids arrived from New
York last night Lovely girls, both of
them. But I forget!"
"Forget what?"
"Your young heart is already en
snared, Isn't It?"
"Yes," replied Mlnot fervently, "It
Is. But no matter. Tell me about
your preparations for the wedding. I
should like to enjoy the thrill of It by
proxy."
"How like a man—wants all the
thrill and none of the bother. It's
dreadfully hard staging a wedding
way down here a thousand miles from
everything. But my gown came last
night from P.irla. Can you Imagine
tho thrill of that?"
"Only faintly."
"How stupid being a man must be."
"And how glorious being a girl, with
man only an afterthought even at wed
'dlng time."
t "Poor narrow by! He keeps In the
limelight fairly well, however." They
walked along a moment In silence.
"I've wondered," she said at length.
"Why did yon kl.inap— Mr. Trimmer's
—friend?"
"Because"'—
"Yes?" eagerly.
Minot looked at her, and something
rose in his throat to choke him.
"I can't tell you," he said. "It Is the
fault of—the master of the show. I'm
only the pawn, the baffled, raging, un
happy little pawn. That's all I can tell
you. You—you were speaking of your
wedding gown?"
"A present from Aunt Mary," she
answered, a strange tenderness !n her
tone. "For a good little girl who's
caught a lord."
"A charming little girl," said Mlnot
softly. "May I say that?"
"Yes"—her brown eyes glowed—"I'm
glad—to have you—say it I go In
here. Goodby—Mr. Kidnaper."
CHAPTER XIII.
Who'* Who In England.
mETE remainder of the day passed
lazily. Dlcli Mlnot felt lost
Indeed, for seemingly there
were no more doughty deeds
to be done In the name of Jephson.
The Gaiety lady was gone; her letters
were In the hands of the man who had
written them. The claimant to the ti
tle languished among the alligators of
Tarragona, a prisoner. Trimmer ap
peared to be baffled. Bridesmaids ar
rived. The wedding gown appeared.
It looked like smooth sailing now.
Jack Paddock, met for a moment lata
In the afternoon, announced airily:
"By the way, the Duke and Duchess
of Llsmore have conje. You know—
the sausage lady and her captive. My
word, you should see her! A wardrobe
to draw tears of envy from a theatrical
star. Fifty costly necklaces—and only
one neck!"
"Tragic," smiled Mlnot
"Funny thing has happened," Pad
dock whispered. "I met the duchess
once abroad. She sent for me this
noon and almost bowled- me over.
Seems she's heard of Mrs. Bruce as
the wittiest woman in San Marco, and
she's Jealous. 'You're a clever boy,'
says her ladyship to me. 'Coach me
up so I can outshine Mrs. Bruce.'"
"Good heavens, Jack! You wouldn't
try tp sell 'em both dialogue?"
"Why not? Play one against the
other. Make 'em keener for my goods.
I've got a notion to clean up here
quick and then go back to the real
stuff. That little girl from the middle
west—I've forgot all about her, of
course. But, speaking of cleaning up,
I'm thinking of it, Dick, my boy. Yes,
I believe I'll take them both on—se
cretly, of course. It means hard work
for me, but when one loves one's art
no service seems too tough."
"You're hopeless," Minot groaned.
"Say not so," laughed Paddock and
went away humming a frivolous tnne.
The twenty-four hours that followed
were hours of anxiety for Minot
Lord Harrowby having lost money at
the gaming table borrowed Chain
Lightning's collar from Minot and
tried in vain to get a loan on It from
j.om oiHcy. qui nuuuey, a luewui
house detective from New York, found
the necklace In Harrowby's pocket and
arrested him because the duty on the
necklace had not been paid. Spencer
Meyrlck, In a rage, sought Harrowby.
"I've talked matters over with Cyn
thia. The marriage la off for good!"
he declared. "This Is the last straw.
Good night and goodbyl"
Moved by an Inspiration, Mlnot sug
gested to the detective that possibly
the Jewels were not genuine. Much to
Lord Harrowby's surprise, apparently,
the detective declared that the Jewels
were "fine old bottle glass."
"I know the governor has been finan
cially embarrassed," Harrowby ex
plained to Cynthia, "but I never sus
pected him of this."
Spencer Meyrlck and Cynflia reluc
tantly agreed to let the wedding occur
as scheduled. Immediately thereafter
Mr. Trimmer announced that he had
found the kidnaped George and brought
him back with him. He demanded
that Lord Harrowby see George.
> • • • • • • •
"What's the matter with you?"
Seated in the lobby of^he De la. Pax
on sunaay morning, mr. Trimmer turn
ed a disapproving eye upon tlie lank
Englishman at bis side as be made
this query. And his question was not
without good foundation, for the as
pirant to the title of Lord Harrowby
was at the moment a jelly quaking
with fear.
"Fawncy meeting you after all these
years," said poor old George in an un
certain treble.
"Come, come!" cried Mr. Trimmer.
"Put a iittle more authority into your
voice. You can't walk up and claim
your rights with your knees dancing
the tango. This Is the moment we've
been looking forward to. Act deter
mined. Walk into that room upstairs
as though you werfe walking into Rake
dale hall to take charge of it."
"Allan, don't you know me? I'm
your brother George," went on the
Englishman, Intent on rehearsing.
"More like it," said Trimmer. "Put
the Are into it You're not expecting a
thrashing, you know. You're expecting
the title and recognition that belong
to you. I wish I was the real Lord
Harrowby. I guess I'd show 'em a
thing or two."
"I wish you was," agreed poor old
George sadly. "Somehow I don't seem
to have thejeirit I ijsed tp.have."

Early Printing.
Those who believe printing to have
been Invented in Europe during the
fifteenth century may have been sur
prised to read of Cambridge university
having acquired "the works of the Chi
nese philosopher, Liu Tsung Yuan,
printed in 11G7." China Lias been cred
ited with anticipating not a few mod
ern inventions, but her claim to have
discovered the art o? prlutiug centu
ries before its first adoption In Europe
is beyond dispute. An edition of most
of the Chinese classics was printed by
means of wood blocks In 922 A. D.,
and movable type is said to have been
devised by a blacksmith. Pi Shing, hi
