CHAPTER XVIII.

Hereward has spent the morning in q
strange state of mind, state which is mix
turc of bitter and sweet, Of rest and unrest,
of pleasure and pain. His own implication
in the affair of the murder is the least Of his
troubles; he scarcely gives it thought. BIt
the bitterness, the unrest, the pain, comes
from the knowledge of his feelings towards
Lady Gladys Palliser, ana the knowledge
| that his hours in her presence are numbered
If his hours of life were numbered, it could
| not add much to his dispair.
But there is one sweetness amid the bitter,
| one pleasure in the pain, one rest in all the
| unrest, and that is the thought that he h,s
! borne something for her sake. And there is
the memory of her voice, of her eyes, of the
touch of her hand. She will never know
what these have been to him : but he knows !;
and for everything that the future may hold
for him of happiness he would not give up
their memory. His future cannot be very
happy, he tells himself vaguely.
In the midst of these roveries, Lady Gladys
comes into the room. She finds Hereward
pacing up and down the floor, and she stands
before the fire, looking ut him. For two or
three minutes she does not speak.
''Mr. Ecreward," she says at last, sthey
have found the handkerchief.
Hereward has paused in his walk. and con-
fronts her, looking down into her face.
'What will they do now ?" he asks quietly.
''They will place you under arrest"
Hereward neither starts nor changes color.
''Mr Hereward, release you from your
promise se'-LAdy Gladys's voice trembles q
little, hut not much.
Il do not wish to be released There is
only more necessity than ever for keeping
our knowledge to ourselves"
''lou do not see what that ineurs. You
are no longer free agent You dare not
leave this house. There are people watch
ing your every movement"
Il am not going to try. It would only do
harm to our cause
"It certainly would. But you cannot allow
them to arrest you:"
s'Why not: 1t will do me no harm"
'sYou must prove an ahbi-at least, You
must account for the finding of the hand
kerchief."
Il shall not betray Lord Heriot, you may
be sure Of that"
II am puzzled about that handkerchief.
cannot think how it came there. How
could they have found it near the place !:
You did not give it to my brother until you
met him, near KinSsleigh? p

train. He certainly did not return Here
