was proud to remember his estate at
Ardsley, which was in Gov. Danger
fields jurisdiction, and had been Wis
tied by the game warden, the state
forester, and various other members
of the governors official household,
though Ardmore could not remember
their names. He had never in his life
visited Raleigh, but far down some
dim vista of memory he saw Sir Wal
ter covering a mud-puddle with his
cloak for Queen Elizabeth.
Ardmore smoked many pipes and
did not turn in until after midnight.
The car was hot and stuffy and he
slept badly. At some hour of the
morning, being again awake and rest
less, he fished his dressing-gown and
slippers out of his bag and went out
on the rear platform. His was the
last car, and he found camp-stool
and crouched down upon 1t in cor
ner of the vestibule and stared out
into the dark. The hum and click of
the rails soothed him and he yielded
himself to pleasant reveries.
Ardmore was half-dozing when the
train stopped so abruptly that he was
pitched from the camp-stool into a
corner of the entry. He got himself
together and leaned out into the cool
moist air.
The porter came out and stared, for
a gentleman in a blue silk wrapper
who sat up all night in vestibule
was new to his experience,
What place is this. porter?'
Kildare, sab. This place is wha'

Perfectly; thank you"
Kildare was familiar name, ant
the station, that lay at the outskirts
of the town, and long grim barracks
like building that he identified as a
cotton mill, recalled the fact that he
was not far from his own ample acres
which lay off somewhere to westward.
He had occasionally taken this route
from the north in going to Ardsley,
riding or driving from Kildare about
ten miles to his house. In this way
he was enabled to go or come without
appearing at all in the little village of
Ardsley
The porter left him. He felt ready
back to bed as soon as the train
started. Just then dark shadow APP
peared in the track and a mans voice
asked cautiously:
Air y'u the conductor"
The questioner saw that he was not,

"The porter's in the car; you can

The mana tall bearded countryman
in SLOUGH hat, handed up to Ardmore
a jug-a plain, brown, old-fashioned
American gallon jug.

vanished as mysteriously as he had
appeared. leaving Ardmore holding
the jug by its handle, and feeling a lit
tie dazed by the transaction.

stared up at Ardmore sleepily, having
apparently been reused on the arrival
of the train.
"Air y'u the gov'nor?" he plped.
Eyes, my lad; in what way can l

his jug and leaned over the guard
rail. 1t was just as easy to be the
governor as the governors private
secretary, and his vanity was touched
by the readiness with which the boy
accepted him in his new role. His cos.
tune, vaguely discernible in the vesti-
bule light, evidently struck the lad
as being some amazing robe of state
affected by governors. The youngster
was lifting something, and he now
held up to Ardmore jug, as like the
other as one pea resembles another.

said the girl. The manager came out
personally to show her to her car
riage and having shut the door upon
her, -he wished Ardmore, who stood
dlscreetly by, safe Journey.
"Off for New Orleans, are you, Mr..

ously.

duties, gravely shaking his head
At the station Ardmore caught sight
of Miss Danger6eld, attended by
two porters, hurrying toward the Tar
Heel express. He bought a ticket
to Raleigh, and secured the last avail
able berth from the conductor on the
platform at the moment of departure
Ardmore did not like to be hurried
and thus sudden change of plans had
been almost too much for him, but
he was consoled by the reflection that
after all these years of waiting for
just such an adventure. he had proved
himself equal to an emergency that
required quick thought and swift sc-
ton. He had not only found the girl
with the playful eye. but he had
learned her identity without, as 1t
were, turning over his hand
The stateroom door stood open, and
from his seat at the farther end of
the car Ardmore caught a fieeting
glimpse of Miss Dangerfeld as she
threw off her jacket and hat; then
she summoned the porter give him
her tickets, babe him smiling good
night and the door closed upon her,
Ardmore went back to smoke and
plan his future movements. For the
first time in his life he faced to-mor-
row with eager anticipatlons, resolved
that nothing should thwart his high
resolves, though these, to be sure,
were somewhat hazy. He did not
know why Billings was so anxious to
find Miss Dangerfield's father, but as

Ardmore gazed across the room in

played about his lips. To gain the
door the girl must pass by his table.
and he scrutinized her closely as she
drew near and passed. She was lit
tie girl, and her light fluffy hair swept
out from under a small blue hat in
shell-like curve, and the short skirt
of her tailor-made gown robbed her,
it seemed, of years to which the cal
endar might entitle her.
"She gave me the steadiest eye
ever looked into when l asked her

Billings grimly as the girl passed.

rose, leaving on the plate, by sud
