Keturning to t^e iioiei rroiii aira.
Brace's villa, he found awaiting him a
cable from Jeplison. The cable as
sured him that beyond any question
the man in San Marco was Allan Har
rowby and. like Caesar's wife, above
suspicion.
Yet even as he read Lord Harrowby
walked through the lobby, and at his
side was Mr. James O'Malley, house
detective of the Hotel de la Pas. They

Msyrick's hair?" asked Minot hotly.
came frmn the manager's office, where
they bad evidently been closeted.
With the cablegram In his baud Mi
not entered the elevator and ascended
to his room. The other hand was In
the pockct of his topcoat, closed tight
ly upon Chain Lightning's collar—the
bauble that the Earl of Raybrook had
once wagered against a kiss.
Mr. Minot opened his eyes on Thurs
day morning with the uncomfortable
feeling that he was far from his be
loved New York. For a moment he lay
dazed, wandering in that dim border
land between sleep and waking. Then
suddenly he remembered.
"Ob. yes, by Jove," he muttered, "I've
been knighted. Groom of the back
stairs scandals and keeper of the royal
jewels—that's mp "
lie lifted his pillow. There on tbe
white sheet sparkled the necklace of
which the whole British nobility was
proud—Chain Lightning's collar. Some
seventy-five blue-white diamonds, pear
shaped, perfectly graduated. His for
the moment:
'What's Ilarrowby up to, I wonder?"
he reflected. "The dear old top! Nice,
pleasant little party if a policeman
should find this in my pocket."
Another perfect day shone in that
narrow Spanish street. Up in Manhat
tan theatrical press agents were crown
big huge piles of suow with posters an
nouncing 'heir attractions. Ferries
were ' U1 up by ice In the rlvei\ A
breeze .'i jui the arctic swept round the
Flatirou building. Here lazy summer
lolled on the bosom of the town.
In the hotel dining room Mr. Minot
encountered Jack Paddock, superb in
white flannels above his grapefruit
He accepted Paddock's Invitation to
join him.
"By the way." said Mrs. Bruce's jes
ter, holding up a small, badly printed
newspaper, "have you made the ac
quaintance of the San Marco Mail
yet?'
"No. What's that?"
"A morning newspaper, by courtesy.
Started here a few weeks back by a
noiseless little Spaniard from Havana
named Manuel Gonzale. Slipped In
here on his rubber soles, Gonzale, did,
dressed all in white, lovely lemon fr.ee,
shifty, can't catch me eyes. And his
newspaper—hot stuff, my boy. It has
Town Topics looking like a consular
report from Greenland."
"Scandals?" asked Mr. Minot, also
attacking the grapefruit
"Scandals and rumors of scandals.
Mostly hints, you know. Several ref
erences this morning to our proud and
haughty friend, Lord Harrowby. For
example, lime. On Dit, writing in her
column on page 1, has this to say:
'The impecunious but titled English
man who has arrived in our midst re
cently with the Idea of connecting
'With certain American dollars has an
Interesting time afiead of him, if ru
mor speaks true. The little incident
in the lobby of a local hotel the other
evening—which was duly reported in
this column at the time—was but a
mild beginning. The gentleman in
charge of the claimant to the title held
so Jealously by our British friend prom
j ises immediate developments which
will be rich, rare and racy.'"
"Rich, rare and racy!" repeated Ml
not thoughtfully. "Ah, yes; we were
to watch Mr. Trimmer! I had almost
forgot him in the excitement of last
evening. By the way, does the Mail
know anything about the disappear
ance of Chain Lightning's collar?"
"Not as yet," smiled Mr. Paddock,
"although Mme. On Dit claims to have
been a guest at / the dinner. By the
way, what do you make of last night's
melodramatic farce?"
"I don't know what to make of it,"
answered Mlnot truthfully. He was
suddenly conscious of the necklace In
bis inside coat pocket
CHAPTER VII.
After th» Trained Seals.
^H^OT and Faddock returned
late, and their dinner was cor
respondingly delayed. It was
8:30 o'clock when they at last
strolled into the lobby of tho De la
Pax. There they encountered Miss
Meyrlck, her father and Lord Har
rowby.
"We're taking Harrowby to the
movies," said Miss Meyrlck. "He con
fesses he's never been. Won't you
come along?"
She was one of her gay selves to
night—white, slim, laughing, Irrislstl
ble.
After the third picture the lights of
the auditorium were turned up, and
the hour of vaudeville arrived. On
to the stage strolled a pert, confident
youth garbed In shabby grandeur,
who attempted sidewalk repartee.
When the young man had wrung
the last encore from a kindly audi
ence the drop curtain was raised and
revealed on the stage in gleaming
splendor Captain Ponsonby's troupe
of traliie-1 seal9. An Intelligent ag
"i have the Honor to introduce the real
Lord Harrowby."
gregation they proved, balancing balls
on their small heads, juggling flaming
torches and taking as their Just due
lumps of sugar from the captain's
hand as they finished each feat
"Clever beasts, aren't they?" Lord
Harrowby remarked. And as Captain
Ponsouby took his final curtain his
lordship added:
"Er—what follows the trained
seals?"
The answer to Harrowby's query
came almost immediately, and a
startling answer It proved to be.
Into the glare of the footlights step
ped Mr. Henry Trimmer. His manner
was that of the conquering hero.
"My dear lrlends," be said. "I apprrv
elate this reception. As I said In my
handbill of this afternoon, I am work
ing in the interests of Justice. The
gentleman who accompanies me to
your delightful little city Is beyond any
question whatsoever George Harrow
by, the eldest Bon of the Earl of Ray
brook, and as such he Is entitled to
call himself Lord Harrowby. I know
the American people well enough to
feel sure that when they realize the
facts they will demand that Justice be
done. That is why 1 have prevailed
upon Lord Harrowby to meet you here
In this, your temple of amusement,
and put his case before you. His lord
ship will talk to you for a time with
a view to getting acquainted. He has
chosen for the subject of his discourse
'The Old Days at Rakedale Ilall.' La
dles and gentlemen, 1 have the honor
to introduce the real Lord Harrowby."
Out of the wings shuffled the lean
and gloomy Englishman whom Mr.
Trimmer had snatched from the un
known to cloud a certain wedding day.
The applause burst forth. It shook the
building. From the gallery descended
a shrill penetrating whistle of acclaim.
Mr. Mlnot glanced at the face of the
girl beside him. She was looking
straight ahead, her cheeks bright red,
her eyes flashing with anger. Beyond
the face of Harrowby loomed, frozen,
terrible.
"Shall we—go?" Mlnot "whispered.
"By no means," the girl answered.
"We should only call attention to our
presence here. I know at least fifty
people in this audience. We must see
it through."
And there in that crowded little
southern opera house on that hot Feb
ruary night the actor who followed
the trained seals proceeded to go back.
With unfaltering touch he sketched for
his audience the great stone country
seat called Rakedale Hall, where for
centuries the Harrowbys had dwelt
It was as though he took his audience
there to visit—through the massive
Iron gates up the broad avenue bor
dered with limes until the high chim
neys, the pointed gables, the mullioned
windows and the walls half hidden by
ivy, creeping roses and honeysuckles
were revealed to them. He took them
through the house to the servants'
quarters—which he called "the offices"
—out Into tlie kitchen gardens, thence
to tlie paved quadrangle of the sta
bles with Its arched gateway and the
chiming clock above. Tennis courts,
grape houses, conservatories, they vis
ited breathlessly. They saw over the
brow of the hill the low square tower
of the old church and the chimneys of
the vicar's modest house, and far
away they beheld the trees that fur
nished cover to the little beasts it was
the Earl of Raybrook's pleasure to
hunt in the season.
Becoming more specific, he spoke of
the neighbors, and a bit of romance
crept in in the person of the fair hair
ed Hon. Edith Towushend, who lived
to the west of Itakedale Hall. He
described at length the picturesque per
sonality^ the "racing parson," neigh
bor on The south and in full accord
with the Ideas of the sporting Ear! of
Raybrook.
Next the speaker shifted his scene
to Eton, thrilled his hearers with the
story of his revolt against Oxford, of
his flight to the States, his wild days
in Arizona. And he pulled out of his
pocket a letter written by the old Ear!
of Raybrook himself profanely expos
tulating with him for his madness and
begging that he return to ascend to the
earldom when the old man was no
more.
The "real Lord Harrowby" finished
reading this somewhat pathetic appeal
with a little break in his voice and
stood looking out at the audience.
"If my brother Allan himself were
In the house," he said, "he would have
to admit that it is our father speaking
in that letter."
A rustle of interest rau through the
auditorium. The few who had recog
nized Harrowby turned to stare at him
now. For a moment he sat silent, his
face a variety of colors in the dim
light. Then with a cry of rage he
leaped to his feet.
"You stole that letter, you cur," he
cried. "You are a liar, a fraud, an
Impostor."
The man on the stage stood shading
his eyes with his hand.
"All, Allan," he answered, "so you
are here, after all? Is that quite the
proper greeting after all these years?"
A roar of sympathetic applause greet
ed this sally. There was no doubt as
to whose side Mr. Trimmer's friend,
the public, was on. Harrowby stood
in his place, his lips twitching, his eyes
for once blazing aud augry.
Dick Mlnot was by this time escort
ing Miss Meyriek up the aisle, and
they came quickly to the cool street.
Harrowby, Paddock and Spencer Mey
riek followed Immediately. Ills lord
ship was most contrite.
At the hotel Miuot ascended to the
third floor. As he wandered through
the dark passageways in search of his
room he humped suddenly Into a heavy
man walking softly. Something about
the contour of the tnan in the dark
gave him a suggestion.
"Good evening, Mr. Wall," he said.
The scurry of hurrying footsteps, but
no answer. Mlnot went on to 38'J and
placed his key in the lock. It would
not turn. He twisted the knob of the
door. It was unlocked. He stepped
Inside and flashed on the light
His small abode was in a mad dis
order. The chiffonier drawers had
been emptied on the floor, the bed was
torn to pieces, the rug thrown in a cor
ner. Mlnot smiled to himself.
Some one bad been searching—
searching, for Chain Lightning's collar.
WHot "Wholiut tn& man nc eaa duhu>
ed against In that dark passageway?
Aa Dick Mlnot bent over to pick up
his scattered property a knock sounded
on the half open door, and Lord Har
rowliy dopped in. The nobleman was
gloom personified. He threw himself
despondently down on the bed.
"Minot, old chap," he drawled, "it's
all over." Ilis eyes took in the wreck
age. "Eh? What the deuce have yOT
been doing, old boy?"
"I haven't been doing anything," Ml
not answered. "But others have been
busy While we were at the—er—the
ater, fond fingers have been searching
for Chain Lightning's collar."
"The devil! You haven't lost it?"
"No—not yet, I believe." Minot took
the envelope from his pocket and
drew out the gleaming necklace. "Ah,
it's still safe"— *
Harrowby leaped from the bed and
slammed shut the door.
"Dear old boy!" he cried. "Keep the
accursed thing in your pocket. No one
must see it. I say, who's been search
ing here? Do you think it could have
been O'Malley?"
"What Is O'Malley's interest In your
necklace?"
"Some other time, please. Sorry to
inconvenience you with the thing. Do
hang on to It, won't you? Awful mlx
up if you don't Bad mixup as It la.
As I said when I came in, it's all
over."
"What's all over?"
"Everything. The marriage — my
chance for happiness—Minot, I'm a
most unlucky chap. Meyrick has Just
postponed the wedding iu a frightfully
loud tone of voice.".
