ithets against its owner.
If the builder had only chosen site
to the north, where the red house
would have been hidden behind the
plantation of oaks and becches, Squire
Turnbull would have good-naturedly
sold him piece of land for a mere
song. But that he should have planted
his ugly, staring, modern villa exactly
in front of the squire's windows, inter
rupting his favoI;te view of the South
Downs and the sea, was an unbearable
piece of impertinence. But this land
to the south did not belong to the
squire, and his rage was Intellectual.
Now, Mabel Turnbull, the squire's
only daughter lovely girl. of 10
was interested in the young doctor, who
was both owner and inhabitant of the
red house. This was not only because
he was handsome and had quickly won
a reputation for cleverness in the neigh
borhood, but because she had once
come upon him in q country lane, and,
unseen herself, she had watched him
bind up the knee of little village girl
who: had fallen and cut herself. He
took the greatest pains over the simple
dressing, using his own handkerchief
as bandage, and when he further COM
forted his little patient with bright
silver sixpence and kiss Mabel Turn
bull came to the conclusion that DIR.
Gerard Massey was man worth know
ing. But she could not bring her ia
Their to her way of thinking. The
red house was an intolerable obstruc-
ton to South Downs and the sea; DR..
Massey owned the red house and lived
in it; therefore DR.. Massey was not to
be tolerated.
It was not often that the two men
encountered each other, and after their
first meeting they passed without no.
tice. On that first occasion DR.. Mas
sey had lifted his hat, but the squire
had deliberately turned his head aside.
and the hint had been taken.
About n month after the doctor had
taken up his abode in the red house
4hex squire strolled down to the south
gate of his grounds ;and went out into
the road:to see his daughter mount her
