CHAPTER ".

| / had twice traverSed the cross lane
near McGowan's Pass tavern waiting
for Barbara Bradford. Although il
had been my intention to ride thithel
/ was amazed to learn on applying al
two of the stables near the park en-
! trance to hire horse that the few
they had there either were owned pri-
vately or had been already engaged
There was nothing for me to do but
to go to my rendezvous on foot. had
almost despaired of Miss BradfOrd's
coming when I spied her cantering
slowly along the lane, followed at a
decorous distance by a groom. She
was looking right and left and when
she saw me her face frightened but
she rode a few steps past me with no
sign of recognition. l was wondering
what to make of this new slight when
she suddenly refined in and allowed
the groom to come up with her.
James," 1 heard her say to the
groom, 'my head aches, and the rid
ing is making 1t worse. Take the
horses back to the stable, and l will
walk the rest of the way home"
Every well, Miss Bradford" he said,
touching his cap, as he assisted her
to alight.
She waited until he had vanished
and then FASTENED to the bench where
was seated, one l had purposely Sc
lected because it was half hidden by
a turn in the road and the branches
of a wide-spreading tree.
She colored wildly as I rose to
greet her with outstretched hand.
'Oh, Mr.. Nelson" she cried, II don't
know what you will think of me, ask
ing you to meet me here. I am in
trouble. I must tell someone. l don't

She looked at me thoughtfully,
me as if questioning wheth-
er or not was to be trusted, and APP
parently deciding in the affirmative,
told me an amazing story.
"It's all about my sister, Claire" she
began. "She's five years older than
