hours at Jervaulx, been dismissed to
bed with an august but approving kiss
from Lady Erythea. and protective,
cousinly hand shake from the sedate
Alexander Lambe. She had not been
denounced as an impostOr, flung out
with ignominy, or handed over to the
police. All these things had seemed

likely.

II suppose they do said Aimee, re
garding him thoughtfully.
Mrs. Summing brought an abundant
meal; chiefly eggs and tea. Aimee
found it the merriest feast she had
ever sat down to. Finally, she &C.
companied Billy to Mrs. Dale's door
and, returning, retired to her own
room. She was about to let down her
hair, but desisted, and instead sat on
the bed for some time, thinking. She
heard Mrs. Summing retire, and pres
emily silence reigned throughout the
house.
A curious sense Of loneliness crept
over Aimee's spirit. She remained
sitting for nearly half an hour. Pres
emily she blew out the candle and
leaned out Of the open window. The
window Of Billy's room at the other
end of the building was in darkness
1t had not taken Billy long to retire.
Aimee stayed awhile at the window
She returned to the bed, and reflect

"Billyl" she murmured thought
fully. "Old chapi"
She laughed gently.

The reverie took shape. Then,
with little sigh, she slipped off her
shoes, and, carrying them with her,
stole very softly down the staircase
to the front door, On trying the door
she found 1t bolted, and
the latch fmmovable Also no key was
visible. She realized she was locked

Of the window, and inspected the wall
critically. 1t was covered with Ivy
and trellis-work.
She swung herself cautiously out
onto the sill, and began very quietly
to descend the treltfs. Aimee, active
and long-limbed. could climb like a

steady voice-when a fool would have

machine slowed, and swung round the
bend safely at bare eight miles an
hour-but without sounding the horn.
There was an astonished shout and
