platform when she descended from
the wagon lit in the Care du Nord.
Sleepy passengers crowded with them
into the customs department. She,
alone among them all, was smiling
brightly, as If the world could be sweet

laugh.

of Challis Wrandall. There was some
thing uhcanny in the persistence with
which that ruthless despoiler of peace
forced his way into his dreams, to the
absolute exclusion of all else. The voy-
age home was made horrid by these
nightly reminders of man he scarce
ly knew, yet dreaded. He became
more or less obsessed by the idea that
an evil spell had descended upon him
in the shape of ghostly influence.
The weeks passed slowly for Hetty.
There were no letters from Sara, but

When the night boat from Dover to
Calais slipped away from her moor
ings that evening, Hetty Castleton and
her maid we're on board, with all their
bags and trunks, and Brandon Booth
was supposed to be completely at sea
in the heart of that glittering London
town.
The night was fog-laden and drip
ping, and the crossing promised to be
unpleasant. Wrapped in thick sea-
ulster Hetty sat huddled up in the lea
of the deckhouse, sick at heart and
miserable. She reproached herself for
the scurvy trick she was playing on
him, reviled herself and yet pitied her
self.
A tall man came shambling down
the narrow space along the rail and
stopped directly in front of her. She
started in alarm as he reached out his
hand to support himself against the
deckhouse AS he leaned forward, he
laughed.

said the man.
For a long time she stared at him,
transfixed, and then, with low moan,
covered her eyes with her hands.
SIS it true-is it a dream?" she
sobbed.
He dropped down beside her and
gathered her in his strong, eager arms.

strained her closer to him in a sort o

She was quiet for long time. Ther
