Book excerpt: A near-sighted German music teacher crossed his legs at an inopportune moment, and this trivial action led directly to the startling incidents of the following narrative, with their momentous effects upon several lives. This singular occurrence took place on a railway train in England, a boat train with passengers from Paris, three of these, a strangely assorted trio, being brought together by fate within the respectable cushioned walls of a first-class carriage. On one side sat an English bishop, in formal black garments, talking with evident interest and a certain deference to a very pretty and smartly dressed American girl, whose fresh views and charming lack of reverence seemed to delight the rather heavy-minded but well-meaning prelate. Small wonder that the ecclesiastical gaze was held in rapt attention, for Miss Betty Thompson (of New York and recently of Paris) was not only fair to look upon with her teasing blue eyes, her long curling lashes, her auburn hair shot through with golden lights and her adorable mouth upturned at the corners, but she added to these the fatal gift of unexpectedness. So the bishop looked and listened and marveled, while the tired lines faded from his face and he reflected that, after all, the ride from Dover to London was very short, amazingly short. The other one of this trio, whose meeting here was to have such far-reaching consequences, was a quietly attired young woman, traveling alone, her black hair and warm ivory coloring seeming to indicate a Latin origin. She, too, was a girl of striking beauty, but there was something of sadness and yearning in the depths of her lustrous dark eyes. As if weary with the journey, she dozed from time to time or seemed to doze, her thick lashes lifting occasionally for a languid glance at her companions and then drooping again, while a faint, half-wistful smile played about her full red lips.

CHAPTER XXXIV THE FIVE-BAR GATE IT may interest you young people to know," the bishop was saying in the library, "that Annie Laurie--you know she was the daughter of Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwellton, and--er--she married an ancestor of mine." "Really! Tell us about her," exclaimed Betty, leaning forward eagerly. "I'm afraid there isn't much to tell except that she did not marry the poor young man--what was his name?--who wrote those tender verses about her?" "She didn't?" frowned Bob, while Miss Thompson watched him with a roguish smile. "No. She married my ancestor. I have always had the deepest sympathy for that unappreciated poet." Young Baxter nodded wisely. "Perhaps he'd have been more appreciated if he hadn't been so much of a poet. While he was making rhymes to Annie your ancestor got busy with the girl, and the first thing Mr. Poet knew the other fellow had landed her." "Ha, ha, ha!" chuckled the prelate. "That sounds like one of your father's remarks." "Speaking of Father," Bob glanced at his watch, "I'm expecting him up from town on this next train. I hope nothing detains him." "I hope not," said the churchman earnestly. "I have been looking forward to seeing my dear old friend and--er--I wanted him to be present in case this detective reports anything that seems--er--important" "Exactly," agreed the young man. At this moment Merle entered, looking pale and anxious, and, bowing respectfully to the bishop, he went close to Baxter and said something in a low tone. "Oh! All right. I'll see him," nodded Bob. Then to Betty and his lordship: "If you'll excuse me, I--er--there's a little matter I must attend to." And he hurried off, followed by Horatio. "Oh, Mr. Merle! May I speak to you a moment?" called the bishop. Horatio turned and...
