81 see now what you mean," mused
Hetty. Il have never thought of 1t
in that way before"
well, 1t comes to this in our case,
Hetty: have tried you all over again
In my own little court and / have ac-
quilted you of the charge had against
you. do not offer you silly pardon.
You must allow me to have my way
in this matter, to choose my own
means of compensating you for"
"You saved my life," protested Het-
ty, shaking her head obstinately.
''My dear, appreciate the fact that
you are English" said Sara, with a
weary smile, "but won't you please see
the point?"
Then Hetty smiled too, and the way

gained her quixotic point, and Hetty

When she sailed for England, two
days later, the newspapers announced
that the beautiful and attractive Miss
Castleton was returning to her native
land OH account of the death of Lord
Murgatroyd, and would spend the year
on the continent, where probably she
would be joined later on by Mrs. Wrsn-
dali, whose period of mourning and
distress had been softened by the con-
slant and loyal friendship OF this ex-
quisite Englishwoman."
Four hundred miles out at sea she
was overtaken by wireless messages
from three persons.
Brandon Booths message said: II
am sailing tomorrow on faster ship
than yours. You will find me waiting
for you on the landing stage" Her
heart gave leap to dizzy heights, and
try as she would, she could not crush
1t back to the depths In which It had
