Chapter XIII Continued
lu Lord liarrowby'B suit that gentle
man sat in considerable nervousness,
awaiting the umlesired encounter.
With him sat Miss Meyrlck find her
father, whom lie bud thought it neces
sary to invite to witness the ordeal
Itichard Mlnot uneasily paced the floor,
avoiding as much as possibl* the
glances of Miss Meyrick's brown eyes.
Ten o'clock was upon him. and Mr.
Minot was no nearer a plan of action
than he had been the preceding night
Every good press agent is not with
out a live theatrical sense, and Mr.
Trimmer was no exception. Lie left
his trembling claimant In the entrance
hall and strode into the room.
"Good morning." he said brightly.
"Here we are. on time to the minute
Ah! I beg your pardon!"
Lord Harrowby performed brief in
troductions, which Mr. Trimmer effu
sively acknowledged. Then he turned
dramatic-ally toward his lordship.
"Out here in the hallway stands a
poor, broken creature." he began.
"Your own flesh and blood, Allan Har
rowby." Obviously Mr. Trimmer had
prepared speeches for himself as well
as for poor old George. "For twenty
odd aud impecunious years," he went
on, "this man has been denied his
Just heritage. We are here this morn
ing to perform a duty"—
"i;y uear leiiuw, uivu iu u«n
by wearily, "why should you Inflict
oratory upon us? Bring In thl9—et—
gentleman."
"That I will," replied Trimmer hearti
ly. "And when you have heard his
story, digested his evidence, 1 am
sure"—
"\'es, yes. Bring him In."
Mr. Trimmer stepped to the door.
He beckoned. A very reluctant figure
shuffled In. George's fnce wns gi-een
with fright. His knees rattled togeth
er. He made altogether a ludicrous
picture, and Mr. Trimmer himself not
ed this with sinking heart.
"Allow me," said Trimmer theatrical
ly. "George, Lord Harrowby!"
George cleared his throat, but did
not succeed in dislodging his heart,
which was there at the moment.
"Fawncy seeing you after all these
years," he mumbled weakly to no one
In particular.
"Speak up!" said Spencer Meyrick
sharply.
"Who Is it you're talking to?"
"To him," explained George, nodding
toward Lord Harrowby. "To my
brother Allan. Don't you know me,
Allan? Don't you know"—
He stopped. An expression of sur
prise and relief swept over his worried
face. He turned triumphantly to Trim
mer.
"1 don't have to prove who I am to
him," he announced.
"Why don't you?" demanded Trim
mer in alarm.
"Because he can't, I fancy," put in
Lord Harrowby.
"No," said George slowly, "because
I never saw him before In all my
life."
"Ah, you admit tt!" cried Allan Har.
rowby with relief.
"Of course I do," replied George "I
never saw you before In my life."
"And you're never been at Rake
dale Hall, have you?" Lord Harrow
bv rlamaruiadL . ...
"Hore^-wnlt a minutel" shouted
Trimmer, in a panic.
"Oh, yes, I've been lit Rftkedalo
Hall," an Id the claimant firmly. "I
spent my boyhood there. But you've
never been there."
"I—what"—
"You're never been at Rakedale
Hall. Why? Because you're not Al
lan Harrowby! That's -why."
A deathly silence fell. Only a little
traveling clock on the mantel was ar
ticulate.
"Absurd, ridiculous!" cried Lord Har
rowby.
"Talk about impostors," cried George,
hU spirit and his courage sweeping
back, "you're one yourself! I wish
I'd got a good look at you sooner. I'd
have put a stop to all this. Allan Har
rowby, eh? I guess not I guess I'd
know my own brother If I saw him.
I guess I know the Harrowby features.
I give you twenty-four hours to get
out of town, you blooming fraud!"
"The man's craay," Allan Harrowby
cried. "Raving mad He's an Im
postor. This Is a trick of his." He
looked helplessly around the circle. In
every face he sttw doubt, questioning.
"Good heavens, you're not going to lis
ten to him? He's come here to prove
that he's George Harrowby. Why
doesn't he do it?"
"I'll do it," said George sweetly,
"when I meet a real Harrowby. In the
meantime I give yon twenty-four hours
to get out of town. You'd better go."
Victorious, George turned toward the
door. Trimmer, lost between admira
tion and doubt, turned also.
"Take my advice," George proclaim
ed. "Make him prove who he is. That
is the Important point now. What
does it matter to you who I am?
Nothing. But It matters a lot about
him. Make him prove that he's Allan
Harrowby."
And with the Imperious manner that
he should have adopted on entering the
•Talk about Impoatora," cried George.
room George Harrowby left It Mr.
Trimmer, eclipsed for once, trotted at
bis elde.
"Say," cried Trimmer In the hall, "la
that on the level? Isn't he Allan Har
rowby?"
"I should say not," said George
grandly. "Doesn't look anything llko
Allan."
Trimmer chortled In glee.
"Great 6tuCf!" he cried. "I guess we
tossed a bomb, eh? Now we'll run
him out of town."
"Oh, no," said George. "We've done
our work here. Let's go over to Lon
don now and see the pater."
"That we will." cried Trimmer—
"that we will! By gad, I'm proud of
you today, Lord Harrowby I"
Inside Allan Harrowby's suit three
pairs of questioning eyes were turned
on that harassed nobleman. He fidget
ed in his chair.
"I say," he pleaded, "It's all hi?
bluff, you know."
"Maybe," said old Spencer Meyrick,
rising. "But, Harrowby, or whatever
your namo is, there's altogether too
much three ring circus about this wed
ding to suit roe. My patience Is ex
hausted, sir, clean exhausted. Things
look queer to me—have right along.
I'm more than inclined to believe what
that fellow said."
"But, my dear sir, that chap Is a rank
Impostor. There wasnt a word of
truth in what he said. Cynthia, you
understand"—
"Why, yes, I suppose so," the girl
replied. "You are Allan Harrowby,
aren't you?"
"My dear girl, of course I am."
"Nevertheless," said Spencer Mey
rick, with decision, "I'm going to call
the wedding off again. Some of your
actions haven't made much of a hit
with me. I'm going to call it off until
you come to me and prove that you're
Allan Harrowby, a lord In good and
regular standing, with all dues paid."
"But—confound it, sir—a gentleman's
word"—
"Mr. Meyrick," put In Mlnot, "may I
be allowed to say that I consider your
action hasty"—
"And may I be allowed to ask what
affair this is of yours?" demanded Mr.
Meyrick hotly.
"Father," cried Miss Meyrick, "please
do not be harsh with Mr. Mlnot Hla
heart Is absolutely set on my marriage
with Lord Harrowby. Naturally
feels very badly over all this."
Mlnot winced.
"Come, Cynthia," said Meyrick, mov
ing toward the door. "I've had enough
of this pfay acting. Remember, sir,
the wedding Is off—absolutely off— un
til you are able to establish your iden
tity beyond question."
And he and his daughter weut out.
Mlnot Bat for a long time staring at
Lord Harrowby. Finally he spoke.
"Say, Harrowby," he Inquired? "who
the devil are you?"
His lordship sadly shook his head.
"You, too, Brutus," he sighed.
"Haven't 1 one friend left? I'm Allan
Harrowby. Ask Jepbson. If I weren't
that policy that's causing you so much
trouble wouldn't be worth the paper
it's written on."
"That's right too. Well, admitting
you're Harrowby, how are you going to
prove It?"
"I've an idea," Harrowby replied.
"Everything comes to him who waits.
What is it?"
"A very good friend of mine—an old
Oxford friend—is attached lo oi:r em
bassy at Washington. lie was plan

"Remember, sir, the wedding is off—
absolutely off."
nlng to come down for the wedding.
I'll telegraph him to board the next
train."
"Good boy!" said Minot. "That's a
regular Idea. Better send the wire at
once."
Harrowby promised, and they parted.
Shortly after 6 o'clock a delayed tel
egram was delivered to Mr. Minot It
was from Mr. ThaeUer, and it read:
"Hare located the owner of the yacht
Llleth (its real name the Lady Evelyn),
stolen from owner in North river. lie
is on his way south. Will look you up
on arrival."
Minot whistled. Here was a new
twist for the drama to take.
At about the same time Minot re
ceived his message a similar slip of
yellow paper was put mro rne nanus or
I.ord Uarrowby. Three times lie read
it, his eyes staring, his cheeks flushed.
Then he fled to his rooms. The eleva
tor was not quick enough; he sped up
the stairs. Once in his suit, he dragged
out the nearest traveling bag and be
gan to pack like a madman.
Mr. Minot was finishing a leisurely
and lonely dinner about an hour later
when Jack Paddock ran up to his table.
Mr. Paddock's usual calm was sadly
ruffled.
"Dick," he cried, "here's news for
you. I met. Lord Harrowby sliding out
1 a side door with a suit case Just now."
Minot leaped to his feet.
"What docs that mean?" he won
dered aloud.
"Mean?" answered Mr. Paddock. "It
means just 011c thing. Old George had
the right dope. Ilarrowby Is a fake.
He's making his cetaway."
