WFaCnIully, to himself. These Eng
lish are like serpents; they are so cold
OF blood. Eth, well; we shall see what
the comradeship of sport together will
do, and. after that the after-dinner
talking: He will give me what I want
before am done with him; I am not
going to be foiled." r +:
: All at once he saw the man by his
SIDE flush family under the lingering
brown OF last summers sun and wind
His eyes lit up with quick light, the
light that, seen in the eyes of man or
woman, means but one thing It is
the light that, once seen, is never, for
gotten, never mistaken while life>lasts.
The baron turned his head rapidly to
see what brought it to the look OF the
man he had set himself to bctray, and
he had not far to seek for it. Through
the little wood they had just entered a
girl was coming down a side path to a
gate.
She was in short skirt and CATERS,
and she had some soft fur about her
throat that made her fair beauty even:
fairer to the sight. She was followed
by an elderly gentleman with cloth
cap well over his eyes. At sight of the
dog cart and it's occupants she waved
a say hand, and the admiral saluted.
Wlnstanley checked his horse with a
swift hand. There you are!" called
out the admiral-so self-evident a re-
mark that no one contradicted it.
We've come to meet you, you see.
Nothing like punctuality"
Winstanley was out of the cart and
at the side Of Miss Hamilton before
the baron could uncoil himself from
the rug. ''This is capital" he said,
with an appreciative eye on her cos
tune. "You are coming with us, I
hope?"
II am going to walk with you to the
brentwood, and then I am to go home,
out of mischief" she said, with a
laugh. Those are my directions, and
I mustn't disobcy them, under fear of
being put in irons. What is the mis-
chief you are all going to engage in
particularly that am not allowed to
join? think it rather hard on me to
be sent back out of it If it is going to
be fun"
ASK to come with us; I'll look after
you. You shall walk with me, and
bring me luck, it you will :, .
sss She SheTshook lsh her head with asaaugh,
and glanced over her shoulder Ut the
admiral. There's no disobeying or
ders," she said. II might come If I
shot, though it would be under protest.
But I don't shoot should hate to
kill anything."
"I'm glad you don't Shoot said
Winstanley, gravely. It was not alone
the recollection of past shoots in which
he had shared with sportswomen and
suffered for his sins. 1t was the feel
ing that she was as different from the
modern funtress of fur and feathers
as the stal is from the stable lanterns
glow. He would have lost his high
ideal of her if he had seen her wing a
partridge or give a wounded hare it's
death blow.
"You are coming in for lunch" she
went on. II will tell you your exact
program. Once settled it is not to be
departed from, and we settled it all at
breakfast. You will shoot the rabbit
wood and the farther meadows first;
then you will come in to lunch precise
ly at half-past one. After lunch you
shoot the rest of the ground and land
close to the house again in time for
tea"
"And where are you to- be mean
while?''
Il? Oh, I shall be amusing myself
indoors and roasting chestnuts by the
drawing room fire till you all come in
to eat them'
