 ''No, liked him. I saw how it was. She took his siences for intellectual meditation, his gallery, his library, his smatterings for expressions of a culti- vated personality.

 ~ Ferrall appeared to be a normal
 man energetically devoted to his busi-
 ness, his pleasures, his friends and
 comfortably in love with his wife. And 1df some considered his vigor in busi-
 ness to be lacking in mercy, that vigor
 was always exercised within the law.
 He never transgressed the rules of
 war, but his headlong energy some times landed him close to the dead
 line. He had already breakfasted when
 the earliest risers entered the morning
 room to saunter about the sideboards
 and investigate the simmering contents
 of silver covered dishes on the warm ers.
 The fragrance of coffee was pleas Antly perceptible Men in conventional shooting attire roamed about the room, selected what they cared for and car fried it to the table. Mrs. Mortimer Mas there consuming peaches that matched her complexion. Marion Page, always more congruous in field costume and belted jacket than in anything else, and always, like her own hunters, minutely groomed, was preparing a breakfast for her own consumption with the eisurely preci- sion characteristic of her whether in the saddle, on the box or grassing her brace of any covey that ever flushed.
 Captain Voucher and Lord Alderdene disSNssed prospects between bites. at tentive to the monosyllabic opinions of Miss Page. Her twin brothers. Cor don and Willis, shyly consuming oat- meal, listened respectfully and waited on their sister at the slightest lifting If her thinly arched eyebrows.
 Into this company sauntered Siward apparently no worse for wear, for as yet the enemy had set upon him no proprietary insignia save rather be- coming pallor and faint bluish shad- ows under the eyes. He strolled about, exchanging amiable greetings, and presently selected a chilled grape fruit as his breakfast. Opposite him Morti- mer, breakfasting upon his own dread ful bracer of an apple soaked in port, raised his heavy infiamed eyes with q Significant leer at the iced grape fruit.
 Siward glanced out through the lead hd easements into the brilliant Sep tember sunshine. Outside he could see Major Belweth- sr, pink skinned, snowy chop whiskers brushed rabbit fashion, very voluble ATh Sylvia Landis, who listened ab- ! bsntly, head partly averted.

But whatever 1t was that he said appeared to change her passive nattention to quiet displeasure, for, as Siward rose from the table, he saw her turn on her heel and walk slowly toward a group of dogs presided over by some kennel men and gamekeepers.
