could not close her eyes. At long in

reach processioned before her. Had
Clara already snapped the trap of the
law upon Kerr? And If she hadn't
yet, what could be done to hold her
off? Flora turned again to the tele-
phone. Slowly she took down the re-
ceiver and gave into the bright mouth
piece of the instrument the number of
her own house.
Presently the voice of Shipla spoke
to her Mrs. Britton had gone out to
Tell her, Shima," Flora command
ed, tell her to come down on the
earliest train" She hesitated, then
finished in firm voice. Tell her not
to do anything until she has seen
me-"
Shima would tell her-but Mrs.
Britton had been out all day. He did
not know when she would be back.
The words sounded ominous In
FIora's ears. She turned lway. Was
everything to be finished just as she
had light enough to move, but before
she had chance?
The sound of spinning wheels on
the drive started her to fresh hope,
and sent her hurrying down the stair.
1t was the phaeton returning from the
last train. Through the open door she
saw the figure of Mrs. Herrick expec-
tant on the veranda. Then the car
rage came into the porte-cochere and
passed. With rush she reached the
veranda, and stood there looking after
it. She wouldn't believe her eyes
she couldn't-that it had returned
again empty.
Mrs. Herricks voice was asking her,
what shall we do? Shall we serve
dinner now. or wait little longer?"
ooh, it's no use," Flora murmured,
"he won't come tonight. He'll never
come" She dropped against the tall
porch pillar.
"My poor child" Mrs. Herrick took
her passive hand. If she read in the
profound encouragement of Flora's
face that something more had trans
pired than a mere non-appearance, she
did not show 1t, but waited, alert and
quiet, while they gazed together out
over the darkening garden.
They chung to each other, peering
timorously down the drive. A little
gust of wind took the garden, and be-
fore the trees had ceased to tremble
and whiten a man had emerged from
their shadow and was advancing upon
them up the middle of the drive.
F1ora's heart leaped at sight of him.
All her impulse was to fly to meet him,
but she felt Mrs. Herrick's hand tight
en- upon her wrist as II 1t OWNED her
madness.
His light stick aswing in his hand,
his step free and incautious as ever,
gray and slender and seeming to look
more at the ground than at them, the
two women watched him. drawing
near. HIS was the seeming of a quiet
guest at the quietest of house parties.
To meet him Flora saw she must meet
him on the high ground Of his reserve.
AS he came under the light of the
porte-cochere his look, his greeting,
his hand. were first for Mrs. Herrick
I'VE were afraid we had missed you
altogether" said she.
at was who somehow missed your
carriage, was hardly expecting to be
expected at such an hour"
Flora watched them meeting each
other so galkntly with trembling
conjunction. Mrs. Herrick, who
trusted her, was giving her hand in
sublime ignorance. 1t was vain that
Flora told herself she had given warn
ing. She knew she had thrown the
