sions, Bloomsbury, and wondered how
she should pass the day.
The rehearsals for the new musical
comedy at the Pandora, which had
been in progress for some weeks,
were suspended for few days. The
manager had suddenly decided that
the second act wanted rewriting, and
that three of the songs I'm it were not
up to Pandora form.
So the author of the book, the writ
er of the lyrics, and the composer
had gone to work again after little
display of temper, and the stage man.
ager had decided that it was useless
to go on rehearsing till he knew
"where the fresh stuff was coming in,"
and the green board just inside the
stage door entrance was temporarily
innocent of calls
Claire Barton was glad to have
plenty of time to lie in bed in the
morning, plenty of time to dawdle over
over late breakfast and look at the
Strand and the Era instead of having
to rush off to the theater at the "un-
earthly hour of eleven.
But she was just a little anxious,
for in the new piece she was to have
a part real part, not line here
and there spoken from the ranks Of
the chorus; and she wondered how
much of it would be chopped out" in
the reconstruction of the new and
original play which was presently to
take the place of the year-old success.
in which she had nothing to do but
look handsome in beautiful clothes
and say "Rather!" at the same time
as three other young ladies in a scene
in which the principal low comedian
gagged with snch exuberant variety

young ladies an an opportunity of
speaking the one word allotted to
them.

''You have guessed my secret?" he
said.
Long ago. I've seen a good deal Of
that sort Of thing, you know, Mr.. Al
lister, and IL went through It my.
self once. Poor Cheney! he was In
love with me for whole year before
he told me, but knew 1t all the time"
"And you think that I'm In love with
Miss Wilson,"
''Of course I do; and please forgive
me for being an interfering woman
but told her So"
"And what did she say?" exclaimed
Frank, eagerly.
"She said, oh, nonsense!' Girls al.
ways say that at first, you know, to
third party. But I'm sure she's looked
pale and queer, and her supper's come
down untasted, and it's my belief that
it's wondering If it's true that is the
matter with her."
1T is true!" exclaimed Frank, i'm.
petuously.
"Then, my dear boy-forgive me for
calling you that, but I'm old enough to
be your mother-tell her so yourself"
II will"
"When?"
"This evening""
The key turned in the back door,
and TUNA came bustling in with her
marketing basket on her arm.
ooh, NUM-" she exclaimed, 'I've
just met my young man. He's on the
10 o'clock beat first time in silent
shoes, and please may I go out then
and hear him walk about in 'em?"
Frank Allister not wishing to re-
main to interrupt the love condolences
of 'Tunia, gave Mrs. Cheney a reas-
surfing smile and went back to his own
room to think out the little speech in
which he was to tell May Wilson that
he loved her with all his heart and
wanted her to be his wife.

CHAPTER XII.
Mrs. Cheney's Idea.

From the moment that May Wilson
read of her husbands escape from
Dartmoor she became changed wo-
man.
Swiftly, suddenly, two terrors had
como into her life. One was the dis.
ccYery that the idea of Frank Allister
loving another woman had caused her
pang of jealousy. The other was
the fear that John Wilson might make
lis way to Remington in search of
Ee:, and that she might in some way
Ee the means Of leading to his capture.
She did not deceive herself as to
the strength of her husbands affection
for her. Possessed of means. she
knew that the length of his separation
frcm her would not trouble him. But
lis present position was desperate
ore He could go to no other friends
or acquaintances. His only chance of
help was from one with whom his
secret would be absolutely safe.
He would do his best. therefore, to
make his way to his wife; not for
shelter-that he would not dare to &C.
cept under the same roof-but for
money-the money that would enable
him to be hidden until pursuit was
slackened. She read the papers Gag.

company streamed out of the fashion

The young guardsman told his
chauffeur to take Claire and her friend
home, and after Sinclair had hidden
Claire Barton farewell and begged hef
not to forget him the two friends
strolled away together.

said Jack Forester, as they walked
