CHAPTER LXXXVl.
,IR. GLAsCOCK AS NURSE

A message had been sent by the wires
to TrevelyaD, to let him know that MT.
Glsscock was himself coming for the
boy. Whether such message would or
would not be sent out to CasaluDga Mr..
Glascock had been quite ignorant-hut
il could, at any rate, do no harm. He
did feel 1t hard as in this hot weather

thought, Nora had refused him. As fer

Marmaduke was nothing to him. He
was almost angry even with Mrs. IRE
yelyan as he arrived tired, heated, and
very dusty, at Sieua. 1t was his pur-
pose to sleep at Siena that night,
and to 90 out to Casaluuga early the
next morning. If the telegram had
not been forwarded, he would send
q message on that evening. On
inquiry, however, he found that the mes
sage had been sent, and that the paper
had been put into the Signore's own
hand by the Sienese messenger. Then
he got into some discourse with the
landlord about the strange gentleman at
Casalunga. Treveiyan was beginning
to become the subject of gossip
in the town, and people wsre say
ing that the stranger was very
strange indeed. The landlord thought
that if the Signore had any friends at
all, il would be we'll that such friends
should come and look after him. Mr..
Glascock asked if Mr.. Trevelyan was
i'll. 1t was not only that the Signore
was out of health-so the landlord heard
but that he was also somewhat

He ate nothing, and went nowhere, and
spoke to no one; and the people at the
hospital to which Cssalunga belonged
were beginning to be uneasy about.
their tenant. Perhaps Mr.. Glascock had
come to take him away. Mr.. Glascock
explained that he had not come to take
Mr.. Trevelyan away-but only to take
away a little boy that was with him. For
this reason he was travelling with q
maid servant-a fact for which Mr..
Glascock clearly thought it necessary
that he should give an Ineligible and
credible explanation. The landlord
seemed to think that the people at the
hospital would have been much rejoiced
had Mr.. Glascock intended to take Mr..
Trevelyan away also.
He started after very early break
fast, and found himself walking up
over the stone ridges to the house be-
tween nine and ten in the morning. He
himself had sat beside the driver and
had put the maid inside the carria ge.
He had not deemed il wise to take an
undivided charge of the boy even from
Casalunga to Siena. At the door of the
house, as though waiting for him, he
found Trevelyan, not dirty as he had
been before, but dressed with much ap-
pearance of smartness. He had a
brocaded cap on his head, and a shirt
with laced front, and worked waist
coat, and frockcSat, and colored bright
trowsers. Mr.. Glascock knew at once
that all the clothes which he saw before
him had been made for Italian and not
for English wear; and could almost have
said that they had been bought in Siena
and not in Florence. II had not intend.

cap to salute his visitor.
"For fear there might be mistakes, /

Mr.. Glascock. "You did not wish to see

Certainly not Sir Marmaduke," said
Trevelysn, with look of anger that was
almost grotesque.
"And you thought it better that Mrs.
Trevelyan should not come"
"Yes-I thought it better-but not

Poor Mr.. Glascock was afraid to de-
