whOme Uncle John is sO-what shall
call it-wrapped up" Miss Chetwynd
replied. Mr.. ShOne was at the Grange
this morning and put questions to me
which showed plainly that he thought
Everard guilty, and afterward-was it
very wrong. Mr.. PeteTs?-I listened at
the door of the study. They said
dreadful things about you-that you
were an idiot and a bungler, but that
you would have no option but to ar
rest my lover after something they
were going to do today. Then they
all talked at once, and l could make
no more sense Of it,
Hush" I said noticing women COM
ing to their cottage doors to listen.
What is it you wish me to do, Miss
Chetwynd?"
ITO tell me that Radford Shone is
mistaken and that my dear, good
Everard is in no danger of such a
horrible indignity." was the reply.
l cOmforted her as best l could, but
it was not possible for me to give her
any real assurances, much as 1 longed
to do so. we must hope that Mr..
Shone, for all his great reputation, is
not infailible,' / concluded lamely.
l think that she recognized that /
was friendly, if more or less incapable,
for she heard me with several impa-
tient little mods, and held out her hand
abruptly. Go and see Everard Neil -
she said, drawing her veil over the
tear-stained eyes. You won't find
him quite that sort of man, Mr..
Peters" And she whisked round and
was off up the village street before I
had time to tell her that I was then

father and son.

him. The trouble was that the day
was slipping away and the vital link
in the chain, which should give me the
pull over him, was still unfounded.

the village, a pretty, ivy-clad, cottage
residence set back from the road I'M

ShOne seated himself on the table,
one skinny leg curled up and the other
swinging.
THAT is the great fault Of the Off

Your artistic sense, If you ever had
any, is blunted. Your thoughts are
all for the gross materialism Of the
handouts, without needing how to

forward. My father, as you see, has

was singularly like the elder mans.
I'VE have not reached that stage"
I answered dryly THE object of my
call is to ask if Radford Shone has
been here. I thought it likely"
NO; and he had better keep away
if he values his hide" grOwled Neil
the elder, taking upon himself to
reply; and I noticed that he glanced
intuitively at a range of hunting
crops on the wall. AS a player my
self. l recognized the temper of The
futile golfer in Wilson Neil's lack Of
restraint And lack of restraint IS
sometimes useful to men of my pro-
fession-when the lack is on the other
side.
Young Everard checked his irate sire
with a click of the tongue and a frOwn
that did not entirely hide the affec-
ton behind it.

wanted any clubs repaired. We gave
him a couple to mend"
Thank you" 1 replied. THAT was
all 1 wanted to learn" And l made
as though to depart.
Everard Neil accompanied me TO
the door and showed me out, all
stiffly starched till we got to TIL
porch. Then he suddenly thrust out
his hand and a faint smile creased MS
handsome, worried face.
"Good-by. Mr.. Peters" he said. "OT

1T is something to learn that you

severe verdict on this fatuOus remark.
And with incredible swiftness he shift

addressed me impressiyely, the object
lesson which I promised you is COM

never to despise apparently immaterial
things. The knowledge, long since &C
quired, of the way of the little four

ChetWynd. 1t is now 10 o'clock in the

The three moved away, leaving ne

that l could not but believe that by
some marvellous method of deduct II
he had arrived at the same conclusion
as myself, but that, unlike myself, he

it. 1t CALLED me intensely, for my own

not once looked in the direction Of the

interest.
Returning to the village, I spent the
