shoulders as he watched the wheels OF the

message would reach telegraph office. Two
more would bring it to Mackenzie. With

Helen would HE homeward in the morning. 1t
was pity that her holiday and his wooing
should be interfered with; but who could have
foretold that Mcent Jaques would drop from
the sky in that unheralded way Her probable
interference in the quarrel between Stampa
and Bower put Mrs. de la Nere's suggestion out
of court. A Roman bent requiting per
sonal slight would never consent to forego such
a chance of obtaining ample vengeance
Bowers earlier history provided.
In any case. SpenSer was sure that the sooner
Helen and he were removed from their present
environment the happier they would be. He
hoped most fervently that the course OF events
might be made smooth for their departure.
He cared not jot for the tittletattle of the
hotel. Let him but Helen reestabished IN
London, and it would not be his fault II they
did not set forth on their honeymoon before the
year was much older
HE disliked this secret plotting and contriv-
: ing He adopted such methods only be-
cause they offered the surest road to success
If he should consult his own feelings. he would

together, and ask her to believe that Their

Her fright was subsding rapidly. She
deemed the opportunity too good to be lost.
If she could win his confidence, what an inn

against Bower! SummonIng all her energies.
and irving to remember some of the German
sentences learned in her school davs, she smiled
wistfully
You are in great trouble she murmured.
Il suppose Herr Bower has injured you?'
Stampa glanced at her keenly. He had the
experience of sixty years OF busy llfe to help
him in summing up those with whom he came
in contact and this beautiful, richly dressed
woman did not appeal to his simple nature
did Helen when she surprised his grief on
morning not SO long ago Moreover, the ele-
CANT stranger was little better than spy: for
none but spy would have wandered among
the rocks and shrubs in such weather. and he
was in no mood to suffer her inquiries

the grave, he passed out through the gate be-

off with long. uneven but rapid strides leav-
ing her hot with annoyance that mere peasant
should treat her so cavaierly- Though she
did not understand all he said, she grasped its
purport. But her soreness soon passed. lhe
GREAT fact remained that she shared some secret
with him and Bower, secret of an Importance
she could not yet measure. She was tempted
to 90 inside the cemetery, and might have
Welded to the impulse had not a load Of snow

But he could not explain his presence in
Switzerland without referring to Bower. and
the task eminently dlstastetul. In all
things concerning the future relations between
Helen and himself. he was done with pre-
lenses If he could he p it. her first visit to the
Alps should not have its record darkened By the
few misera ble pages torn out of Bowers life.
After many years the man 5 sin had discovered
him. That which was then done in secret was
now about to be Shrieked from the housetopS.
" Even the gods cannot undo the past. said
the old Greeks. and the stern dogma had lost
nothing of its truth with the march OF the
centuries. Indeed. Spenser regretted his
rivals threatened exposure. If it lay in his
power, he would prevent it. Meanwhile,
Helen must be snatched from the enduring
knowledge of her innocent association with
the offender and his pillory. He set his mind
on the achievement. To succeed, he must
monopolize her company until she quilted the
hotel en- route for London
Then he thought of Mrs de la We're a

mask lifted for instant by that backward

nor sought other explanation than given
by his unwavering belief in the essential nobil-
ltv of her sex.
Therein he was right Had he trusted to
her intuition, and told Millicent Jaques at the
earliest possible moment exactly how matters
stood between Helen and himself, it Is only
reasonable to suppose that the actress would
have changed her plan of campaign. She had
no genuine antipathy toward Helen, whose
engagement to Spenser would he her strongest
