Seton Shut the door again and
walked over to the fireplace.

not wait for her to speak, he went

She sprang to her feet.

He raised his brows.

he said. "Lyster is very average

Her courage seemed to have de-
serted her, though she did not show
it, she was afraid of this man; it
seemed to her that there was some
underlying motive in all he was say

to a point which had been forming

He had moved closer to her again
now; his head was craned forward
in a peculiarly eager fashion.
Nan fell back from him.

she said, breathlessly.
He laughed unpleasantly.

He took up his hat and the riding
whip from the table.
Il wish you good-day," he said.
The gate creaked protestingly as
ne shut 1t, and then all was silence.
Nan stood where he had left her,
her hands grasping the chair-back
She felt as if the afternoon had
been a bad dream.
No wonder the boys had not Xix

stinct had warned her against him.
And her father and Peter both

aloud. "A man like that would say

She began mechanically to clear
way the tea-things. She carried
them out to the little-maid, who
was straining her eyes by the twi-
light to read a novelette,; then she
pened t beside door and went out
INTO the garden.
It was not dark yet. A breath Of

ccurred; why was this? Deep down
IN her heart she knew; knew that
though she had called Seton a liar
and refused to believe what he had
SAID, something had told her that ba
had spoken the TRUTH
Nan had never been on affection
ate terms with her father.
She knew that, no matter how
deeply involved he might be. he
would never make a confidante Of
her.
And now the menacing figure of
Harley Seton had stepped in.
What had he meant when he said
that it rested with her whether or
not he asked Peter to repay the
money he had borrowed?
Nan had not THE faintest idea
she walked up and down in the
dusky garden racking her brains for
q solution.
What had he meant by limiting
that Peter was shamming?-she re-
membered her own doubts, and fear
stabbed her heart.
She reached the gate, and for a
moment leaned over it, looking
down the road to the village beyond
where few lights twinkled family
through the darkness
Peter! What was he doing now
jealousy of Arnott's sister rose
again in her mind; Arnott had said
that she was one of the best-sup-
posing Peter got to like her, and
then to love her.
Unconsciously Nan fingered the
ring which she wore at her neck;
she had always felt that she got
courage from touching il. but TO-,
night it left her cold.
you've got no pluck, ny girl,7
she told herself fiercely. she clutch
ed her hands on the cold iron spikes
at the top of the gatetill they hurt
her soft flesh.

She walked past him to the door.
Seton watched her.
What are you going to do?" he
asked.
Il am going to fetch my father
nd ask him to turn you out of the
ouse," she answered.
Seton laughed.
DO, by all means; but I'm afraid
ne won't oblige you"
There was a note of certainty in
his voice that arrested Mans atten-
ton. She looked back at him.
Seton was leaning over a chair
back, tapping the heel of his boot
with riding crop he carried.
"YOu will find your father would
infinitely prefer that / remain" he
said cody.
Mans blue eyes searched his face,
she caught her breath.
II suppose you will be telling me
next that my father owes you
money as well?" she said scornfully.
ut would be no more than the
TRUTH" he answered.
He raised himself suddenly from
his STOPPING position, and crossing
the room to where she stood,
stretched a hand above her head
and shut the door.
Look here, Miss Marraby," he
said more gently. "I'm not out to
quarrel with you-I admire you
more than any woman I've met in
all my life, and"
"Thank you," said Nan furious
ly. "Your admiration is an honor
which / can do without"
He smiled.

You don't like me for some reason,
but l assure you that l can be a
very good friend to you and your
family, if you will allow me. My
business, l suppose, you despise-
most women do, ! believe-but I'm
what you might call an unfortunate
necessity. If your father was not
borrowing money from me he would
be borrowing money from some
body else, and I daresay am treat
