Mrs. Tredway’s demeanor, and wine unaware that Geoffrey Mar- stead was mounting the staircase, un- til they came face to face. He stood on the landing facing her, in his. eyes there was an expression of mingled amazement and recognition which she could not, fathom,
“Why are you so exactly like a miniature that belongs to me?” he asked abruptly, giving her no grect- ing, but pausing exactly in her path, and looking her up and down with that puzzled yet surprised look of recognition. “What an extraordinary coincidence. I never saw such a likeness in my life.”
“JT don’t know what you mean, sir,’ she faltered. “1 don’t thihk I can be like any miniature of yours, and please may I pass?) I am keeping the dressmaker waiting. I only had to put this on to save Miss Connie; she was very tired of standing. She and Madame Laura are waiting for : me.’
: They stood alone on the landing, for Geoffrey was accustomed to go upstairs to the drawing room unan- nounced. And before the young man reached the top of the stairs, Crew- son had vanished to the back re- ions. “I don’t understand you,” eg faltered, as Geoffrey's glance remained fixed intently upon her,
“T don’t understand it either; it puzzles me more than I can say,” he answered; “but we have got to und- erstand it. There is something about this which will have to be explained. It can’t possibly be a mere coinci-' dence. 4 don’t know why I never saw the likeness before. I don't know whether it is that I never took} in exactly what yo" were like, oF | whether it is: that the white you | haye on now make: you look differ- ent. Anyhow, there is over the fact that toda; actly like my miniature Donaldson. age.”

about her. But you are her living image; there is no getting away from that! You might haye sat for the miniature which has her name under- neath it; you are her living image.”
CHAPTER X. The Miniature
In the small room which Mrs. Tredway dignified by the name of a library, three people were assembled on a summer morning a week later -—~Geoffirey Marstead, the young mil- lionaire, Geoffrey Marstead’s solici- tor, Mrs. Dansmere, and the girl known to the houschold as Deane, the young ladies’ maid.
Mr. Dansmere, sitting at the writ- ing table, looked precisely what he was—a quiet, shrewd man of | bisi- ness, not largely blessed with imagi- nation; very unemotional; too igh accustomed to sceing seamy sides of life to take a very rosy view of hu-
to make allowances for the weaknes- ses of humanity. Rather reluctantly he had acceded to Geoffrey's insist- ent, almost imperious request to come and interview, the girl whose likeness to the miniature of Delicia Donaldson's miniature had so start- ~ led him, And though the lawyer had shrugged his shoulders and _ stated his conviction that they would find themselves engaged on a will-o'-the- wisp pursuit, he was too wise a man to refuse to carry out the behests of a millionaire, however foolish those behests might. appear.
When Geoffrey had informed his future mother-in-law of the startling resemblance he had found between her daughters’ maid and the woman of the miniature, Mrs. Tredway had; laughed as contemptuous a laugh as diplomatic considerations permitted, But’ diplomacy dictated very judici- ous treatment of a wealthy son-in- Jaw who was still only a prospective one, and this consideration tempered her contempt.
“My dear Geoffrey,” she said, “you are disturbing a mare's nest! ow could a maid, a mere maid, have any connection with this Miss Donaldson to whom your father wished to leave his money? Why, the idea is posi- tively ridiculous, ‘The likeness you
must be the most absolute coinci- dence, one of those strange coinci- dences which do sometimes happen.”
“Possibly,” was Geoffrey’s terse re- ated had never thorouaehy liked ‘onnic’s mother—“possibly. But the likeness is so extraordinary that wae to make every possible

tor had known, that his mind was irrevocably made up, and that she night as well expect to move his re- solution as to move the dome of St. Paul's,
Hence it had come about that Mr, Dansmere, Marstead and te faced one another in the little ‘library, whither the girl had been summon- ed, with a request that she» would bring with her any documents or ar- ticles she possessed which might be, of assistance in tracing her identity.
But those articles were 80 few ,in number that the lawyer shrugged his shoulders slightly, and shook his head.
“T don't know whether we shall ar- | rive at any satisfactory conclusion,”
he said, glancing at Marstead, then turtiing to Meg. “You have no clues whatever to your identity re looked |

these two things?” and he looked searchingly into Meg’s face, as_ she stood beside the table in Mrs: Tred-| hr library.
I have nothing more, These are st the clues I have ever. posses- sed,” she answered, lookin from, the lawyer to Geoffrey, whe py standing: with his back to the fire place. “That locket was round my| neck when Dr. Naldrett found me on his doorstep; the prayer book was in my pocket; I have often_read the words, ‘May, from Mother,’ and won- dered about them, but I do not know who May is, and I never heard of Pender’s Bar.”
Mr. Dansmere held in his hand a small, shabby prayer book, his eyes read the words Mcg quoted, the words written in a fine, rather shaky hand on the front page.
“Unless we can find out the identi- ty of the May mentioned here, and the whereabouts of Pender’s Bay, we are no nearer than before to a discovery of the truth,” the lawyer said slowly, looking up at Marstead.

“The likeness between this - young lady and the miniature my father gave me is too striking to be a mere} coincidence,” Geoffrey answered in puzzled accents. “I cannot give any | opinion about the inscription in the prayer book, but Miss-Deane must certainly be connected in some way
with Delicia Donaldson. Such an ex: | b It tse be 3 traordinary resemblance could not eautiiu. an possibly be a chance one. You must lasting benefit in see that for yourself,” he added, the home.
“The fee is undoubtedly very Columbia strong,” Dansmere replied, cau- tiously, pickings up a miniature from the table and comparing the pictured face with that of the girl before him, “and I am inclined to agree sa you that the likeness is too remark- able to be put down to a mere coin- cidence. But having said that, we can say no-more. We reach an im- passe. The difficulty of discovering the missing link between the lady of the portrait and Miss Deane remains
apparently as insuperable as ever: Where are we to begin to look for the link? Miss Deane has _ never
heard of Miss Donaldson, she knows nothing of her own antecedents; even the name in the prayer book and the
face in the locket are unknown to her. Where are we to begin our search?”

‘Conserving Food
Good Work Carried on by Railroads and Hotels in U. &.
After a trip across the continent and back Tim Healy, ‘president of the association of commercial trav- \eileie of the United States, who | Pledged themselves last summer to act as aides to the United States food administration, reports enthusi- astic co-operation on conservation in hotels everywhere. He _ visited Denver, Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City, Los Angeles, Portland, Taco- ma, Spokane and Butte and found that the food administration program was being followed cagerly.
H. S. Calcutt, superintendent of dining car service on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, reports to the hotel section of the food administra- tion, that the beefless day was in- augurated on that line on September 25th and that the ‘service of wheat cakes, wheat biscuits, etc., was ‘dis- continued and since then griddle cakes have been made of buckwheat and corn meal and bread of rye, graham and corn meal,
Of the thousands of persons serv- .
ed since then not one has complain- ‘ed against the wheat or meat con- |servation policy. Pamphlets have been put out by this company for distribution among their guests, sug- gesting that the principles of the food administration be adopted in ithe homes of the travelers and ev- ery effort has been made to forward the work otherwise. Popular res- taurants in Boston have chosen a direct method of doing their part towards conservation by printing the following dn the menu cards:
