 "Too dark 10 see. You will be wondering why I came back after our tiff last evening.

 T have been Wretched all day, hut now l am so happy" Margaret scaled the peace compact.
 "Well, I cannot resume my hahis la'ion here openly on the old lines, . said Guy. Friend Roake would soon get wind of it through the b. cal police. and I want To lie doggo fin Klyne has won the trick. I have the utmost confidence in that young man He conceded my innocence rom inc first"
 "But how do you propose to live m house full of chatterine scrv- ants and keep your presence so- cret?" Margaret asked
 "I can only do if with your con niyance and help," replied Guy. "If you are willing to accord them I shall occupy the hidden chamber in the east wing, in the family archives called The Priests Hole I should have 10 rely on you, dearest, to feed me and let me out for an exercise stroll in the park' after dark" "Of course I will do it." rejoined Margaret, ''I owe you a lot more Ithan that for being such a pig last night"
 If you talk such rot I will give myself up 10 Roakr," said Guy. But as you have more sense I will so down the ladder and replace fl where the midnight marauder took 1 if from. In the meanwhile you can slip on dressing gown or some. thing and 20 down and let me ir ! through inc study window. Thor hey' for my hidey-hole and tile min. istrations of my beloved gaoler."

 Not much comfort and no day light commented Margaret. notinp the wooden bunk, two medieva chairs of great hardness and { table. "You'll need candles, be- clothes and toilet ware"
 NO time like the present." sai, Guy, we will go and fetch tn things now, while everyone ] asleep"
 They did so and when Margare had thoroughly mastered the ma nipulatiOn Of the movable pane Guy stepped into what he called hi ,hunkhole.
