SEVTT ELL, this is a pleasure!
wv To think of seeing you
in this part of the
world" cried Mortimer Hilton, as he
stopped at the entrance of the quaint
little hotel at Barminster, which he
had made his headquarters because
of its quietude, for he could motor
into the busy industrial town of Bour-
ton each morning.
1t was Phyllis Trenton, Phyllis,
who had refused his offers of mar
riage one by one, but who had espe-
cially retained his friendship.
And what are you doing here ?'
he asked.
Motoring; simply that and moth
ing more she said archly.
"Alone?"
NO, indeed! The Antique is with
me-asleep upstairs for the moment.

morning, and ] have been sketching,

any company is better than none,
and l have reason to believe that
Miss Grey will not reappear o-night.

1t was an hour later. Miss Trenton
had proved right in her prognostica-
ton, and the elderly companion, Miss
Grey, did not materialize for the din
ner, which was very good, although

not know anything about politics, and
all the time he only goes around gass-
Ing about the fresh air and the hap
pyfaced children in the division as
if it were all due to him"
HE must be a droll old thing,
said Phyllis. "And when is the cleo
tion?"
To morrow morning. ] shall have
to be in the town early. l wish now
that I had dropped the whole thing.
Then perhaps you would let me come
along with you, and we could look at
cathedrals and things"
Il prefer cathedrals to things. And
so the election is in the morning"

She held out her hand and Morti-
timer Hilton bent over it, Afterward
he wrote a few letters and then re-
tired to sleep the sleep OF the Just,
or SO he thought, but the image of
Phyllis Trenton was there before him.
Morning arrived at last and Hilton
rose, but when he tried the door, in
tending to gain the bathroom, he
found it locked. He rang, but to no
effect

Whatever can it mean" he said
as he sat down on the bed. Are they
all asleep? He rang again, but with
the same negative result.
The door was of oak and as solid as
if it had been fashioned for a prison.
He looked at his watch. 1t showed
the hour to be TO- He had slept late
owing to wakeful night. And the
nomination was fixed for midday. If
he did not turn up, his rival would
be returned unopposed!

He tried shaking the door again. He
might as well have attacked a block
of granite. Had some awful disaster
occurred to the people of the place?
He dashed to the window. 1t was
barred, relic of the old days. There
did not seem to be any chance. He
tugged at the bell again. 1t was y
very old-fashioned bell, with a tassel
attachment. and plainly it had had
enough of it. for at his last pull the
rope came away in his hand. Morti-
mer Hilton surveyed the end. It had
been cut!
