looked thoughtfully toward the fire.
"But, to come to the point of the

come to my rescue on the night of the

added in another and more reproa chful
tone.
He leaned forward. you're wrong

She glanced at him again. His tone
seassured her, but his words left her
uncertain. Chilcote was rarely en-
phatic. With a touch of hesitation she
went on with her tale:
GAS I told you, he was the first to
find us-to find me, should say, for
my stupid maid was having Mysteries

lost. I remember the first thing I did
was TO send him in search of 10 Ko'-

She also smiled involuntarily. "Poor

all done the dog was quite unhurt and

10 10 was dear, but his teeth and
his temper were both very sharp" She
laughed once more in soft amusement.
Loder was silent for a second, then he
too aughed-Chilcote's short, sarcastic
laugh. ''And you tied up the wound, I
suppose?"
She glanced up, half displeased. 1--WE
We're both staying at the little inn,"
she said, as though no further explana-
ton could be needed Then again her
manner changed. She moved imper-
ceptibly nearer and touched his right
hand. His left, which was farther
away from her, was we'll in the shad-
ow Of the cushions.
"Jack," she said caressingly, lit isn't

I've brought you here. It's really to
tell you a sort Of sequel" She stroked
his hand gently once or twice. GAS l

she looked up. 'He has stayed because

*.3ut to come to the end Of the story.
I never saw this man since that long
ago time until-until the night of
Blanche's party!' She spoke slowly, to
give full effect to her words. Then she
waited for his surprise.
But the result was not what she ex-
pected. He said nothing, and, with an
abrupt movement, he drew his hand
from between hers.
"Aren't you surprised?" she asked at
last, with a delicate note of reproof.
He started slightly, as if recalled to
the necessity Of the moment. "Sur-
prlsed?" he said. "Why should I be
surprised? One person more or less at
big party isn't astonishing. Besides,
you expect man to turn up sooner or
later in his own country. Why should
be surprised?"
She lay back luxuriously. Because,

mystery! It's one Of those fascinating
mysteries that come once in a life
time.''
Loder made no movement. "You
must EXPLAIN" he said very quietly.
Lillian smiled. '"That's just what I
want to do. When I was in my tent

the door behind him Loder paced the
room with feverish activity. In one
moment the aspect Of life had been
changed. Five minutes since he had
been glorying in the risk of a barely
saved situation; now that situation
with Its merely social complications
had become matter Of small impor-
lance.
His long, striding steps had carried
him to the fireplace, and his back was
toward the door when at last the
handle turned. He wheeled round to
receive Ewes message, then a look of
pleased surprise crossed his face.
1t was Eve herself who stood in the
doorway.
Without hesitation his lips parted.
"Eve," he said abruptly, II have had
great news! Russia has shown her
teeth at last. Two caravans belong

The affair occurred couple Of miles
outside Meshed. The traders remon-
strated, but the Russians made sum-
mary use Of their advantage. Two
Englishmen were wounded and one Of
them has since died. Fraide has only
how received the news, which cannot
be overrated. It gives the precise lever
necessary for the big move at the re-
assembling" He spoke with great ear
nestness and unusual haste. As he
finished he took a step forward. "But
that's not ALP he added. "Fraide
wants the great move set in motion by
great speech, and he has asked me
to make it,
For moment Eve waited. She look
ed at him in silence, and in that silence
he read in her eyes the reflection Of
his own expression.
"And your she asked in suppress
ed voice. what answer did you
give?"
He watched her for an instant, tax
ing strange pleasure in her flushed
face and brilliantly eager eyes; then
the joy of conscious strength, the sense
of opportunity regained, swept all 9TH
er considerations out of sight.
II accepted" he said quickly. "Could
any man who was merely human have

with fresh touch Of excitement.
"Take off your rings and let me see

With deliberate gesture Loder put

another smile.

'Why?"
Before replying he waited a moment,
looking down at her.
! Il conclude" he began quietly, "that
your idea is to spread this wild, i'm

that John Chilcote, whom they see be-
fore them, is not John Chilcote, but
somebody else. Now, you'll find that a
harder task than you imagine. This is

surdly fond Of their own eyesight. We
are all Journalists nowadays-we all
want facts. The first thing you will be
asked for is your proof. And what does
your proof consist of? The circum-
stance that John Chilcote, who has al
ways despised jewelry, has lately taken
to wearing rings! Your own testimony,

might be Chilcote's, but the present

cued from catastrophe. "No," he said
again. "When you get your proof per-

"Till then"' She looked up quickly,
but almost at once her question died
away.

opening.

CHAPTER XIII.

4 1ND LOucf ulueu WIFI Lll1ldu
IA Astrupp. We live in an age
I'M when society expects, even ex-
81 acts, much. He dined, not
through bravado and not through cow
ardice, but because it seemed the OBJ
vious, the only thing to do. To him a
scene Of any description was distaste-
full. To Lillian it was unknown. In
her world people loved or hated, were
spiteful or foolish, were even quixotic
or dishonorable, but they seldom made
scenes. Loder tacitly saw and tacitly
accepted this.
Possibly they ate extremely little
during the course of the dinner and
talked extraordinarily much on SUBJ
jects that interested NEITHER but the
main point at least was gained. They
dined. The conventionalities were ap-
peased. The silent, watchful servants
who waited on them were given no
food for comment. The fact that Lo-
der left Immediately after dinner, the
fact that he paused on the doorstep
after the hall door had closed behind
him and drew a long, deep breath of
relief, held only an individual signifi-
canoe and therefore did not count.
On reaching Chilcote's house he pass
ed at once to the study and dismissed
Greening for the night But scarcely
had he taken advantage of his solitude
by settling into an armchair and light
ing a cigar than Renwick, displaying
an unusual amount Of haste and i'm
portance, entered the room, carrying a
letter.
Seeing Loder, he came forward at
once. 'Mr. Fraide's man brought this,
SIR" he explained. Gle was most par
ticular to give it into my hands, max
ing sure 'twould reach you. He's wait
Ing for an answer, sir"
LOder rose and took the letter, a
quick thrill Of speculation and interest
springing across his mind. During his
time Of Punishment he had followed
the political situation with feverish at
tention, unexpectedly chafed by the
desire to share in it, apprehensively
chilled at the thought Of Chilcotes pos
sible behavior. He knew that in the
comparatively short interval since par
lament had risen no act Of aggression
had marked the Russian occupation Of
Meshed, but he also knew that Fraide
and his followers looked askance at
that great powers amiable attitude,
and at sight Of his leaders message his
intuition stirred.
Turning to the nearest lamp, he tore
the envelope open and scanned the let
ter anxiously. It was written in
Fraide's own clear, somewhat old fash
toned writing and opened with a kind
" rebuke for his desertion of him since
the day of his speech; then Immediate
" and with characteristic clearness it
opened up the subject nearest the writ
er's mind.
Very slowly and attentively Loder
read the letter, and, with the extreme
quiet that with him invariably covered
emotion, he moved to the desk, wrote
a note and handed it to the waiting
servant. AS the man turned toward
the door he called him.
"Renwick," he said sharply, when
you've given that letter to Mr.. Fraide's
servant ask Mrs. Chilcote If she can
spare me five minutes"

One Of the great uses Of living trees is
