"To where?" asked Monte.
"You spoke of the little villages along

"Yes," he nodded. "There is the village

"Then might go there. C'est tom 6gal"
But look here. Supposing the-this
Hamilton should follow you there?"
"Then | must move again.
Monte paced the room. Obviously this
was not right. There was no reason why
she should be continually bounded. Yet
there seemed to be no way to prevent it,
He stopped in front of her. She glanced
up-her eyes, even now, calm and deep
as trout pools.
"Ill get hold of the beggar to-day" he
aid grimly.
She shook her head.

But he's the one who must go away.
If could have few minutes with him
alone, think perhaps could make him

"Please not" she repeated.
"What's the harm?H
"I don't think it would be safe-for

She raised her eyes as she said that,

relish. Even as she spoke, it was as if
she began to disappear; and for second
he felt again the full weight of his thirty

"Well, can tell him he is annoying

Monte saw the point.
"You mean he'll ask-what business

AVA Here was the same situation that
had confronted him few minutes before.
Not only had he no right, but if he as
sumed right his claim might be misin
terpreted.
Monte's lips came together. AS far as
he himself was concerned, he was willing
to take the risk; but the risk was not his
to take. AS long as he found himself un-
able to devise any scheme by which he
could, even technically, make himself over
into her father, her brother, or even a
first cousin, there appeared no possible
way in which he could assume the right
that would not make it a risk.
Except one way.
Here Monte caught his breath.
There was just one relationship open
to him that would bestow upon him auto
matically the undeniable right to say to
Teddy Hamilton anything that might
occur to him.
