suggestions. were negatiyed. She did
not walk or golf or play croquet. Du-
yerney was puzzled, and his bewil-
derment was deepened when, on aris-
ing unusually early a morning or two
later, he caught from his window
glimpse of the girl coming briskly
down the woodland path. She did care
for exercise sometimes, then. Was it
that she did not wish to be alone with
him? lie would try to discover Ac-
eordingly at breakfast he suggested a
ride on horseback. The girl hesitated,
then yielded. As she ran to change
into her riding habit the man smiled
little to himself. At last lie must see
her feet, but as she put forth her foot
for him to mount her he started and
almost broke his guard. Instead of the
small patent leather boot he had ex-
pected, on his hand rested Il shoe, well
enough made indeed, but clumsy and
enormous. Duverney bit his lip.

brave it out. But Duverney was silent.
As she dressed for dinner that night
the girl was conscious of a vague dis
satisfacti After all, she need not
have worn quite such awful boots. She
hurried into her prettiest frock and
daintiest slippers. The hall was quite
empty save for Duverney, who came
forward, his pocket bulging oddly.

"What?" gasped Miss Henderson, in
whose mobile face varying emotions
were contending. "Clothilde gave it to

verney bent closer.
"She did tell you other things, then"
he asserted eagerly. What, tell me

screen. Miss Henderson hesitated. I'm

need watching pretty close to prevent
them from putting a lot of useless leg

years ago, which required the town.

so apparent when it was undertaken
to put it into practice that everybody
