braver, and stepped out briskly, re-
solved to do his bit.
As he approached the house the front
door opened and the very lady herself
appeared. She carried a stick and was
evidently setting forth on walk.
This is very nice of you to come so
soon, Mr.. Hobhouse," she said. Il am
glad l hadn't gone further before you
appeared"
''Oh, but don't let me stop you, Miss
Kendall" said Mr.. Hobhouse anxiously.
Really, can't allow it; no, no, really
not. You mustn't turn back, indeed
you mustn't! Perhaps ! shall find Mr..
Kendall at home"
81 was only going for walk to no
where in particular" She looked at him
with an irresistible mixture of coyness
and frankness and suggested. Would
you care to come for little walk, too?
It's far too early for tea"
What could the poor gentleman do!
He gushed over the suggestion, of course,
and accepted it.
''I was going to walk down to the
Shore" she said. will that suit you?"
Mr.. Hobhouse assured her that any
where would suit him; he had no choice
at all; anywhere, everywhere, nowhere
would be all the same to him.
AS they walked side by side down to-
ward the sea, he was suddenly struck
with the sense of being in a familiar
situation, of a repetition of something
that had happened before. And then he
realized that this was actually the walk
that the same girl and a young man
Merton had taken on a memorable Au-
gust night. He noted through his glasses
the very wall behind which he had lit
his pipe when the fare of his match
revealed the butt end of pistol and
presently they were following the same
winding way above the beach.
This did not serve to make the playing
of his part any the easier. 1t filed him,
in fact. with a continual fear of giving
himself away by doing something he had
done before. 1t was really most ir-
rational fear; but there it was. I'm
der the circumstances his sustained bab-
BILE and blink were distinctly creditable.
But what gave him a more excusable
cause for apprehension was Miss Rem
dall's own attitude. That there was
something on her mind, something be
hind her words, he felt morally certain.
She spoke in the most natural way and
on the most commonplace topics, but
there were frequent silences and it was
during those he felt that without look =
ing directly at him. she was watching
him. And once or twice he got it into
his head that she was little puzzled
and uncertain, though whether it was
about what to think or what to do. he
had no conception. He told himself that
all this was only his own morbid imag-
nation. Still, it made that walk an
uncomfortable ordeal and seldom did
actor have to work harder to keep his
end up.
Luckily. however, the man had the
virtue of impudence and not only did
} he manage to entertain the lady with

Billy would be finished right there and
then.
But Billy had refuge in sight. He
lodged King Birds dash and, quick as
the flash of an eye, he popped into the
open beak of Kingfsher.
The birds saw. him vanish, but they
didn't have the slightest idea where he
had gone. Neither did Kingfsher. He
closed his big beak, but the inside was
like small cavern to honey bee, and
Billy, instead Of being crushed, had
plenty of room.
Peggy saw that Billy was safe from

"Chee, chez, chee! They got away

year. The object is to develop patri-

Golden Rule into daily practice. The
unit of the organization is the patrol
of from six to eight boys; troop"
comprises two or more patrols" and

perhaps, but if in conjunction with

There was indeed a low gurgle just
audible, as if the waves were breaking
into some cave. 1t struck me that
she must have singularly sharp ears to
have noticed it. We stood there for a
minute or two longer, and then she
asked:
"Do you see any ancient remains,
Mr.. Hobhouse?"
1t was not, in fact, ancient remains
that the eye glasses were looking at,
but I jumped at the chance of making
sure of my bearings, and with an ap-
