Oldest HowIInq Green.

Which is our Oldest recreation!
There are not wanting Psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on
Egyptian moral tablets. However
when 1t comes to actual records, the
fine old English game of bowls would
appear to be as old as any.
Southampton. Eng. has records
showing that one of the local bowling
greens was in existence in 1899.
Many interesting customs are asso-
ciated with the game on this historic
green. Every summer fire JACK"
competition is held, and an order oil
knighthood is conferred on the win'
ner, who kneels in the center OF the
green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches
him with a sword and dubs him sir.

I'm good for anything. Lucky stars

Straker turned a Disguised face
toward Agatha. He's crazy as a
loon! Isn't he?" he questioned glum-
ly. But Jimmy knew his man.

isn't it, Miss Redmond?"
She loved him for his boyish laugh
ter, for the rollicking spirit in his
voice, but her eyes suddenly filled as
she pondered the meaning back Of his
extraordinary story. With Mr.. Strak-
er gone at last, it was she who came
to Jim with outstretched hands.

help, there on the hill?'
Yep" he answered, suddenly

"And you followed to rescue me II

"Yep-of course"
"Ah, Jamesi Why did you do it,"
Jim's small-boy expression beamed
from his eyes. Il followed the Voice
and the Face-as I told you once be

II remember. But why?"
His seven-year-old mood was sud
denly touched with poetic dignity. y

into her face. 1t was all tenderness;
and she did not resist when he drew
her gently down, till her lips touched
his.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Man of Mo Principle.

Monsieur Chatelard's disappearance
was as complete as though he had
dropped off the earth. The sheriff,
with his warrant in his pocket, hid
his chagrin behind the sugar and -four
barrels whose sale occupied his time
when he wasn't losing rnalefactors.
Chamberlain, having once freed his
mind to the grave-like Hand, main
tanned absolute silence on the subject,
so far as the audience at the old red
house was concerned. But he went
gether they laid network Of police
inspection about Ilion and Charles
port
1T won't do any good" grumbled
Chamberlain. We'll have to catch
him and choke him with our own
hands, If it ever gets DONE"
Nevertheless, they left nothing to
chance. Telegraph and telephone were
brought into requisition, and within
twenty-four hours after the disap-
pearance every station on the railroad,
as well as every village along the
coast, was warned to arrest the fugi-
tive if he came that way. Mr.. Cham
berlain took the white motor and went
off on long, mysterious journeys,
coming back only to go into secret
conclave with Aleck, or 1nysteriously
to rush off agajr
Aleck Van Ca-1p stayed at home,
keeping a dog-watch on Meianie and
40 NH not r.
at the Hillside or at the old red
house. Now that the purposes of the
Frenchman had been made clear, and
since he was still at large, the world
was no safe place for unattended
women. Aleck pondered deeply over
the situation.
rs your amiable cousins henchman
a man to be scared off by our recent
little encounter, do you think?" he
asked OF Melanie.
She considered. "He might be
scared, easily enough. But l know
we'll that he has contempt for the
usual machinery of the law. He has
evaded it so many times that he
thinks it an easy matter"
Aleck smiled whimsically. 81 don't
wonder at that, if he has had many
experiences like the last
HE boasts that he can bride any
body"
"Ah, so! But how much rope would
the duke give him, do you think, on
a pinch?"
"All the rope he cares to take
Stephens protection is all-powerful in
Krolvetz; and elsewhere Chatelard de-
ponds, as 1 have said, on his wits"
But there must be some limit to
the dukes stretch of conscience!"
Melanie's eyes took ON their far
away look. Perhaps there Is" she
said at last, ''but who can guess where
that limit is? Besides, all he asks OF
his henchmen is results. He never
inquiries as to methods"
We'll, what do you think is the
exact result Duke Stephen wants, In
this case?"
He wants me either to return to
Krolvetz and marry his brother, or"
Melanie's hesitation was prolonged
"Or-what?"
COR to disappear so completely that
there will be no question of my re-
turn. You see, it's peculiar case

"Samson-shorn!" she exclaimed
gaily. Il hardly know you, all liked
up like this"
"Oh. l look much better than this
when I'm really dressed UP, you
know" Jim asserted. Agatha patted
his knuckles indulgently, looked at the
shinness and whiteness of the hand
and shook her head.
Not gaining enough yet" she said.
That isn't the right color for a
land"
1T needs to be held longer"
"Oh, no, it needs more quiet. Few
er visitors, no talking, and plenty OF
fresh milk and eggs
Jimmy almost stamped his foot.
Down with eggs!" he cried. And
milk, too. I'm going to institute
mutiny. Excuse me. know I'm visit
ing and ought to be polite, but no
more invalid's food for me. Handy
Andy and l are going out to kill
moose and eat Itch, Andy?"
But Hand was gone. Agatha sat
down in big rocker at the other win
dow. In that case" she said de-
murely. we'll all have to be thinking
of Lynn and New York and work"
Jim shamelessly turned feather.
s'Oh. no." he cried. I'm very i'll. TN
not able to go to Lynn. Besides, my
slrne isn't up yet. This is my vacation"
He looked up smiling into Agatha's
face, ingenious as boy Of seven.
DO you always take such-such
venturesome holidays?" she asked.
Il never took any before; at least,
not what I call holidays" he said If
you don't come over here and sit near
me, 1 shall get up and go over to you.
And Andy says I'm very wobbly on
my legs. l might by accident drop
into your lap"
Agatha pushed her chair over to-
ward James, and before she could sit
down he had drawn it still closer to
lais own. "The doctor says my hand
has to be heidi" he assured her. as
he got firm hold Of hers.
For shame!" she cried Mustn't
tell fbs"
Tell me-" he begged, "is this your
house, really'n truly?" 1t brought, as
he knew it would, her ready smile.
yep" she nodded.
"And is that your tree out there?"
yep"
"Ah!" he sighed. IT'S great! It's
Paradise. I've dreamed of just such
a heavenly place. And Andy says
we've been here two weeks"
~Yes-and little more"
my holiday half gonei" His mood
suddenly changed from its jocund and
boyish manner, and he turned earn
astly toward Agatha
Il don't know, dear girl, all that
has happened since that night-with
you-on the water. Hand shuts me
Oh most villainously. But I know it's
Heaven being here, with Aleck and
every one so good to me. and you!
You've come back, somehow, like 8
reality from my dreams. l watch for
you. You're all l think of. whether
I'm awake or asleep"
Agatha earnestly regarded his frank
face, with its laughing, true eyes.

to call him thSt-"it seems as If /,
too, had known you long time. More
than these little two weeks"
