Brett declined the invitation,
pleading certain amount of work to
be done before he retired to rest. and
his expectation OF finding letters or
kilograms at the hotel.
They walked more rapidly up the
avenue, and the barrister noted the
graceful ease of Margaret's move
ments.

MARGARET SPEAKS OFT.

During the drive the presence Of
servants rendered conversation i'm
possible on the one topic that en-
crossed their thoughts.
The barrister. therefore. had an

Once he amused the ladies greatly
by a trivial instance of his faculty
for deducing a definite fact from
seemingly inadequate signs.
He was sitting with his back to
the horses. They passed field in
which some people were working
Neither of the women paid attention
to the scene. Brett, from mere force
of habit. took in all details.
A little farther on he said: Are
we approaching village?"
Yes" answered Miss Layton, "a
small place named Ncedham.'
Then it will not surprise me If,
during the next two minutes. we
meet horse and cart with a load OF
potatoes The driver is a young
man In his shirt sleeves Sitting by
his side is a brown-eyed maid in
poke bonnet. Probably his left arm
follows the line Of her apron string"
His hearers could not help being
surprised by this prediction. Helen
leaned over the side and looked
ahead.

The carriage sped swiftly along,
Helen craned her head to catch the
first glimpse of the yot hidden
stretch of road beyond the turning
Good gracious!" she cried sud
denly.
Even Margaret was stimulated to
curiosity. She bent over the oppo-
site side.
Brett sat unmoved. anything in
front being, of course, quite Invisible
to him. On the box the coachman
nudged the footman, as n to say:

girl has brown eyes! Mr.. Brett, do
toll US how you did IT,"
II will" he replied gaily. Those
laborers in field half n mile away
were digging potatoes. Among the
women was girl who was gazing
nn1iously in this direction, and who
resumed work in a very bad tenn
per when another woman spoke to
her In chatting way. The gate was
open, and there were fresh wheel
tracks in this direction. The men
were all coatless. so | argued a
young man driving and girl by his
side, hence the annoyance OF tho
watcher in the field, owing particu-
larry to the position OF his arm. The
presence on the road of several po-
tatoes. with the earth still damp on
them, added certainty to my con-
victions. 1t is very easy. you see."
Yes. but how about the color OF
the girls eyes?'
That was hazardous. to an ex-

deductions he remained silent on the
topic.
He tried to lead the conversat ton to

Layton's natural desire not to en-
barrass her friend.
