ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

at the recollection of how vehemently
she had vert on Hcnry's shoulder
with Henry's arm round her, but it
| died again at the insistently recur-
ring thought:
II had handkerchief. 1 dried my
eyes with 1t. Where is it?
Not only had she dried her eyes
with it, but after that she remem-
bered scrubbing the finger-tips that
had touched the slug. The handker-
! chief must be horribly smeared and
wet. 1t was one of Renatas, of
course, white, with a blue check
border and "R. Molloy, ~" in mark
!ng-ink across one corner. Imagine
buying twelve horrors like that!
Mercifully Renata must have lost
most of them, for Jane had inherited
only four
She brought her thoughts back
with jerk. Where was it? If she
had dropped it in the house it would
have been either in the hall. on the
stairs, or in the corridor, and one of
the housemaids would have brought
it to her by now. 1t must have fallen
in the cross-passage where she had
stood with Henry, and if it were
found
Jane moved a step or two back
ward and sat down on the edge of
the bed.
"Of all the first-class prize idiots,''
she said, and there words failed her.
If she had dropped it in the cross
passage, it might lie there until
Sunday night. when she could get
Henry to retrieve it, or it might not,
Ember - Lady Heritage Anthony
Luttrel. any one Of these three
people might have business in that
cross passage, in which case hand
kerchief. even if stained, was just the
most unlikely thing in the world to
pass unnotced. Even if no one went
up that passage, 1T might be seen
from the main tunnel. OF course If
it were Anthony Luttrell who found
il, it would not matter But it was
so very much more likely to be one
of the others.
At intervals during the morning
Jane continued to argue the question.
or, rather two questions. First, the
probabilities for and against the
handkerchief being discovered: and,
second, should she, or should she not,
go and look for it herself in defiance
of Henry's prohibition? She had
spoken the truth. but not the whole
truth, when she told Henry that she
hated the idea of going into the
passages alone. She hated going, but
she wanted to go. Most ard emily she
desired to find things out before
Henry found them out 1t would be
nice and safe to sit with her hands
in her lap whilst Henry explored
secret subterranean caverns and I'M
travelled dangerous conspiracies-safe
but hideously dull When Henry had
finished exploring and unraveling he
would come along frightfully pleased
with himself and want her to be
gagged to him, and he would always,
always feel superior and convinced
that he had done the whole thing
himself. 1t was a most intolerable
thought. more intolerable than green
slime and being alone in the dark.
1t was at this point that Jane made
up her mind that she would go and
look for her handkerchief herself
without waiting for Henry.
Having made her decision, she found
an unlooked-for opportunity for carry
ing it out, for at lunch Lady Heritage

part, which is opening that ABDOMINAL
spring"
Jane hesitated, weighing the duty
OF a swift return against the pleasure
or exploring and perhaps getting
ahead of Henry. The recollection that
Henry had forbidden her to explore
turned the scale-toward pleasure.
She had four inches of candle and
whole box OF matches. She had at
least two hours of liberty, and, most
important OF all, she felt herself to
be In frame of mind which invited
success. The question was where 10
begin.
On the right-hand side there was
only TINS single passage. Jane did
not feel attracted by it. She was al
most sure that it must lead to the
potting shed, and to descend from
conspiraces to garden lumber would
ihdeed be an anticlimaX.
On the left there were four pas
sages. Jane walked back along the
way she had come. The first passage
left the main tunnel at an acute
angle, which obviously carried it back
under the main block of the house.
Jane decided to explore it. She held
her candle high in one hand and her
skirts close with the other. The pas

candles which was half burned down.
She then went downstairs, and, after
listening anxiously for some moments,
she once more moved the heavy chair
and, climbing on 1t, began to feel for
the knots on the paneling. AS her
| fingers found and pressed them, she
heard, simultaneously with the click OF
the released spring, a faint thudding
noise With spasm of horror she
knew that some one had passed through
| the baiZe door that shut off the
| servants wing. The sound she had
heard was the sound of the door falling
| back into place, and at any other
moment it would have gone unnoticed.
Fortunately for herself, Jane was
accustomed to a rapid transition from
| thought to action. She was off the
chair, across the hall. and sitting with
book on her lap when the butler made
| his usual rather slow entrance.
She had recognized at once that it
would be impossible for her to replace
the chair and escape discovery. 1t
stood in the shadow, and sne hoped
for the best.
Blotson crossed the hpli and dis
appeared into Sir Williams study
Jane gazed at printed page upon
which the letters of the alphabet
were playing General post" After
some interminable minutes Bloston
reappeared He shut the study door,
approached Jane. and in q low and
confidential voice inquired would she
have tea in the hall, the drawing room
or the library.
ooh the library" said Jane; the
library, Blotson."
And with majestic Very good,
miss" Blotson withdrew.
BLOSSOMS Very good" always re-
minded Jane of the royal assent to
an act of Parliament. 1t was doubt
less a form but how stately, how
diEnified a form.
When the chill superinduced by the
presence of Blotson had yielded to a
more natural temperature, Jane went
on tiptoe across the hall and replaced
the chair. 1t was a comfort to re-
fleet that it had escaped BLOSSOMS all
embracing eye. With a hasty glance
she swung the panel inward, slipped
through. and closed it again.
She descended all the steps before

announced her intention of putting in
several hours of laboratory work, whilst
1t transpired that Ember was going out
in the two-seater car, which he drove
himself, and that he was quite uncer-
tain when he would be back. Jane at
once made up her mind that, as soon
as the coast was quite clear, she would
slip down into the passages. She
would wait until lunch had been
cleared away and the servants were
safely out of the way. No one was
likely to come into the hall, and the
whole thing would be so much less
terrifying than another midnight eX-
petition.
Ember excused himself before lunch
was over, and she heard him drive away
a few minutes later; but Lady Heritage
sat on, her untasted coffee beside her.
She sat with her chin in her hand.
looking out of the window. and it was
obvious enough that her thoughts were
far away. She was probably I'M
conscious of James presence, certainly
industrious of it, and yet, for the life
of her, Jane could not have risen or
asked If she might go. Once or twice
she looked from under her lashes at
Raymond's still white face. There was
a new look upon it since yesterday. She
was sadder and yet softer. She looked
as If she had not slept at all.
After a very long half hour she
turned her eyes on Jane. There was a
flash of surprise and then a frown.
You needn't have waited" she said
in a cold voice, and then got up and
went out without another word.
Jane took a book into the hall and
sat there.
Presently she caught a glimpse of
Raymond white overall in the upper
corridor, and heard the clang with
which the steel gate closed behind her.
She sat quite still and went on reading
until all sounds from the direction of
the dining room had ceased. Silence
settled upon the house, and she told
herself that this was her opportunity.
She ran up to her room, changed into
the serge dress. and put on a pair of
outdoor shoes. She did not possess an
electric torch and the question of a
light had exercised her a good deal.
The best she could do was TO pocket a
box of matches and one of the bedroom

CHAPTER NN.
II was not till next day that Jane
missed her handkerchief. When she
reached her room after saying good
bye to Henry she had rolled the serge
dress, the wet felt slippers and the
damp stockings into a bundle and
pushed them right to the back of her
ctpl card She was so sleepy that
she hardly knew how she undressed.
The instant her head touched the
pillow, she slept. a pleasant, dream
less sleep. and only woke with the
houscmaid's knock.
II was when she was drinking a
Very welcome cup of tea that sh e
began to wonder whether she was
engaged to Henry or not. on the
one baud. Henry undoubtedly APP
pearod TO think that she was: on the
other. Jane felt perfectly satisfied
that she had pledged herself to moth

dimplc appeared in James cheek as
she came to the conclusion that
Henry was possibly engaged to her,
hut that she was certainly not en-
gagged to Henry. It seemed to her
10 De n very peasant state OF dffalrS.
1t was, in fact, with great reluctance
that she transferred her thoughts TO
more practical matters.
Having dressed, she extracted the
bundle of clothes from the cupboard
and decided that the serge dress
might be hung up. There were one
or two damp patches and several
green smears, but the former would
dry and the latter. when dry, would
brush off
But the slippers are awful" she
said.
They were; the cork soles sopping
wet the felt drenched and Shiny She
made a brown paper parcel Of them
and put it at the extreme back of the
cupboard. The stockings she con-
signed to the clothes basket.
Il can wash them out later on"
she thought.
It was at this point that she
missed her handkerchief She had
had g. handkerchief the night before.
She was sure of that, because she
remembered drying her eyes with it
after she had cried
little color came into her face

she ventured to light her candle, and
she was careful to put the spent
match into her pocket. Renatas
dress really did have a pocket, which.
Of course. made the dropping of the
handkerchief quite ineXcusable.
The passage was much less terri
flying when one had light of ones
own instead of the distant glimmer
of somebody elses and the horrid
possibility of being let at any mo-
ment in total darkness, with no idea
of ones whereabouts or of how to get
out.
James spirits rose brightly. To
dread thing and then to find it easy
provides one with a pleasant sense of
difficulty overcome. In great cheer
fulness of spirit, Jane walked along
until she came to the cross passage
on her right. She turned up 1t,
walked a few steps. holding her can
die high, and there, couple of yards
from the entrance, lay the handk err
chief, rolled into a wet and very dirty
ball. She picked it up gingerly and
put 1t into her convenient pocket.
And | suppose I ought to go back
at once, but what a waste when

sage was low and she had to bend a
little. After half a dozen yards she
came to a flight of steps. They were
wet, slippery and very steep. Jane
stood on the top step and looked
down.
The walls oozed moisture the cam
delight showed her a pale slug
about five inches long-Jane said six
to start with, but, under pressure
from Henry, retreated as far as five
and would not yield another half
inch. She also said that the slug
waved it's horns at her and was crawl
ing in her direction. Right there, as
the Americans say, she made up her
mind that this would be a good pas
sage to explore with Henry later on.
She caught a glimpse of another slug
on level with the fifth step, whisked
around, and ran.
THE one point about slugs is that
they can't rum" she said as she came
back into the main corridor
