The girl, who had received , the customary homage due. to her l charms and loveliness, was Surprised ; by the unceremonious appearance of a j stranger, a tall, powerful man, travelstrained and dusty. Her father wel- j corned the newcomer so wannly that j Patricia turned to her admiring attend- j ants—Major O'Halleran, and Colonel j Grant—for information. She. learned I that tire stranger was Kerry Lorrinier, I the Commissioner's "Mystery Man. " Later on Patricia was introduced to Lorrinier and found him disconcerting, and somewhat contemptuous of her ac- \ complishments.
