Together we lifted her and bore her
gently to the side of the cottage,
where we laid her on the ground. Joy
surged in my heart as ! saw and heard
that she was still breathing, Joy that
was not even abated when saw by
the window light that my companion
was none other than Hugh Crandall. y

Across her rounded arm was red
dening cash where the bullet had cut
its way through the tender flesh.
While my head told me that Crandall
was right, that 1t was only flesh
wound and not in the least dangerous.
in my heart I still felt little better
than a murderer. Three inches to the
right, and the bullet from my revolver
would have stilled her heart for ever.
She opened her eyes and stared at
US in puzzled way.
'''Why, Harding, DEAR" she said in
feeble surprise. ARE you here-here

All of sudden the form Of man

WcERoY HARDINGE,s TASK. is GREAT

When Edward VII, following that
remarkable series of visits to Cont
mental capitals which began In 1908.
was acclaimed throughout Europe as
the peacemaker, there were certain
keen-faced old gentlemen in Downing
street who allowed themselves the
emotional relaxation of a quiet smile
and registered the thought at the
same time that q considerable por-l
tion OF the credit for the diplomatic
success of those tours was due a
young man Of serene temper and en-
gaging manner who was attached to
his majesty's suite. ~.
Sir Charles Hardinge was that
man, and when almost coincidentlyt
with his appointment to the highest
ONCE in the gift Of the crown-the
viceregal throne of India-he was
elevated to the peerage In 1910 and
became the first Lord Hardinge Of
Penhurst, there was neither surprise
