village speak Of her different
expression comes into their faces.
The very mention of her name
seems to purify the Atmosphere.
However, she is not much to
look at, is she?"
The color flew to Octavia's
cheeks. She was mortified at be-
ing the subject of this mans con-
versation.
Frigidly she answered: 81 am

man, going on with his work,

REFRESHING a mild resentment
at this unmistakable picture of
her Aunt Georgiana, she remem-
bered with an effort that this man
believed himself chatting with
gardeners daughter. To avoid
further talk on the subject, she
arose, again stood at his shoulder
and appeared interested in his
work. I'VE must replace that
knight In armor. You could not
do better than honor common

PANDORA'S BOX"

al snub was a tall young man of
angular figure. While never ac-
cused Of beauty, he bore face in
which intelligence, honesty and a
sense of humor were clearly writ
ten.
Earlier than usual, he walked
back to the village of Drumworth.
about a mile from the castle.
He remembered, in the midst of
his notifications. that Mrs. Pin
dar, at whose cottage he was lodg-
Ing, had once been a maid to this
Lady Octavia's mother; and, al
though poor Mrs. Pindar's mind
was now a blank, Sally 'Pindar,
the daughter, might be tempted
to talk about the exasperating
passenger who had ruined the aft
ernoon.
The ledger drew up a chair and
seated himself before the maiden.
Then, from Sally Pindar's lips,
came the information he desired.
The Lady Octavia, when years
old, had lost her mother. Upon
this mothers death sister or the
Earl of Drumworth. the Lady
Georgiana, most exclusive per-
son, came to the castle and took
the mothers place. And Octayia,
being an only child, received
most exclusive education. Per-
sistent effort bore its fruit. The
child realized at an early age that
benevolent Creator, while peo-
ping the earth, had established
two classes of humans, distinct
and far asunder: people Of birth
and others. OF these others not
much was expected. But of those
we'll born, of whom too much
could never be said, the child Oc-
tavia was amply informed.
And although Lady Octavia,
said Sally Pindar, sis now a per-
son with her own opinions, she
has had so much attention, being
the only child of a great house.
that her pride is quite natural"

Slowly, under the clustered
arches. through her own garden
and then along the great terrace
walked Lady Octavia, with puz-
zled brow and absent look. She
was striving vainly to recall the
forgotten person to whom this ar
chitect bore so strange resemb-
lance.
Mean while her irritation was
not diminished by the conscious
! ness that the great Richard, as
an embodiment of reckless hero
ism. had dropped a peg or two in
her esteem. At lunch this day
she remarked carelessly:
Wouldn't it be dreadful if our
great Richard was something of a
humbug, like so many others?"
At the table was her great
aunt, the Lady Georgiana, and her
father, Lord Aylesden. Her grand
father, the Eary of Drumworth,
was absent.
Auntie George Strengthened up.
What do you mean, Octavia?"
Auntie George asked.
why, | mean by going into
battle SO we'll protected in his
iron clothes that nobody could
hurt him. And then killing COM
mon soldiers who had no protec-
ton in the way of armor."
Still at work in his ridiculous
blouse, Octavia found the archi-
tect next morning. He stood aside
that she might better survey his
work.

reached the lady's ears; but her
eyes opened. And although they
opened slowly, they caught him

In the hope of diverting atten-

inquired:

CHAPTER II.
Lady OctaYia'S Discovery


Many time during the next "a
hours the ferryman recalled the
sixpence Tip" and the kind lady
who bestowed it.
The kind lady, on the contrary,
did not once recall either the gift
or the recipient.
The following morning, 1t being
customary to work an hour or so
in her own little garden, training
and trimming plants and gather
ing flowers, she put on, as usual,
an old straw hat, blue bingham
apron and her working gloves. AS
child, she had shown democrat
ic tastes pardonable perhaps In a
person of ordinary clay, but not
befitting a Drumworth.
And then began, on the part of
Auntie George, vigilant, syste-
matte and unceasing instruction
in family pride. The vine grew
as it was trained and Lady Octa-
via, at 20, enjoyed a conspicuous
ness of superiority that needed no
support.
Strengthening up after she had
worked over her flowers for a
time, Lady Octavia closed her eyes
and inhaled, with a deep breath,
the flower scented afr of her gar
den.
After standing a moment and
looking idly around. her eyes rest
ed upon a narrow door near the
corner of the eastern wall. To be
sure the door had always been
there. But it had always been
closed. Now it was ajar. She
wondered, in an idle way, why it
was open. AS many months had
passed since she had visited that
portion-the older and disused
portion of the castle, she strolled
beneath the narrow archway and
entered a court.
Along a clustered passage she
continued until she came out into
garden. This garden was the
original terrace of the castle and
dated from William the Con-
queror. ~
Whenever she came to this gar
den-a favorite resort in her
childhood-it had always stirred
her imagination. She had likened
it to the Garden of the Sleeping
Beauty.
Strolling along a weed grown
path, Lady Octavia heard sound
in her vicinity that was not in
harmony with the forgotten
stories of the little garden. She
stopped-and frowned. A man
was whistling. Looking up at Il
great mulIioned window1 sjust
above her she noticed that bne of
the swinging easements was open.
And ais she stood there the whist
ling ceased. 1t was followed by a
very low humming, as OLA man
absorbed in his work.
Lady Oetavia entered pass

to her left and stood at the door
