My place is very quiet" responded
Neneto; there he will be far from

darkness of the prison is still binding
him, but in a little while he will begin

of a man expecting a hearty welcome.
Nor was he disappointed. for his aunt
warmly expressed her gratitude to him

AS she said this both Max and Dun

he probably owed his liberty to Geof-
frey Bysshe. could not at the moment
forgive him for daring tic lose his
heart to her.
1T is not every day a man has such
a reward for simply doing his duty"

readily agreeing with him: but that's
where you lawyers get the pull over
other men,"
Godfrey Bysshe laughed at the jeal-
ousy recognizable in every word. Wait

replied, land you will see how CRATE

the knowledge that it carried him

hateful scenes through which he had
passed. .
1t was late at night when the fly they
had taken from Barnet station turned
down the narrow road leading to Had
ley Common.
When Dunstan got out at The hall
door he staggered. and was kept from
falling on his host. who assisted him
into the hall. looking shrewdly into the
young mans face, which was deadly
white. while his eyes blazed.

Veneto said. assisting him to a chair,
"but we will have supper presently.
Meanwhile Roma will bring us some

Yes. let US have wine; it is the color
Of blood; we will drink and be merry,
like that night long ago-the night he
died. Blood, blood, blood! it's every

"Hish," Veneto said. looking at him
with eyes full of horror and alarm.
II know, I know, but we will drink it,
you and I: but he can drink no more

He rose suddenly. lurched forward
like a drunken man, and struck against
