h the future wish John were less
headstroag aud more phlesmatic.
He began to come to before long, and
then made him sip dozen teasl lnon-
fuls of brandy. which administered one
after the other. The slipping. more than
the brandy. stimulated his circulation.
and he was able to get up and walk. Ee
had no idea what had been the matter
with him: thought SIbyl must have
kicked him But it was of Sinhre that
his head was full. and suppose he must
have suffered a strong agony of emotion
during that minute and half that she
was in deadly peril and he was trying to
save her. If there had been any doubt
about his feeling for her before, there can
be none now And. as for her. if she is a
woman and not witch las sometimes
fancy, she cannot resist handsome
young millionaire whose first love she is
and who has saved her life, for beyond
peradventure she would have been in
kingdom come but for John.
Much obliged, old fellow; don't need
any help" said the heir of Cedarcliffe to
his younger brother. and took the hint,
like the dutiful youngster am, and re-
turned with my brandy flask to my
study, while John and Sinfire sauntered
slowly across the lawn together ex-
pected it would have been all settled by
the time they reached the house. but at
breakfast, half an hour later, Johns face
proclaimed more loudly than even his
sturdy tongue could have done that the
engagement was still in the future. Men
tally as we'll as physically he was much
depressed. Sinfre. who was still in her
Mephistophelian riding habit, was being
tenderly scolded by mother for having
exposed herself to such danger, and she
seemed to be in high spirits and laughed
and talked with freedom and brilliance
that she had never exhibited before. AS
looked and listened could forgive poor
John for his infatuation. could almost
have fallen in love with the superb young
creature myself And yet, Strange to
say, | never distrusted her so much as
did then. She Is hiding some secret, and
1t concerns us.
But what a range and scope she has.
There was an oriental quality in her face
at that moment which struck me for the
first time. could imagine that the
young Cleopatra might have looked as
Sinfre did then. But Cleopatra never
looked like cold. subdued English girl,
yet that is one of Sinfire's phases. !
wonder whether she is ambitious; won
der whether she hates anybody. and. If

II is time to give Saprani bowl of
milk. Saprani is another superb crea-
ture, more trustworthy than my cousin
Sinfire. not less oriental and not perhaps
more deadly. And Saprani is very foa
of the youngest and most insignificant OF
the Mainwaring family. Reason and
gratitude unite therefore in prompting
me to bestow upon her my budding af-
fections. and since | am sure not to be
interfered with by rivals the course OF
our true love has every prospect of run
ming smooth. will serenade her ON the
toumril tonight.
