CHAPTER XIV.
CROSSING the Channel,

hi'S
Booth, restless with vague uneasi-
ness that had come over him during
the night, keeping him awake until
nearly dawn, was hard put during the
early hours of the forenoon to find
occupation for his interest until a
seasonable time arrived for appearing
at Southlook He was unable to &C
count for this feeling of uncertainty
and irritation.
At nine he set out to walk over to
Southlook, realizing that he should
have to spend an hour in proftless
gossip with the lodge keeper before
presenting himself at the villa, but
somehow relishing the thought that
even so he would be nearer to Hetty
than If he remained in his own door
yard.
Halfway there we was overtaken by
Saras big French machine returning
from the village. The car came to a
standstill as he stepped aside to let
it pass, and Sara herself leaned over
and cordially invited him to get in and
ride home with her.
What an early bird you are" he ex-
claimed as he took his seat beside
her.
She was not in mood for airy per-
sifiage, as he soon discovered.
Miss Castleton has gone up to
town, Mr.. Booth" she said rather
lifeiessly. 81 have Just taken her to
the station. She caught the eight.

He was at once solicitous. mo bad

in his mind that her absence was
other than temporary.
"She is not coming back, Brandon. u
She had not addressed him as Bran
don before.
He stared. "You-you mean" The
words died on his lips.
"She is not coming back" she re.
peated.
An accusing CLEAN leaped into his
eyes.
What has happened. Mrs. Wran.

She was quick to perceive the
change in his voice and manner.
She prefers to live apart from me-
That is all"
when was this decision reached"
"But yesterday. Soon after she came
in from her walk with you"
"Do-do you mean to imply that
that had anything to do with her leav
ing your homer" he demanded, with
a flush on his cheek.
She met his look without finching
ut was the beginning"
"You-you criticised her? You tool
her to task"
Il notified her that she was to marry
Leslie Wrandall if she marries anyone
at ALL" she said in a perfectly leve
tone.
Good Lord, Mrs. Wrandall!"
But she Is not going to marry Les

cried triumphantly, "She loves me
