CHAPTER TX.

It was the very last evening Of the
time that had been allotted Terhune
In which to select wife. The fol-
lowing day was to see Solicitor Barnes
at luncheon with us at one o'clock
precisely. Dearest having invited him
in accordance with Mrs. James re-
quest that he should be the referee
present at the house when the last
minute Of Terhune's ten days of grace
should expire, and his expected pres
ence at the meal brought 1t home to
lis what decisive one it must of
necessity be. Decisive was indeed the
right word to use in connection with
that meal! For If old Arch was still
free and unbalanced when he sat down
to it, he might as well never have
been nephew OF his aunt as far as in.
heriting that aunt's property was con.
cerned.
Dearest was inclined, being optimis-
tic enough to hope for a consumma.
ton Of his engagement to Agatha
Sixth before that time to make of the
luncheon sort of marriage-feast in
honor of that event, and was already
planning famous ices and cakes OF a
hymeneal nature. But Arch seemed
not to view the approach of the cru.
cial day with such light heart. His
thoughts at dinner that night were so
absent, in fact, as to force one to con-
clude that the spectre Of his aunt's
third cousin seated upon the veranda
Of the house in Australia with pos.
sessive feet on the railing had be-
come his familiar spirit.
It was this apparent anxiety Of his
and his feverish devotion to Agatha
Sixth that utterly unprepared me for
the unfortunate denouement later.
The evening had ended at last and

for the night. We had been playing

ners, as were Agatha First and Freer.
Better still, Agatha Sixth seemed quite
to have forgotten the unhappy cpl.
sode Of the waterfall, when Arch had
so obviously missed his cue. and was
openly basking in the return of her
admirers devotion. And Agatha First.
too, seemed quite contented, not
whit disturbed by this attitude on my
friends part and mildly amused by
the attempted gallantries Of the rec.
tors son from Wye. 1t was, In fact, a
thoroughly happy little foursome. and.
as q spectator Of Its content I felt
particularly pleased when thought
Of what Arch had confided to me Just
before dinner. That he intended to

to consider, q favorable answer. from
Agatha Sixth on the morrow.
We had all gone to bed. and the
night was well advanced. when i was
