Booth, restless with q vague uneaai-
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 bis interest until q
seasonable tlms arrived for appearing
at Southlook. He was unable to ac-
count for this feeling OF uncertainty
and irritation.
AT nine he set out to walk over to
Southlook, realizing that ne should
have to spend an hour in profitless
gossip with the lodge keeper before
presenting himself at the villa, but
somehow relshlng the thought that
even SO he would be nearer to Hetty

Halfway there we was overtaksn by
Sara's big French machine returning
from the village, The car came to a

II pass, and Sara herself leaned over
and cordially invited him to get in and
ride home with her.

claimed as he took his seat beside

Leslie did not turn up at his fathers
place In the High street that night
until Booth was safely out OF the way.
He spent dismal evening at the boat
club.
His father and mother we're In the
library when he came home at half
past ten. From a dark corner OF the
garden he had witnessed Booths early
departure. Vivian had gone down to

after Leslle's entrance.

drew very long breath-the first In
several hours-and then expelled II

Mr.. Wrandall turned a leaf In his
book. 1t sounded like the crack O.
doom. so still had the room become.
Vivian had the forethought to push

reread four or Ave pages before dis
covering his error.
No one spoke for q matter Of Ave

alert. swift-moving scrutiny that he
fastened upon the crowd.
Later on, he stood looking down
into her serious blue eyes; her hands
were lying limp In his. His own eyes
were dark with earnestness, with the
restraint that had fastened itself upon
him. Behind her stood the respectful
but immeasurably awed maid, who
could not, for the life OF her, under
