An hour or so later a nurse was
established in the sick room. There
was nothing for it but to make the
best Of the extraordinary situation
and remain where they were and
explain as well as they could to the
servants when they came back in
the morning.
Vera flung herself down upon a
couch in the drawing room and
closed her eyes. When she came to
herself again the sunshine was
streaming into the room. On the
lawn Ravenspur was walking up
and down in grave consultation
with Venables. Presently Vera saw
Walter join the group. He looked
dreadfully white and haggard. A
thrill of thankfulness passed over
her. She had never expected to see
him walk again.
81 am glad to see you looking
none the worse for your adventure,
Ravenspur said when Vera Joined

the servants that Our appearance
here is quite natural. Still they are
wondering where the mistress OF
the house is, SO that there is nc
help for it, and we must have your

Walter murmured something in
reply. Then his face frightened.
You are quite right, uncle" he
said. 1T is absolutely necessary
that the Countess Flavio should be
here at once. We can get her ad-
dress from Mrs. Delahay. If you
like I will go up myself.
Do you feel equal to it?" Vera
asked anxiously
"Oh, I'm all right now" Walter
replied.
''Then we will have some break
fast and get up to London at once,
Venables said, in his quick, decisive
fashion.

Colonel ]. M. Ingersoll of Pocatello,
Idaho, who is devoting his lifetime to
the same public work as George j. Kin
del of Denver, was in Denver yester-
day, the guest of the champion of low
