told me yesterday that he was going
back TO New York befo' long"
Ludlow took this as n confession of
his suspicion, and answered, accord
ingly: "Yes; he's quite anxious to get
back to his work"
Here the matter rested, and the three
people who knew of Ringbrand's dis
appearance held widely different views
as TO its motive. Mrs. Ludlow, finding
the packed valises in the guests room,
reluctantly gave place TO the carefully
insinuated suggestion of her husband
that the young man had fled because
Hester had refused him; Ludlow, some
what better informed, was quite sure
that the unceremOnious departure was
due to Ringbrand's failure to win in the
battle with his weakness; while the
colonel went home with a slightly-con-
fused idea of the unaccountability of
authors and story writers, whose
vagaries led them to refuse the hospi-
talities of a comfortable mansion for
the sake of spending the night in wan
dering about on the mountain. 1mpart-
ing his convictions TO Hester, together
with the information that Ringbrani
had not returned to Tregarthen, he
awakened an emotion in the heart of
that ingenious young woman which
had slept quite peacefully through the
unobtrusive wooing of her lover; and
her quick intuition, finding a better
trajectory than the logic of the others,
went nearer the mark, filling her with
vague apprehensions for Ringbrand's
safety. She Immediately recalled the
conversation of the previous evening.
remembering his abstraction and the
abrupt leave-taling. Then she recol
lected that Henry had been the last one
who had seen him, and she quickly OBJ
tanned all the information that could be
CLEANED from that source. II contained
n grain of comfort in the assurance that
he was not unarmed; but she could not
help thinking that the mere possession
of the revolver promised little for his
safety.
The following morning she mounted
Pluto and rode straight TO Mrs. Lud-
lows, in the hope of finding that her I'M
defined premonition of trouble was
groundless; but there had been no word
from the missing guest, and the small
matchmaker made an unsuccessful at
TENT to conceal her resentment toward
the girl who had so ruthlessly demol-

need of troubled lovers at the hands of

the door. The bed had not been occu-
pied, and il flashed upon him that Ring
brand had suddenly acted upon the hint
that he might find it impossible to en-
dure the ordeal of a formal leave-tak-
ing. Ludlow went downstairs, trying
to think of some way of telling his wife
without rejecting too severely upon his
friends lack of courage.
"You said Ringbrand went up with
the colonel yesterday, didn't you?" he
asked, hoping TO gain time.
"Why, yes; they drove off together
