What had Mrs. Coventry got to do with
itf II it hadn't been for Bah the Colonel
would have gore back to London, too.
Oh, hang the woman! How he hated
on, what did she come for? And in . very

the carriage, and away they went to Ash.
ridge Manor.
If Colonel Seymour had mathematical
the snow before, henow had reason to bless
it; for the interest caused by their adven-
ture-the anxiety expressed and the affec-
ton shown-did away with all the neces-
sity for deception. Miss Hamblin's name
was not mentioned, nor was any a~llusion
made to her until luncheon.

Kitty began to laugh, but stopped sud-

Hes not doing any harm," said Kitty,
apologetically.
."Only ready to burst out all the strozger
when opportunity occurs" put in BAD, ma

that Mrs. Coventry was coming"
by the way asked the Colonel, "when
do you expect herr"
Tomorrow. L hope she Won't be stopped
by this weather. Perhaps L had better
write to herr"
Although the words were said as a ques-
ton, Colonel Seymour vouchsafed III an
swer. He seemed preoccupied int pro-
fessed himself tired.
81 think something's up with Rosiyn,"
Bob ventured to say, going into his wife's
room before Inner. He does not seem
himself, does he?"
81 don't know" she said, holding out a
telegram. "Read that from Helen Cow

girl; SO we'll connected; Mrs. Coventry
was so fond OF her.
And now those tiresome children must

to do?
"Could I be of any service to you in Sec

eyes open wide. 81 have to go to London

kitty's feet went pit-a-pat under the
table; her inclination was to jump up and
execute a saraband.
"Oh, but 1 don't like 70 trouble you"
said the little deceiyer; sits very kind,
No"
"But why no?" put in the Colonel, ener-
getically. 81 have nothing much to do,
and supposing it to be an exaggerated fear,

Kitty dared not look up, because th:t
