Treverton shrugged his shoulders.
The two men had met on the road
between Maitland and Compton

dusty road and there was no one
else In sight.

Haig laughed. We'll, we needn't

go down that footpath. suppose IT

Il we're much used. daresay we
can End some place where no one
Is likely to see us.
Treverton looked up and down
the long, white road.

OF a fallen tree, Haig seated him.

Trevertou picked Il UP and his
his hand trembled. II was the we'd
ding ring he had given to his first
wife,. and Il was inscribed with their
two names and the date OF their
marriage.
Where did you find this?"
Qucried Treverton after q pause.
His voice was quiet and steady. He
was just able to control II. But the
ring shook In his fingers and there
was look Of awful fear In his eyes.
II found him in the Holt woods.

him up from under some leaves

Yes, sir-about half q mile In

mean the very spot?"

big ash. were havin' look at
the tree; seemed to me a. II wanted
to come down afore It did damage"
Treverton laughed mirthlessly.
"w'ell. It doesn't matter. Gyatt." he
said. II was only wondering how
II got there: but. OF course, II
doesn't matter. Have you shown
It to any one?"

vously lingering the ring. land II
you don't mind. Gyatt. I'd rather you
said nothing about II to anyone"
II won't say nothin' about It, sir"
Gyatt broke In hastily. The sight
Of .h!s masters emotion did not
move him. But he saw prospect
of material advantage to himself.
and he was quick to seize II. He
was q hard man. but very capable.

Treverton held out the note.
Honesty is worth more" he said
with a smile. Your daughter Is TO

The man scowled and nodded.

"and tell her from me that I hope
she'll be happy"
Thank you kindly, sir" said Gy-

You think II over"
II will. sir, and thank you kindly.
The rogue might hang for all care,
but there be my darter to think Of"
The man left the room, and Trev.
erton stared at the ring that he
held between the thumb and fore
finger OF his left hand. The mask
Of self-control had been torn from
his waco. II showed hagsard and
CHASTITY In the electric light. The
shadow of a great terror was In his
eyes.
A faint chink OF metal broke In
upon his thoughts. The ring had
fallen from his fingers and was roll.
ing slowly toward the edge Of the
table. II struck a paperknife, spun
round a few times, and buSsed to a
standstill. Treverton. rose from his
chair, picked up the ring. and held
II close to the light. II was dull
and weather stained In spite Of the
purity of the gold.
In one place there was dark
speck. and on another q smear the
whole breadth of the ring. He
picked up a magnifying glass and
closely scrutinized the marks. II
seemed to him that they had dark
reddish tinge. He shuddered. and
the glass fell from his hand. spin

Then the door opened. and Mrs.
Lowther entered the room.
"Sibyl is asking for you. Jim.
she said. He thrust the ring into
his waistcoat pocket.
"All right" he said. .I1l come
at once. Gyatt has Just gone"
Mrs. Lowther looked at him In
quiringly. The light was full on his
face. and she saw the unnatural
pallor Of his skin. the lines about
his mouth, the fear in his eyes.
Have you had bad news!" she
queried.
