Eyes, but I-come into the tower" "
he said drawing her back through the
window into the room. How her eyes
cleaned in the moonlight! What
depths were there, what unfathomable
mysteries lurked within their shadows!
He had never seen them so before.
They startled him-those eyes so soft
ly tender, so deeply blue. And the ex-
quisite pallor Of that face framed in
the misty blackness Of her floating
hair-the girl was beautiful.
Following him into the chamber she
stopped unconsciously where the moon
light streamed in through the window.
For the first time he noticed what she
wore in the bright illumination. Ap-
parently she was clad in her night
dress with a loose wrapper hastily
thrown about her shoulders; her little
bare feet cleaned like marble on the
stone floor. One hand hung by her
side, with the other she instinctively
gathered the wrapper across her breast
with a movement at once modest yet
charming.
"Why, you are in your night-robe!"
he exclaimed in astonishment, but not
raising his voice for fear Of attracting
attention. "Your feet are bare and on
these damp stones! You'll catch your
death of cold! My dear child"

The Countess Anne leaned out
across the coping of the balcony, and
looked down. 1t was indeed a giddy
height. Her brain reeled as she gazed.
She would like very much to put Sir
Philip to the test, but in the end she
decided not. He might be killed, and

that would be bitter end to their
little play. She recalled that Mon
sieur de Croisic had been thrown down
there after he had been caught in the
tower. The height was appalling. She
was too fond Of Sir Philip. So she
temporized. She was woman enough
for that, he thought. Indeed, he real
ICED that she had developed marvel
ously in the month he had been with
her. She seemed years away from
coils now. He wondered why.
Not to-day, Sir Philip; some other
time, perhaps, but not now," she an
swered him at last.
"As you will, Mistress Anne" he
replied indifferently, and then as a
thought struck him he questioned
her: "Why is this place not guarded,
or the wall smoothed, so that no one
could climb up again?"
Il suppose it was guarded once. AS
for the wall, the story read said that
the lords of the tower left it just as
it was, for they thought that the les
son they had given poor de Croisic
ould keep everybody away. Would
l. keep you away?"
mot If you were here waiting for
me, Lady Anne. But why is it not
guarded now?" he persisted.
81 can not tell. Nobody knows this
story except myself and Josette to
whom told it, l suppose. I read 1t
the other day in some old papers l
found in the library room. doubt
il even grandfather remembers it or
he would lock up the room. Besides,
what need? There is no one who can
make use of it now." she answered
ertlessly.
But it came into Grafton's mind that
II it were difficult to climb up to that
balcony window, it would be less diff
cult to climb down from it, and the
idea of escaping sprang into his head.
Indeed, it had often been with him,
but he had seen no way whatever to
bring 1t about until that afternoon
that very moment in the oriel Of that

Beyond the rocky edges of the shore
