did not return to the hotel until three this
morning?"

Harrington had hoped it would not be neces-

his recent adventure, but the very part he had
thought to omit suddenly became the most
essential, and in answer to her question he told
with as much levity as possible, straight
story.
Helen listened breathlessly. "Oh what
CHASTITY experienced she cried softly. The nails
OF her dainty fingers threatened to pierce her
fair soft cheek and the faintest suggestion of
moisture sparkled wonderfully in her troubled
eyes. Il wonder if you can ever forgive me

quivered on her lips.
For answer he gathered her trembling form
in his strong arms, and she nestled there con-
tentedly for a moment; moment of heavenly
peace, she thought in an hour of turmoil and
sorrow.

CHAPTER TX.

At four in the afternoon two fashionably
dressed men alighted from north-bound train;
they exchanged few words and separated. One
sauntered toward the only hotel in town, while
the other walked rapidly in an opposite direc-
ton. Through very exclusive residence dis
reaching the outskirts of the village; then at a
less rapid pace he turned into a private park.
Presently he fancied hearing sound ahead
Of him, and stopped abruptly, that he might hear
strobe curved to the left few feet beyond, as
it did behind him, and was lost to view in the
thick shrubbery. On all sides he could see only
walls of foliage, and above, the blue sky. He
listened intently for second and became con-
scious of the onward rush of little feet walking
almost running--short rapid steps. with heel
not once striking the gravel path; to himself he
described i woman's. and had quite made up
his mind she ran with the grace of fawn, when
a beautiful girl burst into view.
