ception rooms.
When they entered the larger OF the
two rooms Lady Bramfell was still
receiving her guests. She vas II tai!
AMI angular woman who, except for Il
certain beauty OF hands and feet and
q certain similarity of voice, possessed
nothing in common with her sister Lii
liam. She was speaking TO a group OF
people as they approached, and the
first sound of her sweet n rather
drawing tones touched Lodcr with a
curious momentary f%celing-a vague
suggestion Of awakened memories.
Then the suggestion vanished as she
turned and greeted Eve.
How sweet of you TO conner she
murmured. And it seemed to Loder
that IA more spontaneous smile lighted
up her face. Then she extended her
hand to him. "And you, too!' she add
ed. Though | fear we shall bore you
~drcadfully."
Watching her with interest, he saw
the change Of expression as her eyes
turned from Eve TO him and noticed q
colder tone in her voice as she address
ed him directly. The observation o

That's a poor compliment to me-"
he said. ITO Ne bored Is surely only II

Lady Bramfell smiled. "What!' she

Loder laughed a little. 'The smaller

replied.
Another stream of arrivals swept by

and he perforce followed. AS he gain
ed her side the little court about Lady
Bramfell was left well In the rear, the
great throng at the farther end of the
room was not yet reached, and for the
moment they were practically alone.
There was q certain uneasiness in
that moment of companionshlp. 1t
seemed to him that Eve wished to
speak, but hesitated. Once or twice
she opened and closed the fan that she
was carrying, then at last, as II by an
effort, she turned and looked at him.

bearing as he made his way toward
them.
"By Jove." said Blessington again.
Il never realized that Chilcote was so
tall"
Again Eve said nothing. But silently
and with a more subtle meaning she
found herself echOing the words
Until he was quite close to her Loder

stopped quietly.

"Hc wants me to dine with him II
night at Cadogan Gardens"
But Eve was silent. waiting for him
to address B~lessington. She glanced
at him quickly, but though their eyes
met he did not catch the meaning that
lay in hers. 1t was II difficult moment.
She had known him incredibly, almost
unpardonably absentminded, but it had
invariably been when he was suf-
fering from nerves, as h phrased 1t
to herself. But tonight he was OBJ
viously in the possession of unclouded
faculties. She colored slightly and
glanced under her lashcs at Blessing
ton. Had the same idea struck him,
she wondered? But he was studiously
studying a suit Of Chinese armor that
stood close by in II niche of the wall.
"Bobby has been keeping me amused
while you talked to Mr.. Lakeley," she
said pointedly.
Directly addressed, Loder turned and
looked at Blessington. How d'you
do?" he said, with doubtful cordiality.
The name of Bobby conveyed nothing
to him.
To his surprise Eve looked annoyed
and B~lessington's fresh colored face
deepened In tone. With Il slow, uncom-
for table sensation he was aware Of
having struck a wrong note.
There was a short, unpleasant pause.
Then. more by intuition than actual
sight, Blessington saw Ewes eyes turn
from him to Loder, and with quick
tact he saved the situation.
"How d'you do. STRIP he responded,
with a smile. II congratulate you On

fast and without much meaning, but
his boyish voice eased the strain.
Eve thanked him with a smile.
"Then we mustn't interfere with a

surprise.
Slight nv the triumph was, 1t thrilled
him. The small scene with Chilcote's
valet came back to him; his own per-
sonality moved him again to a reck-
less determination to make his own
voice heard. Leaning forward, he laid
his hand lightly on her arm.

Loder felt this, but the gist OF a re-

that II was Blessington whom he had

he opened his eyes there was death

living curled up on the floor.
The hoarse gentleman was down on
one knee beside Mr.. Maggs with
watch in one hand, and was counting
laboriously; he reached a number, and
nausea. and still Mr.. Maggs did not
rise.
Then the whole place seemed to
break loose, and men came scrambiing
over the ropes and insisted on shaking
hands with Archibald-one or two, in
fact, almost embracing him in their
fervor. Finally Maggs was carried
away, and Archibald, more dead than
alive, was hurried into his dressing.

The two young men insisted on car
rying him off, then and there, to Barn
End, and there they lent him a more
becoming costume than that in which
he was arrayed.
The story leaked out. Mr.. George

With these words, Mr.. Timbury care

pocket-book, containing the notes
which he had received in such an
extraordinary way.
But surely, Mr.. Timbury, you don't
earn your living in this way?" asked
Mr.. George Bowman aghast, as he ex-
amined the notes.
"Oh, dear no. said Archibald, with
a smile: II only do that sort of
thing when I'm short of pocket

The speech was cut short by an ap-
palling cry. It came from an excited
man, who rushed in, painting, and
calculated one word
''Police!"

/ every one else. Lights We're hurried
" put out; and. amid the blowing Of
whistles and the running of feet, and
the overturning of seats and boxes,
Mr.. Archibald Timbury found himself
/ alone in the darkness. Realizing he
was in very real danger, he hurriedly
! struggled into his overcoat. on which
he happened to be sitting and which
was the only garment he could find,
and stil grasping the small leather
pocketbook which had been put in his
! hands, dashed out into the night.
He ran quite a couple of miles. and
| then, painting and exhausted, sank
| down on a bank by the roadside and

| Meanwhile, in the home of Mr..

afoot Mr.. George Bowman had a son,
an only son, of some twenty years of
age, with sporting instincts. How he

at the barn does not matter, but hear

element Mr.. Jack Bowman prepared
to attend that little mill in which
Archibald Timbury was to be SO IN
timately concerned.
Jack had a friend staying with him.
| Breathlessly he impaired to this
friend-a certain Mr.. Clement Hatton
the news; secretly they set out to
see the fun.
Paying literally, they got in, and
waited impatiently for the man who
was to be matched against Mr.. Maggs.
With his entrance, Jack Bowman laid
friend, and gasped:
"Heavensi it's old Timbury.''
There was no time to say more. AS
has already been recorded, Mr.. Tim
bury had to get to work rather hur-
riedly, and the fight was over in a
matter of seconds. Then that alarm
ing cry, and Jack Bowman and his
friend scrambled out into the dark
ness with the other fugitives. Going
across country by leaps and bounds,
they came to the very spot where sat
Archibald Timbury.
Mr.. Timbury was half asleep. Add
ed to that, he was very wet, for it
had begun to rain, and very cold and
hungry.

claimed Jack.
Don't mention it," said Mr.. Tim
bury sleepily. It'll be jolly glad to
forget it,
Finest thing I ever saw" said Mr..
Clement Hatton admiringly. "Only
one blow, you know. It was wonder
full. Why didn't you play with him a
bit, and give US something for our
money?"
"Play with him. exclaimed Archi-
bald wildly. "He played with me. I've
never had such a riotous game in all
my life. I hope he'll recover"

Jack. "Saw it all from the beginning.

toward the door which communicated
with the barn.
The door was opened, and Archibald
Tfrnbury, propelled suddenly from be-
hind, was shot into the barn amid
yell of applause. He saw before nm
small square space, neatly roped on
and well sanded; while all round, RS
ing tier upon tier, was a great sea
of faces, and-worst sight Of all-in
one corner Of the improvised ring
sat a. man Of most villainous aspect.
1t became evident at once that the
term Beauty had been bestowed up
on Mr.. Maggs somewhat sarcastically.
In face. he would have matched the
gentleman of the damaged features
who had so unfortunately lost his
train;-in figure he was Of the small
bulldog order-bowed as to the legs
and with his bullet head set well down
between his shoulders.
He rose from his seat, as Mr.. Archi-
bald Tin:bury, assisted by a dozen
willing hands, was pushed under the
ropes, and faced him, and he grinned
knowingly as he noted Archibald's
SPARE figure, on which even the scant
blue knickerbockers hung loosely.
The hoarse gentleman dived under
the ropes. and, removing his brown
hat, explained to the waiting crowd
what was to happen. In a few words
he summed up the facts; namely, that
the great lightweight from the north
of England was now before them, TO
meet an equally celebrated man, whose
fame. though local, had already spread
abroad.
Archibald had fully made up his
mind to address the crowd and ex-
plain matters; but they were growing
impatient. The gentleman with the
hoarse voice had been interrupted
more than once by earnest entreaties
to "cut the cackle and get on to BUSH
ness" More than that, before Mr..
Timbury quite knew what was hap
pening. Beauty Maggs had advanced
toward him, and was solemnly shaking
hands
I'm sorry fer yer. young man. said
Mr.. Maggs in a whisper; and, even
as he said it and stepped back, some
thing seemed to shoot out of him with
a large hand at the end of it, and
that something struck Mr.. Timbury
smartly twice on the cheek.
IF you do that again. said Archi-
bald, with what severity he could
muster. after bringing himself up with
a stagger against the ropes. 81 shall
