farther side of the bed. There, on
chairs and on the table, which he had
pushed behind the bed, between it
and the wall, were various articles
of silver, beautiful, rich pieces, some
of which recognized as having seen
in the old days at the Hall, others
with monograms and crests, which
recognized as being those. Of various
!. country families near, though the ar
ticles themselves I had never seen.
1t made a goodly showing, although
the silver was dull and needed silver
polish. Elder Wynne nodded and
tapped the table with his fingers.
"In your own cellar" he said. ut
is strange that the cellar stairs
should descend from Miss Dacres'
room"
"Not at ALL" said angrily.
''There is a gerat deal that 1 cannot
tell you, much that was told me in
confidence, but know exactly how
those things must have got there"
I had the man Haughtry in my mind.
Of course it was he who had stolen
the silver and had forced my boarder
to allow him to deposit it in the eel
lar, but this was bound by my
promise to Amaranthe not to divulge.
"You seem to go about my house,
Elder Wynne, exactly as if you owned
it,"

81 have not seen much of Miss
Dacres lately?" said he.
l thought this an excellent time to
tell him what had been the outcome
of my taking Amaranthe into my
house, so I sat down and told him
the whole story. When l had finished
he exclaimed, Capital! Capital
Nothing could be betterl What q
clever young woman"
And how do you mean she was
clever?" I asked Indignantly. I had
made Amaranthe's cause so much
my own, that I could not bear to
hear word said to her discredit.
why, clever, most clever, to be
thrown from her bicycle exactly in
front of the Hall door, and be taken
in as she was, while she took them
in"
"Took them in" said I angrily.
"She could have walked up there any
day, and with those little portraits
of herself as a child, with the remi-
niscences of her babyhood, with the
letters to her father, with her memo
ries of the place, of the animals, Of
me, to say nothing of Amaranthe's
eyes, and Amaranthe's hair, she
could have got into their hearts just
as completely as she has through her
accident. Your sort of people,
"Gently! gently!" said Elder
Wynne. I now saw that Mr.. Beldon
was standing behind the pillar where
twined the champeny cluster, and as
had not seen him come in or go out,
he had probably been there ever since
took my seat. l started as my eyes
fell upon him.
Don't mind Mr.. Beldon," said Ell
der Wynne, coughing as he spoke
"He has probably enjoyed this story
much more than have" How Elder
Wynne knew Mr.. Beldon was standing
behind him I could not imagine.
"You have neither of you enjoyed
It," said I, nearly crying. "You are
so suspicious, Elder Wynne," its
strange how easily kept forgetting
his double personality-"you see
faults and frailties in every one, and
as for Mr.. Beldon, he has always
hated her.
ST hate Miss Dacres?" said Mr..
Beldon, coming out from behind the
rosebush and up on to the piazza.
1 Eyes, you, Mr.. Beldon. What has
the poor child ever done to you?
Yet from the first you have disliked
her. She was rude to you, know,
but you have been much worse to
her"
"Still, I do not hate your boarder,
Mrs. Brathwaite."
! 81 do not think that Mr.. Beldon
hates Miss Dacres," said Elder
Wynne, taking his side against me.
Mr.. Beldon flung scrutinizing
glance at Elder Wynne.
"And why have you any opinion at
oil on the subject, Elder Wynne?" he
asked.
But Elder Wynne was coughing
and could not answer.
When Mr.. Beldon had mounted his
wheel and ridden off to town, ant
Elder Wynne had ceased coughing
