"Duncombe." he said, there is a train which leaves Paris for London at 4 o'clock. You must catch tiff you are allowed to. Don't look like that, man. I tell you you've got to do it. If you are in Paris tonight you will be in prison."
 .'For what offense?" Duncombe ask ed.
 "For the murder of Mile. Flossie They are training the witnesses now The whole thing is as easy as A B C.. They can prove you so guilty that not even your best friend would doubt it. Pack your clothes, man, or ring for the valet
 Duncombe hesitated, but he, too, was pale,
 Are you serious, Spencer?' he asked.
 q am so serious" Spencer answered, s4that unless you obey me will not move another finger in this matter. You lose nothing by going. All that a human being can do will do. But you lose your life or at any rate your lib- erty if you stay"
 Duncombe bowed his head to fate.

attended to his duties as host.
 "Can get you anything further, sir?" the man asked.
 "Nothing, thanks" Duncombe an swered. "Tell the servants to go to bed. We will lock up. Say when, An drew"
 Andrew took his glass mechanically. Out in the lane the silence of the sum- mer night was suddenly broken by the regular tread of horses feet and the rumbling of vehicles. Duncombe Hall was built like many of the old fash toned houses in the country, with it's back to the road, and the window at which they were sitting looked out upon it. Duncombe leaned forward in his chair.
 'Visitors by the last train going up to Runton Place." he remarked. Run ton has quite large party for the first. Hello! They're stopping. I'd better go out"
 He rose from his chair. The Omni- bus had stopped in the lane, and they

Very quiet, inoffensive sort of chap. Fielding. but the girls q ripper. Hello! Here they are I'll introduce you"
 A groom had thrown open the gate of the field across which they were looking. and Lady Runton from the box seat of small mail phaeton waved her whip. She drove straight across the furrows toward them a little recklessly, the groom running behind. By her side was a girl with coils of deep brown hair and thick black veil worn after the fashion of the travel Ing American.
 Just in time. aren't wei" Lady Run ton remarked as she brought the horses to a standstill Help me down, Jack, and look after Miss Fielding. Sir George. By the bye. have you two met yetT
 Duncombe bowed-he was barehead- ed-and held out his hands.
 T saw Miss Fielding for moment last night" he said. 'or, rather. didn't see her. We were introduced, however. What do you think of our mallgned English weather, Miss FieldingT be asked.
 She raised her veil and looked at him deliberately. He had been prepared for this meeting, and yet it was with difficulty that be refrained from . start. The likeness to the photograph, which even at that moment was in bis pocket, was wonderful She looked q little older perhaps. There were shad. ows in her face of which there were no traces In the picture. And yet the likeness was wonderful.

than the photograph which he had treasured so jealously. He became con scious of a desire to keep her by his side.
 "Is your father shooting. Miss Field ingT'
 She laughed softly.
 "You don't know my father. Sir George" she answered. He hates ex- ercise, detests being out of doors. and his idea of paradise when he Is away from business Is to be In a large hotel where every one speaks English. where there are tapes and special editions and an American bar"
 Duncombe laughed.
 "Then I am afraid Mr. Fielding will find 1t rather hard to amuse himself down here." he remarked.
 "well, he's discovered the telephone" she said. Hes spending the morning ringing up people all over the country. He was talking to his bankers when we came out. Oh. here come the rest of them. How tired they look. poor thlngs-especlally the baron! Nature never meant him to tramp over plowed fields. am sure. Baron.

 Hello, Duncombe" he exclaimed, holding out his hand. T was coming in to see you for a moment"
 Good manw Duncombe answered. Bring your friends. won't youT'
 He held open the gate hospitably. but Lord Runton shook his head.
 T only wanted word with you" he said. Were all starving, and if you don't mind we'll get on as quickly as we can. About tomorrow. You shoot with us, of course"
 "Dellghtedm Duncombe answered.
 "Cresswell met me at the station" Lord Runton continued. I'd drawn out a plan for the shoot. but 1t seems that Cresswell-old fool-hasn't got his harvest in from the two fields by Ket- tons Gorse. What I wanted to ask you was if we might take your tur- nips up from Miles bottom to the north end of the gorse. We can make our circuit then without break"
 "My dear fellow" Duncombe pro tested, twas it worth while asking me such a thing? Of course you can"
 That's settled, then" Lord Runton declared, turning back toward the om- nibus. Let me introduce you to my friends" he added, resting his hand upon the others shoulder, "and then we'll be off."
 Duncombe. in whose ears bis friends cry was still ringing, pressed eagerly forward.
 This is my neighbor. Sir George Duncombe." Lord Runton said, look ing into the carriage, ''who will shoot with us tomorrow Miss Fielding and Colonel Fielding. Lady Angrave and the Baron von Rothe."
 Lady Angrave held out her hand.
 'Sir George and I are almost old friends" she said, with a somewhat languid smile. We were both at Gas tie Holkham last autumn" Duncombe murmured something con ventiOnal as he bowed over his fingers His whole attention was riveted upoI >the tall. pale girl in the farther corne of the omnibus.
