"Was any ticket issued for long Jour-
ney to girl of twenty after the arrival of
the first train from Pont Aven?" she
asked the agent.
"1'iens!" he said. "Such one booked to
Nantes. remember thinking that she had
a lot of money, because she picked hum
dred-franc note out of fair-sized packet.
And she possessed one trunk black
one, iron clamped and studded with
brass nails"
With that Yvonne had to be satisfied.
Madeleine might or might not have gone
to Nantes; whence, if SO minded she could
travel on to Paris in the same train. 1t
was difficult to account for her possession
OF the amount of money spoken of by the
observer behind the wicket; but Mrs.
Carmac solved the riddle at once.
Until am convinced to the contrary
she declared, 81 shall believe that your
friend is on her way to meet Rupert Fos-
dyke somewhere. OF course he would
provide her with ample means. Gold is
the most potent Of all lures.
1vonne shuddered. Her mother was
least lovabe when she became cynical.
1T was relief, in sense, when the car
sped down the hill into Pont Aven,
and she could make some excuse to hurry
home. Her father and Lorry, thinking
she would be absent till much later
hour. had gone out, tempted by the con-
tinued fine weather
But she was given no respite from her
misery. Madame Brssac had posted an
urchin to watch for the return of the mo-
torists. She came now to gather tidings
OF her wayward niece, and Yvonne was
obliged to confess that Madeleine was not
at her cousins house.
Then the storm broke. Madame Bris-
sac had been aware that Madeleine had
outraged local conventions by walking
out with stranger, and she poured her
wrath on Yvonne.
"Ths is your doing!' she screamed, her
black eyes flashing fire, and her swarthy
skin bleaching yellow with fury. "You
turned her head with your fine friends
and their fairy tales. What could | ex-
pect but that my girl would be led
astray? But her character is not til, only
one at stake. When we know the truth
we'll hear more about that precious aunt
of yours. Aunt, indeed! Who ever heard
of an aunt screaming for her daughter and
meaning her niece?'
Mere Pitou hustled out. breathing tho
flame of battle. Marie Brissac,n she
cried, you ought to be ashamed of your

the bone coming out in the flesh? Have
you forgotten why Jean Brissac married

mine isn't. | can tell you now that Made

Englshmans head. and if that's news
to you, it's the talk of everybody else in
Pont Aven. Don't you dare come here in
sulting my friends, or you'll get more
than you bargain for!'
"Oh, please, please, don't quarrel with
Madame Brissac on my account, walled
Ivonne, daring all, even blow, and put

woman's shoulders. "You poor DEAR

silent.
1T was dusk when they reached the ho-
tel Popple was standing there with
two strangers.
"Any news?" inquired Mrs. Carmac as
she alghted.
ayes, Ma am, an not the BEST" said
Popple. "The wreck is all broken up.
The diver has been over the south side of
the reef, an saw nothin but scrap IRON"

MADELEINE failed to join the sup
per party at Madame Pitou's that
night. She excused herself on account of
a headache.
"If was her aunt, I'd set her to scrub
the stairs" commented Mere Pitou en-
phatically. "Work is the only tonic Made
leine needs. When the hands are busy
the wits don't stray
Gvonne was just able to repress sigh.
Mere Pitou knew of her friend $ folly, and,
if she knew, there must have been gossip in
the village. There was chance, the bar

leine could be persuaded to receive him
gracously and fix an early date for their
marriage. The girl had already ruined
any prospects she might have possessed of
being elected Queen for the next Feast of
the Gorse Flowers. The Pont Aven maid
who aspires to this must display not only
pretty face but a spotless escutcheon. It
might be that Madeleine would see this
for herself If not, she must be told.
NEXT morning, then, Yvonne called at
Madeleine's cottage in order to make
a later appointment Madame Brssac,
who admitted her, was in tears.
Madeleine is gone!" she exclaimed.
"She went to Quimperle by the early
train. Nothing could say would prevail
on her. I've never seen her so determined
about anything"
But why has she gone to Quimperl6?"
Gvonne faltered.
"That grinning fool Peridot left her too
much to herself. She has been moping
about the house during the last week, say

The mounds. on which the name is

antiquity in the regions of the mounds
