 figure was that of Reginald Mansfield. The two had stopped now. Their backs
 were turned. But. sharpened to abnormal
 acuteness, Herbert's senses could divine.
 as it were, their mental attitude at tna
 moment betrayed in tho pose of the
 vague. dark silhouettes. Lena, her head
 bent away from her companion. seemed to be looking out to sea, and. as Herbert advanced rapidly nearer, something list less, deiectcd, became moro clear in the
 droop of her shoulders. BHt Reginald Mansfield looked not at
 the sea, but at her. He stood near her, so near that his hand could touch her el- | bow.
 The blood surged up fin Herbcrt's heart, and at that instant tho two faced aboul to retracc their steps and saw him ad- va0clng.
 Lena was tho first to speak She had turned from white to red and haek to white. X suppressed trembling had seized her, But her voice was clear and stcady "lIcrhort, dear, You here?

 Calmly he met the glance of Herbert Lat;ner's eyes.
 But Mrs. Latimer. laughing nervouslr, had touched her husbands sleeve. She turned her glance tn Reginald Mansfield, aud there was something like wild. re- pressed appeal in It. Did lie read It's meaning alright? He took off his hat.
 Will you permit me to withdraw. Mrs. Iatimer? I am sure that after your sep aratiOn your husbands cOmpanionship must be the only one acceptable"
 He nodded to Herbert. but received no look from the latter in return.
 The next instant husband and wife were alone. and then the floodgates of Herbert Iatimcrs jealous rage and indignation were opened.
 Lena stood silent, with downcast eyes. as the hot words poured over her.

 E An hour later. at the Savoy, he met his old college chum, Reginald Mansfield. to whom he related his trouble, and asked his advice.

 This seemed sensible advice. and in less than q week Herbert Latimer had gone to Scarborough. He had gone without leaving his address with his friend, Reginald Mansfield, and the latter was on his way Tom the club to Latlncrs house to ob- tain jt.
