Outstanding. In a word. Mr.. Ames.

"Hezekiah," added Cecilia, with
feeling, sis a dear"
please don't bring sentimentalism
to the tablet" cried Miss Hollister.
MI. Virgins once Informed me in a
moment of forgetfulness-it was at
Fontaineblcau, l remember. when
Hezekiah persisted in reminding Il one
armed French colonel who was hang
ing about that we named cities in
America for Bismarck-it was there at
the inn that Mr.. Virgins contided to
me his belief that Hezekiah bears a
strong resemblance to the common or
domestic peach. AS Il single peach at
that place was charged in the bill at
10 francs, the remark was ill timed, to
say the least. But Mr.. Virgins was
so contrite when l rebuked him that 1
allowed him to pay for our luncheon
no small matter. indeed. for HeZe-
kiah's appetite is nothing if not ro-
bust"
Miss HOLSTER gave SO many turns to
the conversation that | could reach no
conclusion as to her feeling toward
Virgins or HeZekiah HOLSTER, and. as
for Cecilia. | was unable to determine
whether she vas a prisoner at Hope
field Manor or the willing and devoted
companion OF her aunt.
In this bewildered state Of mind,
while we fingered over our coffee. the
servant appeared with a card for each
of the ladies'. | saw Cecilia start as
she read the name.
"Mr. Virgins! How remarkable that
he should have appeared just as we
were speaking Of him. said Miss Hol-
lister. BE sure the gentleman is COM
Portable in the library. James. We
shall be in at once. Mr.. Ames. you
will. of course. be delighted to meet
your friend here. and you will assist us
in dispensing our meager hospitality"

CHAPTER ~.
Fall Into a Brier Patch,

WdCCuluE Tue SuduOW lcllSLuCu.
1 rose now and followed the wall
toward a highway along which
wagons and an occasional motorcar
had passed during my reverie. The
sloping pasture was rough and fire.
quently sent me along at a trot. The
wall that marked the boundary at the
roadside was hidden by a tangle Of
raspberry bushes, and my foot, turn
ing on a stone concealed in the wild
grasses, l fell clumsily and rolled q
dozen yards into a tangle Of the berry
bushes. AS l picked myself up l heard
voices in the road, but should have
thought nothing Of it had l not seen
through a break in the vines and al
most within reach Of my hand Cecilia
Hollister talking earnestly to some n
not yet disclosed. She was hatless,
but had flung a golf cape over her
shoulders. The scarlet lining of the
hood turned up about her neck made
an effective setting for her noble head.
"Oh. l can't tell you! l can't help
you! l mustn't even appear to give
you any advantage. | went into it
with my yes open. and I'm in honor
bound not to tell you anything. You
have said nothing-nothing. remember
that. There is absolutely nothing be-
tween u.s."
But l must say everything. | re-
fuse to be blinded by these absurd re-
strictions, whatever they are. It's not
fair. It's inviting me into a game
where the cards are not all on the ia
BILE. I've come to make an end of it,"
MY hands had suffered by contact
with the briars. and | had been minis
tering to them with my handkerchief,
but l fell back upon the slope in my
establishment at this colloquy. Cecilia
Hollister | had seen plainly enough.
though the mans back had been to-
ward me. but anywhere on earth l
should have known Virgins voice. l
protest that it is not my way to be-
come an eavesdropper voluntarily. but
to disclose myself now was impossible.
If it had not been Wiggins-but Wig
gins would never have understood or
forgiven. nor could | have explained
plauSibly to Cecilia HOLSTER that |
Hdu uOl lOllO"Su llSl vi LuC OAIS
to spy upon her. | Should have made
the noise of an invading army if l had
attempted to effect an exit by creeping
out through the windrow of crisp
leaves in which | lay. and to turn back
and ascend the slope the way | had
come would have been to advertise my
presence to the figures in the road.
There seemed nothing for me but to
keen still and hope that this discus
sion between Cecilia HOLSTER and
Hartley Virgins would not be contln.
ued within earshot To my relief they
moved a trifle farther On. but | still
heard their voices.
II cannot listen to you. Now that
Pm committed ! cannot honorably
c~ountenance you at all. and | can ex.
plain nothing. | came here to meet
you only to tell you this. You must &C
please. And do not attempt to see
me in this way again"
was grateful that Virgins voice
sank so low in his reply that did no
hear it. but l knew that he was plead
ing hard. Then n motor flashed by
and when the whir of its passing haG
ceased the voices were %inaudible. Bu'
q moment later | heard q light. quick
step beyond the wall. and Cecilia pass
ed %hurriedly. her face turned tOwart
the house. The cape was drawn tight

Congressman Hiram r. Burton, Republican of Sussex
with the Governor of the State ox-oiicio member
Of the commission. In other words the act as the
