were raised to enormous prices. Cyril
realized when the excitement was
highest and returned to England mil

OF course, people made a fuss over
him, for he was young, good-looktng,
immensely wealthy and an Engllshman
strangely enough.
But Cyril was not a happy man.
The bracelet still weighed on his CON
science. 1t was to try and find it's
owner that he accepted the invitation
which society pressed upon him. For
whole season he searched for her,
but without success. He got tired Of
the alteration which was flung at him
or rather his millions; so he, one

went into the country.
His destination was quiet little inn
near Dartmoor, which he had known
in the days of his youth.

she was fishing.
She approached him at once.
"Can you lend me a black gnat?
she asked him In sweet voice that
thrilled him.
With trembling fingers he produced
the fly.
Cyril was not in the mood to make
haste slowly. They met again, and he
f1attered himself she was pleased to see
him
Next he wrote to the earl and asked
permission to inspect the famous pic
lures (they were hearlooms and could
not be sold at the castle.
He CHANGED to be walking through
the grounds Of the castle after seeing
the pictures. He took seat at. the
foot Of a bowlder, and was startled to
hear two voices speaking.
One was Lady Alicia's, the other that
of a man.

"You don't love me, Alicia"
