Denslow was about to add ssMrs. Chester
but his lips refused to frame the words.
He ended abruptly, but Agnes turned and

"Be careful. Agnes. there's a stem there -
Chester interrupted her with this re-
mark. and her sentence remained unfin-

bv this time. and Derslow's aunt beckoned
him TO her side, With a lifting of his hat

liked it.
Denslow's brain was in q whirl when
they reached the hotel, and he had gone TO
his room to make himself ready for tea
That he, sober sided Hugh. as his friends
had oftt called him, should be carving
on a Hi,r alton with married; woman. and
a bride at that, seemed to him an astound-
ing fact. He must cut himself loose in
some way. He would return to town the
next morning, although he had promised
to stay day or two longer He could
plead a business contingency. Clearly
this was very UNSAFE place for him at
the present time.
t He broke the news to Mrs. Rosiyn at the
tea table.
II was afraid you would find it stupid
here, Hugh" was her comment
Stupid If she only knew the real reason
for his going! was Denslow's reflection
The next day was even more beautiful
than its predecessor. Denslow decided to
walk to the station, in order to breathe in
as much of the ozone as possible before
getting back to town. AS be neared the
station he saw Agnes strolling up and
down the platform with Chester. She was
not in travelling dress. She had evidently
come down to see him eff. 1t was strange
he should leave her ii they were in their
honeymoon, Denslow thought. Perhaps,
though, it occurred to him, they had been
married for some time.
She smiled sweetly when she saw him
coming, but he imagined cloud came
over her face when her eye fell on his va
lise, which he stepped forward to take from
the omnibus driver.
care you going to leave so soon?" she
said.
Eyes. I must get back to town at once"
he replied.
