She was silent for a long time. so
long indeed that he turned TO look
at her
"A thoroughly decent, fair minded
chap is Leslie Wrandall,' he pro
nounced, for want of something bet
ter to say. Still, I'm bound to say,
I'm sorry he is coming home tomor-
row"
The red crept into her cheeks again.
Il thought you were such pals" she
said nervously.
Il expect to be his best man il he
ever marries," said he, whaCking a
stone at the roadside with his walk
ing stick. Then he looked up at her
furtively and added, with a quizZicai
smile: Unless something happens"
What could happen?"
HE might marry the girl I'm in
love with, and. in that case, I'd have
to be excused"

That's where | first saw you, if you
remember"
Yes, let us go there" she said, but
her heart sank. She knew what was
coming. Perhaps it were best TO have
| it over with; to put it away with the
| things that were to always be her
| lost treasures. II would mean the
end Of their companionship, the end
of a love dream. She would have to
lie to him: to tell him she did not
love him.
Coming to the Jog in the broad mac
adam, they were striking off into the
narrow road that led to the quaint
old mill, long since abandoned in the
forest glade beyond, when their atten-
ton was drawn to a motor car, which
was slowing down for the turn into
| Sara's domain. A cloud of dust swan
in the air far behind the machine.
A bare-headed man on the seat be-
side the driver waved his hand to
them, and two women in the tonneau
bowed gravely. Both Hetty and
Booth flushed uncomfortably, and hes
itated in their progress up the forest
road.
The man was Leslie Wrandall His
mother and sister were in the back
seat of the touring car.
"Why-why, it was Leslie" cried

CHAPTER x.-Continued.

He looked as though he expected
nothing. He could only sit back and
wonder why the deuce Sara meant by
behaving like this.
They returned at seven. Dinner
was unusually merry. Sara appeared
to have recovered from her indispo-
sition; there was color in her cheeks
and life in her smile. He took 1t to
be an omen of good fortune, and was
UNNECESSARILY confident. The soft,
cool breezes of the starlit night blew
visions of impending happiness across
his lively imagination; famed his i'm
patience with gentle ardor; filled him
with suppressed signs Of contentment,
and made him willing to forego the
delight of conquest that he might live
the longer in serene anticipation Of
fits thrills.
Ten o'clock came. He arose and
stretched himself in sort Of ecstasy.

You are very good to me, Sara"
sobbed Hetty.
You will be nice to Leslie?"
YES, yes, If he will only let me
be his friend"
HE asks no more than that. Now,
you must go to bed"
Suddenly, without warning, she held
the girl tightly in her arms. Her
breathing was quick. as of one
moved by some sharp sensation of ter
ror. When Hetty, in no little won
der, opened her eyes Sara's face was
turned away, and she was looking
over her shoulder as if cause for alarm
had come from behind.
What is it," cried Hetty anxiously.
She saw the look of dread in her
companions eyes, even as it began
to fade.

Something, | can't tell what, came

| don't want to be alone. Are you

Hetty held back, her face blanching.
NO, | am not afraid" she cried at
once. and started toward the door.
There is some on in this room"
said Sara a few moments later, when
they were in the big bedroom down
the hail.
II wonder" murmured Hetty.
And yet neither of them looked
about in search for the intruder!
Far into the night Sara sat in the
window Of Hettys dressing room, her
chin sunk low in her hands, staring
modify into the now opaque night,
her eyes somber and unblinking, her
body as motionless as death itself.
The cooling wind caressed her and
whispered warnings into her unheed-
ing ears, but she sat there unprotect-
ed against it's chill, her nightdress
damp with the mist that crept up with
sinister stealth from the sea.

She Made No Response.

the rapidly receding car. Shall we
turn back. Miss Castleton?"
No." she cried instantly, with some
thing like Impotence in her voice
And spoil our walk?" she added in
the next breath, adding a nervous
little laugh.
1T seems rather" he began dubi-
ously.
"Oh, let US have our day." she cried
sharply, and led the way into the BY
road.
They came, in the course Of a quar-
ter of an hour, to the bridge over the
mill race. Beyond. in the messy
shades, stood a dilapidated, centurion
structure known as Rangely's mill. a
landmark with history that included
incidents of the Revolutionary war,
when eager patriots held secret meet
ings inside its walls and plotted under
the very noses of Tory adherents to
the crown.
Pausing for a few minutes on the
bridge, they leaned on the rail and
looked down into the clear, mirror
like water of the race. Their own
eyes looked up at them; they smiled
into their own faces. And fleecy
white cloud passed over the glittering
stream and swept through their faces
off to the bank, and was gone forever
Suddenly he looked up from the wa

had seen her clear blue eyes Ill with

She made no response. Her hand

straight before her.

AUDREY EQUAL TO OCCASION
Hard to Refrain From Admitting In
genuity Of This Little Wash
inqton Girl.

Audrey was thirteen, but big girl
for her age, according to the Washing
ton Herald. Yet she was still child
in her absorbing taste for sweets. Not
far from her home the food show,
which is held annually in Washing
ton, was going on, and the idea that
there were pounds of cakes, jellies and
chocolates all ready to be eaten occu-
pied her mind every morning as she
wendell her way to school past the
building. This preoccupation Of
thought resulted in arithmetic in
which four quarts equaled one yard,
and Napoleon crossed the Rubicon on
the ice in history lessons. But Aud
rey was a modern girl, and soon found
a way out of her trouble.
Saturday she decided to put her plan
into execution. Mother had gone to
work at the treasury, and Audrey was
monarch of all she surveyed literally.
She could not get iSto the food show
without being accompanied by an
adult. Now, adults in such cases be-
ing regarded as necessary evils, the
girl determined to be one herself for
the occasion.
Down at the ten-cent store she
bought a diamond ring and a smaller
one Of plain gold. Then she hied home,
arrayed herself in her mothers best
suit, put on picture hat with a big
veil and went to the food show. The
doorkeeper passed her in unnoticed in
the crowd Of others streaming in, for
the figure seemed that of a short WON.

His heart was humping loudly, his
senses swan. Walking to the veran-
dab rail he looked out across the
moonlit sound, then down at the Sc
lected nook over against the garden
wall-spot TO be immortalized!-and
actually shivered. In ten minutes
time, or even less, she would be down
there in his arms! Exquisite medita-

He turned to her with an engaging
smile. in which she might have dis
cerned a prophecy, and asked her to
come with him for a stroll along the
wall. And SO he cast the die.
Hetty sent swift, appealing look
at Sara's purposely averted face. Les
lie observed the act, but misinterpret-

She stood in the doorway and
watched them descend to the terrace,
a sphinx-like smile on her lips Hetty
seemed very tall and erect. as one 60

Then Sara entered the house and
sat down to wait.
A long time after a door closed
stealthily in a distant part OF the
house-the sun parlor door. she knew
by direction.
A few minutes later an upstairs
door creaked on its hinges. Some one
had come Ia from the mellow night,
and some cue had been left outside.
Many mi1utes passed. She sat
there at her fathers writing table
and waited for the other to come in.
At last quick, heavy footballs sounded
on the tiled floor outside and then
came swiftly down the hall toward
the small, remote room in which she
sat. She looked up as he unceremo-
niously burst into the room.
He came across and stood over her,
All expression of utter bewilderment
in his eyes. There was a CHASTITY
smile on his lips.
''D-n it all. Sara" he said shrilly.

He seemed incapable Of comprehen-

She was unmoved. Her eyes mar

emotion.
