bow was stiff and uncordial, and he
made no movement to offer his hand.

dies at Peak Hall, madam" he said.
II am afraid that you will find us
somewhat unprepared for guests"
81 ask for nothing more than roof"
Louise assured him.
John threw his hat and whip upon
the round table and stood in the center
Of the stone floor. She caught a
glance which flashed between the two
resentment from the other.
I'VE can at least add to the roof a
bed and some supper-and a welcome"
John declared. "Is that not so, Ste
phen?"
The older man turned deliberately
nway. 1t was as If he had not heard
his brothers words.
II will go and find Jennings" he
said. HE must be told about the serv-
ants"
Louise watched the disappearing fig
ure until it was out of sight. Then she
looked up into the face of the younger
man, who was standing by her side.
II am sorry" she murmured apollo
getically. ~ am afraid that your
brother is not pleased at this sudden
intrusion. Really, we shall give you
very little trouble"
He answered her with sudden
eager enthusiasm. He seemed far more
natural then than at any time since he
had ridden up from out of the shad-
ows to take his place in her life.
Il won't apologize for Stephen" he
said. 'He is little crotchety. You
must please be kind and not notice.
You must let me, if I can, offer you
welcome enough for us both"

There have been some of our race who
have been tempted into the lowlands
and the cities. Not one of them
brought honor upon our name. Their
pictures are not here. They are not
worthy to be here"
Stephen set down the candlesticks
and returned to his place. Louise, with
her hands clasped behind her back,
glanced toward John, who still stood
by her side.
"Tell me-" she asked him, "have
none of your people who went out into

Louise, "Iest my welcome to you this
evening should have seemed inhospita-
bic, let me tell you this: Every
Strangewey who has left our county,
and trodden the downward path of
failure, has done so at the instance of
one of your sex. That is why those of
us who inherit the family spirit look
askance upon all strange women. That
is why no woman is ever welcome with
in this house."
Louise resumed her seat in the easy
chair.
81 am so sorry" she murmured,
looking down at her slipper. 81 could
not help breaking down here, could II"
"Nor could my brother fail to offer
you the hospitality of this roof" Ste
phen admitted. "The incident was un-
fortunate but inevitable. 1t is mat
ter for regret that we have so little to
offer you in the way of entertainment"
He rose to his feet. The door had
opened. Jennings was standing there
with a candlestick upon a massive sill
yer salver. Behind him was Aline.
'You are doubtless fatigued by your
journey, madam" Stephen concluded.
Louise made little grimace, but she
rose at once to her feet. She under
stood quite well that she was being
sent to bed, and she shivered little
when she looked at the hour-barely
ten o'clock. Yet it was all in keeping.
From the doorway she looked back in
to the room, in which nothing seemed
to have been touched for centuries.
She stood upon the threshold to bid her
final goodnight, fully conscious of the
complete anachronism of her presence
there.
Her smile for Stephen was respectful
and full of dignity. AS she glanced to-
ward John, however, something
flashed In her eyes and quivered al the
corners of her lips, something which
escaped her control, something which
made him grip for moment the lack
of the chair against which he stood.

Louise, with a heavy, silver-plated
candlestick in her hand, stood upon the
uneven floor of the bedroom to which
she had been conducted, looking up at
the oak-framed family tree which hung
above the broad chimney-piece. She
examined the coat of arms emblazoned
in the corner, and peered curiously at
the last neatly printed addition. which
indicated Stephen and John Strange
