Owen Jephson Insures Lord Harrowby
(hat Cynthia Meyrlck shall not change
her mind about marrying him. Richard
Minot, a clerk. Is sent to Florida to save
t he policy.
Minot tries to board tho yacht Lileth, on
which Harrowby left for Florida, and is
thrown overboard. He leaves on the Palm
Beach special.
On tho train at Jacksonville Mlnol
meets a beautiful girl. He falls In love
with her. She proves to be Cynthia Mey
rlclc.
Cynthia Me.vrlck tells Minot she Is to
marry Lord Harrowby In a week. Henry
Trimmer, an advertising specialist, tells
Minot he ll bust up tU» wedding.
Trimmer produces another man, who
says he Is the real Lord Harrowby. Minot
overhears a conversation which convinces
him that Martin Wall. Harrowby's friend,
Is a jewel thief.
At a house party Chain Lightning's col
lar. a Harrowby Jewel, Is stolen from
Miss Meyrlck. Lord Harrowby admits the
theft and gives Minot the Jewel.
Trimmer again produces the man he
claims to be 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.
The two newspaper men, unaware that
they are on a blackmailing sheet, get big
salaries. Minot cleverly gets Gabrielle
Rose out of town.
Minot goes to the newspaper odlce 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.
Trimmer rehearses tho fake l.ord Har
rowby for an Interview with tho Mey
rlck girl's father. After the Interview
Spencer Me.vrlck again declares the wed
ing i>fr
When l.ord Harrowby suddenly leaves
town Minot. convinced that ho Is a fake
lord, confesses his love to Cynthia Mey
rlck. The real George Harrowby appears.
George Harrowby exposes the fake Lord
Harrowby, and nothing ^eoms likely to
prevent the wedding of the real Lord
Ilarrowbv and Miss Meyrlck.
Cynthia Meyrlck admits to Minot that
she loves him. Minot saves her wedding
dress from the flames. She declares she
hates him.
Spencer Meyrlck hears of the love In
surance. Lord Harrowby, pleading the
gambling Instincts of his family, con
fesses. Again the wedding Is postponed.
Minot tearfully explains to Cynthia
Meyrlck his part In the affair. She spurns
him. They meet again on the train to
Jacksonville. Minot Is forgiven. They ar
range for their wedding.
"Cynth'la !*'* Anil nny who had con
sidered l.ord Harrowby unfeeling
must have been surprised at the an
guish in his voire. "I hare loved you—
I love you now. I adore you. What
can I say in explanation of this? We
"Cynthia," he asked, "have you nothing
to «ay?"
gamble, ail of us. It Is a passion bred
In the family. That is why I took out
this absurd policy. My dearest, it
doesn't mean that there was no love
011 my side. There Is—there always
will be, whatever happens. Can't you
understand"—
The girl laid her hand on his arm and
drew him away to the window.
"It's no use, Allan," she said, for his
ears alone. "Perhaps I could have for
given. but somehow I don't care as I
thought I did. It is better, embar
rassing as it may be for us both, that
there should be no wedding after all."
"Cynthia, you can't mean that Ton
don't believe me. Let me send for my
brother. He will tell you of the pas
I 6lon tor gambling In our family. He
| will tell you that I love you too."
| Ho moved toward the telephone.
| "No use," snlil Cynthia Meyrlck,
| shaking her head. "It would only pro
loug a painful scene. Please don't.
Allan!"
"I'll send for Mlnot, too!" Ilarrowhy
cried.
"Mr. Mlnot?" The girl's eyes nar
rowed. "And what has Mr. Mlnot to
do with this?"
"Everything. lie came down here
as the representative of Boyd's. He
came down to make sure that you
didn't change your mind. lie will tell
you that I love you."
A queer expression hovered nbotit
Miss Meyrlck's lips. Spencer Meyrlck
interrupted.
"Nonsense!" he cried. "There Is no
need to"—
"Ono moment." Cynthin Meyrlck's
eyes shone strangely. "Send for your
brother, Allan, and—for—Mr. Mlnot"
Harrowby stepped to the telephone
He summoned tils forces. a siriuueu,
unhappy silence ensued. Then the two
men entered the room together.
"Minot, George, old boy," Lord Har
rowby said helplessly, "Miss Meyrlck
and her father have discovered the ex
istence of n certain insurance policy
about which you both know. They
have believed that my motive in seek
ing a marriage was purely mercenary;
that my affection for the girl who Is—
was to have become my wife cannot
be sincere. They are wrong—quite
wrong. Both of you know that I've
sent for you to help me make them un
derstand. I cannot."
George Harrowby stepped forward
and smiled his kindly smile.
"My dear young lady," he said, "I
regret that policy very deeply. When
I first heard of It I, too, suspected Al
lan's motives. Rut after I talked with
him—after I saw you-I was convinced
that his affection for you was most
sincere. I thought back to the gam
bling schemes for which the family
has been uoted. I saw it was the old
passion cropping out anew in Allan—
that he was really not to blame—that
beyond any ciueslion he was quite de
voted to you. Otherwise I'd have doue
everything in my power to prevent the
wedding."
"Yes?" Miss Meyrick's eyes flashed
dangerously. "And your other wit
ness. Allan?"
The soul of the other witness squirm
ed in agony. This was too much—too
much!
"You. Minot," pleaded Harrowby—
"you have understood?"
"1 have felt that you were sincerely
fond of Miss Meyrlck." Minot replied.
"Otherwise I should not have done
what I have done."
"Then, Mr. Minot." the girl inquired,
"you think I would l»c. wrong to give
up all plans for the we* *i is?"
"I—1—yes, I do," writhed Minot.
"And you advise me to marry Lord
Harrowby at once?"
Mr. Minot passed his handkerchief
over his damp forehead. Had the girl
no mercy?
"I do," he answered miserably.
Cjnthla Meyrlck laughed, harshly,
mirthlessly.
"Because that's your business—your
mean little business." she said scorn
fully. "I know at last why you came
to San Marco. I understand every
thing. You had gambled with Lord
Harrowby, and you came here to see
that you did not lose your money.
Well, you've lost! Carry that news
back to the concern you work for! In
spite of your heroic efforts you've lost!
At the last moment Cynthia Meyriek
changed her mind!"
CHAPTER XIX.
Cynthia Breaks With Harrowby.
OST! The word cut Minot to tbe
quick. I.ost, indeed! Lost
Jcpbson's stake-lost the jrirl
he loved: lie had failed Jepli
son—failed himself! After all he had
done, all he had sacrificed, a double
defeat and therefore doubly bitter.
"Cynthia, surely you don't mean"—
Lord Ilarrowby was pl.iuling.
"I do. Allan," said the girl more gen
tly. "It was true what I told you there
by tbe window. It is far better. Fa
ther, will you go down and say I'm not
to be married, after all?"
Spenser Meyrlek nod.'ed and turned
toward the door.
"Cynthia." cried Harrowby brokenly.
There was no reply. Me.vrick went out.
"I'm sorry." his lordship said—"sor
ry I made such a mess of it. the more
so because 1 love you. Cynthia, and al
ways shall. Goodby."
lie held out his hand. She put hers
In it.
"It's too bad, Allan." she said. "But
It wasn't to be. And even now you
have one consolation—the money that
Boyd's must pay you."
"The money means nothing. Cyn
thia"—
"Miss MeyrlcU is mistaken," MInot
Interrupted. "Lord Harrowby has not
even that consolation. Boyd's owes
him nothing."
"Why not?" asked the girl defiantly.
"Up to an hour ago," said Minot,
"you were determined to marry his
lordship."
"1 should hardly put it that way.
But 1 intended to."
"Yes. Then you changed your mind.
Why?"
"I changed It because I found out
about this ridiculous policy."
"Then his lordship's taking out of the
policy caused the calling off of the wed
ding?"
"Y-yes. Why?"
"It may interest you to know and It
may interest Lord Harrowby to recall
that five minutes before he took out
this policy he signed an agreement to
do everything In bis power to bring
about the wedding. And he further
promised that if the wedding should
be called off because of any subsequent
act of his he would forfeit the pre
mium."
"By gadr'sald Lord llarrowby.
"Tbo tuk'ng out (if (lie policy wa- I
a subsequent a,-t." continued Mluot 1
"The preinfcm, I Is forfeited."
"lie's «ot you. Allan." s.iid Ceoi'K
llarrowby. <-oiuiug forward, "and I for
one can't say I'm sorry. You're golni;
to tear up that policy now and go to
work for me."
"I for one am sorry," cried Miss
Meyrlek, her flashing eyes on Mlnot. j
"I wanted you to win, Allan. 1 want
ed you to «.vin."
"Why?" Miuol asked innocently.
"You ouftbt to know," slie answered
and turned away.
Lord llarrowby moved toward the
door.
"We're not hard losers." he said
blankly. "But—everything's (,'one. It's
a bit of a sr.iashup. Goodby. Cynthia."
"Goodby, Allan—and good luck."
"Thanks." And llarrowby went out
