were agitated violently and the head
of Lady Creech popped out of the case
ment with the suddenness of Punch
From the keen look on her face one
might have imagined that had 1t not
been for her deafness she might have
heard every word Of the conversation
that had gone on below her. AS it was.
after gazing anxiously In the direction
of the road she withdrew her head
sharply and within minute came out
Of the door Of the hotel just in time to
encounter Horace and Nine. de Cham
pigny coming in from the grove. She
approached them at once.
"Have you seen my brotherT she
demanded excitedly. "Where is Lord
HawcastleY
Horace looked at her with surprise.
ION the other side Of the garden,
Lady Creech," he answered, down
there on the terrace" and watched.
with some amusement, the speedy eff
forts of the grim old lady as she hur-
RED off. The amusement, however,
rapidly gave place to more interest
ing pastime, for, summoning all his
callow courage, he set himself vigor-
ously to hint at possible union be-
tween himself and the noble countess.
1t was evident from the first word
that the lady was prepared for him
and that, while she intended to offer
him every bit Of encouragement in her
power, she would not be satisfied with
anything short Of definite proposal
and more likely before witnesses If
possible.
He made his initial move with some
gayety. She returned his banter with
q mock seriousness and in answer to
his challenge on her somber mood re-
piled:
but l cannot believe you are al
ways serious, my friend"
"Try me-" he demanded eagerly.
"Set me some task to prove how seri-
Gus am" She smiled at him.
Gladly" she said. Complete this
odious settlement. Overcome the re-
sistance of this bad man who so uou-
bles your sweet sister"
Horace took her hand and murmur-
ed:
You promise me that when it is set
tied l may speak to YOU
Eyes. You may speak to me-when
you please" And at the words he
kissed her hand rapturously.
In the meantime the suddenly reju-
venated Lady Creech had found her
brother-in-law and had impaired to
him words Of the utmost Importance.
She had temporarily forgotten her
deafness, or else the agitation that pos
sessed her had removed it, for she was
bordering upon "a state Of mind"
She walked him back to the hotel
when she found him and talked con-
tinuously all the way, and as she
talked his excitement grew to match
her own. AS they approached the gar
den Lady Creech said to him:
II couldn't hear distinctly, for they
mumbled their words, but upon my
soul, Hawcastle, even if I couldn't
hear we'll, saw enough"
